<p>I think its easy IMO. My friends who wasn’t ranked in the top 10% of my class went to a Texas CC got around a 3.8-3.9 and got into Cockrell in the BME program</p>
<p>How difficult is it to internal transfer into CpE or EE from Undergraduate Studies?</p>
<p>It’s easy, huh? Well, that is truly encouraging news.</p>
<p>Oh, and I guess I should’ve mentioned it in my first post, but what do you guys know about the Petroleum Engineering program? I noticed there isn’t much talk about that in this thread…</p>
<p>I got into BME from Texas A&M. Not necessarily easy. It all depends on the person. At a CC, it’s definitely easier. Try doing it at a 4-year university.</p>
<p>hey, i have a question
is Chemical Engineering hard to get into?
I got an ACT score of a 32
Math 36
Writing 32
Reading 30
Science 30
Top 2% of my class of like 600
My SAT isn’t that great, but I was wondering what are the standards going into UT Honors for engineering
Also, does the College Now course (dual-credit) courses count for UT? It’s through HCC (Houston)</p>
<p>I am a 17year old high school senior attending a AAAAA school in Georgia. Other stats:</p>
<p>Taken all AP/gifted classes in math and science: made a 5/5 as a junior in AP Calculus BC. I’m taking AP Chemistry, AP Physics II, AP Stat, etc. this year as a senior.</p>
<p>SAT - Math 760; Verbal - 610. I am retaking in October in hopes of improving my score. Left ONE blank on the math and got dinged 40 points - didn’t miss a single question, so hoping for an 800 next try.</p>
<p>GPA - 3.5 - b/c I goofed off my freshman and first part of my sophomore years. I’ve had all A’s with the exception of 2 high B’s since the later part of my sophomore, junior and senior years.</p>
<p>Member of Mu Alpha Theta; Science Olympiad; Math Team; Lettered in Golf and received Academic Scholar awards.</p>
<p>I just got declined by UT’s engineering school from CHE and BME 
I am in the top 1% and made a 1980 on my SAT. They put me in UGS, but I would really like to know why I was rejected and perhaps have them recheck my admission status, is that even possible? I know some other people who’s rank and SAT scores are lower than me but was accepted into the engineering program…what can I do now? HELP :(</p>
<p>utrocks, the same thing happened to me, except top 2.3% and 2120 SAT, 34 ACT</p>
<p>Hey guys, sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, ChemE and BME are the two most selective majors in Cockrell. The School of Engineering does not have its own ‘Engineering Undeclared’ option, so if you are not accepted in to either major then you are rejected from Cockrell as a whole. </p>
<p>Sometimes you can pull some strings during orientation if you beg enough, but otherwise you can apply for a transfer in to ChemE after your first semester or in to BME after your first year. </p>
<p>@utrocks, while top 1% is a great rank, a 1980 SAT is below average. </p>
<p>@jhigha, if you did not get in to either BME or ChemE with a 34 ACT and top 2.3% rank then this year must have been extra competitive. I would have predicted that you’d get in to at least one of the two, assuming that the rest of your application was on par with your numbers.</p>
<p>If i got rejected from ME and Civil-E and got placed into UGS, is it possible to take ME courses before i transfer into ME such as ME 205 or ME 302? And also, does it ever happen that people who applied to engineering that were at first rejected become accepted later on because of people who declined the offer of admission?</p>
<p>^I’m curious about that too. (Second question) A good friend of mine got put into UGS as well when he applied for engineering school. I’m still in shock. :/</p>
<p>Bumpbumpbump</p>
<p>What you are describing is a wait list and I do not believe that Cockrell employs a wait list. And if they did, they would certainly let you know if you were on it.</p>
<p>If that’s true…then poop. 
frever, are you sure about Cockrell not having a waitlist?</p>
<p>Things change, and I’m basing what I say off of what I’ve heard as a sophomore, so my info may be outdated. I’ve just never heard of anybody being wait listed to Cockrell before. And as I said above, no school ever puts you on a wait list without letting you know.</p>
<p>I was also rejected by the BME department and got put into CNS - bio. How feasible would it be for me to transfer into Aerospace Engineering at Cockrell. I was top 2% of my class 33 ACT, 2130 SAT and took a rigorous course load in high school</p>
<p>Once you get in to college, high school credentials largely fade away. Transfers will be based on what you accomplish here (i.e. GPA).</p>
<p>Take a look at this page: [Internal</a> Transfer / Change of Major - Cockrell School of Engineering](<a href=“Undergraduate Education”>Undergraduate Education)</p>
<p>What likelihood is there that I can do that before the first day of school? If that’s possible at all,</p>
<p>I got in as a physics major (at school of natural science). How hard would it be for me to transfer to be a chemical engineer?</p>
<p>So I have a dumb question (or two).</p>
<p>I was admitted to the Electrical Engineering program. I believe that’s the same as the Computer Engineering program. Is this right? It would make sense since a lot of my extracurrics were computer related. And on the Cockrell website it’s listed as ‘Electrical & Computer Engineering’.</p>
<p>Anyway, to be completely honest I’m not exactly sure what motivated me to put this as my second choice major (I was rejected from CNS biology). My main goal is to attend medical school after college. And while I would like to take some computer classes during my time at UT, I’m more interested in Computer Science than I am Computer Engineering.</p>
<p>So I’m considering pursuing two routes:
- Transfer to CNS, major in biology and/or computer science
- Transfer to BME, take some computer science courses along with medical pre-reqs</p>
<p>Would one of these be significantly easier to to do than the other? Would one be better for my future? I feel that (if I don’t get into medical school) a degree in BME would be more useful than one in Biology.</p>
<p>Suggestions would be appreciated. This thread seemed really helpful, I hope the current students/recent alumni return to answer more questions, or that others take their place. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
