• Answer:

  Last year there were 23,000 applicants for 8,000 openings in the freshman class. Most of those who were admitted came from the top 10% of their class. You don't say if you are a Texas state resident or not. If you aren't a resident, then you probably will NOT get in. What are your test scores like? (SAT/ACT) The rest of your resume looks really good -- long term committments (band, yearbook) plus leadership positions (band officer, drum major, NHI) plus volunteerism. I think it will boil down to how many of the states top 10%ers apply to Texas, then how many of those accept their 'acceptance.' Good luck and Hook 'Em!
