My son also applied RTF and has no meaningful experience. He also submitted something on that optional portal. I am sure that the stats are most heavily weighed when making admission decisions. Other schools with similar majors require portfolios to be considered. In those cases I think the stats along with portfolio is used to make a decision. EC enhance an application but never would outweigh subpar grades for a school like UT. Its too competitive.

Ranking and scores are still two most important factors.

Doesnāt look like it yet. Weāre still waiting. Auto Admitted. 1540 SAT. 4.57 weighted GPA. Top 2% of high school. Applied to McCombs and Canfield BHP - still being considered for major. No news, and this is extremely unnerving.

Its going to be very difficult getting into UT Austin if you sent in your ACT score.

@GpPsych if you submitted your ACT, chances are slim.
