Humble guy asking for a chance me...

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hey guys, I’m gonna be a highschool junior after summer and I’ve been stressing out a bit. I’m not american and not a resident yet (this has made me sometimes forget school and my grades to go down a bit)… I’m just asking for a chance me because well it’s summer and I’m stressing over it. I just please ask that people be nice since I’m not here to brag or compete with anyone, I only care about my improvement and if others are smarter than be that’s okay :slight_smile: I’m glad you get high grades, just please try to be nice.

If anyone could chance me for UT Austin, Texas A&M College Station, University of Houston, Rice University, UT Dallas, Sam Houston State University I’d greatly appreciate it. My dream one is UT Austin and I know I don’t have automatic admission but I’ll always hope.

Stats:

Weighted GPA : 4.23 (Last year it was 4.22 but I got a D in Algebra 2 Honors which messed me up and I still am mad at myself over it, I guess I just got a bit sad that I’m not really social and I get jealous over others who have lots of fun, and have a girlfriend hehe.
Unweighted GPA: 3.67 (Went down from 3.8).
Clubs:
Model UN (Won an acknowledgement at a big city-wide 2-day event).
Health Occupations Students of America
Now National Honor Society
Now Spanish Honor Society as Secretary
Student Council (Historian and then Secretary sophomore year)
Key Club
National Art Honor Society

Race: White but I’m also Brazilian so I might be considered Latino by admissions, I’m not sure though!

Income: 100k +

1st generation immigrant and can speak 3 languages fluently.

Have gone above and beyond highschool graduation requirements by taking AP and honors classes and extra classes (not required) in fine arts.

Thank you guys for reading this and any help and honest chance will be greatly appreciated. Good luck to everyone! :slight_smile:

I’ll have taken 10-13 AP classes by the time I graduate. And I’m top 30% I think due to a highly competitive public school. And I wanna major in biochemistry, chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, or psychology with a preference to biochemistry!

Do you have any test scores yet… PSAT? SAT?

Are you at a public high school?
How much math have you completed so far? Have you taken math, science, English, foreign language, and social studies every year so far?
and finally - do you know your class rank? Or at least, if you are in the top 5% or top 10%?

Yes public highshool. Top 25-30% maybe higher. I’ve taken 4 years of foreign language already (advanced was able to take a year in a semester). one year ahead in math. 1280 on PSAT. took ap world history. 2 years of fine arts (one extra).

Hopefully someone who knows the TX system better will chime in. Your stats look good at least for U of Houston and Sam Houston State. I don’t know about the more competitive ones. 1280 on PSAT in 10th grade is 97th percentile so that’s quite good. Maybe do a little studying ahead of the October PSAT and your SAT/ACT and I think you’ll do quite well test-wise.
