None of us are fortune tellers. (If you want some other random high school kid to take a stab at it though, try the “What are my chances?” forum.)

If you can afford to pay for the full cost of attendance, and your SAT scores are at the 25th percentile, it’s worth applying.

I’d scratch the idea of a “safety” school from your mind. As an international applicant, you should have a back-up plan in your own country. You can’t even rely on getting a student visa… About 25% of student visa applications are denied, mostly because the visa applicant cannot convincingly demonstrate that they have no intention to immigrate. That’s virtually impossible to prove that for a young adult, so you’re at the mercy of your interviewer. (Older adults are more likely to have ties like a spouse and children, a home or a business that they own, etc.)

FYI, UT Austin has few spots for out-of-state students because they are by law required to offer admission to all graduates of Texas high schools that ranked in the top x% of their class.
