<p>I am applying to UT as my 2nd choice (I applied to Emory ED), but how difficult will it be for me to be accepted regular decision?
I also want to get into the business school (but it might be too competitive?)....
my stats:</p>
<p>3.8w gpa
1950 sat (620M) (690CR) (640W)</p>
<p>I have a few sports and a couple of clubs as EC's, but nothing spectacular. I am also taking 3 AP's this year, and took one last year as a junior.</p>
<p>I think only about 5% of matriculants are from out of state. 15% are offered admission in transfers though.</p>
<p>Your scores are probably too weak and it doesn't sound like your ECs will help much.</p>
<p>well if it helps to elaborate on my EC's:</p>
<p>Symphony Band 4 years
Marching Band 2 years
Football 3 years
Crew 1 year
Model UN 2 years, including a regional award
Three months (over three years) of a language study abroad program in Spain</p>
<p>don't know if that helps much, but only a few kids a year from my school apply, and those that got accepted in the last few years had lower gpa's and SAT's.</p>
<p>Sorry to invade on the OP's post, but I am asking the same question. </p>

<p>Excellent EC's and good essays.........any shot?</p>
<p>you will prolly get in, MCP</p>
<p>I'm from Texas and people have told me that UT has reserved like 90 percent for texas high-school students. Write a killer essay to help your admission chances.</p>
<p>since you're a musician AND an athlete, i'd say that helps a lot! Make that your emphasis when you're doing your application :)</p>
<p>yea, emphasize the fact that you were in marching band, which takes up a ****load of time.</p>
<p>Definitely, emphasize your uniqueness! UTA loves diversity. :) Be careful though for the sticker shock, since you're an out-of-state. Also, business is really hard to get into, just for regular Texans, so you might want to apply to another school and once you're in, transfer to Business. Just a thought!</p>
<p>kcirsch has no idea what they're talking about. Are you kidding me? Getting in at top 21%. You probably won't even get into UT with that rank, most likely you will be capped or you will have to do summer school. I know people who were ranked top 15% who didn't get into UT undeclared and had to do summer school. Your sats aren't spectacular, writing score isn't included, if you look the writing portion says: Satisfied.</p>
<p>1360 is pretty good for UT though. I bet it will be a summer school admit.</p>
<p>It's a 1310 -_-</p>
<p>oh wait, we are talking about different people. Well a 1360 is good, but I'm in state with a sat over a 100 points higher than that and my rank is top 15%. I doubt i will get in</p>
<p>If you write a good essay you should get in</p>
<p>If you went to a good prepatory school maybe, otherwise good luck at A&M. They factor in your class ranking a lot. mcp has a shot with that national hispanic scholar.</p>
<p>does anyone know the numbers or percent of people that have to do the summer school to get in...and the number/percent that are CAPped</p>
