My chances at UT Austin?

<p>I am currently a junior in New Hampshire. My class rank is top 5%. My unweighted GPA is 3.88 and my weighted GPA is about 4.5. I have taken 7 honors/AP courses in my school, a school that doesn't offer many honors/AP courses. My transcript shows a positive correlation in my grades each year. I love to volunteer at places. I have over 200+ hours of volunteering, in the U.S. (Soup Kitchen and Hospitals) and abroad (Asia). I also work at a fast food restaurant as a cashier. For extracurriculars, I have done 5 of them that includes National Honor Society. In one of the clubs, I hold one of the leading position. For awards and such, I haven't gotten many of them. I have several scholar of the month award that is given out in my school, and also couple principal's awards given out in my school. I am also a New Hampshire Scholar. I am a very self motivated person. I just took the SAT and according to my practice tests, my score usually ends up like this: Math:>720 CR: between 640 and 680 Writing: Over 700. I want to major in Biology at the College of Natural Science in UT Austin. I really want to go to that school. What are my chances that I will get in? even if I apply early...</p>

<p>You have good stats, so I would say yes, but it’s difficult to tell. UT is required by the state to accept all Texas public high school students in the top 10% of their graduating class. So the number of non-Texas kids fluctuates year by year. And as college admissions keep getting tougher, more Texas kids will probably be enrolling, meaning your chances will go down. <– this is just a disclaimer. I don’t think you should be worried, personally. Your app looks great. Just thought I should warn you.</p>

<p>Pyroqueen is correct but I believe that the top 10% rule is only followed until they have allotted 80% of their slots. The other 20% is a selective process. Your stats look good and I’m pretty sure you would make it in but its difficult to tell. Good luck, I am also an aspiring Longhorn.</p>

<p>They specifically have out of state and out of country seats to collect the higher tuition.</p>
