<p>Young Republicans? SICK! (I kid)</p>

<p>ACT, EC’s look solid, what’s missing is your class rank.</p>

3

<p>ok cool</p>

<p>rank: around top 25%, that’s private school and it’s hard as hell.</p>

4

<p>i’ll vouch for him! went to the rival of jesuit. both very, very difficult schools.</p>

5

<p>Did you go to Jesuit Strake? That soccer state championship was a really close game between them, good game.</p>

6

<p>Don’t listen to anything pierrechn says. He has proved himself time and again to not know much about the admissions process at UT.</p>

7

<p>Wow, that was really immature…</p>

8

<p>

</p>

<p>Agreed. He’s a ■■■■■, and everyone should just ignore absolutely any “information” he provides.</p>

9

<p>Hmm, it seems like more than just a few people are starting to recognize pierre for what he is.</p>

10

<p>agree with what others said with regards to ACT versus SAT.</p>

<p>And maybe you should do some volunteer program too.</p>

Your first clue that this is not someone from whom to take advice.</p>

<p>(O.K., maybe not your FIRST clue.)</p>

12

<p>

</p>

<p>If by “alot” you mean 25% of the admitted students, then yes.</p>

<p>The range of ACT scores for 2008 Texas admits:
Middle 50%: 24-30
Average 27</p>

<p>And just for the sake of discussion:
Auto-admit Texas scores:
SAT 1211/1600
ACT 26
Non-auto admit Texas scores:
SAT 1271/1600
ACT 28
(Isn’t that difference interesting? Helps to illustrate the Top 10% effect)
OOS:
SAT 1313/1600
ACT 29
(It apparently IS harder to get in OOS by those numbers. 100 points higher than the auto-admits)
International:
SAT 1186
ACT 24</p>

<p>uhhh nope. i graduated a while back from BL so i haven’t been to any games vs. jesuit in quite some time.</p>

14

<p>lmao thats because majority of the people on this site are followers.</p>

<p>you people swear adding a few extra extracurriculars will hurt you, not like colleges actually go back to verify any of the information.</p>

15

<p>So it’s OK to lie or cheat as long as you don’t get caught? By that logic it’s acceptable to do anything illegal. You remind me of when Richard Milhous Nixon said “We could it, but it would be wrong.”</p>

16

<p>Pierrechn–Integrity is not indicative of a “follower”. If you wish to be an attorney, as you have so vehemently insisted in several different threads, you will need to learn that lawyers are bound by ethics. </p>

<p>It seems clear by your comment about lying on an application that you are not beneath “fudging” the facts to try and get ahead. I’ve witnessed a few attorneys who have adopted that same creed. Sooner or later, they always get caught. Losing your Bar license is a hefty price indeed for short term gain. </p>

<p>Your comments about cheating do the OP no good.</p>

17

<p>dont switch up my words VAIL, this is only to help the OP</p>

<p>everyone should just quit commenting on “comments” that are not toward them, otherwise it seems like everyone hear is someones *****</p>

18

<p>so…what about my chances??? haha</p>

19

<p>@pierrchn–If your comments are inaccurate, it is incumbent on those who know better to set the record straight for those posters asking legitimate questions.</p>

<p>@timp1206–Your chances are better next year with the top 8% rule in place than they would have been this year with the top 10% rule. This will allow for more students to be admitted who fall outside the auto admit or for schools, like yours, who do not rank. As others have mentioned, take the SAT and see how you do. There should be an SAT offered in May, and you can take it again in the fall if you want to improve your score. </p>

<p>Your stats and EC’s look good. I hope you get admitted. :)</p>

<p>Thanks txex86, I hope I get in too. Got one brother and sister there too, but I’m sure legacy does not matter. I took the PSAT and got:</p>

<p>Reading: 560
Math: 650
Writing: 510
Total: 1720</p>

<p>My ACT composite of 30 is equivalent to about a 2000 on SAT, so I think I am just going to forget about taking the SAT. I have done A LOT of practice SAT tests and have not got anywhere close to a 2000, so I think taking it in May will be futile. I was registered for the SAT in March, but just skipped.</p>
