Hello, I am an upcoming senior and I was wondering if I have a chance at an engineering major.

My stats:
Asian
5.3 (W) 4.9 (UW)
Haven’t taken an ACT
1250 SAT score, going to bring that up in August (hopefully)
No subject tests
Ranked 25/590 so I’m definitely in the 6%
Have taken AP classes my whole high school career (all are 4’s except for one 3 in English)

My Extra-Curriculars:
4 years of football
Involved in Track and Field
Vice President of Chess Club
Student Council officer
NHS for two years
President of Anime Club
I take piano lessons
Very involved at my church (Praise team and mission trips)
At least 100 hours of community service (probably more)

Since you are in the top 6%, you will definitely be admitted to UT. I do not think a 1250 SAT score will get you admitted to Cockrell. I would shoot for a 1400+ with the math being as high as you can get it. Good luck in August.

^^ I agree. Also take the ACT if you get a chance, I know some people are better at taking it than the SAT and you won’t know until you take it.
