Admissions advice for UT Austin

Hello,

I recently transferred to an American high school in my hometown in Switzerland after spending my entire academic life in the Swiss system. My grades there were fairly average, and I’m not sure how they will translate to the U.S. system.

My goal is to study Computer Science at UT Austin, as I’ve been passionate about computers and game development for years. I’ve been involved in creating Roblox games for about five years now, contributing to several that have over a million visits.

I haven’t taken the SAT yet, but I plan to in the coming months. This year, I enrolled in four AP courses: AP Physics, AP French, AP Computer Science Principles, and AP Human Geography. Next year, I aim to take four more AP classes. Additionally, I’m currently working through Harvard’s CS50x Introduction to Computer Science course, and I plan to follow it up with the CS50x AI course.

Since UT Austin is one of my dream schools and my family lives nearby, I’m highly motivated to strengthen my application. I would appreciate any advice on how to boost my chances of getting accepted, particularly in building a strong computer science resume. I’m in the early stages of 11th grade, so I have time to improve and showcase my skills.

Thank you!

Ludovic
