<p>My son has a little time to make any real decisions. He expects that he will get admitted to UT (currently top 6% of his class) but will probably not get into McCombs as a freshman. The question is what does it take to be admitted to McCombs as a sophomore?</p>
<p>like 75% of the freshman spots are for kids that are auto admits, so as long as he applys early he will more than likely get in.</p>
<p>75% are automits- but those 75% are kids who rank top 1-3% of their class…
but one of my friends got in she was top 12%, but another got rejected and was top 4%. so there is hope</p>
<p>Go here: [Getting</a> Admitted - Texas BBA - Undergraduate Program - The McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin](<a href=“http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/bba/admission/]Getting”>Admissions | BBA | McCombs School of Business) Then go to the internal transfers tab and it shows the stats: the average gpa was a 3.8 and the minimum was a 3.6. However, it seems these numbers will drop because I’ve been told they are switching to a +/- grade system. It’ll be tough, but I’m gonna try to transfer in as a sophomore as well.</p>
<p>I got rejected and I’m in the top 3% of my class, and a friend of mine got rejected and he’s in the top 7%.</p>
<p>BUT, another friend of mine, who is in the top 27% of our class, got accepted.</p>
<p>So who knows.</p>
<p>i think SAT math scores will help you get in, so just make sure he does well on the sat</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone can be sure or unsure if they could get into McCombs. I know someone who got in whose grades were subpar. He had a lot of ECs and had a decent amouny of community service hours, but his grades were really lacking and even he was surprised he got in. So just because your grades aren’t too hot doesn’t mean you won’t get accepted. But if you’re in the top 1-2% i think you should be pretty good as long as your SATs aren’t terrible and you have a good amount of ECs.</p>
<p>so basically your son needs to work extra hard these last 2 months of school,</p>
<p>McCombs looks at leadership, too, don’t forget that. My GPA was on a vicious downward spiral, from top 2% to ~8%, but I got in, and I’m pretty sure that was because of SAT scores/involvement in organizations 
But yeah, I’m really surprised at all these high-ranking people getting rejected. My original impression was that clubs/EC’s would “make up” for a bad rank, but rank was still foremost.</p>
