<p>I'm watching Heroes on TV. They may be able to stop bullets, read minds and fly- but YOU- are MY HERO! Your superpower? You cracked the top 10% wall.
Be the best damn engineer in the world. Congratulations.</p>

<p>Congrats :]</p>

5

<p>This encourages me, our stats are pretty close.</p>

6

<p>Yeah I did AP Calc AB- 3. My gpa is 4.32 for anyone who wants to compare or anything</p>

<p>Thanks for all the congrats. I just went nuts at the gym.. this dude tried to spot me, and I told him to go away because he was slowing me down. Nothing could give me this much adrenaline ever again.. I feel like I'm on feel good crack.</p>

7

<p>Congratulations!</p>

<p>Now my OCD is out of control. I've logged into Status Check like 50 times since I read your post. No pill until the morning.</p>

9

<p>congratulations! some of my friends will be happy to hear this.</p>

<p>Major Congratulations!! Now, the waiting begins for those not in top 10%. I know that many of my son's friends are in that boat, don't know their stats, but I doubt they are as stellar as yours. Anyway, they will be happy to hear that they are starting to admit outside of the top 10%. </p>

<p>Obviously the class isn't full of only 10%ers I hope there's still alot of room left! :)</p>

11

<p>Congratulations, that is pretty amazing.</p>

12

<p>When did you apply? and How long have you waited?</p>

13

<p>Applied on December 29th.. and I might have been accepted like a week ago, but that was the first time I have checked in nearly a month. </p>

<p>I have friends who applied way before, and still nothing. So I doubt it has anything to do with application submission time.</p>

14

<p>I also got in last year and I wasn't in the top 10% and heard back fairly quickly.. I was top 11% though, but not sure if that even matters.</p>

15

<p>This should give you all even more hope. My kid had 1050 reading + math - top 20% of class. Amazing essays, EC's and recommendations tho.. Got into a non-science/non-business major. We were shocked and amazed...It was just posted on their admissions site yesterday.</p>

16

<p>Congrats luckytxmom!! I will pass that on to my son, he has a number of friends who are all anxiously waiting!!</p>

17

<p>Wow 1050... he must of have had some amazing ECs.. thats almost unheard of.</p>

18

<p>wow, luckytxmom tell your son he is my hero lol. That gives me a lot of hope. Thanks for posting that haha.</p>

19

<p>I know it's pretty suprising... I started to search UT's site to figure out how it happened! I came across this article on how UT plots an Academic Achievement index against a Personal Achievement Index (which includes scores on the two essays) to determine admissions. I am really suprised that a school of 50,000 students can take this kind of time and care with each application. It certainly raised my estimation of the school to find this out. check it out:

<p>^ Yeah I found that too a couple of months ago. Very interesting.</p>

<p>EVEN MORE GOOD NEWS FOR HOPEFULS! A friend of mine today just got in. She is top 30% and she only had 2 ECS - one was dance team the other was NHS.</p>

<p>UT seems to be more random than ever in admissions. This is starting to drive me nuts!</p>
