<p>4.0 weighted, 3.9 unweighted. I come from a school that uses the 4.0 scale.</p>

<p>Female, half-Chinese, half Caucasian from a good public school but I'm out of state. I got a 2200 on the SAT (770 critical reading, 630 math, 800 writing) and an 11 on the essay, and I got a 32 on the ACT, and a 9 on the essay. I got 730 on the lit subject test, 740 on the world history, and 780 on the US history. My intended major is probably history, thinking of a double major in history and anthropology.</p>

<p>All of that info is useless without rank.</p>

3

<p>Top 10% I think - I don’t know for sure, though.</p>

4

<p>just know that highest priority goes to tx residents.</p>

5

<p>Pretty good chances to all colleges except Business and Engineering.</p>

<p>I’d say that you have great chances, but unless you know your exact rank it’s very tough to say. But my guess is that you should be fine as far as getting into your desired majors. </p>

<p>Good Luck! :)</p>

<p>You should be fine. I got in OOS and without a rank (my hs didnt rank). Your stats are on average higher than mine. Good luck!</p>
