<p>@pixeljig: your inbox is full, but here’s the answer to honors housing.</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, after acceptance to honors, they’ll mail you a letter to give you the option to live in the Honors Quad (Andrews, Blanton, and Carothers). But if your son doesn’t not receive it, you should call to find out. The atmosphere at north campus is starkly different (intellectual and academic) than that of the Jester side (parties).</p>
<p>^^ thank you.</p>
<p>Would these dorms be closer to the Engineering buildings then?</p>
<p>yeah, besides Simkins, the honors quad is the closest. The engineering buildings are like 2 blocks downhill on Dean Keeton.</p>
<p>do u think i can make Cockrell

<p>Can i get into Cockrell (or McCombs)</p>
<p>I’m a little confused. I was accepted into the school (via 10% rule), but not the major I wanted, mechE. When I was comparing stats. mine exceeded anything they listed. I was just wondering how and who decides entrance into the engineering school?</p>
<p>75% of the slots are filled by class rank. First top 1%, then 2%, etc. The remaining 25% of the spaces are filled after a holistic review (test scores, advanced math and science classes, engineering-related ECs, essay, etc.). University Admissions places students into each major, not someone from Cockrell. The listed stats are minimums, not norms.</p>
<p>I was looking around my UT account and I noticed that I accidentally listed Engineering as my second choice (to physics). Would this have been an issue in admissions, because I was looking at the engineering website and it said engineering should be listed first… :/</p>
<p>Should I talk to admissions about this?</p>
<p>I got accepted into Cockrell school of engineering as an architectural engineering student and was wondering if anyone knew what my first two years of courses would look like other than my major associated courses? That was worded awkwardly, what I mean is what courses like English and History classes would I be required to take for my major? also, what in the world does OOS mean? I’m probably an idiot for not realizing what it means but everyone keeps referencing it.</p>
<p>And five seconds after posting that I realized it means out of state. I now feel like an idiot. aha.</p>
<p>Default - Yes, it probably made a huge difference. Engineering (as well as McCombs) makes it clear that you must put them as your first choice to be considered for admittance. You can call admissions and tell them you made a mistake. It may not do any good, but it can’t hurt, either. If they won’t change it, just do really well in your classes and try for an internal transfer as soon as possible.</p>
<p>kgor - here is the course outline for your degree plan:</p>

<p>You should read what is on the Arch E website, there is alot of info!</p>

<p>I’m a female interested in pursuing engineering (non-specified field as of yet)…buuut, I hear that engineering is often over ran by males. In the Cockrell School of engineering what sort of atmosphere will I be exposed to? (Friendly, sexist, close-knit, etc)</p>
<p>Thank you for your time!</p>
<p>Bottlecap, i was a female engineering student back in the early 80s, and even then I had NO problem at Cockrell. Especially now, it’s not like you’re going to be the only girl! I had friends of both sexes in my classes. It’s a wonderful school, and you’d like it there. If you have specific questions, feel free to send me a message.</p>

<p>Applied as transfer to ChE. Wanted your take on the program, and whether you would choose UT/A&M. Got into Berkeley, but OOS is $50,000. What classes have you taken so far as an undergrad for ChE, and how are the counselors at helping you get into the right classes?</p>
<p>How difficult are the freshman courses for ChemE? Honors ChemE? With BC Calc and AP Chem credit? Math is kind of hard for me though, my Math SAT was in the upper 600s, which I fear may be a little low for engineering.</p>
<p>Upper 600s isn’t bad at all. That’s above the average for incoming engineering students.</p>
<p>I have a sister who is going to be entering high school next year and she has expressed some interest in engineering (petro.) any tips on what classes she should take and what she can do to maybe get to UT one day?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone…</p>
<p>I was wondering if a 3.5 was good enough to get for petroleum engineering…
I taking 19 hours now, and took 16 last semester (Hard Course LOAD)
Good standing resume and essays and letter of recs
I taking even the same projected courses as PE students at UT at UTSA
There aren’t people who applied for PE specially at UTSA that I found out, me and maybe 3 others, all the others are ME,EE,BME… so does that give me an advantage?
plz let me know my chances…</p>
<p>Is it difficult to transfer into Cockrell from a Texas CC with a 4.0 or 3.9 GPA?
Are chances improved if I apply for transfer having already completed an AS degree?</p>
