Hi y’all! I’ll be applying to A&M COMPUTER SCIENCE and UT COMPUTER SCIENCE this year as an international student (though I’ve stayed in Texas for 3 years which qualifies me for in-state tuition).

Thank you very much!

That means you apply as a domestic, not international student (as long as you have a qualifying visa).

Unless you get your SAT up by 100 points, I would say it is highly unlikely for you to get into UT (because they really emphasize class rank).

I would say that you have decent chances for A&M (what is your math subscore?).

Computer science at both schools are highly sought after at both schools. Your rank is going to kill your chances at both schools in my opinion. Chances are you will be offered the CAP program at UT. You will likely be offered Blinn Team at A&M. Best of luck to you.

I got 760 on Math, 670 on English, and I’ll be taking the October Sat too so hopefully the scores go up by 50 at least.
