UT HSS Question

Hello,

I am thinking of applying for the Health Science Scholars program, and I was wondering the weight of SAT/ACT scores in the admissions process. On the contrary, I am in the Top 3% of my class and I have some very good extra-curriculars. Can these qualities, alongside essays and recommendations, outweigh the Standardized Test scores?. I am currently a Junior in High School and hope to apply in 2019.

Thank you

SAT/ACT scores are important. Aim to get top 1-2% scores and you will have a fair chance to get into the HSS program.
