UT Liberal Arts College Transfer Advice

I am currently a student at Houston Community College

Basically I have decided to transfer into the Liberal Arts college as an Anthropology major for a few reasons.

1) I've taken many Liberal Arts-related classes
2) I heard it's the easiest school to transfer into
3) I can transfer to another college internally after I finalize my major

After checking out my latest transcript, my GPA is actually a 3.2 and I have 15 cred hours

The courses I have taken are:
GOVT 2301 - Amer Gov Nat/Sta/Local I
ECON 2301 - Macroeconomics
ANTH 2351 - Cultural Anthropology
PSYC 2301 - Intro to Psychology
ENGL 1301 - Composition I

^ These courses gave me a 3.2 ^

The courses I am currently taking are:
MATH 1314 - College Algebra
ENVR 1301 - Environmental Science
GOVT 2304 - Intro to PoliSci
HIST 1301 - U.S. History to 1877
GOVT 2302 - Amer Gov Nat/Sta/Local II

If I make all A's and a B (because I suck at math), I will have a 3.4 and 30 cred hours

I have printed out a Recommended Courses For Transfer guide for the Liberal Arts college and so far I will have knocked at least one for each discipline apart from Foreign Language and Math (because 1314 counts as an elective).

My intended schedule for next semester is:

ENGL 1302 - Composition II
BIOL 1406 - General Biology I
SPAN 1411 or 2311
MATH 1324 - Finite Math
and maybe one more class

Do you think my chances of getting in are pretty good?
If not, what do you recommend I take/do?

I plan on getting a few letters of recs from my Anthropology prof. and maybe a Govt prof.

Also, I heard UT is really into student activities, so I might have to get involved with some organizations at HCC.

The deadline for Fall 2010 is March 1st, and I still gotta write the essays, compile a resume, and do all the other dirty work.

My boyfriend thinks that I should be set, but I'm just worried about my chances because I've never gone through the process of writing an admissions essay...

What do you think?
