What are my chances at getting into UT Austin, Texas A&M, or Texas Tech?

I have a 4.07 gpa for sophomore and junior years, 3.83 including freshmen year. I first took the SAT last month and scored 1870 on it. I am a second degree black belt and had a lot of extracurricular stuff having to do with that (although i had to quit freshmen year). As far a community service goes, well i'm working on it although i have at least 100 undocumented hours from the martial arts. I'm in my schools philosophy club. Also i will be doing hundreds of hours of an internship with southern california edison at a nuclear powerplant throughout my whole senior year. Problem is i live and have lived in california my whole life (hence the socal edison internship). So why would i be looking at Texas schools? I am deadset on petroleum engineering and the best programs are with these two schools. I know they get most of their students with the top ten percent texas schools thing. So as a californian, is it a good possibility i could get in?

Death or hibernation?

I'm sorry, it sounds like he died. Try picking him up because if he doesn't move then he's definitely gone. I love hampsters, I've had 5 through my childhood. The oldest lived to be 6. They never went into hibernation.

I'm a medival based RPG fiend... Does anyone out there have any suggestions about a new one to try?

Ever since Baldur's Gate/Baldur's Gate II, I've been hooked. I tried WoW and got hooked. After a year, I quit it. I bought Dragon Age II. I liked it. Then backtracked and bought Dragon Age Origins (and its expansion. LOVED Origins! Reminded me most of the BG series). I'm looking at Dungeon Siege III. Should I start with 1 and 2? Is this series on PS3? Thanks in advance for the suggestions.
