I am a texas resident and I am in the top 7-8% of my class and have a 3.98/4.0 GPA. I have a 1500 SAT and decent extracurriculars. As ut is becoming more and more competitive I feel like I really don't have a chance.
As practice shows, diligent candidates like you have every chance of getting into UT Austin, especially considering the Top 6% Automatic Admission program for Texas residents, so don't slow down your pace, and everything will work out for you.
