Reach, match, and safety schools in texas for me

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am starting my senior year of high school. I wanted to get a few opinions on what schools in texas (I live there) would be reaches, low reach, high match, match, etc. for someone with my stats. (I want to go into engineering)</p>

<p>SAT (2nd time):
Math-760
Reading-750
Writing740</p>

<p>I've taken all advanced and honors classes my entire high school career.</p>

<p>AP classes:
Chem.
Physics C
APLAC
APUSh
APCalc
APStats
AP Gov/Econ</p>

<p>My extracurricular are a bit lacking though:
Robotics club (2 years)
Band (4 years)
Church youth group leadership
200+ hours of volunteer work
NHS (inducted junior year) </p>

<p>My class rank is what really holds me back from the schools I want to get into (UT or <em>shudder</em> A&M) I'm 80/485
My GPA is 3.72 UW</p>

<p>I'm kind of shy so I don't know any of my teachers well enough to get great letters of rec. (any advice on this would be appreciated as well) </p>

<p>Thanks for any and all input (:
p.s. my GPA has somewhat of an upward trend f-98.0 s-95.2 j-101ish
Sorry if this post was really long</p>

<p>UT will be a reach, especially the Engineering program.</p>

<p>You are guaranteed admission at A&M due to your class rank and SAT scores. That doesn’t, however, guarantee that you will get into the Engineering program at A&M, but I would think you stand a decent chance (based on students I know in Engineering there).</p>

<p>Texas Tech, University of Houston and UT-Dallas all have strong Engineering programs.</p>
