<p>Okay, so I really hate waiting for admission decisions and I need to know where I stand at getting into UT Austin. I'm applying for Studio art major... (and I read on their web page that statistically only 50% of their fine art students are non-top 10%.) This might help, but I still have to get into the school. </p>

<p>In-state
Weighted GPA: 4.24
Unweighted GPA: 3.64
Class Rank: 183/887 (=21%)
Sat M: 630
Sat V: 590
Sat W: 630 (essay= 10)
As for AP tests:
AP 2D design: 4
AP Drawing: Pending
AP Art History: pending
Almost all my core classes have been honors/pre-AP classes. </p>

President of National Art Honor Society (9th-12th)
Vice-President of Art Club (9th- 12th) Treasurer (11th)
National Honor Society Member
National Society of High School Scholars (12th)... I don</p>

<p>If that many kids from your highschool applied and were admitted, you probably have a good shot. Let me guess, a suburban competitive public highschool in houston or dallas?</p>

<p>I would say your at about 40% since your applying to fine arts. Had it been any other major, it would be much lower. GPA and SAT is mediocre-ish, but again, fine arts is the easiest school to get into. I am not sure if they take portfolios or anything into account, but never the less, good luck.</p>

<p>What school do you go to, because that is a damn big class. Ours is huge and our class is only 787.</p>

4

<p>You know what.... our class used to be about 1,200 students until 11th grade.... at that point they built a 2nd high school</p>

5

<p>Wow thats pretty ridiculous..</p>

6

<p>Geez.. My freshman year our class was 900, nearing 1,000 until they built a new high school my sophomore year.. bringing us down to like 400.. shattering the potentials of my class rank.</p>

7

<p>ouch, and i thought our school is big :( What part of the country are you guys from? I'm from the DFW area and we're consider a 5A school and only has around 3300 kids in the school period.</p>

8

<p>woodlands college park?</p>

9

<p>Yeah ours has about 3500-3600 total.</p>

10

<p><25%. I had a better GPA, better rank (in private school), higher SAT, and more AP tests, and i didnt get in.</p>

Did you even get summer program? And what major did you apply to?</p>

12

<p>Actually, if it is The Woodlands/Woodlands College Park, you had 1385 before the split.</p>

13

<p>Vyse got capped last year and is now attending Texas A&M after deciding not to do the CAP program</p>

14

<p>Yeah I go to the woodlands. ... are you sure it was 1300+ because i remember it being a little smaller, but maybe you are right..... </p>

<p>Vyse... what major did you apply to? Because honestly I don't even think that there would be even the slightest chance of me getting in... if I were applying to any other major then studio art. I've heard its one of the easier schools to get into. I think the school's average sat score was 1176. </p>

<p>I should just probably stop worrying about this anyway since I won't know probably till march.</p>

15

<p>We should all stop worrying, but this is the only way to ease my nerves. I am going to worry until mid march, so why not vent a little bit now.</p>
