<p>Hi, I applied around late November and really I'm just wondering how I'll do</p>

<p>SAT 2000
Math 690
Writing 650
CR 660</p>

<p>ACT Comp 30
English 28
Reading 28
Mathematics 29
Science 35 (yay? :3)</p>

<p>GPA
Unweighted 3.34
Weighted 3.72</p>

<p>Rank: 32 out of 113 (~28%; my school is "notorious" for dropouts, really people that can't handle the work and go back to their home school...)</p>

<p>School: Science Academy of South Texas, a rigorous magnet school focusing on Mathematics, Sciences and Engineering</p>

<p>EC: Astronomy club (freshman), UIL Science (9,10,12) UIL Number Sense (9,10), Volunteer RGV Food Bank (freshmam), Relay for Life (fundraiser for cancer researcher and treatment, 7th-12th grade) Tutor in math and physics (9th-12th; also took a job as a tutor beginning this summer)</p>

<p>Achievements: National Hispanic Scholar; AP Scholar with Distinction</p>

<p>I've taken as many AP's as I could; the ones where I can't take AP, I take Pre-AP
Sophomore: 1 AP (Spanish Language, 5)
Junior: 5 AP (English Language 4, Physics B 5, Calculus AB 4, Spanish Literature 4, U.S. History 2)
Senior: Taking 8 Ap (English Literature, Physics C Mechanics, Physics C E&M, Chemistry, Psychology, Calculus BC, Macroeconomics, U.S. Government)</p>

<p>Wrote essays A and B, pretty well if I say so myself and my English Literature teacher agrees :)
Letters of Recommendation from mentioned English teacher and from my AP Physics teacher of 2 years</p>

<p>My school is partnered with Project Lead the Way, and I've taken engineering classes the whole of my high school, with consistent A's</p>

<p>My first choice is Civil Engineering
My second is Physics</p>

<p>So...what do you guys think? Thanks for answering :)</p>

<p>Bump, I’m In-state btw</p>

<p>test scores, rank, and GPA are a little bit lower than their top candidates. But if you have a rigorous course work and good essays, that could help a lot!</p>

<p>You have to realize UT is a school that uses test scores and GPA to quickly weed people out, even if they have a lot of impressive background information. </p>

<p>But your stuff is impressive! I’m sure you’ll find out soon :slight_smile: good luck!</p>

<p>You’ll probably get into the CNS for physics.</p>

<p>A 2000 SAT and 30 ACT is roughly average for engineering (maybe a little low), but your class rank is worrisome. I think you’ll be fine though!</p>

<p>Thanks for those who answered (:
Although I’d like a few more opinions if I could :s
(Secret bump)</p>

<p>Hey! I’m from the valley too and I’m also going into engineering. Did you get in?</p>
