<p>Hey Everyone, this is my first time on College Confidential and I just wanted to say hi :).</p>

<p>Also, UT is my first choice school, but unfortunately I'm not in Top 10%</p>

<p>At time of application these were my stats:
SAT: Math=680 Cr=680 W=700 (Total of 2060)
Class Rank: 94/613 (15.33%) Its a pretty prestigious and difficult High School
Extra Curricular: 4 years of Track, NHS, Spanish Club, ICS, Chess Club, Ultimate Frisbee
All AP/GT classes
I worked throughout my entire Junior and Senior Year
1st Choice: Business
2nd choice: Liberal Arts
I'm Half Burmese Half Pakistani, but I put Asian/Pacific Islander on my Application
What do you think my chances are?</p>

<p>Won't get into business.
You'll probably get into Liberal Arts.
Should get at least Summer Programmed if not.</p>

<p>As noted in the "Summer Freshmen" thread started by flatxca, no Summer Freshman Class this year (summer 2009). <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-texas-austin/663650-summer-freshmen.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-texas-austin/663650-summer-freshmen.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Probably won't get business, but you'll get into the school.</p>

<p>I also wanted to mention that I am a Texas resident and live in Katy. </p>

<p>I'm worried becasue I haven't heard back yet, and I saw on the news that UT has accepted record number of students already this year due to the TOP 10% rule, and has also received a record number of Freshman applications this year.</p>

6

<p>What school? Cinco?</p>

<p>James E. Taylor actually :)</p>

<p>For a second I thought you were going to say Mayde Creek or something. I guess there is some truth behind your "prestigious" comment. :)</p>

<p>I dunno about McCombs because its probley already full with the already admitted freshman. Liberal arts is probley going to be a definate yes. When I visited the campus, the tour guide told me that the kids who didnt get into engineering or business almost always got offer admission to the liberal arts program. good luck.</p>

9

<p>Are there any other seniors out there that have gotten admission and are not in the top 10%</p>

10

<p>Probably in, but not McCombs.</p>

11

<p>OMG! The wait is killing me! I hold my breath every time I check the website (Which is like 10 times a day)</p>

12

<p>I was accepted: not 10%, but also not a traditional major (Fine Arts.) Still, I had respectable academics and test scores.</p>

<p>According to what I've read decisions should be arriving in the next week or so.</p>

<p>congratulations cejaducegu!</p>

<p>Thank you kindly MidwestMom.</p>

<p>I visited UT yesterday, and the admissions person told us decisions should probably come out by the end of the week.</p>
