Thank you for visiting our community! The University of Texas at Austin has become significantly more competitive in the past few years. Additionally, good admissions data has become far more difficult to find. Please review:

You have a decent SAT but I’m guessing based on GPA you have a mid level class rank. Try and apply but realistically if your dream is UT , you might need to just knock out 24 hours at another college/juco and try for an external transfer admission .

pretty strong - you have athletics and major-relevant ECs, plenty of service hours, pre-professional experience (are you pre-dental? That is a track you can select in your application)

UT puts a very strong emphasis on automatic admission. Something like 75% of each freshman class has been comprised of Texan auto-admits (could be totally wrong, I don’t remember the source). If you don’t rank in the top 6% of your class, then hope that you get into the top 6% after this semester ends. Otherwise, you still have a strong holistic application and I think you would definitely be likely to be part of that 25%.

If you aren’t accepted for your major at UT Austin, you may be offered delayed admission through the CAP program, which allows you to attend a secondary UT system school (pretty much any UT campus besides UT Dallas) for one year, before being automatically transferred to Austin provided you meet certain GPA and credit requirements. For a biology major, I personally would not recommend accepting a CAP offer. The program only applies for majors within the Liberal Arts College, whereas biology is obviously in the College of Natural Sciences. If you wanted to use CAP to guarantee transfer admission to UT, you’d have to study a liberal arts major your freshman year, and apply to externally transfer into biology without any guarantee of admission into that major. You’d have the exact same chances trying to externally transfer into UT biology as a sophomore. Best of luck to you!
