<p>hi, i am an international student from indonesia. i took the sat exam and got 2040 along with 740 and 760 for physics and math subject tests subsequently but i got rejected by UT Austin. while my senior who only got 1700 for his sat got accepted into the school. my senior looked at my personal statement for me and told me that it was even better than his. why is it that UT Austin rejected me? is it possible for me to be accepted into udab, UC berkeley, UMICH, or Stanford? somebody please explain to me.. am a little bit worried here.. i only applied to those 5 schools.</p>
<p>School grades count as well. How did you do in school?</p>
<p>Compare EC’s. Also, does he have a hook you don’t?</p>
<p>my grades and my senior’s are about the same…
i also have quite a bit ec activities.

joined the debate team
won an industrial comp, basketball comp, and english comp
organizer for orientation day

and some others…
i don’t really know about my senior’s ec activities though…</p>
