Hi, I am an incoming high school senior (Class of 2023) apply soon to UTD in the coming weeks. I have taken my SAT and do not have that high of a class rank. I was hoping holistic review could really help me in admission. I would like to major in marketing if I attend UTD. What do you guys think are my chances?

Sidenote / Things I may want to talk about in my essay.

Sibling graduating TAMU Class of 2020
Grew up in a very nice area! (middle to upper middle class)
I think you will be accepted. Your SAT of 1300 is in the middle 50% range. You do have a good math score. You are also in the top 50% of your class and are taking harder classes. For your essay, my suggestion out of the three would be being the son of immigrant parents.

I think his chances are good on being admitted. His SAT scores are at the 50% and he is in the top 50% rank wise and and has taken harder classes. He should be admitted and you should know shortly.
