<p>I’d say you have a very good shot. Only thing I could see hurting would be your lack of leadership positions and schedule, but if your school is small- there may not be many AP classes available. Retaking you SAT to up your math couldn’t hurt, but I believe UT looks at SAT score w/ writing now.</p>

<p>Good luck! Currently doing an internship in the Engineering school now and it’s great!</p>
