Ut austin as out of state student

<p>I applied to the Business school McCombs and I'm from California. My grades are high, but not exceptionally high (4.2 gpa, 2120 sats, top 9% of senior class, 400 hrs community service). because im not from texas, will this REALLY hurt my chances of getting in? should i be optimistic or is there a very very very slim chance ill get in because of the 10% rule.</p>

<p>also, because im not from texas, i dont know what other forms to send in. does anybody know if i have to send in a mid yr report or anything like that?</p>

<p>and when should i be expecting a reply? i know the official reply deadline in mid march but some schools reply much earlier; is texas one of them?</p>
