<p>and i'm indian (brown lol)</p>

<p>if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.
I'm currently deciding between texas a&m and UT</p>

<p>i don’t think my app was amazing (look at the rank) but compared to the other geo applicants it was probably very good so if you’re wondering why i got my decision back so soon, I would say that’s probably why.</p>

<p>Rank in Plano is not the same as rank in general. UT knows how competitive high schools in Plano are, and I’ll bet they take that into consideration.</p>

<p>Congrats on getting in. :)</p>

<p>rehotsrock: CONGRATS!! and, how did you find out??? Website, snailmail or email??</p>

<p>Congrats! Did you apply to Rice or any of the top schools?</p>

<p>yay congrats redhotsrock!</p>

<p>Congrats! :)</p>

<p>You could have gone to MIT with those SAT stats!</p>

<p>@tmzaidan: but then redhotsrock would have had to live in Mass. Its coooolllldddd up there!</p>

<p>When did you apply?</p>

<p>So lucky! I go to Harmony Science Academy in Austin, with 3/25 rank… still haven’t heard:(. But congratz dude. I got into A&M btw redhots, same guy here from other thread.</p>

<p>hey guys, sorry for the late reply (my sleeping schedule is totally messed up from winter break :P).</p>

<p>@eaglemom: I found out on the bealonghorn.com website after I logged in, my eyes went directly to the messages and it said “Sign up for orientation!” and I was like -___- no congratulations? thanks UT… Of course to find out your official decision you go to your status check page and it will say: Congrats! You were admitted to your (1st or second) choice major! and then of course UT will get straight to nagging you about the 200 dollar deposit.</p>

<p>No email, and no snailmail yet.</p>

<p>@Xcellerator: nope, I figured I would have no chance at those schools, hell, I was happy just to get into A&M and UT lol</p>

<p>@placido240: My application was complete on the last day, in fact, UT showed my application as on time and complete on December 6th/7th! because that is when they received my SAT scores. I thought that my application would be late but I called in to make sure (because my application said on-time) and asked the guy basically told me to shut up and not tempt fate. I sent the above SAT scores from the December test because they were my best.</p>

<p>Basically, my application was probably the last one they ever received ever this year. In retrospect, it probably helped me that they received a record amount of applications and were backed up well past the deadline. That helped me slide through with the late SATs (which I genuinely sent pretty late: 1 week before the deadline without score rushing).</p>

<p>@tarchas: haha tarchas! I see you bro. I remember you on my december test scores thread and on a few other threads around here. 3/25 is great dude, there shouldn’t be any reason you don’t get in. Hopefully your school is decently competitive because apparently that will help. I really hope you get into UT, but if you don’t because of some evil admissions counselor, I’ll probably be seeing you at A&M next year :slight_smile: If you need any advice at all, please PM me, I’ve been on these boards a ridiculous amount, a lot more than my post count would imply and I know a ton about the admissions practices. BTW make sure you send in your updated transcript if you moved up in rank or GPA ASAP. I think the deadline is jan 15th. Best of luck.</p>

<p>@collegejj123, tmzaidan, spdf, and everyone. Thanks all of you for the congratulations! :D</p>

<p>what was your second major choice?</p>

<p>some random CNS major, forgot lol</p>

<p><em>click</em> not bad :stuck_out_tongue: grats man</p>

<p>thanks man</p>

<p>hopefully you get into MIT, cornell, and penn ;)</p>
