Any replies…please? I’ve heard it’s more difficult to get in if you’re out of state.

You are a review admit based on your rank and test scores so it is really impossible to tell because the pool of applicants is going to be different every year. I would suggest taking the SAT again or take the ACT to see if you can get the test scores necessary to be an automatic academic admit. Holistic review is very competitive and you will be competing with students that may fall just outside the top 25% but have better test scores.
