Almost no chance for admission to the University of Texas at Austin as Hispanic/Latino representation is at or above 25% (an over-represented minority) and only 8% of the student body is from out-of-state.

No chance based on shared data for the University of Florida which is very similar to situation at the Univ. of Texas at Austin.

NC State will be a reach as only 12% are non-residents.

Univ. of Georgia is a reach.

Assuming an SAT score of 1300 and class rank below top 10%, applying to the Univ. of Georgia, Univ. of Florida, and the Univ. of Texas at Austin is an absolute waste of time & money. Not even a five (5%) chance of admission at any of these universities. About 5% chance at NC State.

The good news is that your son should be accepted at many great schools such as TCU [b](which one website states that TCU has the most attractive female students of any university in the country)[/b], Baylor (which seems to be growing in popularity due to excellent sports programs), UNC Charlotte, LSU, Auburn, Alabama, ASU, & South Carolina.

FSU, Miami, and SMU are reaches.[/quote]

Super helpful post until this one WTF comment. Makes the rest of what you said worthless because now you seem clueless.

No, it just makes you seem rude & insecure. Sorry if my post offended you. [/quote]
