Not looking so good for accounting in my opinion. Being an international makes it tough, plus your SAT is a little low.

@danfer91 Thank you for chancing me. Can you suggest some other schools in Texas for accounting where I may have a reasonable shot? I am also looking at Southern Methodist University.

Pretty much anywhere but UT and Rice. SMU is a very good accounting school. A&M is probably a little better and would be worth applying to. U of H is also a good school for accounting you would very likely be accepted to.
