Hello, I am just wondering. What are my chances to get into UT Engineering, specifically Electrical Engineering? I am currently a high school senior in state.
New SAT: 1200 (560 ERW, 640 Math)
Rank: 14/131
GPA: 3.92 UW, 4.16 W
8 AP Classes: AP Human Geo, AP World History, AP Chem, AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Calculus AB, AP US History, AP Spanish Language and Culture
Extracurriculars and Achievements:
-Play at least 10 hours a week of soccer competitively (USSDA Member) and travel constantly where I have gotten personal achievements such as being invited to state and national wide combines.
Seeing as you’re very close to the top 10% in your class, you have a good shot at it. I also applied to UT Austin for Electrical Engineering (albeit as Out-Of-State) but ended up going somewhere else because dang, that OOS tuition is intense.
Your GPA seems fine and 8 AP classes is pretty challenging; do you have any AP scores to share? Your SAT could be a little higher though (mine was about 1550 on the new SAT scale).
Do you have any extracurricular activities related to EE? If not, it may be hard to convey an engineering interest to the admissions department. I was very active in my high school’s robotics club and used that as an integral part of my admissions essays.
