Petroleum engineering admits - stats

<p>Hey everyone who got into this major at ut. I got paced and want to try to get into this major eventually. I thought I could make it but apparently it wasn't good enough ... My stats have been posted in multiple place so if just like to compare and see what I need to do for the future </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Hi mehh1234!</p>

<p>I was recently accepted into Petroleum Engineering at UT this past December. I’ll post my stats below, and hopefully this can help you in some way! Hook em’</p>

<p>Rank: 55/1101 (4.99%)
Unweighted GPA: I’m not sure… We have an odd scaling system at my school.
Weighted GPA: 4.317/5.0
ACT: Cumulative- 32, M: 34, R:34 Wr: 32 S: 27 I didn’t do so hot in science… As you can see :slight_smile:
SAT: Not sure… I didn’t do very well either… about at 2020. So I didn’t submit that score.</p>

<p>Course Load: I took only honors or AP for my core classes. For electives, it varied in difficulty.
Senior Year Classes: AP Chem, AP Micro Econ, AP Calc AB, Honors Band, AP English 4</p>

<p>AP Scores: Human Geography (5), Statistics (5), United States History (5), Language and Composition (4), World History (4), Environmental Science (4), European History (4), Spanish Language (4)</p>

<p>EC’s: I had a lot of extra curricular activities in combination with leadership positions so… I’ll just summarize my resume.</p>

<p>Clubs:
-Marching Band (4 years)
-Concert Band (4 years)
-Honors Band (2 years)
-National Junior Honor Society (1 year)
-National Honor Society (3 years)
-Mu Alpha Theta (2 years)
-Spanish Honor Society (2 years)
-Spanish Club (1 year)
-International Club (1 year)
-Key Club (1 year)</p>

<p>Volunteering: For various clubs at our school, volunteering is required as part of membership. So I included that in my resume. I was also very active at my church and within my band program.</p>

<p>-Youth Choir (1 year)
-Church Orchestra (2 years)
-Media Operator during services (3 years)
-Weekly Bible Study (4 years)</p>

<p>Leadership Positions:</p>

<p>-Environmental Club President (1)
-International Club VP (1)
-Band Section Leader (2)
-Spanish Club VP (1)
-NHS VP (1)
-National History Club Secretary (1)</p>

<p>So that’s pretty much it in terms of my overall resume. I did get job junior and senior year, but I didn’t work that many hours. Probably only 5-10 hours a week. I don’t know if my essays could be considering great, but I mean they were decent. I applied around… November 26 or 27th, so pretty close to the deadline. I didn’t turn in any letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>I also recently received a scholarship from the Cockrell School of Engineering for what I assume is from the Honors Engineering Program. However, I haven’t received my letter yet, but I should receive some sort of notification soon regarding the Honors Program. So I’ll try and keep you posted.</p>

<p>Hopefully this was helpful! I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors! UT’s Petroleum Engineering Program is definitely one of the most competitive to get into. So don’t lose hope my friend! :)</p>

<p>@TheLifeOfaWalnut Wow…Congrats on the EHP notification. Well, I don’t know if you have looked at my other posts or not but unfortunately I have been selected for the PACE program meaning that I haven’t even gotten full admission into the school yet…</p>
