<p>Congrats to everyone who made into McCombs! I am currently a HS Junior right now and will likely apply to UT Austin the fall with goal of getting into McCombs.</p>
<p>My current Stats:
Rank:44/493
SAT-1970 First Try
Courses- All AP/Pre AP when possible
GPA-3.75/4.8
EC-75 hours volunteering at Baylor (will add 100 more this summer), 1 year student council, 1 year NHS, run a small business on amazon (make about $10,000 in revenue)</p>
<p>So would you say I have a good shot in getting into McCombs? To all the people who got into McCombs, were your stats similar to mine at all? What should I improve?
Thanks!</p>
<p>I just got into McCombs out of state and here are my stats:
Unranked school, estimated top 5%.
SAT: 2210 (780M, 720CR, 710W)
Courses: My school has very limited AP classes but I’ve taken the highest courses available.
GPA: 3.92/4.42
EC: 150+ service hours at various places, 12 years classical piano w/ lots of accompanying experience, spent all years of high school in choir, Mu Alpha Theta, Key Club.
I also had my AP Gov and AP Calc teachers write recommendations for me and I think that helped a bit.
I suggest you study study study for the SAT because that’s probably the main reason I was considered :). I got about the same score as you the first time I took it. Then I took about 10 practice tests in a 3 week period and that certainly helped my score a lot.
Good luck!</p>
