<p>Any help is appreciated. I am very worried so please help me out if you have some idea about the Cockrell School of Engineering. Thanks</p>

<p>I say you're in, no need to be worried. My friend got in and his stats were worse then yours.</p>

<p>DP</p>

<p>They will look at your rank and say you're in!</p>

<p>i see an acceptance letter coming your way. you have an extremely high chance of being admitted.</p>

<p>What about me? I have higher SAT/ACT (2110/34 Comp), but lower class rank (top 6.5%).</p>

<p>Quantize: Yeah 34 is not nearly high enough for our school of engineering. Maybe bring that SAT up to 2200 and get above 5%, otherwise your going to be a LA .</p>

<p>Its harder than IVY to get in!</p>

<p>^ you shouldnt be an ass to people that you <em>think</em> are just posting their amazing stats to put other people down. grow up.</p>

<p>to quantize: I believe you have a great chance of getting into that school. I am applying there myself...but my stats are much lower than urs (1200/1830 SAT and im waiting for my ACT scores). Am I jealous that you have a better chance than I? No. In fact, I congratulate you for the effort that you have put in to your academics. Not all of will get in, but I am not going to put myself down because I TRIED. Hope all goes well.</p>

<p>They probably aren't bragging, but how could they honestly not know if they were getting in or not. It would take a solid one minute to look at the average SAT score, and know that they are way above it.</p>

<p>the reason I posted was because of the process cockrell uses for admission. They start with the top 1%, then 2%, then 3%.. onto 10%, until they fill up 75% of the major. The last 25% are actually reviewed and judged evenly. So really, I was wondering if any one in between 6-7% had been accepted yet.</p>

<p>I'm 7% and i applied about two weeks ago...ill let you know when i receive an answer</p>

<p>@nintin and quantize: I was Top 17% with a 1970 SAT (1330 CR+M) and I got accepted to the School of Engineering a few weeks ago...so I don't see why you guys shouldn't.</p>

<p>i got accepted! top 7% 1950 SAT...</p>

<p>makes me feel my ACT last Saturday was a waste...i think i did well too</p>

<p>Congratulations I Hope UT!!! Looks like you got what you hoped for. I'm really happy for you. Hook 'Em!</p>

<p>That is worth remembering. "I Hope UT" applied in early October and was accepted into Cockrell in late October for Fall 2009 admission with a 1950 and a 7%.</p>

<p>This Cockrell question (how high your class rank must be and what test scores are needed) comes up often.</p>

<p>congrats I Hope UT! Yes Midwest Mom, very good information right there.</p>

<p>i wanted to clear something up..</p>

<p>when my dad went to UT (1980s i think), he said couldn't get into engineering until his junior year. So now he thinks I'm not officially in yet cause i'll have to do two years of general courses or something...</p>

<p>was it different back then than it is today?</p>

<p>Yes... but what major did you get into? I'm surprised you didn't get into Engineering with a 19XX and top 10%. Try transferring at orientation, I am not sure why you didn't get in.</p>

<p>i did get in...</p>

<p>i got in on Wednesday... now for the honors program!</p>
