UT is not particularly competitive to get into if you're going for a regular liberal arts degree, and your extracurriculars seem to be very good. The school is so big, that there is room to let a lot of people in. There is the slight possibility of spots filling up because of the 10% rule, but even so, there are ways to get it by doing the probationary summer semester, or starting at Austin Community College which has a direct transition to UT if you have the grades. And make sure you get the Texas residency, tuition is sooooo much more affordable that way.
