If UT Austin is your dream school, then of course you should apply and apply to McCombs if that’s goal. You’re young, so don’t have regrets at this age. You may or may not get in, but you shouldn’t regret not applying, ever. It’s what, $50-$70 bucks. You should be applying to 5-10 schools regardless. Make sure your second course major is more achievable than McCombs, ie something in the College of Liberal Arts (COLA). You really, really need to retake your SATs and/or take ACTs. It’s not too late. And as always, make sure you apply to some schools that you will have near certainty of getting in to, can afford and that you will go to if necessary. Good luck. You’ll do great wherever you land.
Agree with previous poster. If UT is your dream school, you should apply. When you do so, be careful what you write as your 1st and 2nd choices, McCombs is highly competitive and as international student, odds are against you. Have you explored Economics?
