UT admissions - what a b*t**

<p>I really don't mean to be bitter, especially since I had no intention of actually going to Austin in the first place (they don't have my major) but I find this a bit funny: I was accepted to USC, ::Northwestern:: and UW Madison but got rejected by UT. Never knew it was so competitive. Heh. Go figure. </p>

<p>Oh, and applied as a resident but didn't go to HS in Texas. Ranked 10/194. 1400 SATs, 800/800/740 SAT IIs, 3.7 UW GPA.</p>

<p>i got rejected in UT and accepted to UMich, BU, Colby.. though my SAT wasnt great . i got 1360. I have an excellent academic record and great extracurriculars and I thought my UT essays werent so bad either</p>

<p>which schools did you apply to? business and engineering are hard from what i understand</p>

<p>UT is flooded with top 10% students from Texas cause everyone wants to go there. So therefore if you are not top 10% or not in state then it sucks for you. (Uber competitive).</p>

<p>I applied to Communications, but my second choice was the liberal arts school.</p>

<p>I got in with a 1300...</p>

<p>It's ****ed up. I got rejected with a 1370.</p>

<p>Umm, I don't think UT places that much value into SAT's. Not from what I've seen so far.</p>

<p>I only made a 1370 on the SAT, 790 on IIC, 630 (gasp) on Writing, and 680 on Chem. 12/200 3.9 UW. Also, I'm asian and an international (out-of-state). I still got in... I think it's my essay that got me in... (btw, my essay won a regional gold key in Scholastic Arts and Writing competition). So... yea... </p>

<p>i got into the business school at the university of austin with a 1300 sat. and i am an international student.. is it that hard to get in? becuase its overall rank is about 46th...</p>

<p>no.. it's overall rank is 15th!</p>

<p>no BMod.. acording to us news UT is ranked 46....where did u find that 15th rank?...</p>

<p>business is 15, overall undergraduate rank is 46...at least i think..</p>

<p>Actually, business is ranked 6th. Overall undergraduate is 46th.</p>

<p>I don't base the ranks on US news.... That's only in the US perspective and works only in the US. As an international, I like to see the global rank of Universities.</p>

<p>This is from London Times world ranking of Universities around the globe.</p>

<p>I think that ranking is pretty accurate, but i could be a little biased ;) Texas at 15 :D</p>

<p>yeah, your screen name pretty much gives it away. I tend to agree, though. UT is awesome.</p>

<p>hi my sister applied to A&M when do they sent out their decisions for acceptance, i'm a freshman by the way.</p>

<p>oops! my question is...she also applied to UT</p>

<p>lol. UT is april 1. I believe A&M is rolling.</p>
