@GPAnonymity, good questions you ask as you think through options. One thing to note that sometimes doesn’t come up in conversations enough is: the most motivated students at Texas State (or any school) are equally competitive with those at even the most competitive universities in the country. UT Austin is a national school, ranked somewhere in just about everything. Texas State is a regional school that focuses on educating students with skills to propel life and careers. None of that really matters in the long run. You seem a highly motivated student, so on the surface, you would likely thrive at either school you choose. You also lose nothing in applying to both. Then you can visit both in more detail, see how each is a fit for you. You’ll do well at either school.
