Your gpa and class rank would kill you at UT.

Agree with Grainraiser. UT is a stickler for rank and it will hurt you, even if you are NMSF or F. Have you received your SAT scores yet? You could be auto admit if your sub scores are at the minumum. That will get you into A&M. What might hurt you getting into engineering is even though you have had the PLTW classes, you are not calculus ready. You really need to do something over summer (can you take AB in summer school) so you can take BC as a Senior. You will be expected to hit the ground running in Calculus and having AB. you will struggle.
