What is your state of residence? If it is Texas, and you are applying for fall 2021, and you are in the top 6% of your class, you should have automatic admission to UT Austin.

Yes I live in Texas. I am guaranteed into the school, but not into the desired major of engineering. I was curious about my chances into that.

Everything is hit and miss, but being a Texas resident will carry a huge weight in the decision. The problem is which Engineering major and the number of openings that will be available. Make sure you have a good second major lined up.

Even though you are auto admit and are applying to engineering, do not neglect your essays. Give yourself enough time for writing and editing and put a lot of thought into them.

If I wanted to change my major to Computer Science, could I go into college with zero coding experience, or is previous experience recommended?
