To be considered for admission to the Cockrell School of Engineering, you must meet the school’s calculus readiness requirement. You can show calculus readiness by submitting one of the following:
* An ALEKS score of 80 or above (This is the preferred method for meeting the calculus readiness requirement.)
* An AB or BC Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus Test score of 3 or higher
* An International Baccalaureate (IB) HL or SL Mathematics score of 4 or higher
* An official college or university transcript showing credit for a college-level Calculus I (or higher) course with a grade of “C” or higher

<p>S applied to school of engineering and received a letter stating : "Because you're a leading applicant, we have good news about your admission to The University of Texas at Austin. Your excellent record allows us to guarantee your admission to UT Austin so that you can begin making plans for your enrollment."</p>

<p>He hasn't received the admission decision yet. Was he supposed to send his AP score card to prove his calculus readiness? Is it too late to submit it?</p>

<p>I had that same message and received my acceptance to engineering yesterday. I did not submit one of these methods as you can still go through the admissions process with a minimum math SAT score (I think it was in the 600’s somewhere). If you look on the calculus readiness page it says this. However, proof in one of the methods you listed must be submitted before enrollment. So don’t worry, I am sure you will find out soon. Hope this helps :)</p>
