My older sister just got rejected-which is unfair, because she deserves to get in far more than other people going there. My parents went to UT, my grandparents went to UT, and we’ve always grown up pretty much planning on going to UT. She’s an excellent student, and a very hard worker. Mostly A’s and a few B’s (overall is an A though-and she hasn’t gotten a C once all throughout high school, or at all, to my knowledge) at an one of the most elite and well-regarded private schools in the Metroplex. She plays varsity sports, and she’s good at it. She volunteers all the time. She got around a 2100 on the SAT. We’re both part of a Masonic-affiliated service organization, and she’s about to become the head of the entire state-and UT actually has a tenuous connection to the organization, through the Scottish Rite Dorm. People say I’m smarter, and maybe I am, but I always knew my sister would get farther because she’s more organized and works harder than anyone I know. She deserved to get in, and would have done well if she had. Even so, I know someone who was rejected from UT, but accepted into Harvard! You would think it’d be the other way around.
