So I heard that CAP at UT Tyler doesn’t help with admission to UT Austin if you want to major in any sort of Engineering due to its competitive nature. Is it true that I would be better off to just go to a different school that offered me scholarships and transfer out to UT Austin?
Straight from UT: “admission to some majors is highly competitive. If your goals clearly point to one of our most competitive majors, you should consider attending a college or university where your pathway to your desired major is more certain.”
I would enroll in a university in which you would feel comfortable staying for the entire 4 years, with a possibility of transferring to Cockrell.
Yes, you’d be better off going to a different school, especially if it offered you a scholarship.
This way, if you apply to transfer to UT and get in, you’re good, but if you dont transfer you’re still ok.
