<p>Would really appreciate it if anyone could give me some input on my chances for either Mechanical or Petroleum Engineering at UT Austin. Thanks!</p>
<p>Rank: 7 out of 433 (top 2%)
SAT: 1400 (CR & M)
Decent ECs; 2 years of varsity football and soccer are main things
Will have completed 9 AP courses and all other honors courses offered.
4 years of foreign language(not sure if that helps)
AP Scholar</p>
<p>Let me know what you guys think, thanks again!</p>
<p>I am an in-state senior by the way, forgot to add that</p>
<p>bumppppppp</p>
<p>bump bumpp</p>
<p>I am an applicant myself, so i dont think i have the best answer. But anyways, according to me, and what my friends have been saying you should easily get into mechanical engineering in UT but I heard that petroleum engineering was extremely difficult. But you still have a shot for petroleum, but safety is mechanical for sure. I got a 32 on my ACT which equates to around a 1420/1600 and am ranked 2.7% so i guess we have similar stats. However i applied for electrical engineering and chemical and i have heard that electrical is one of the easier majors to get admission</p>
<p>I’ve heard Petroleum is more competitive as well but as long as I get accepted into one of them I’ll be happy, thanks for your input! Anyone else know my shot at Petroleum engineering?</p>
<p>Yeah, youre in both in my opinion.
There is the automatic acceptance for the school because youre top 8% on top of the fact that you have 700’s in both CR and M on the SAT I truely believes confirms that you’ll get into the school of your choice. </p>
<p>It is more competitive, but a lot of people are coming in with considerably lower scores and GPA. </p>
<p>If youre not in then I worry about my chances of getting in UT Business.
But its ok, cause you are.</p>
<p>Ok well that is all very reassuring, thanks to both of you guys for your input</p>
<p>May i ask what your GPA out of a 4 was?</p>
<p>Im not sure what it is on a 4 point scale but it is a 101.33 weighted</p>
<p>Have you heard back from your major?</p>
<p>No I actually haven’t finalized my application (I Know I know, I’m a procrastinator), everything is done I just have to submit my essays which are already written, probably will do it tonight. So yeah I haven’t heard anything obviously haha, what about you??</p>
