<p>No chance for BME. It’s a high reach for you right now for getting into UT itself. If you get a 30+ ACT, then you might have a chance.</p>

<p>Biomedical Engineering admits top out at around a rank of 4% with a minimum SAT (math/english only) of 1470 - information from when my son & I went to an admit session in engineering. It is THE MOST competitive engineering program at UT. So, unfortunately, I doubt you’ll get in with your stats.</p>

<p>Try for natural sciences, that is easier to get into.</p>
