<p>My dd is a junior and will be applying in the fall for UT 2010. She is in the top 10% and got an 1810 on SAT. Does she stand a chance to get into the Business School or Natural Science School? She has a 3.70 GPA and lots of community service hours. She is also active in the numerous clubs and holds officer positions.</p>
<p>Thanks!

<p>You don’t say where in the top 10% she is. She is guaranteed to get into the University, but the business school is another story. Basically, they start with the top 1%, then 2%, etc until they have filled 75% of their spots. At that point, the rest of the top 10% kids along with everyone else is fighting for the remaining 25% of the spots.</p>
<p>If she has only taken the SAT once, I would encourage her to do so again and try to pull it up a bit. As an alternative, she could take the ACT. They will translate the ACT score into an eqivalent SAT score. (My son did MUCH better on the ACT)</p>
<p>Natural Sciences is still competitive, but not nearly as much as the business school</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>Hi! She is in-state and an Austin resident. We will consider taking the ACT.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>A friend of mine got into McCombs with a 3.75 GPA and a 1600 something SAT score. She is 7/152 students. Your daughter is doing very well IMO.</p>
