Will I get a full scholarship to UTD?

Paying for College
1

I just finished my junior year. I got a 2090 on my SAT and am about to take my ACT this month. I have a pretty low GPA,
about a 3.4. Also, I’m a dual credit student, meaning I’m completing 2 years of college in high school. I have few volunteering hours, but my high school requires 100 volunteering hours to graduate, so I’ll have those. I’ll also have 6 AP courses by the end of senior year. I also live in Texas near UTD (close enough to drive) and am an ethnic minority.

Any advice as to how to increase my chances of getting a full scholarship to UTD would be appreciated.
Thanks =)

Are you low income?

If so, then maybe you’ll qualify for some need-based aid.

What is your M+CR?

there’s little you can do now with your GPA being what it is. Retesting might help, but if the school requires a higher GPA, then that will be an issue.

Look here to see if any will work. Ignore the “closed” statements, that is likely for the current incoming frosh.

See here:

It looks like >1400 CR+M was the average number for the full tuition award last year.

They don’t tell average GPA but 3.4 is bound to be low compared to the average scholarship winner.
