Thanks!
P.S. My first choice is Petroleum Engineering and second is Chemical</p>
<p>Also from a Texas Resident</p>
<p>They would prefer to see AP Science scores going into the college, and SAT Subject Tests never hurt to show your commitment, but I’d say you have a decent shot. However, it’s a competitive engineering program, so there’s no guarantee. You can definitely get into UT, you’re top 7%. I’d also apply to Texas A&M’s engineering school, as it ranks #2 in the United States for best Petroleum engineering programs, with UT as #1.<br>
Also, from being at UT over the summer, their non-honors dorms were awful. From all my family that’s attended UT: You’re just another number in the massive school. At A&M, they are known for doing a significantly better job at incorporating students and making the large college feel smaller. I read somewhere questionable that it was the happiest Public University in the United States.
Apply to both, see how it goes. Good luck either way! Just don’t go to Tech.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply!
I’ll definitely look into that.</p>
