<p>I am currently a senior in a very competetive high school. I am in the top 26%, but have a lot of volunteer hours and leadership positions. I also scored a 33 on my ACT. If I write a great college essay, what are my chances getting into UT or Texas A&M? I am applying for the engineering school for both the universities. My first choice of engineering was chemical engineering.</p>
<p>any comments will be highly appreciated. Thank you.</p>
