<p>Yes, you have a good chance of admission. Go for it.</p>

3

<p>I'd say you have about a 50/50 chance...have you considered UF? It's much cheaper for you and pretty comparable to UT.</p>

4

<p>Hispanic with those scores- much better than 50% chance!</p>

5

<p>I am not considering UF on account of my extreme dislike with Gainesville. Austin is a much more vibrant city and probably a better place to learn the ropes of my desired major, economics. Because of my status as a National Hispanic Scholar, if I am accepted to UT I can pay the cost of in-state tuition plus I'd receive a scholarship of $1,000/yr, so it would be just as cost efficient as attending UF.</p>

<p>MomofWildChild,
Texas certainly isn't at a loss for hispanic students...
(17% Hispanic)</p>

7

<p>It doesn't have that many with the kind of scores the OP has.</p>

8

<p>I think it is 4% from out of state. This is because Texas has to admit so many students due to the top 10% rule. It is VERY hard to get in out of state.</p>

10

<p>with 21% class rank and being out of state, plus good but not great SATs I would put it on your list as a match or possibly even a slight reach. definantly don't consider it a safety</p>
