will i get into university of texas at austin?

im a junior in highschool and am starting to look at colleges and am considering this as a choice. i don't live instate, not in the top 10 percent, but probably in the 20th. i have a 3.8 gpa, really involved in extra activities, played sports all throughout highschool, did okay on my act-27, retaking it for a higher score, and not taking the sat. i have a learning disability- auditory processing disorder. do you think they would accept me, even though i dont really meet any of the requirements?

yess they want peopel out of state so they can get more money

i think u have a good chance.
but im only a freshman wat do i kno.


UGA FOR ME!!

try asking this in the discussion section of "college confidential" there will probably be a lot of similar threads to compare to...

just google it

take the SAT and try to be in the top 10% ....THey're really strict..I was accepted there after high school because I was in the top 10% so they accepted me automatically...

but yeah you probably have a good chance with your GPA..it also helps if you are like in the national honor society and community service. :)

do you play football well? if so for sure...with the 3.8 gpa you should not have a problem,,.. goodluck

I'd say you have a slim chance of getting accepted because....

A) Your class ranking isn't good. If you want to get in from out-of-state, you really need to be in at least the Top 10%. There are tons of kids in Texas who are Top 11% who get rejected with higher GPAs and better class ranks than what you have. UT isn't going to accept a person with worse stats from out-of-state.

B) Your ACT score isn't that good either. I'd say with your poor class rank, you should try as hard as possible to get at least a 30 on the ACT, but even that might not be good enough.

C) People continually underestimate how hard it is to get into UT from out-of-state. UT isn't exactly an out-of-state friendly school. The out-of-state acceptance rate is around 25%, where as the overall acceptance rate for the university is around 50%. The out-of-state population of UT is somewhere in the range of 6-8%.

Also, since UT is having to accept more and more auto-admits because of the Top 10% Law (around 80% for the freshmen class of 2008), the competition for the remaining spots is becoming harder and harder each year, especially for out-of-staters.

In the end, all you really can do is try to increase your GPA and ACT scores, and work extra hard on your essays.
