<p>I'm out of state going to a competitive public high school, I work hard but don't sit at the top of my class. I am a junior and am expecting to add a few more leadership positions before I apply (will be mentioned). My main question is, do I stand a chance?</p>

<p>I think you have a really good chance. Your GPA is not the best, and UT usually likies OOS students to be in the top 10% of their classes, but your extracurriculars and leadership positions probably will make up for it. Also, try your hardest to write kick a** essays that will help you stand out even more. GOOD LUCK!</p>
