<p>I'm a senior Architectural Engineering student at The University of Texas at Austin interested in studying Structural Engineering at a higher level.</p>
<p>Major GPA: 3.61
Overall GPA: 3.38</p>
<p>I'd like some possibility of getting funded, although it is not imperative. Where do you suggest I apply? What should be my reach schools, my safe schools, and my just-about-right schools?</p>
<p>Also, I'll have had 5 months of experience with a large general contractor (Hensel Phelps) and 7 months of experience with a blast-structures firm (Baker Risk) upon graduation.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>And I’ll have 1-2 semesters of research in relevant fields. I’m currently working on wind turbine analysis.</p>
<p>I would suggest UT, lol! I was an ArchE at UT. I got my MS in Structures there, also.</p>
<p>You’ve probably had my dad as a prof. :)</p>
<p>The majority of my professors were great.</p>
<p>How was your GPA? When did you attend?
Oh, and were you funded?</p>
<p>I had a 3.82 overall GPA. Slightly lower engineering GPA, around 3.7. I was funded totally. Back in the dark ages - 1984-1986.</p>
<p>I might be able to get into thw grad program, but funding is important and unlikely in the current economic situation. I’d love to attend, I just don’t think the money will make itself available.</p>
<p>Any other suggestions?</p>
