Data science has becoming a hot major. I’m familiar with three Texas high schools (a large public school my children attend, a large title one public school I teach at, and a private school I used to teach at). Among the class of 2022 high school graduates, I know a handful considering it; class of 2023 I know at least five are attending colleges for this major; class of 2024 I’ve already heard at least a dozen considering applying for this major. Two of them were admitted to UT Austin last year for stats/data science and both had higher ranking and SAT than OP. They both applied priority and are admitted to their school of natural science honors program.
