UT yes -

McCombs who knows.

Best of luck.

Great candidate for Mays and other great B Schools.

Since you are just outside of the top 6%, UT Austin generally should be considered a reach, even before considering that business is a more competitive major than general admission.

@Professor_Pork did you apply anywhere else?
Great stats/scores, but UT is a Reach at 7%, McCombs will be an even harder Reach.

Just curious, you have great stats, did you get into McCombs?
