<p>General Stuff:
- I have 2 teacher and 1 counselor recommendations that I'm confident will be high quality.
- Also am confident in my essays; I'm currently having them reviewed by my English teacher.
- My ECs are a little skittish because I like to try a lot of different things; I can only hope that my engagements that only lasted a year or so do not make me seem noncommittal.
- I'm applying to the schools of Natural Sciences (for Biochem) and to Liberal Arts (for economics); 1st and 2nd choice respectively.
- I'm in love with UT and with Austin. It's absolutely my first choice. </p>

<p>So, do I got this?</p>

<p>yeah</p>

<p>/10char</p>

<p>If they don’t accept you, it’s only because they’re idiots… It’s a shame that admission to this school is mainly based on rank… :(</p>

<p>Yeah, if you don’t get in it will be an example with all that is wrong with UT’s admissions system</p>

<p>Others can tell me if I’m wrong, but I believe that if you didn’t get in right away, you would be CAPP’d. So if you don’t mind going to a different school the first year, you could still attend the second if you made decent grades.</p>
