<p>I'm a junior and was wondering what my chances at UT are. I'm taking the SAT June 6th, but on my psat I scored a 1550, and am expecting a 1600-1650 on my SAT. I am in AP English, with honors math and Spanish, and regular US History and Physics. My GPA is 3.3. I'm an Eagle scout, and thats about it. What do you think my chances are?</p>
<p>What is your class rank? If your top 8% in your class, they have to accept you.</p>
<p>^ its actually top 10%</p>
<p>If you aren’t in the top 10%, with a SAT score of 1650 and 3.3 its going to be a reach especially with not all classes honors.</p>
<p>Ok just thought I’d get this a little up to date. I got my SAT scores back a couple weeks ago, and got a 1790. My class rank is in the top 15%. I know its probably a reach, but do I have a slight chance of making it in for the Fall of 2010?</p>
<p>Well I just saw that governer Perry signed a bill that would only let 75% automatic acceptance or whatever (<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-texas-austin/753351-has-governor-perry-signed-bill.html?highlight=University+Texas[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-texas-austin/753351-has-governor-perry-signed-bill.html?highlight=University+Texas</a>) So do you think that increases my chances just a bit?</p>
<p>The new bill isn’t effective until next year (HS class of 2011). I just visited UT and they were extremely adamant about how difficult it is to get in if you aren’t in the top ten percent and you live in Texas. I went as part of an honors preview with a slew of brilliant students (who scored 1800-ish or higher on their PSAT) and the admissions officers were telling the students who weren’t ranked that even they would be reaches into the school.</p>
<p>What I’m trying to say is, you’re going to have to write some awesome essays.</p>
