Chance for Electrical Engineering?

<p>I'm a bit nervous because I was not in the top 8% last semester and I haven't heard back yet, though many of my friends have.

Thank you so much!</p>

<p>My son is a current ChE major. He was told in a class that the UT Engineering department does not do rolling admissions. However, I recall posts on this forum that other applicants to an engineering majors reported they were accepted. I don’t quite know what to make of that.</p>

<p>I don’t think they have completely decided who is going to be accepted into the class of 2017. The decisions will be released in February – my son found out in late February last year.</p>

<p>You have no choice but to wait.</p>

<p>EE might not be as popular major as some of the others. You have good test scores, especially with that ACT. Good chances. Hope you get it!</p>

<p>lisiatc: After hearing this I feel so much better. I’m a bit surprised about how much longer we have to wait, but I’m happy that it’s not rolling admissions.</p>

<p>Xcellerator: I’ve heard that EE is actually one of the more popular majors, but also easier to get into than BME or CheE. I’m really hoping my test scores can boost me, though I’m not sure UT looks at AP exams. Thanks!</p>

<p>I know first-hand a couple of students who got their acceptance decisions to ChemE a couple of weeks ago. They are in the top 2%, though.</p>

<p>It appears that the ChE admin tells the students one thing when something else is actually done. I wonder what other misinformation they passed along. It was supposed to be an informative class.</p>

<p>Or perhaps they have decided to do it a bit differently this year? But I believe most of the acceptances will still be offered in February.</p>
