<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I'm going to apply to the school of natural sciences at UT Austin for computer science.</p>

<p>Here are my stats</p>

<p>SAT: 2210, (Math 710, CR 790, Writing 710)</p>

<p>PSAT: 209 (commended)</p>

<p>GPA: 5.338, the cutoff for top ten percent is a 5.35, and my school doesn't rank after that but I'm pretty sure its top 11 percent</p>

<p>Around a 3.75 unweighted on a 4.0 scale</p>

<p>I've taken around 15 AP classes in high school</p>

<p>I will be taking AP Comp Sci next year</p>

<p>I have a few leadership positions: captain of the chess team, vice president of the economics club, started a United As One club</p>

<p>I do some volunteering out the local religious organization (100+ hrs)</p>

<p>I did an internship over the summer at a local computer based company</p>

<p>I also live in state</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>i would say your in , but UT has some unusual selection process , in which they have declined people i know that are top 8% , so i would worry first about getting in , and hopefully you should be good on CS then</p>

<p>Ah okay…thanks for the comment. I was thinking the same thing.</p>

<p>Any other feedback?</p>

<p>Bump</p>

<p>Your stats are nearly identical to my sons except he’s top 8% (which considering is not top 7% doesn’t seem to matter much). He applied around 9/1 and we are waiting to hear back. I’ll keep you posted. Are you a junior? </p>

<p>No, I am a senior. I applied around 9/4…still waiting on UT’s response like your son. Hopefully we will both get in :)</p>

<p>Good luck! Fingers firmly crossed for you both!!</p>
