I am currently a resident in Texas, and I am really stressed out about getting into UT, because it is my number one choice, but I am not sure if I will be able to get in. Thoughts based on my stats?
SAT: 1380 (720 M 660 V)
GPA: 4.6
Class Rank: 60/645
Decile: 10% of class (9% more specifically)
EC: Started my own club, member of Student Council, involved in UNICEF, HOSA, Political Events club, Key Club, and have been in Orchestra since the 5th grade.
I am currently a junior and very stressed out about college, because I know I am going to have to apply soon, and UT mainly accepts automatic admit, and although I’m not top 6%, would I still have a high chance to get in?
I agree with the previous poster. Its been tough this year for anyone outside of the top 6%. I would guess you might be offered CAP. You might look into that and see if it interests you. (attend another UT system school for a year with admission to UT Austin the following year/sophomore) Good luck to you.
Most definitely apply to multiple schools. Even though my daughter is an auto admit, top 2%, I “encouraged” her to apply to others, mainly to compare financial offers.
Here are some numbers how hard it was this year. https://www.theparentsdean.com/blog-1/2019-ut-admissions-the-new-reality
