So I'm a junior getting ready to apply to The University of Texas at Austin, and I have a 3.7 GPA with decent extracurricular activities. I've also been involved in my school's art club and basketball team. Anyone know how competitive UT Austin really is and what else can improve my chances here?

Hi! I just got back my ACT results, and I scored a 22. I'm kind of anxious because I'm not sure if it's enough for the schools I'm looking at. I'm mainly interested in mid-size state schools, but I won't rule out a few privates. How competitive is this score? Should I consider retaking the test, or is it good enough for most admissions? Any advice from others with similar experiences would be super helpful!

I got my SAT results and I scored a 1460. I'm trying to figure out if this is a competitive score or if I should consider retaking it. Do you think a 1460 is a good score for top-tier schools, or should I aim higher? I'm also curious about how much more a higher score might improve my chances overall.
I'm worried my teacher might submit my recommendation letter a bit late. I know the college apps deadline for USC is coming up soon. Is it okay to submit the letters after the official deadline, or should I just ask another teacher who can submit it on time?
