You have done fantastic and would be great for UT. Unfortunately Texas has the 10% rule and UT tends to fill up with students that were in that group. I have heard of some stellar students that were not accepted. One of my neighbors had straight As, but didn't make the top 10%. She ended up going to Auburn.





One of my coworkers was accepted without being in the top10%, in part because she was in the band and was good enough to make the UT band.





Overall, I would guess you some chance of getting in, but not great. Make sure you have a plan B. There are so many students in your situation that we had 200 colleges recruiting students here at the local college fair. You might look at some of the best programs in neighboring states. I know LSU and Louisiana Tech have some great programs. You will get out-of-state fee waivers and scholarship offers. It's likely to be cheaper to go there than to stay in Texas.
