<p>Judging by what other people have said about my essays, I would say they are very good but nothing brilliant or extraordinary. </p>
<p>I am planning to major in either Mathematics or Economics. </p>
<p>What are the odds of me getting in? I would love it if you would be totally honest, looking at all I have. That would be great, thanks! :D</p>
<p>Nobody can really predict if you will be accepted. I heard they do follow some model and it’s based on class rank, SAT (or ACT) scores and assigned scores on your essays, among other things. I think you’ll have a much better chance if you can raise your SAT scores, the higher the better. Also, write the optional essay and send them a resume if you have one. Good luck!</p>
<p>oh ok cuz i have always been taking k-level(same as honors) and ap level for the core courses(math, science, english, social studies) ALL throughout high school and never dropped to on-level in any of those courses. thanx for the input guys. i appreciate it.</p>
<p>i thought ut accepts students who are in the top 10% of their hs so you would get accepted. also, my hs doesn’t rank and ut says they need a rank. how would that work out? do i just call them and tell them that?</p>
<p>As in the fact that your school does not have class rank, call the admissions office at ut to know what’s going to happen in that situation. I heard that they will probably look at the gpa on your transcript and convert it to a rank or something of that sort.</p>
<p>Copperfield, I agree with the others, it’s hard to predict anyone’s chances outside the top 8%. You have worked hard and earned some good stats–congrats. The point about your SAT being a tad light is valid. If you’re serious about improving your chances, you could re-test in Dec., wait for the results (instead of blindly sending a free order), and if better, send them in. If you don’t feel up to doing the entire test again, but are serious about math, you could consider taking the SAT math 2 subject test. The curve is generous–88-89% of takers make a perfect 800. A strong math 2 score would be a terrific supplement to submit. </p>
<p>pianoiscool, every school you apply to is going to have to deal with your non-ranked status. It is not a big deal–many high schools around the country don’t rank, and as a general rule, it’s to a student’s benefit in the college admission process. The college will estimate a rank or otherwise weigh your relative strength in the context of your HS environment based on your GPA and the grade distribution information your school supplies.</p>
<p>Please read the statement on the UT admission site about documentation required from non-ranking schools. The documents they describe are something your school needs to supply or provide to you to supply.</p>
<p>IMPORTANT: Because UT’s deadline is Dec. 1, and it is a RECEIPT deadline, not a postmark deadline, and the Thanksgiving holidays may cause mail delays, you need to go talk with your counselor right away–anything that has to be mailed vs. electronically submitted must go out before you leave for the Thanksgiving holiday! </p>
<p>dude, TXArtemis, thanx for the advice. but when i visited UT they told me that if you send sat II scores with your application they don’t even look at them because they stopped using them for consideration now. atleast that’s what they said when i asked an admissions counselor.</p>
