<p>I am applying to Mechanical Engineering as my first choice and Physics as my 2nd. I know my chances are slim for engineering, but tell me what you think for both of my choices.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>My son applied 2 years ago - top 20% of his class, approx 2100 SAT, applied to college of Natural Sciences - did not get in. If you are not in the top 7-9% of your class assume UT is a reach. If you are interested in business or engineering assume it is a very very tough reach. Look into A&M - in my mind it is now a better school than UT (my father was a Dean at UT and I graduated from UT). If you are set on UT consider CAP, but it is very difficult to get into engineering from CAP.</p>

<p>Thank you for the advice. If anyone else has an opinion I would appreciate it greatly!</p>

<p>Low reach. If you’re in-state you should think of applying to UH or Texas State; they’re both good schools as well. </p>

<p>Low reach/high match. They might look upon your situation as a unique one, never know. Also you could always transfer in via UTSA or other affiliated schools. Some of my friends did that.</p>
