<p>Hello there, I would like to begin by saying that I am sure that I will get in with the second highest scholarship so no need for giving all of my stats. I am looking into a CS or Software Engineering degree and many have said that for Dallas area companies, UTD is one of the best schools to go to. So I have some questions if you could help.</p>
<p>1.) How difficult is the SE program if very little to no programming or coding history? Amount of work/studying a week?</p>
<p>2.) What kind of services available for Enginerring/CS students such as (tutoring, labs, etc.)</p>
<p>3.) What kind of grades will be good for multiple co-op/internship offers in SE in Dallas? What are the co-ops like?</p>
<p>4.) Is the fast track 5 year program for the M.S. In Software Engineering worth it?</p>
<p>5.) For a job in Software Engineering after school does the UTD name hold well? Also what kind of grades would be needed for working at Raytheon, Citi, etc.</p>
<p>6.) I understand the competition is most likely fierce, but is it impossible for a kid who learns quickly, very quick with Math and Science?</p>
