<p>hey cruiser what's up! :) haha :) it's me KJ from NYU forum...well, yup i think we are looking at some similar schools :)</p>

<p>good luck man, seriously, :) </p>

<p>by the way, crusier, what are my chances HERE? lol</p>

4

<p>Woah, kj, nice to see you</p>

<p>I'd say you could get into UT pretty easily, just tell them you're from Bergen County and they'll give you a full ride.</p>

<p>Maybe I'll see you here, if its not at NYU</p>

<p>lol a bit of sarcasm there? lolol yea i will get a rejection letter if i say that i am from Bergen County...they will be like "uh...you don't really need an education" lol </p>

<p>anyway, how are you doing? </p>

<p>I heard that this school's accounting department is awesome...so... :)</p>

6

<p>will the fact that my high school doesn't rank hurt me?</p>

7

<p>I'm starting to get worried about my chances.</p>

<p>Any other thoughts on my chances?UT is my #1 school right now.</p>

<p>If you didn't know: UT fills 75% of the spots in the business school with Texas students in the top ten percent of their class. First go the one percenters, then the 2%ers, etc. They usually work down to the top 3% to fill those spots. The remaining 25% of spots in business school are left up for grabs: in staters and out of staters have an equal shot. I visited UT on Friday and an admissions counselor said UT doesn't look at GPA, just rank, but this may only pertain to Texas students because of the 10% law. I think you can get in to UT, but odds are most likely against you for the business school.</p>

<p>Yea, thats what I was beginning to think. I'd be happy with my second choice Liberal Arts School, but it would be wonderful if I could get into McCombs.</p>

10

<p>cruiser749 did u get into the mccombs business school already? you should dude, becuase i just got in and my stats are not as nearly as good as yours.</p>

<p>my sat was 1300
my rank was good: 1/154
GPA 3.909
sat II: writing 620, math iic 600, spanish 800
and a bunch of EC
and im from peru</p>

<p>you definitely have strong chances of getting in</p>

11

<p>But you're valedictorian and if English is your second language, that could put less emphasis on the SAT score.</p>

<p>CONGRATS! And I'll see ya at McCombs next year :)</p>

12

<p>I got flat out rejected from UT Austin. :(</p>

<p>Congrats on your acceptance charliecb16</p>

13

<p>i got into Northwestern!!!! holy ****! i cant believe it... now i dunno where to go!!? UT or northwestern? anybody have any recommendations??</p>

14

<p>Well Charlie, I'm gonna give you the best advice you've heard in a while. </p>

<p>If it's heat that you like, then UT is where you should go.
But Northwestern's for you, if you like sleet and snow.</p>

<p>I hope this helps. :D</p>
