UT Austin - Chance Me!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi. I really want to get into UT Austin. Just got my class rank after first semester of junior year and not in the top 7% so automatic admission is not likely for me. Let's get to it.</p>

<p>Class Rank: 52 out of 598 (top 9%)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9 out of 4.0 (4.5 out of 4.5 weighted)</p>

<p>SAT 1:
Reading: 690
Math: 770
Writing: 740</p>

<p>2200 of 2400
1460 of 1600</p>

<p>PSAT: 225
**Obviously hoping to make national merit, but won't know for sure for a while.</p>

<p>APs:
Human Geo: 5
World Hist: 5
Computer Sci: 4
Spanish Lang: Not yet
US History: Not yet
English Lang: Not yet</p>

<p>Extracurricular</p>

<p>President of Model UN
President of BPA and national finalist in competition
Captain of Software Engineering Team
Band; 4 years, 3 years as first chair
Piano; 1st in some contests</p>

<p>Honor Societies (NHS, NSHS, NMHS, NAHS, NEHS)</p>

<p>Independent Study Mentorship:
2 years of independent study in computer science
1 semester independent study in russian piano music
1 semester independent study in labor relations/unionization</p>

<p>The reason I'm really unsure is because I've heard it's really hard for those who aren't automatic admission (top 7% for High School class of 2014). Thinking about retaking SAT 1. Thanks for chancing me!</p>

<p>You got as good as shot as any at UT. Take the SAT again and shoot for 2250, which I think will put your in the rarefied air of 1%. Also take a flyer at an Ivy league school. Mainly because the need based aid is so much better. (assuming you need it and who doesn’t). I mention this because with your musicality you EC’s popped. Ivy’s love the artsy thing.</p>
