Need advice for U of H application

Hey all, I've been looking around on some stats about the University of Houston and its acceptance rate. Does anyone have any insight into this? I'm wondering what my chances feel like. Any info would be super appreciated!

University of Houston (UH) overall has a relatively high acceptance rate, with an average of around 65% in recent years, making it a selective but achievable target for many students. The key factors considered in admissions at UH include your high school GPA, the rigor of your course schedule, your class rank, and your SAT or ACT scores (if submitted).

Now, while UH's acceptance rate is high, the student's level of achievement can vary extensively, particularly if you're interested in certain more selective programs such as Business or Engineering. Therefore, when evaluating your chances, you should look at your academic achievements (GPA, course rigor, and test scores if applicable) in comparison to the average admitted student profile at UH.

Your extracurricular involvement will also play a role. While not as heavily weighted as your academics, demonstrating leadership, commitment, and a deep interest in a few extracurriculars could significantly boost your application. Try to focus on Tier 1, 2, and 3 activities as they make the strongest impact.

Also, if you're still in the process of filling out your application, pay particular attention to any essays. Although UH uses a combination of the ApplyTexas and Common Application and does not have its own school-specific essays, the core essays are your opportunity to present yourself beyond grades and scores by sharing unique experiences and personal perspectives. Make sure to proofread for any errors and ask a teacher or mentor for feedback.

As always, remember that while statistics can give you some guidance, they are not everything. Universities consider a variety of factors in their admissions process, making it a complex- and sometimes unpredictable- process. Best of luck with your application!
