<p>Yeah, I think you've got a very good chance. You've got decent academics, but the band stuff seals the deal.</p>

<p>However...I have heard that it is very difficult to get into UT from in-state if you are not top 10% because of the law granting automatic admission to the Top 10%...I'm not from Texas, so check with somebody who is...But this is what I've heard...</p>

<p>gpa's way too low for ut</p>
