MY HS is one of the top 5 public schools in my state, New Jeresy</p>

<p>your chances are not very good.......because you are out of state and the business school is the hardest to get in at Texas.</p>

<p>Well, your grades are good, and your extracurriculars are extremely impressive. At most schools, I would say you stood a great chance. </p>

<p>However, applying from out-of-state to UT is intense, especially to the business school. The vast majority of spaces are reserved for Texas residents, so you have to be an insanely qualified student. Unfortunately, since Texas is a behemoth public university, they tend to look primarily at the numeric side of things and ignore the awards and activities. And your scores, which would practically guarantee you admission if you lived in Texas, might not be quite high enough for an out-of-stater. </p>

<p>I wouldn't count on an acceptance, but you do stand some chance. Maybe the admissions committee will look at something more important than mere numbers for once. </p>

<p>I hope this helps. Good luck!</p>
