UT Austin Chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Could anyone give me some insight into whether I have a chance of getting into UT Austin, especially McCombs or the CNS? Here's some info:
Rank around 9-10% (no top 8% auto admission for me...)
2200 SAT
Commended PSAT
5's on about 6-7 AP's as of junior year (AP scholar award)
Nat. Honor Society
Spanish Honor Society
Bronze medal on 2 National Spanish exams
700-750 range on 3 Subject Tests
Sport for 4 years
About 150 hours of volunteering mostly at a hospital
Worked a summer at a physician's office</p>

<p>As I understand it, rank plays an enormous role even in holistic admissions. If I have pretty good essays, could I probably get into UT?
Thanks!!</p>

<p>anyone…?</p>

<p>I think you’ll get in.</p>

<p>Bumpppppppp</p>

<p>…</p>

6

<p>you’ll probably get in, but I have no idea about how competitive mccombs is</p>

7

<p>pretty good chances, but also a chance of CAP</p>

<p>Those stats are competitive for McCombs. CAP could be a possibility, but UT also holds spots for others (I know several people from my private high school that were not top 10% and got in).</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m pretty sure they auto-admit enough people to fill 75% of seats. So if you’re not in the top 8%, UT will be fairly competitive, especially for McCombs, but it shouldn’t be too difficult.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone. How much would something like raising the SAT to 2350 range help? can’t think of anything else to improve on, except class rank (which is too late to do anything about).
And I really don’t want to CAP btw…</p>

<p>It would help a lot, as UT mainly looks at rank and SAT. Try taking the ACT, too. Many people find it easier. And apply as soon as possible.</p>

12

<p>Does applying early really help much? I’ve heard people for and against that idea. I’ll likely send it in mid/late October (opens August 1, deadline December 1).</p>

13

<p>For you it would be beneficial to apply early. They do rolling admissions, so they’d be more likely to just accept you right away.</p>

14

<p>Can anyone who’s gotten into UT and wasn’t an auto admit provide some insight into how they got in and if I might get in?</p>

<p>And what if my rank fell to something like 11-12% ? Would I still get in based on my other stuff?</p>
