I'm a good writer so fairly decent essays

<p>So, do I have a shot? I'm seriously considering UT Austin just because it would be so cheap compared to the other colleges I am considering which are mostly LAC's</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>my school doesnt rank (thank god)</p>

<p>for what it's worth, 48 out of 53 were accepted from my school last year. and also, my grades in high school have an upward trend with my senior grades being, so far, A's and B's. I'm only taking 1 course that offers an AP that I'm not taking. The rest of my schedule consists of 2 AP englishes and classes that don't offer AP's</p>
