@emory323 the main reason is the cost. The lack of merit aid at at a price tag of 65k a year with similar prestige as UT, it is hard to justify. I might apply just for the heck of it. I have all a’s and 1 b in my Sophomore-Junior year which will be like a high 3.9. Scholarships are like impossible but it doesn’t hurt to try and it’d be nice to know I could get into the number 3 engineering school in the nation.
