Getting into UT Austin (not top 8%)?

<p>Alright, thank you schemegel, that’s really helpful!</p>

<p>Also, any opinions on how much better my chances would become if I were to study like crazy for the next 5 months and manage a 2400 on the SAT (a friend of mine just did this so I think I could pull it off). Despite a class rank of 10-11%, would I get in with a perfect SAT (and other resume stuff previously listed)?</p>

<p>bumpppppppppp</p>

<p>another bbbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuuuuuump</p>

<p>Dude I’m sorry but to think you cram hardcore and get a 2400 is way too out there! Fewer then 1% of everyone gets 2400s so maybe go for something reasonable! Also you’ll probably be ok with 10-11% anyway!</p>

<p>Did you end up getting in?</p>

<p>I was wondering I have a 3.7 gpa 25 act what schools can I get into top8% texas resident what texas schools can I get into in texas tamu I am also black from Africa if that helps ut Austin or Texas tech or tcu would love to go tcu or smu any chance. Also I applied to tulane will I get accepted
