<p>My friend is applying to Natural Sciences at UT Austin and was wondering what his chances are so I wanted to help him out. Here are his stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 97.988
Rank: 58/526, Top 11%
SAT: 2030, M-660 CR-640 W-730
All Pre-AP and AP classes
AP Classes: 7 Total, made a 5 on AP Chem
~50-70 hours of community service; various places
Marching and concert band freshman and sophomore years
NHS junior and senior years
Recommendation Letters from AP Chemistry teacher</p>
<p>What are his chances for Chemistry in Natural Sciences or undecided? Would having a 5 on the AP Chemistry test help with acceptance?</p>
<p>Okay, I’ll bite. Haven’t you posted this before?</p>
<p>Top 11% is the best thing this applicant has going for him/her. SAT math is a tad light for sciences. ECs are weak–nothing junior and senior years (NHS is nothing more than a reflection of grades/rank). Community service is insufficient to make an impression. I think for Chem/Coll of Natural Sci, chances are fair. For second choice undeclared, better. </p>
<p>Has your friend met the calculus requirement?</p>
<p>AP test scores are not considered for admission purposes. </p>
