Apply to cheaper OOS schools that have a tendency to accept OOS students. Don't apply to any programs that you wouldn't attend if it was your only acceptance.

I had SLIGHTLY higher DAT and GPA than you and I only applied to the 3 TX schools. If you think you're a solid candidate, apply early and apply in state and you should be good. It's slightly risky but I think you should be fine. My idea was to apply in state the first time around and then if I don't get in the first time, I'll apply to like 50 schools the next year. It's just expensive and tedious to apply to so many schools if you're a solid candidate, which I think you are.
