<p>Well apparently what I said isn’t 100% credible anymore.</p>

<p>Numbers used to be very strong indicators for what you’d get accepted to but apparently things are a-changing here at UT. Auto-admits to Cockrell normally get an acceptance w/in 2-3 weeks of submission… I wonder how long it takes now. Nevertheless, I don’t think this should affect the average applicant. Unless your EC’s are really lacking or phenomenal then I don’t see it changing your chances much. Each major will probably continue to accept about the same caliber of student but with a few nuances. The only time you should really worry is if they start cutting seats.</p>
<p>And yes, ECE is one of the easier engineering majors to get in to but don’t read that as a result of it being an easier major. It’s more of a product of it being one of the biggest majors in engineering.</p>
<p>By the way, you shouldn’t get down on yourself before you’ve even started. Standardized tests aren’t everything and there’s a lot more to being a good student that pure smarts. Everyone worries about how they’ll do but no one, especially not those tests, can predict anything for sure. Just go out there and give it your best.</p>
