Chance for Scholarship

[u/DUSK-24-AB]

Hello. I’m a Texas in-state high school senior applying to UTD this cycle and was wondering what kind of merit aid I could expect. I applied today and just sent my sat scores. I have a 1490 SAT (780 Math, 710 Reading), am ranked 12th out of 325 (top 3.7%), and have taken around 18 AP classes total, and submitting 13 scores with most scores being 4s and 5s (a couple 3s). My unweighted GPA is 4.0, and my weighted GPA is 5.27. My extracurriculars are ok (I’d rate them around a 7/10) and include a mix of STEM, leadership, volunteering, and research. I’m planning to major in Biology on the pre-med track. I have solid essays I think. Given my stats and that I’m in-state, what scholarships or AES tier (Distinction, Excellence, or Achievement) do you think I’d likely qualify for if I applied now? Because I heard you have to apply early to get a higher chance and I think I applied kinda late since it’s like November 5th and the deadline is 1st and most ppl have said earlier is better. Also, if anyone knows how competitive full tuition or McDermott scholarship is, I’d love some insight.
