Chance me for UT Austin! (GPA: 3.5 UW, SAT: 1460, Major: Biology or Neuroscience) [TX resident, top 50% rank]

You are right - I’m thrown by the top 10% auto admit. But it’s just my guess. If I’m too conservative, then great for the kids.

The SAT was good. The student says - top 50% rank - so I don’t know if that’s 20% or 40% or 50%.

But 2/3 are in the top 10% of their class and 91% in the top 25%.

So if the student is not in the top 25%, I’d call it a reach. They don’t list GPAs in the CDS.

I don’t assume alternative locations - such as Blinn, which is a community college with co-enrollment. I assume the student is asking about the formal A&M education.

Thanks
