<p>I was just wondering if kids that did well in high school generally do well in the major. I don’t want to wreck my GPA and ruin my chances for med school.</p>

Every 2 years UT makes HB588 report for Texas Government. This is the latest one available.

If you scroll down to pages 11-18 you’ll see freshman GPA in different SAT/ACT score groups and for different races. It will give you an idea.</p>

<p>As others have said, UT’s engineering program is one of the best in the nation. It’s considerably more difficult to get into Cockrell than UT overall.</p>

<p>As an overall university, UT’s peers
schools are UCLA, Michigan, UNC, Wisconsin and Illinois if that gives you a better idea of its prestige.</p>
