One more comment on the essay:
It would be very advantageous for you to discuss aspects of UT that make you a "good fit" for the institution. That is, why do you want to go to UT out of all places? If it's your first choice, mention that too.
Universities tend to be more enthusiastic about students who are enthusiastic about them. It's good for their stats if a high percentage of accepted students end up attending.
