<p>Truthfully, i think you’re definitely in for UT Austin and probably also in for USC and Georgia Tech! Your stats are really good; GPA is really high, SAT I scores really high, and SAT II scores also pretty awesome! 
If you’ve got a great essay that would make your chances even better!</p>
<p>Should I…? Oh, what the hell. Bump</p>
<p>Man I think that ur CR score has killed u. I think u can take it once more in Jan.
Columbia-reach
-Cornell-low reach
-Georgia Tech-in
-University of Texas- Austin-in
-University of Southern California-match</p>
<p>Yeah, I know. I’ve always hated CR, but I said somewhere on the last page why I didn’t feel like taking the Jan SAT and letting chance take me from here.</p>
<p>does texas use SAT IIs for considering admission? and btw you’re most likely in…i would really like to know the stats of the 6% OOSers they accept.</p>
<p>I do know that Cockrell (Engineering) requires a Math SAT II, but I think that might be the only SAT II that UT requires.</p>
<p>wow i just checked the common data set…and with the 5% out of state admittance rate…they admit around 600-800 out of state students…i wonder how many apply?..</p>
<p>ok found the stats for OOSer…in '07 they had 4,321 OOS applications…they admitted 1,479 (34% of those who applied)…their average SAT score was 1280 (combined verbal and math). You are in great shape with your score…good luck mate…</p>
<p>-Columbia - high reach (same for everybody since it’s an ivy)
-Cornell - reach
-Georgia Tech - match
-University of Texas- Austin - don’t know much but i would guess high match
-University of Southern California - low reach</p>
<p>Not to insinuate anything negative…but as an applicant from a minority group, you have a much better shot at all of these schools then a caucasian or an asian would (haha, somehow asians aren’t minorities anymore…)</p>
<p>I don’t think you need to beat yourself up about your SAT scores. Your GPA is really up there and your E/Cs are very telling of you as a person, which is a plus :)</p>
<p>Columbia - somewhat high reach
-Cornell - somewhat high reach
-Georgia Tech - good match; very likely in
-University of Texas- Austin - in
-University of Southern California - good match; very likely in</p>
<p>Though the fact the you’re Hispanic and female will tremendously help your chances for your reaches since your intended area of study in chem. engineering.</p>
<p>I think you have a better chance than not at getting into at least one of your reaches.</p>
<p>edit: I misread that you were female, lol…but that fact that you’re Hispanic will still help just the same – but not the female part, obviously.</p>
<p>When I first read female I was like “W T F!?” but then I read the edit. You are forgiven, lol. </p>
<p>Post a link and I’ll chance back! Although I don’t know if I’ll be as prolific as I usually am because I am going out of town, even though I’m already out of town, what would you call that then, a vacation from your vacation??? I love it when I go off on random tangents.</p>
<p>I swear, this will the last time that I bump this thread, over 2000 views and 70 replies, not taking out mine, is pretty impressive. Thanks to everyone who chanced me, and if I didn’t return the favor then let me know! I’ll get to it.</p>
<p>-Columbia - higher reach
-Cornell - reach
-Georgia Tech - match
-University of Texas- Austin - high match
-University of Southern California - high match</p>
<p>Ivies are reaches for most people. U of T will be difficult because you’re in Florida. USC I would have said match, but I feel like they are getting more and more selective.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>your hispanic heritage should prove to be a huge benefit. examine your sat scores in comparison to other like groups. that should give you a different view of your scores. i think you have a solid shot at cornell, you simply have to nail your essay. </p>
<p>GT-in
USC-likely…a good place for hispanic students
Columbia-less likely
UT-Austin-more than likely</p>
<p>Shud be in at all felt columbia is a reach n cornell is prob low reach</p>
<p>URM ftw. You’ll get into great schools, don’t worry :).</p>
<p>ur sat’s are still in the high percentiles for hispanics, im the same way for blacks, this will help some </p>
<p>the only thing to hold u back is lack of leadership positions and unique extracurric’s</p>
<p>good luck!!</p>
<p>Oh so you go to Berkley or Tampa Prep.</p>
<p>well, it seems as if you have a good CHANCE…but i cant be too sure. You may/may not get in…it’s too close to tell for me personally.</p>
