<p>Hello!
I'm a junior in high school right now.
I really really want to get into University of Texas at Austin and two days ago I got a transcript from my high school.
I'm little stressed out right now because I am not in top 7% right now
so it won't be an automatic admission unless I incredibly do well on my second semester. (T.T)
And is it true that high school class of 2015 might not have a CAP system for UT Austin?
My extracurricular activities beside Student Council might be little weak.</p>

<p>Anyway,
- I go to very competitive public school in Texas.
- I'm in top 7.7% (urgghhh -_-;;).
- I got 2080 on my SAT (CR: 560, M: 740, W: 780, E: 10/12) and I took another one this January which I did not get my
score yet (hopefully I did better :D)
- I do not think I want to take ACT. ;(
- I am planning to take SAT subject tests.
- I took a lot of AP classes and Pre-AP (Honor) classes I can possibly take.
- I'm in 4 clubs including National Honor Society.
- I was a Secretary of Student Council last year.
- Now I'm a President of Student Council!
- I went to Band Solo and Ensemble and got several awards.
- I went to Japanese Speech Contest and won an award.
- I know I can get letters of recommendation from my teachers.
- Major I want to choose is either Biology or Engineering. Or I might just do an Undeclared if this is "easier" to get in :)
- I am definitely going to have a part-time job over this summer.
---> this is all I can think of.. </p>

<p>And also I think I can write pretty good essays</p>

<p>This is my Senior prospective schedule (I think I'm going pretty tough..)
- AP Lit.
- AP Calculus BC
- AP Physics 2 & 3
- AP Japanese
- AP Gov and Eco (a semester each)
- AP Environmental Science
- Study hall (maybe)</p>

<p>Please chance me!</p>

<p>I’d say you have a very good chance, even if you dont get the automatic admit. Your ECs are very good aswell as your GPA and test scores. </p>

I would say your ECs and academics are right in range. Work on your essays and I believe you have a decent shot.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I’d be surprised if they didn’t accept you, just make sure your essays and recs turn out to be good. :)</p>

<p>You are qualified. ECs are thorough but not unique, although this is pretty minor for UT. Just some advice, DO NOT write your essays about any of your ECs. </p>

12

<p>You’re easily getting in. I would suggest finding a “reach” school as well. That would give you the opportunity of going to an even better school. Find a great school that matches your interests. Good luck!</p>

<p>You’re very close to top 7% so it should be fine - even if you’re not an automatic admit, you’d be an academic admit. If your 2nd semester puts you into the 7%, don’t wait and apply this summer as soon as the application opens on ApplyTX - you can apply on the basis of junior (Summer) OR senior (Fall) ranking.
However, you need more schools - 2 safeties, a couple matches, and as many reaches as you wish (i suggest Rice, Wash U…)
If you’re not sure about Engineering, don’t choose that as a major because it’s much harder to get into the college of engineering. If you like STEM subjects, choose CS or math rather than Biology, since there’s a glut of bio majors right now and they’re finding it hard to find a job.</p>
