He has a shot, so it's worth a try. UT Austin is an excellent school, and if he's in-state he should try his best to get in. The good news is that he can always transfer in by starting at a lesser known school, or a community college s long as he does well and it won't affect his chances at dentistry school that much. So all hope is not lost if he doesn't get in, it just means he'll hae to start somewhere else and trytransferringg in. There's nothing wrong with doing that because most employers and grad schools only look at where you got your degree from, not where you started. He should just keep his chin up and don''tgive upp on Austin if he doesn'tmakee the first cut because he can always try again. Good luck to him.I'm worried about my son, is he alright?
Why do you feel the need to ask this EXACT SAME QUESTION SEVEN TIMES ??
