how hard for Out of State AE?

Colleges & Universities A-Z The University of Texas at Austin

<p>my friend is strongly considering doing Aerospace engineering at UT. The problem is he recently moved to colorado (from TX) and now is attending his senior year there, making him an out of stater. How much harder is it gonna be for him to get into Aerospace Eng. and Aerospace honors?</p>

<p>I don't know his class rank, but I'm sure it's not in top 10%, somewhere in top quartile. He's always taken basically as many AP classes as possible, and right now he's taking Multivariable Calc online via a local community college. </p>

<p>His SAT will be anywhere from 1350-1450 (just adding math and verbal, since UT doesn't care about the writing).
His Math IIC / Physics SAT II's are both above 700.
AP's: Calculus AB (5) Chemistry (5) German Lang. (4) English Lang. (2) </p>

<p>So as far as non-class rank factors go, he seems more competitive than the average UT eng'. But again, how much will being an out of stater mess with his chances? </p>

<p>Input is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>its a long shot so dont hold your breath</p>

<p>a 1350 SAT score is much different than a 1450 SAT score..... but if it is 1450 and not 1450.... i think he might have a shot</p>

<p>hm...didn't think it'd be that bad. even EE's average SAT is only a 1300.</p>

<p>what does EE stand for</p>

5

<p>electrical engineering</p>

<p>yeah 1300 is the average..... but averages are overrated at UT....because 1300 is the average with all the top 10% ppl that got in that wouldnt normally get in with the top 10% law....</p>

<p>im not saying that you wont get in....but there is a big chance that you wont</p>

<p>u will definitely get in with a score of 1350.i m in UT Austin . My roommate is a aerospace E freshman .he had a score of 1230 he got in.
its better if u apply to a better college than this, where professors focus on students.Though UT is awesome in grad school it is not that good in undergraduate .</p>

<p>I disagree, UT's engineering program is pretty well ranked. I think your friend may have a shot, raise the SAT score and write a good essay and then take a gamble.</p>

<p>poisonedapple....your roommate must have been in state and in the top 10%.....an sat score of 1230 would probably not be enough for an out of state student</p>

<p>damn this complicates things....heh. Well when do we have to have roomates definitely picked by...May?</p>

<p>he was not in the top 10% ,but he said he was a mexican.but he might be instate i m not sure of it.</p>
