<p>Well, it was not until my final years in high school that i decided to become a physicist. At first i didn't really bother learning mathematics, i thought it was only used for money purposes ( something that i don't have much of). After taking a high school physics class and learning that mathematics is more than just money, and that it can explain the world around us, I got very interested in it. However it was too late. I waited until the final months of my 12 grade year to take one SAT test. When i took the SAT and did poorly on it (1340) and only had a meager 3.33 GPA, i knew that i could not get into UT Austin or any university and get a scholarship. So i went to a community college and spent 2 years (unavoidable) taking core classes, and extra classes i found fun (biology and organic chemistry) while climbing my self out from a low point in math to finally be in Calc 2 this semester. Right now i have around a 3.5 GPA and this third year i decided not to play around and procrastinate as much as i did the two years before. So my GPA should go up a bit.</p>
<p>So my question is how likely will it be for me to be accepted into UT Austin and get a scholarship? As it stands I do get some financial aid which could probably pay for the classes but not the dorm. If i don't get a scholarship is there some way i can work for the school and have them cover room and board? Also will they care more about my SAT scores or my college GPA?</p>
<p>lol yeah I know, I forgot the "h" in scholarship -_-</p>
