<p>Hello,
I was just wondering what my chances would be if I wanted to transfer into UT Austin's Cockrell Engineering School, in particular, Petroleum Engineering.
Right now I am currently going to Collin College (Community College) and I am maintaining a GPA of 4.0.</p>
<p>Background: I graduated from High School on 2011, and finished in the top quarters. I joined the Army Reserves, and now I'm back to go back to school. I haven't touched math since 2011, therefore I'm in College Algebra right now. </p>
<p>I'm planning to submit my transfer by Spring of 2015, after taking Calc I and Calc II here at my Community College. Right now I'm in College Algebra, but i'm studying Trig and Pre-Calc on my own to get placed in Calc I by next semester by taking the accuplacer test.</p>
<p>The classes I've taken so far are:
ENGL 1301, GOVT 2301, HIST 1301, HUMA 1301, ECON 2301, GEOL 1403, GOVT 2306, MATH 1314 With a 4.0 GPA
Future classes I'm planning to take:
Calc I, Calc II, General Chem I, II, </p>
<p>How good are my chances if i maintain my 4.0 GPA, and what other recommendations are there to secure my chances of getting admitted?</p>
<p>Hi Yoonislimbo.</p>
<p>Thank you for your service in the military!</p>
<p>It’s good news that you are applying to UT’s Petroleum engineering program. </p>
<p>I am guessing you are a sophomore at Collin College (started Fall 2012). </p>
<p>The chances of you transferring with a 4.0 GPA puts you at a great advantage.</p>
<p>But you should also focus on making the other components of your application look good (ex. Essays, Resume)</p>
<p>Also, engineering majors can only transfer for the fall semester.</p>
<p>The minimum to transfer to UT Austin is 30 transferrable credit hours. </p>
<p>Be sure to check on UT’s transfer equivalency website to see which classes transfer over.</p>
<p>Transferring engineering majors need to meet the calculus readiness requirement. [Cockrell</a> School of Engineering | Be a Longhorn](<a href=“http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/transfer/admission/majors/engineering]Cockrell”>http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/transfer/admission/majors/engineering)</p>
<p>I advise you to take Calculus I and II at Collin College.</p>
<p>If your schedule permits, I recommend to take also Physics I and Physics II at Collin College.</p>
<p>Here is the information to transferring to UT Austin. [Transfer</a> Admission | Be a Longhorn](<a href=“http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/transfer/admission]Transfer”>http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/transfer/admission)</p>
<p>I had a friend who transferred from another 4-year university in Texas (Texas Tech) to UT Austin and got accepted into their Mechanical Engineering program.</p>
<p>He applied with a 4.0 GPA and did all of the requirements.</p>
<p>So if you keep it up, you too can make it in.</p>
<p>As of this year, UT Austin’s Petroleum Engineering program is ranked #1.</p>
