Engineering school suggestions for my younger sister

Note that UT Austin automatic admission does not necessarily include automatic admission to the desired major.

However, with a top 7% rank, it is likely that many other Texas public universities which admit directly to engineering majors (or where engineering majors are not difficult to enter after enrolling) can be admission safeties (of course, affordability must be checked). It is best to start the list with affordable safeties to ensure that she will have some college to go to even in the worst case outcome.
