CHANCES FOR UT AUSTIN? Please help!

<p>I am a Texas resident. I have been accepted to A&M, and I know Austin is more competitive, but does getting into A&M mean I have a shot at UT Austin?
My major is Applied Learning and Development Early Childhood-6th grade...some know that as an Elementary Ed degree. </p>

<p>I got a 1950 on SAT and 29 ACT. I know those aren't exactly impressive, but they are both a bit higher than the averages for the College of Education.</p>

<p>I have decent activities. Tennis through school and outside, NHS, a few clubs I'm involved in (President of one of them) but I actually participate in them and tried to empathize that rather than some who just join to put it on their apps. Also have done outside of school volunteering. </p>

<p>My part time job is related to the education field. I work as a teacher's assistant. Tried to show that I truly want to be a teacher. </p>

<p>I had a Topic C essays speaking about some family and personal hardships.</p>

<p>Any chances whatsoever?</p>

<p>Also,</p>

<p>My topic A & B essays were pretty good in my opinion. My rec letters were also awesome. I have no clue if they can really make a difference, but both my teachers had really good things to say- I was actually kinda shocked. Definitely not the kind of letter they’d write to just anyone. Also, teachers of AP classes I have taken, if that could also be taken into consideration.</p>

<p>Yeah, I think you have a great shot! What is your GPA/class rank?</p>

<p>if your in top 10% you’re a match, 25% is a low-reach. GPA and Rank are what they care most about.</p>
