UT Austin Admissions

[combustiblecake]

There's probably many many threads on this. I'm looking into this school but I'm afraid of its competitiveness (at least in the Master's level). The reason I'm so interested in this school is because they have a M.A/Ph.D portion and there's actually a faculty member/lab I really want to do research with, it's also probably a few in the country that have what I'm looking for. I'm interested in bilingualism and SLI. 

 

Has anyone been admitted to this school with less than stellar stats, like mine? They said I needed to apply for PhD and not Master's level and if Asha EdFind is right, they admit at least half of their applicants. I would probably not apply this year and just get a second bachelor's instead to increase competitiveness.
