I can get accepted into A&M, what are my chances for UT?

Hello! I’m in the top 9% of my class (56 out of 635) and go to a semi-competitive school. I’m not sure what my unweighted GPA is since my school does it weighted which is a 106. Because of this, I can automatically get accepted into A&M. However, I feel like I’d fit in much better at UT. I understand that they’re both huge schools but I don’t feel like I’d fit into the cowboy boots and hats of A&M. I also feel as though UT is more liberal which could also be more fitting. I’d also prefer UT because their YoungLIfe program seems to be a lot larger and thats something i’d love to continue after starting that in high school. On the June ACT I received a 24 (22 on english was lowest, 26 on math wast the highest) I feel like if I retake it I could at least get a 26. I have lots of extracurriculars such as Student Council Parliamentarian, unity club, NHS, SHS, Behavior Management committee, cross country, among others.

The point is, do I have the slightest chance at getting through UT’s holistic review? I’m sorry this was completely scattered.
