<p>Hey guys, I've been into geology and energy production since I was a kid. I realllllyyyyyyy want to be a petroleum engineer, but understand the rigorous admissions process of UT's PGE program. However, after much research, I have concluded I am an average applicant. Is this a true assertion? Thanks guys, and Hook 'EM.</p>
