How difficult is it to get an acceptance from UT Austin for Communications major? Also, how good is this specific major there?
Stats:
GPA - 3.3 W/ 3.0 UW
IB Diploma student - math, economics, English (HL) and french, art, physics (SL)
Sats - 2000
ACT - taking it soon, expecting something over 27 or 30

International student (Would this be a negative in my application?)

ECs

1) Published several articles in the newspaper
2) Summe intership at a publication agency as a writer
3) summer internship at a marketing firm
4) been doing MUN for 4 years now
5) editor of a magazine at my school
5) Been invovled in an environmental club at school - took it seriously, worked a lot and got to represent the school at an international conference, secretary of the club (freshmen year)

I think I can get good recommendations and write a good essay too…My question is: How will my bad GPA affect my chances, if there are any?
