<p>Texas A&M is a match? I'm sorry but do you live in Texas?</p>

4

<p>I live in Texas, and you might be screwed at UT Austin b/c of 10% rule. So make sure you write awesome essays and perhaps get a few rec letters, send resume, etc.</p>

<p>This might sound dumb, but i think you have a better shot at Rice lol.</p>

<p>I'm also from Texas, and you're in at all of them no prob with the exception of rice.</p>

<p>Kids at my school get into UT-Austin w/out being in the top 10% all the time. In fact, I think most of the kids that end up going to UT AREN'T in the top 10%.</p>

<p>I am looking at Cellular & Molecular Biology in the CAS.. I was first looking at the Plan II program but I realized it's very unrealistic. Do you think I have a strong chance in the CAS?</p>
