What do you think his AI was?
Don’t waste your time stressing over UT’s admissions process. I too, spent the majority of my junior year and senior year thus far researching everything I could about UT’s process. I am in-state, only top 26% of my class with an alright SAT score of 2080. And I am happy to say that last week I was accepted into their Computer Science program. Basically everyone was telling me that I had no shot of getting in and I shouldve just chosen a different major but I chose to stick it through. I believe I got in because I invested my entire summer into crafting the best Application I could and I suggest your son does too. I wrote and rewrote essays A, B, C until I just couldnt look at them anymore. I made a very detailed three page resume covering my extracurriculars and I asked my teachers very early on for recommendations so they could have time to write a quality rec. I ended up sending ut 5 recs btw. AI may carry some value but dont forget about the PAI which can prove to be much more important than you think.
