UT Austin Chances

<p>Hello everyone! I was simply wondering if anyone can give me any feedback on my current state and status in high school, and the probability of me getting into UT Austin. I'm currently a Junior in San Antonio, and I dream of going somewhere. Also, this is my first post on College Confidential, so sorry if I'm not following criteria of some sort! Here goes nothing:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8
Rank: 52 out of approximately 750. (I believe I'm either in the 8% or 9%)</p>

<p>Courses/classes:
Sophomore year: All Pre-AP with the exceptions of Spanish 4 AP, Statistics AP, and World History AP.
Junior year: All Pre-AP with the exceptions of English Language AP, and APUSH.
Senior year: Will be enrolled in all Pre-AP with the exceptions Calculus AB AP, English Literature AP, Biology AP, Government AP, and Macroeconomics AP.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Freshman year: Junior Varsity Swim Team, Varsity Water Polo Team, Science Fair Regional Competition, School's Journalism.
Sophomore year: Academic Decathlon Team, Spanish Honor Society.
Junior year: Academic Decathlon Team Captain, Science Fair Regional Competition, National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, and my school's Math UIL team.
Senior year (predicted): Will continue another rigorous year of Academic Decathlon, Science Fair, and possibly join my school's Writing Team. Also, will run for National Honor Society President. </p>

<p>Achievements:
Freshman year: Competed in the swimming regional competition, earned 5th place overall Chemistry devision at the Regional Science Fair competition.
Sophomore year: Around 20 different placings in multiple Academic Decathlon events, earned a spot at the regional competition, and qualified for the state competition. Earned 6th place at the state's Super Quiz Relay team event. Scored a 5 on my Spanish 4 AP exam, and a 3 on my Statistics AP exam.
Junior year: Will continue to place in many more events in Academic Decathlon, and hopefully win some awards and/or medals from Math UIL and the Science Fair competition.</p>

<p>Volunteering hours:
I've volunteered in many "small" amounts of instances. Since Freshman year, I've been volunteering to tutor all math levels except for Calculus. (Since I'm taking it Senior year. Yikes!) I've assisted in multiple Eagle Scout projects at a wildlife park out of town. I'm also lifeguard, first-aid, and CPR certified, and because of such, I've volunteered at my local community pool and at other community pools with competitive swimming meets. I've donated blood, volunteered at my local church as clean-up (though I'm not religiously affiliated whatsoever), and plan on starting up a program at my local bilingual elementary school as a volunteer tutor for children who do not understand math, reading, and writing. </p>

<p>Also, during the Summer, if I don't get accepted to the MITES, SAMS, or any other college program, I will most likely begin volunteering at a city hospital downtown. </p>

<p>SAT/ACT:
Currently, I've enrolled and signed up for the SAT test this November 3. I will be taking the SAT two more times next year during the Spring, and Fall of my Senior year. Between those dates I also plan on taking at least one ACT test, and 2 SAT subject tests. (Possible subject tests might be Spanish with Speaking, Math I/II, or Biology.) I'm not too worried over my score since Sophomore year I scored a 175 on the PSAT. (Equivalent to a 1750 on the actual SAT.) Since I'm now a Junior, I'm expecting a far greater score with a greater vocabulary, and higher levels of math now in my brain.</p>

<p>So, that's about it. If anyone reads my post up to this point, I thank you very much for taking the time to look over this. I'm currently a Junior, and have been scoring 94's and above in all my classes. Due to this, I'm sure my rank will skyrocket since most of my peers are suffering in their AP and Pre-AP classes. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated! I thank all of you, and hope you all have a wonderful day/night. :)</p>

<p>Also, if anyone would like to know any information I might have left out, I'll be sure to provide it for a more precise review upon my apparent "resume." </p>

<p>Thanks all!</p>
