<p>So with all that what do you think my chances for
Mccombs @ UT
UT engineering
A&M ENgineering
Rice bio-engineering</p>
<p>hmmm if ure from houston do u go to clements h.s.?</p>
<p>how is ur gpa so low but ur sat so frickin good</p>
<p>otherwise:
UT engineering: safety. Honors: Low reach (cuz they look at test scores)
Rice: low reach (ure instate...and they tend to have a lower acceptance for instate students...don't worry, i live in houston and from my school, even though its very competitive, they have reservations accepting us....)
A&M: definite safety. dude if u get into UT...don't go to A&M</p>
<p>Ok i have some other suggestions:
-take sat iis
-if u want to be a biomedical engineer, i suggest doing chemical or civil engineering first and then for grad school do biomed, cuz direct undergrad for biomed won't yeild that many jobs.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>I'd say both Rice and UT Engineering are significant reaches. Although you have a very good SAT score. It's hard to call. Just apply and see.</p>
<p>A&M you are probably in, but don't go there it really sucks. I'd recommend researching some more schools to apply to. Try looking out of state.</p>
<p>ok misterme2009, another question.
is UT engineering really that hard to get into, or just UT engineering Honors?</p>
<p>I'm taking a lot of AP classes and i supose that my GPA will go up or i hope anyways. I dont really want to go to A&M but i dont want to go to Sam Houston either. ALSo i was thinking of looking OOS but my parents wont pay the OOS fee's. Unless its top 20 schools they would rather me go to UT and get instate tuition</p>
<p>UT engineering isn't that hard to get into...but if you are not in the top ten percent, space is very limited. For the honors programs, I am not sure...but the standards are obviously higher than those for regular admissions. The honors programs are probably nearly as selective as Rice.</p>
<p>actually, honors programs at UT
-most ppl r w/in top 2% of the class
-most ppl have SAT above 1460 (old scale)
-they rely on test scores more than grades/gpa/rank
-the first ten percent of entering class gets accepted (if they apply)</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>anonymous07 do u go to clements h.s.?</p>
<p>nah i got to klein but OOS is OUT OF STATE</p>
