<p>Looking beyond the main UT and TAMU campuses, how about one of their branches? UTSA or UT Dallas, for example? UTSA is growing like crazy right now, with nice, new dorms and a cadre of top students who do grad and professional degrees at top universities. San Antonio is a young, dynamic city. UT Dallas is trying to build its reputation in the STEM area if that is of interest. It sounds like you would be admitted to any of these schools, and if your upward trend continues you would do quite well.</p>
<p>To go in a completely different direction, what about Texas Tech? </p>
