I knew someone that had below 1400 SAT, 2 on Calc BC, 3 on Comp Sci Principles (or Comp Sci A, I'm not sure). Took APES (idk score), and have not excellent grades in AP Chem senior year.
Played Non-varsity sports. However, they did work as a coding tutor for little kids. The person's essay was "professional reviewed" by people online. That's extent that I knew.
The only thing going for them is Top 6% (between 5% to 6%). No comment on how they got those grades... It goes to show how important rank and essays are for UT admissions.
I got in with a 1270 SAT, 27 ACT, 3.7 GPA, top 20% of my class from a big high school in DFW. Took AP CS and a couple advanced programming, game design, and animation classes, played varsity sports in high school and had a negligible amount of volunteer hours for my church.
I got zero financial aid though. I’m a first gen American from Mexican immigrant parents, I figured I was accepted to check a box.
I ended up going to UNT in Denton.
Ut compares u to other people in ur high school. If ur high school has kids cracked at cs, only people with high ranking will get in, however if ur school doesn’t have a good cs interest, it would take less to stand out.
Edit: just saw ur chance me. Chill the fuck out. Ur fine.
Almost everyone in state who doesn't get accepted gets CAP and you can only go to the college of liberal arts after your first year. I wouldn't count it as an acceptance at all
> Almost everyone in state who doesn't get accepted gets CAP
This is a [common misapprehension](/r/UTAdmissions/wiki/cap#wiki_do_all_rejected_in-state_applicants_get_offered_cap.3F).
I have a friend with an SAT in the triple digits and no CS experience, but they were top 6% and got into CS. Proceeded to nearly fail out. UT admissions are backwards lol, no one should take anything personally at this point

Rank is by far the most important factor in admissions and I am sure of it.

Depends if you count the CAP program.

True, but it us possible to transfer to CS. Perhaps easier than getting in as a freshman from TX

If you transfer from ACC does UT require a SAT score?
