<p>anyone? bueller?</p>

<p>I say match.</p>

<p>They automaticaly accept top 25% with a 1350 SAT (Math and Reading)in state, and you’re better then that. I think you have a 1350 with math and reading. </p>

<p>DP</p>

4

<p>^ No they don’t.
UT only has auto-admits for top 10% applicants only.</p>

<p>jeb1291 - It depends on your major.</p>

5

<p>Yeah that’s A&M, that doesn’t hold true at all for UT.</p>

6

<p>Wow, I could have sworn. It’s not for A&M either, A&M is top 25% with a 1300. I must have been dreaming.</p>

<p>DP</p>

<p>I’m thinking about going into a political science/economics type major…would this make it easier or harder?</p>

<p>I’m also pretty interested in going premed (i know totally different) so would biology (or undeclared for that matter) up my chances?</p>

<p>I feel like some of my EC’s are pretty unique, but does that even matter for a school as big as UT? (kind of like UC Berkeley I would assume?)</p>

8

<p>Yes, they will look at your EC’s.</p>

<p>Thank you MidwestMom! I’ve been working on my essays for three days straight…hopefully they will pretty solid I have what I would consider some unique experiences (focusing on international experience), but yet again doesn’t everyone these days? Thanks a ton! </p>

<p>And I don’t have parents that work there, but I do have a cousin that I’m pretty close with that works at UT (research librarian, helps out students etc). Would it help for him to send in a letter or anything?</p>

10

<p>I do not know if an extra letter would help.</p>

<p>I do not think it is any harder or easier to be accepted as a biology major in the CNS or as an econ major in the CLA, but you might try starting a new thread asking just that question - others might have some insight on this. (I think you “sound” more like a college of liberal arts student.)</p>
