<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>I'm about to be a high school senior, and I'm currently in the process of applying for colleges. I'm really hoping to get into either A&M or UT Austin, although I messed up my GPA pretty badly during high school so I doubt they ill accept me. It honestly makes me sick when I think that I may not get accepted anywhere because I took my education for granted these last few years. I am completely serious about bringing my grades up this year and keeping them up throughout college, but for now I need to know if I have a chance at getting accepted at any of the schools I am applying to:</p>
<p>UT Austin
Texas A&M
SMU
St. Edward's
Texas Tech
University of Houston
Baylor
Rice</p>
<p>I know some of these I have no chance of getting into, but I am applying anyway just in case. My credentials are as follows:</p>
<p>Weighted GPA: 3.6
Rank: Top 36%
SAT Score: 2280 (Math + Reading = 1480)
Extracurriculars: President of 2 clubs; Secretary of 1 club; Treasurer of 1 club; member of National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society, and Hindi National Honor Society
Work: 10-12 hours a week every year
Interned at a company in New York and at a non-profit in India
AP scores:
English Language - 5
World History - 3
US History - 4
Spanish Language - 3
I plan on taking 6 more AP exams by the end of this year.</p>
<p>I know my GPA and rank are horrible, but it would be extremely helpful if someone could tell me which schools (out of the ones I am applying to or any other ones in Texas) I have a shot at getting into. Also, if I apply for a major such as Creative Writing or English, would it help my application if I include a short story that I've written in the supplemental information section?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
