<p>How deeply involved are you in your ECs other than the Blood Water Mission Club?</p>

<p>I’d say low match in that case. Would you even want to be in, say, UT-Dallas or UT-Arlington if UT-Austin fell through?</p>

3

<p>If you are from Texas, probably not too high but from another state, you should get in.</p>

4

<p>I am an officer in Model UN, German Club, and LOVERS club. If I don’t get into Austin, I’m most likely going to go to Austin Community College for a semester or a full year, and then transfer.</p>

<p>@Texas: How does being in Texas hurt your chances? Obviously, they place higher expectations on out-of-state students than in-state students.</p>

6

<p>In state - rank mostly determines who gets in (60+ percent of all admissions at UT). OOS is more holistic.</p>

<p>In Texas, you need to be in the top 8% of your school to be an automatic in. So being in top 18% is a disqualifier and no one knows how good one has to be to make the cut in the holistic quota of admissions where they are considering attributes outside of the rank.</p>

<p>OOS students pay large amount in tuition and so they are given leeway in holistic process. The rank is not as much of a decider for OOS as much as the overall application.</p>

<p>Yeah, I personally don’t think I’m going to get in…</p>

<p>annadasz - I think you qualify for A&M auto in with your score and rank if you are interested.</p>

9

<p>And how would UTA treat non-ranking schools? Because there are lots of accreditated non-ranking schools whose students apply at UTA.</p>

<p>I know but I don’t want to go to A&M. Can’t imagine being an aggie and living in College Station…</p>
