OOS Applicant - Any chance?

<p>GPA: 3.5-3.6 unweighted, 3.6-3.65 weighted
Course load: 4 Honors Classes, 5 AP classes, 3 AP self-study tests
Rigorous college prep school</p>

<p>ACT: Currently 26 composite (weak math, high English/Reading), but I'm retaking it and shooting for 28 **at least<a href="that's%20what%20my%20practice%20tests%20reflect">/b</a> </p>

<p>Average-Good extracurriculars.
Good recommendations.</p>

<p>Roughly 150 hours of volunteering at a local homeless shelter
100 hours of service for a small town parks and recreation
50 hours with Habitat for Humanity
75 hours as a Youth Wrestling Coach
Participated in a week-long service trip to Rosebud Indian Reservation</p>

<p>Volunteered for the odd events (service days, fundraisers, etc.), but nothing too big.</p>

<p>I'm looking to get more involved in political activism though - as it's my true passion. I've worked 50 hours as the campaign manager for a small town councilwoman (only 5000 people and the candidate was a family friend), and I'm trying to get more involved in the senatorial and presidential races that are coming up.</p>

<p>From Nebraska.</p>

<p>What's your rank? That's a big factor in UT admissions. If you're not in the top 10%, your chances diminish significantly.</p>

<p>My school doesn't/refuses to report ranks - but no, I'm not in the top 10% - I'm barely in the top 25% - my school is HIGHLY competitive.</p>

<p>probably not going to happen</p>
