I’m thinking about applying to ut cs, but I heard that the department is getting very difficult to get into. My cousin went to ut cs in 2012, and he had a fantastic gpa and class rank, but not a good sat score. The situation I’m facing right now is pretty much the same. My rank is 6/530 (it’s 1%) with a great gpa and extra activities, but a bad sat score. He says I can get in, but I’m not really sure I can get in due to my test score
I’m texas resident btw.
Plus, I will apply to ut early(august 1st)
Do you think applying early will help?

You say your SAT score is bad but you did not include your score. It’s impossible to answer your question without you providing additional information.
If you are in the top 8% of your class in a Texas public school, then you are guaranteed admission to UT. However, that does not mean that you will necessarily get into the college of your choice at UT. Have you tried taking the ACT? Some students do much better on the ACT than on the SAT or on the SAT than on the ACT.
What is your score? Maybe it’s not as bad as you think it is.
While UT does not superscore, they will look at the highest single test administration.
