<p>I'm thinking of applying to UT Austin in senior year and I'm currently a rising junior.
Additionally, I hope to get the Forty Aces Scholarship.
How difficult is it to get the Forty Acres (how many people receive it each year)</p>
<p>I hope to major in comp. sci or some kind of engineering.</p>
<p>This my academic record:
Freshman year: All A's (2 language classes, 1 PE, 5 honors)</p>
<p>Sophomore year: (so brutal): (6 AP classes (3 B's, 3 A's), 1 honors (A), 1 Advanced PE (A))</p>
<p>My high school is a little different so I'll be taking legit college classes next year. And from what I've heard, the junior and senior years are easier than sophomore year so I think I have a good chance to maintain a 4.0 unweighted GPA for junior and senior year.</p>
<p>9th grade SAT:
Overall: 2010
Math: 760
Reading: 610
Writing: 640</p>
<p>I did the official Collegeboard practice SAT test online and I got a 2230 but I normally get around 2180. I'll take the SAT a final time in junior year.</p>
<p>I also head a club and I play tennis and piano (learning to program as well).</p>
<p>Am I on the right track to even stand a chance for getting the scholarship?</p>
<p>I heard very few people get it... so I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be more difficult than I imagined.</p>
