Congratulations on all of your hard work and achievements! It will leave you with many options come the spring of your senior year.

You definitely stand as good a chance as anyone for the very selective (or rejective) colleges. Unfortunately, there are far more qualified applicants than there are spots. Thus, the vast majority of students who receive denial letters are eminently qualified with really impressive backgrounds.

Since you will have guaranteed admission to UT-Austin and Texas A&M, you’re in a great spot. You only need to find universities that you would prefer to attend over these. What’s the budget? Any preferences with respect to what you want your college life to be like? (Size, area of the country, Greek life, importance of sports, urban/suburban/rural, the vibe, etc.)
