I’m currently a junior in high school in Texas What are my chances of getting into UT?

I haven’t taken my SAT yet but I am in two weeks. Thanks.
Also, I want to major in Biology but I’m more interested in Psychology. But, I want to become a Pediatrician, so I don’t know what I want to do. Any advice? Thanks.
you’ll be fine. i got into engineering two weeks back with bad rank but 2090 SAT (1450 Composite) and 790 math level 2.
Your rank will make you an auto admit.
The majors you are interested in aren’t the super selective ones, so either should be okay. Either major will get you to med school. You just have to take the courses to prepare yourself for the MCAT.

Keep your rank up through the end of this school year and you will be auto admit into UT but not necessarily your major of choice. Score well on your SAT/ACT and you’ll help with that. The second link is average SAT by college.
The cool thing about UT (and a lot of other schools) is that you can major in anything as you prepare to go to medical school. The first link is the UT ore-health page and has both a list of classes to prepare you for medical school and a report on acceptances to medical school by major.
