Ok after I realized I posted this in the wrong section I’m reposting here. I graduated in 2008. I was 34/74 in my class. I started college after I graduated for game design because my mom kept telling me that’s what I should do, I wasn’t interested so I quit for “a year off” and we’ll 2 kids and a wife and 7 years later I’m ready to go back but for civil engineering this time around. I’ve been looking on the UH website and all I can find is a minimum ACT score of 28 if your class rank is I the 25-50% range, to get accepted into the school of engineering. Do you think I can get in if i get around a 31 or 32 on the act or would I have to transfer over? Also how hard is getting a 3.5 gpa in college, I was thinking about transfering anyways cause of other issues.
UH =?
3.5 GPA in college is very hard, and in engineering it’s for the tippy top students.
Sorry University of Houston, I really want a 3.5 gpa cause I’m wanting to get my masters in structural engineering at TAMU
A 3.5 in engineering is REALLY hard.
Have you taken practice tests? What are your scores?
If you get 28+ it sounds like you should get into UHouston Engineering.
It’s great you want to go back to school, but maintaining a 3.5 in engineering while having a family is even harder than when you’re a full time student, and very very few engineering students get a 3.5.
Plan ahead:
You’ll have to drill your kids that your office is offlimits, that when the door is closed, no one can interrupt, for any reason, etc. Use earplugs. Turn off your phone. Finding time for about 6 hours of homework each day (incuding some in labs on campus) is going to be challenging so everyone’ll have to be on the same page.
