I live in Arkansas and go to a decently sized high school. I have a 3.4 GPA with 6 AP classes. On the ACT, my best score was a 28, and I got an 1800 on the SAT. I want to got to Vanderbilt, but that seems to be out of my reach. So my two choice now are Texas or Arkansas university. I don't really want to go to the University of Arkansas, but I will if I can't get into Texas.
Here are my stats:
3.4 GPA - 6 AP classes taken
28 - ACT
1800 - SAT
183 - PSAT
Is that Texas worthy? Even scholorship worthy for Texas?

Texas has a number of excellent colleges and universities. However, I would recommend that you choose several schools and do your research on each of them and then possibly narrow your decision. Next plan a tour of the campus' and see if it is something that you would be interested in, especially if they have the subject you wish to pursue. Also ask about scholarships and housing.

UT-Austin or just any Texas school?
If UT-Austin, I'd say no. Texas has a 10% law. It means if you're in the top 10% of a high school in Texas, you can choose any Texas school you want to. Of course, most choose UT-Austin. Because of that, there are less and less spots for people who aren't in the top 10% of their class. In the news, they've reported on a lot of kids who have trouble getting in to UT-Austin even with a 4.0 GPA and high SAT scores.
Since you're out of state, it's going to be even harder.

For destiny reference, Duke is in the ACC athletic convention, no longer the Ivy. with the intention to get into the Ivy League colleges, Duke or Rice, you will would desire to get an SAT score on the intense end of that variety -- or larger. additionally, that 3.ninety six will would desire to be unweighted. no count if that's weighted, you will would desire to do extra constructive. you will in all risk be stable for Baylor, and stable for UT -- in case you're a texas resident. At maximum of those colleges, being an underrepresented minority will help. Being an overrepresented minority (i.e., Asian) will in all risk harm. it particularly is going to have not any effect at UT -- as maximum public universities are prohibited from finding at race.

With grades like that, you should be more ambitious than Texas! You won't make it into an Ivy League school, but you can get into a school that's almost as good.

i believe so but your best bet is to do your research with the school. That information is posted on their website. If you want to talk to your counselor that's a good idea too. So good luck with that and do your research with the school!
