<p>idk if this applies to u… but i would talk to ut, stating that u were accepted already as a highschool student… u only did 1 year of college and i believe that if u were accepted already prior that ut will accept u automatically if u were like in the top 10 percent or something like that. im not to sure on how it works but definitly call ut and talk to them about it because u can possibly be at ut already</p>
<p>@utchild199 I was in the top 10 percent in my high school, and that was how I got accepted into UT the first time. I did the automatic transfer application again, but I guess they don’t really consider it. </p>
<p>@utchild199 @bonehead180 UT doesn’t really care about your high school transcript , all the really care about in transfers most the time are GPA ,rec letters and essays. thats why its relatively easier to get into UT if you went to a CC and got a 3.8+</p>
<p>@commandbutton Alright thanks for the info.</p>
<p>I’d say don’t let your choice of schools discourage you from studying what you want to study - just find a place you can be happy.
I’m assuming you have about 30 credit hours since you said you just finished your first year with a 3.4 GPA in ChemE. If you take courses this summer and full loads the next two semesters and get high marks in those courses ( let’s say 40 more hours with a 4.0 gpa in those classes ) then your cumulative gpa would be about a 3.75 which would give you a good shot when applying to engineering at UT. If you opted to not take summer courses then ( with 30 more hours and a 4.0 gpa in those classes ) then your cumulative would be about 3.7. Since that’s borderline for engineering, any little bit extra would help. I think UT engineering is going to mainly look at your gpa when applying so I would focus on getting high marks.
As others have said, ChemE is one of the more competitive engineering majors at UT so you could look into other fields that are less competitive such as mechanical or aerospace. Anyways, best of luck and I hope you enjoy this year more.</p>
<p>@want2engr thanks. Do you think going undecided would give me a better chance getting into UT </p>
