<p>Your EC’s are pretty good if you want to major in international business since you’re president and VP of two language/ethnic clubs.
Because you’re going to be considered as Hispanic, it is a little bit of a plus because you’re a minority versus being Asian or white.
Although some people here will tell you your ACT of 29 is bad, I think it’s pretty good but did you retake it again this month? Because having a 30 would make your resume look even better if you raise it by a point.
Your AP scores would be more valuable for honors college but it still helps.
Overall your stats are good but unfortunately 75% of UT’s freshman come from the automatic admission so the acceptance rate of non auto admits is about 25%. You would be competing with people that from out of state schools as well.
Right now, I would really work on my essays if I were you since it is an important factor for non auto admits.</p>

<p>I don’t think ethnicity plays a major role in admission at UT. Your class rank is low by UT standards, so I suspect you will probably get CAP’d and admitted a year later.</p>
