So I was planning to attend University of Houston for Biotechnology. I originally planned on doing aerospace engineering and transfer to UT Austin, but U of H doesn’t have that program here. Should I change majors to something different at U of H, or transfer out my freshman year and change major at UTA? I also was offered CAP for Aerospace engineering at UT Tyler, but I heard its just as hard to get into Cockrell for engineering even for CAP.
When we attended an engineering day at UT Austin, the professors were very honest and said that if you don’t get into Cockrell School with your freshman application that you should choose another school where you will be happy because transferring in later is not likely to happen. It is always competitive and always fills. Choose a major you will be happy studying and make the most of your college years wherever you go. Good luck!
