My chances with falling GPA and medium ACT

The problem is that Texas public universities admit based on rank.
Not being top 10 or top 20% limits your choices among these, whereas private universities will be able to be more holistic.

Anyway, here are possibilities:
-Your ACT means automatic qualifications for TTU (you’re above the required class rank+ ACT score combination already). Run the NPC: if it’s affordable, you have a safety. You can apply through ApplyTexas on July1.
-You"re also assured admission (class rank+ score) at UHouston for CS as long as you meet their subject requirements, which I assume you do. You’d also have a shot at Honors College.
-UTD for CS is going to be a reach and you wouldn’t qualify for merit scholarships, however the program is highly sought after by employers so it may be worth applying.
-UT-SA is a safety, guaranteed admission even for CS and great shot at Honors College and Distinguished Scholarship (despite the discrepancy between class rank and score, I think it’s a good bet and at UT-SA it really helps). Good program in cybersecurity.
