sorry! i meant auto-admit but for some reason it made it stars…odd</p>
<p>They just changed mystatus. I got rejected from PetE, just filed an appeal. I’m so mad right now. I got rejected from a BS/MD program plus PetE today, right now I’m in biochemistry. It really sucks</p>
<p>Are you in state? Auto admit?</p>
<p>In state auto admit 2050 SAT 640CR, 720M, 690WR ~4.5% tons of AP’s/Dual courses in math and science. I mean, is PetE really that competitive now? my GPA is very good, taken a lot of science and math and broke a 700 on math, i guess not.</p>
<p>All of this rejection has taken away my sense of security. And it’s sad that Cockrell seems to be placing so much emphasis on SAT scores</p>
<p>asianandproud…so sorry about the petro eng. I always think I have UT’s admissions figured out, and everything changes the following year! My daughter who was auto admit with similar SAT scores to you was auto admit in 2009 with architecture as first choice…she did not get into architecture or Plan 2. Three NMF she graduated with did not get into UT at all…they were top 11% when cutoff was top 10%. (They all did the cap program and are all three graduating with honors from UT engineering this spring!) she went in as undergraduate studies…took her engineering math and made excellent grades and transferred right into honors engineering. She graduates this year. My son was not an auto admit, but did get into engineering last spring (had perfect standardized math and science). Go Figure! Literally, go figure all that math and make a’s!</p>
<p>After a few days of anger…think positively, study hard and you will be in engineering this time next year!</p>
<p>Is anyone having problems logging in tonight?</p>
<p>Yeah mystatus isn’t working for me. It says “502 bad gateway.” Maybe they are changing so many statuses that it crashed? I hope they fix it soon because this is getting me even more anxious…</p>
<p>That is the same error message that I am getting. Good news, bad new, no news???</p>
<p>@shmegel
Your response to @asianandproud was the BEST POST OF THE DAY!
So eloquently stated…And a real-world fact pattern.</p>
<p>@asianandproud
Read @scmegel’s post about 100 times and take it to heart 100%.
You can do it!
When you do, you’ll be so excited that today’s details will be a distant memory.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for the encouragement schmegel, I really needed that. Being rejected from my top two choices wasn’t easy. My third choice is the Texas A&M BS/MD program, so if that doesn’t work out I’ll probably go to UT with undergraduate studies and try to get into engineering. Except, the only engineering majors that I’m really interested in are chemical and petroleum, both of which are really ‘hot’ right now and even with a year of good grades at UT, I’m not sure how good my chances of transferring are.</p>
<p>yall, the server’s down. is it only me or is it for everyone else too?</p>
<p>mine as well. Speculations?</p>
<p>I can’t log in either…very nervous now!</p>
<p>ahhhh I feel like its either that the decisions are released or people “think” the decisions are released so they’re all checking at the same time</p>
<p>I am also unable to log.</p>
<p>oh my god. explodingtoenail is non auto admit and got accepted before the website went down. OH MY GOD. freaking out.</p>
<p>@mandler
OHMYGOD I KNOW!</p>
