<p>Please tell me my chances for UT and if there is anything I can do to improve them.</p>

<p>I was wondering if I could apply early with my Current sat score and send in the October one later? Or if I should wait until I get the October score?</p>

<p>Great chance but that rank hurts you. Try applying for a second major thats not as competitive like liberal arts then internal transfer. I want you to get into it. If you can raise it to 2100+ then you are golden</p>

<p>Being asian also hurts you as well</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback. The rank thing is annoying cause I would have been top ten percent at the other 5 schools in our district. Are internal transfers hard to make it work?</p>

<p>Internal is hard but not as hard as direct admission.
For engineering 3.8+ would be great to get in</p>
