<p>I am applying to the Cockrell School of Engineering, but I have not met the recommended requirements for the calculus readiness. I have an SAT math score of 710 so I will be "able to continue through the admissions process" but I was wondering what the chances of me not being accepted were if I do not meet it by the deadline?</p>
<p>I am currently ranked 9/501 and I have a weighted GPA of 3.969 and a weighted GPA of 5.122.</p>
<p>Last semester I missed the deadline and I did not get in. It was unfortunate because I had a 3.97 GPA, and tons of extracirricular activities. You have to ask for an appeal, and explain why you did not meet the deadline, but it is highly unlikely that it will maike any difference.</p>
<p>I believe you can take the ALEKS test to satisfy the calculus readiness requirement. It is online, you can take it anytime.</p>
<p>yeah take the ALEKS test online. its only $10 and all you need to get is 80 points out of I believe 182 or so. With your 710 SAT, you should easily be able to get 140+ points</p>
<p>Can’t you send AP scores? I think you only need a 3 or above on the BC Calc exam.</p>
<p>I don’t know about Engineering, but in Natural Sciences they still make you take the ALEKS even if you have AP credit. They say that even students with BC Calc usually score poorly on the logarithm portion, so make sure you review that before taking the ALEKS.</p>
<p>SAC2UT - Are you stating you were denied because you didn’t take the ALEKS by the application deadline even though you had met the other criteria (SAT Math/SAT Subject/AP scores)? I have concerns about this because UT explicitly states the ALEKS is not required to be admitted as long as other criteria are met. </p>
<p>My son is top 5% and has a 36 ACT math score. He is currently in AP Calc BC and making solid As. But he is extremely busy (Band is making a hard run at UIL state marching competition and Region/Area Band tryouts are also coming up). He likely won’t take the ALEKS until after Xmas. Would UT hold his application and not admit him to Cockrell until they receive his ALEKS…or as SAC2UT suggests, deny him Cockrell altogether?</p>
<p>ldmom06: UT will allow him to “continue on” with his application process as long as he has “A SAT I Math score of at least 600 or an ACT Math score of at least 26 or documentation of concurrent enrollment in dual credit pre-calculus or calculus” - [Engineering</a> | Freshmen | Be a Longhorn](<a href=“http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/freshmen/admission/majors/engineering/]Engineering”>http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/freshmen/admission/majors/engineering/)
The ALEKS test is only the preferred method of proving calculus readiness; an applicant can still receive credit through an AP test. I believe the deadline for the ALEKS test is the friday of the first week of school, so there is plenty of time. Disregard my first post, the 80 “points” the test is referring to is 80% correct, so about 145/182 on the ALEKS test score report.</p>
<p>Sorry for the confusion. I am applying as a college transfer student. I had met all the Calculus requirements, but the transcript from my college arrived late. Due to this I did not get in. My point was, just that if you need to prove calculus readiness, be sure to follow the guidelines carefully.</p>
