<p>Good ACT scores and EC’s. UT doesn’t care about your GPA; they care only about your rank. They will try to rank you with the info. your school gives.
I’d say you’re in. Summer program`ed at least.</p>

<p>I truly hope you make the summer program at least because I’m in a similar situation. Have you sent in your APP yet?</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback. What exactly is the summer program? Different from the UTSA cap right?</p>

<p>yeah. Summer program is you get admitted to UT-Austin, but instead of starting in the fall you have to take courses during the summer at UT-Austin. Than if you met a certain standard, grade-wise, you continue in the fall at UT-A</p>
