<p>is it UNC/UVA level? I see that only like ~8% are from out of state.</p>
<p>I work with the admissions office as part of the student government OOS student affairs agency, and we get this question a lot. What we generally tell people is that it’s not necessarily “difficult” to get in, but you definitely can’t slack off in high school or anything like that. I don’t know too much about UNC or UVA, so I can’t compare, but my personal opinion is that UT is on the same level as schools like USC, Carnegie Mellon, and UCLA. I don’t know the exact OOS acceptance rate, but I know that it has been decreasing in recent years, and I’d guess that it’s somewhere around 30% now.</p>
<p>so a 3.87 UW w/ 7 APs and an SAT of around 2050 stands a good chance?</p>
<p>You’re definitely not out… but I also wouldn’t say that you’re definitely in. It’s worth a shot! UT reviews OOS applications holistically, so stats are just one part of the picture.</p>
<p>I got in with </p>
<p>4.1 Weighted
All IB classes (coursework is more difficult than AP)
1960 SAT
and some ECs like Tennis Team Captain, Ton of Volunteering, etc</p>
<p>However, I did have alot of stuff that made me stand out from the typical student, so make sure you have alot of those, or you won’t necessarily get in. It’s a pretty hard school to get OOS from, probably on the same level as UVA/UNC.</p>
