I am REALLY hoping to get into UT this upcoming year. I am planning to apply to the School of Communication for Radio, Film, Television. I am, however, quite nervous about getting admitted.

My stats are as follows:

GPA: UW- 3.40 (school doesn’t do weighted)

Took a total of 6 Honors and 2 AP classes (so far)

Rank: ~Top 25% at highly competitive high school (Eden Prairie HS)

ACT: 27 (28 super-scored)

Senior Schedule: AP Lit, AP Stats, AP Euro, Spanish 5 (College Credit), Honors Physics, Concert Choir, AP Macro & Microeconomics

ECs:

-Auditioned Men’s Acapella Group (2 years)

-Audition Chamber Choir (1 year)

-4 Musicals, 5 other productions (Been apart of Drama for all 4 years)

*Placed 1st at Subsections, 3rd at Sections, and 2nd at Thespian Society Competition for
our Competitive One Act.

-2 years of JV Lacrosse (Captain Sophomore Year)

I know my GPA is low, but I believe my overall profile is pretty well rounded.

So, how likely is it that I will be accepted to this amazing institution?
