At 1720:

UT-Austin: Reach
UT-Dallas: Match
UH: Low match
A&M: High match

At 1950 (I take the median):

UT-Austin: Low reach (high match at 2100 since GPA is a little low)
UT-Dallas: Safety
UH: Safety
A&M: Low match (safety at 2100)

About UT-CAP: you might have a chance at UT-Tyler, Brownville, El Paso, Panamerican or Permian Basin but, if 59% means you're above 59% of the class, you might have a chance for the other participating campuses.
