I currently attend UT Dallas and may transfer to Texas Tech this fall. Here are my stats:
•The University of Texas at Dallas
•3.40
•1st and 2nd choice majors: Petroleum Engineering an Mechanical Engineering
•Well Done essays
•1 rec letter written by the managing partner of a Chamber of Commerce
•Worked in UT Molecular Science Labs, Chamber of Commerce, restaurant waiter for many years, Band throughout high school.
Also would I get any type of scholarship?
simple ans : SUPER EASY. you need to have 3.25+ to get scholarship. I had 3.5+ and i got $7500/year for two years. Unlike other colleges you can’t transfer to petr dept directly. You will be accepted in tech and after completing your first semester they will assign you your major. Every major has a different requirement. For petr dept you need to have attended at least 1 semester at tech and completed it with 3.2+ GPA.
Comparing to other colleges (A&M and UT) it’s super easy to get into the petr dept of tech but remember the dept itself is a completely different story.
