Will I get into the University of Texas at Austin and maybe the Dean's Scholar program?


Asked by Kiara B
I have been reading up on the University of Texas in Austin and it seems to be a good fit for me. I have a 4.41 weighted GPA and a 3.7 unweighted GPA (top 9 % of class). I got an 1850 an the SATs (or 1300 critical reading and math). I am president of FCCLA, vice president of ecology club, and treasurer/historian of science club. I am in National Honor Society and National French Honor Society. I am in a Math and Science Center program at my school. I also have 200+ hours of community service. Lastly, over the summer I volunteered most of my time at the Capital Area Health Network, a healthcare system in my area. I know it is hard for out-of-state students but I am very interested in this school. I would probably apply for the school of natural sciences. Also, I am African-American and I do not live in Texas, so the 10 % rule does not apply. I have been getting varying answers. I understand they first fill the seats with Texas students. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

I think that you are qualified for the program and if that's really where you want to go you should apply. If I were you I would find out who is in charge and contact them and ask them questions about the program and let them know what your concern are usually they can be really helpful in giving advice about getting in to the program.
