<p>ok i want to major in biology and eventually become a doctor
i am in the top 20 to 25% so i am not guaranteed acceptance
i am an instate applicant
my sat score is 1450 (m+CR)
i participated in clubs and did other ecs
going to become an officer in red cross or my JETS clubs at my school
played varsity tennis</p>

<p>what are my chances and if it is low what can i do in order to be able to get admitted and eventually get into my bio major</p>

<p>also, if i apply to a different course in natural sciences and get in do i lose a whole year's worth of education if a transfer over to biology</p>

<p>Thanks and i appreciate all the helpful suggestions! :)</p>

<p>I read recently that nearly 90% of UT admittances came from the top 10% rule.</p>

<p>It is very tough to secure a UT-Austin acceptance without top 10%. I have seen numerous wonderful (although not top 10%) students get rejected. However, it seems to me that since UT-Austin is a state school, it weighs test scores a lot when deciding which non-top ten percent students to admit. Your scores are strong, but what is your writing score?</p>
