UT Austin Home-School Student?

<p>Hola, (Little Spanish lol)</p>

<p>Okay anyway, I was a home-schooled student online through a college, and I live in Texas and I want to attend UT. My issue is I know UT is "Rank Heavy" and what are my chances? I have a 3.9 GPA I graduated a year early,because like most home schooled students we don't have rankings in out classes.</p>

<p>I'm trying every-way possible to get into this school but it has every thing I'm looking for in my major's.</p>

<p>Can Anyone Help Me?</p>

<p>Do you mind if I ask what college you did your homeschooling through?</p>

<p>I’m only curious because I did an online schooling program through Texas Tech (and I’m also applying to UT). </p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>I would say for you to get in you need to have an excellent SAT score, resume, and essays to account for your lack of rank. UT takes numerous homeschooled students each year because UT recognizes how driven many of them are.</p>

<p>I was also homeschooled through Texas Tech online high school and I am applying to the school of social work (first choice) and COLA - rhetoric and writing (second choice) for the fall of 2013. I have a 3.83 high school GPA and a 3.8 GPA on 21 dual credit hours, a 1980 on my SAT, and good ECs and rec letters. I’m pretty anxious to see what admissions decides in February.</p>

<p>It does require a ~2000 on the SAT for non-ranking homeschoolers…</p>

<p>^Where does it say that on the Webiste? I cant find that requirement</p>

<p>Put your self Down as 1/1 And be considered Val!</p>

<p>Actually, what you need is roughly a 3.7+ GPA, a 630+ on all 3 SAT Scores or 26+ on ACT</p>

<p>@ Catria - I’ve actually spoken with the counselor at the main Austin admissions office that handles homeschoolers, and there is no set score requirement for homeschooled students. Either way, you’ll be offered CAP if you’re in state so it’s just a matter of being admitted this year or next, at least for me.</p>

<p>Perhaps at 2000 it is a low match or a safety, though.</p>

<p>Ashworth College, I’m attending A Community College Here as well</p>

<p>@mlaitkep What do you mean by Resume? Do you mean Transcript?</p>

<p>@ ElayneCollege - a resume is a document that lists and describes your education, extracurricular involvements and accomplishments. If you haven’t made one yet you can take a look at the Be A Longhorn website. They have a resume template on there somewhere.</p>
