I hope you try to control the urge to laugh but is 1310 a good enough score in SATs for UT austin?

Question

my ACT score is 25 and i havent finished school yet so i dont know my GPA. for some reason no one gives exact numbers, but i'll appreciate any help you see fit to give me thank you

Answer 1

1310 is not a high score, and UT looks for kids with high scores. Try taking the SAT another time if possible. Your ACT score is average, but colleges look at more than just your SAT/ACT score.

Answer 2

Probably not, UT Austin is one of the best schools in Texas and they have enough freshman applying as it is.  It is actually pretty competitive and rejection, CAP (placing you in UT San Antonio/ Dallas) may happen.  However, UT will probably accept you if you are officially top 10% of your graduating class.  

If you still have time left, please take the SAT again. You can take the SAT up to 3 times before you apply. And college like to see you improve! Do your best. Take more SAT before you apply to college!!! Some colleges take the highest writing, reading, and math scores you get out of all the SAT tests you take and add them up to your advantage so that's always good for you!   Try to get it around 1800.

Volunteer activities, leadership, overall GPA, your ESSAY, and interview (if you have one with a college rep) all add up to influence the college decision.

- Do tons of practice problems and practice practice practice on those ESSAYS! they count for 180 pts of the overall score! Writing was the easiest part of the SAT for me because all you have to do is to learn to spot those grammar errors!

- Maybe consider taking one of those SAT prep classes? Some have some really great tips to bring up your scores.

- Maybe consider taking the ACT. I had a friend who didn't do so well on the SAT and ended up doing really great on the ACT and colleges like that!

Good Luck!
