Hi! I am currently a senior in high school and graduate in 2017. I’d like to enter the College of Natural Sciences or Liberal Arts to major in Environmental Science.

ACT: 26 (I had a really bad test day so I retook this early June and am expecting to get at least a 30)
31 in English
25 in Math
29 in Reading
20 in Science
23/36 in Writing

New SAT on 1600 Scale: 1320 (Retook this early June aiming for a 1400)
690 Evidence based reading/writing
630 Math

I am part of a health science magnet school, so I have a rigorous curriculum that only allows us to take Pre-AP/AP classes when possible and our electives are classes through which we learn more about careers in the medical field. Through this magnet school I have been OSHA certified, CPR certified, Certified Dental Assistant, and will be Medical Office Assistant Certified during my senior year.

I have about 500-550 community service hours.

I have very few EC’s which i’m scared will hurt my application: National Honor Society
HOSA (Freshman Year)
Gamer’s Club (Junior Year)
and I plan to join SNHS, BETA, Key Club, and Amnesty.

AP Classes: US Government (Passed AP test with 4)
Macroeconomics
Psychology (waiting on test score)
English Language and Composition (waiting on test score)
Environmental Science

Dual Enrollment Courses:
US History 1302 (Waiting on test score)
English 1301
English 1302
College Algebra

I am currently looking for a summer job but no luck so far!

My Class rank: 69/618 (Top 11%)
GPA Weighted: 4.0077 not too sure about my unweight GPA
I am hoping to at least get top 7% with my Fall semester transcript but I will for sure get at least 10%, but what are my chances if I don’t make the top 7% auto admit? I’ve heard that non-auto admit for UT can be pretty hard so I’m worried that my lack of Extra curriculars will hurt me. Thank you for the help!

I also forgot to add that I am a Hispanic Female.
