<p>I am seriously so frustrated and upset. I just logged in today and found out that I was rejected. It was a really crushing blow to me, I thought my stats were pretty good: 2320 superscore sat, predicted A Level grades: AAA/B + A for GP, decent ECs (won competitions). Can anyone please please explain to me why I was rejected and what I should do now? Is it because I’m an international student? I’m just so upset and demoralised now I feel as if all hope is gone :((((((((( I don’t know where to go from here…</p>
<p>Your international status most likely produced the damage. Due to the TX state legislature’s passing of a bill that automatically accepts students who are in the top 8% in their respective high school classes to UT Austin, approximately 75% of university offers are allocated to in-state applicants who are in the top 8% of their graduating class according to class rank in their respective high schools. Only 25% is left for non top8%ers and internationals. You have excellent stats, but circumstance probably “crowded” you out. </p>
<p>This is totally unrelated, but I have a cousin doing compulsory military training in Singapore. Have you applied to National University?</p>
<p>OOS (including international) is capped at 10% of acceptances by law. Applicants from all over the world are competing for those spots. It’s not that you aren’t wonderfully qualified, there are just not enough spots.</p>
<p>@1314eternal and Tiger1992</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m applying to local universities. Sorry I sounded really terrible ytd, cos I only just saw the rejection letter and honestly felt that I’m gonna get rejected everywhere else. But I’m much better today :)) thx for the replies!</p>
<p>I got admission from UT fall 2011 in masters of geology! I got another admission from Stanford as well. It is going to be a tough choise! I haven’t made up my mind yet</p>
<p>UT and Stanford admit people who cannot spell “choice”? Oh, how neat. ;]</p>
<p>Well, this is an informal discussion thread. Don’t be so picky. I don’t care about misspelling the word “choice”, at least I did not do that in my statement of purpose for UT and Stanford!!</p>
<p>Wait i thought UT doesn’t Superscore SAT?</p>
<p>UT doesn’t superscore SAT.</p>
