TAMU BLINN vs UT Austin CAP

College Search & Selection
1

I have been accepted at Texas A&M Engineering at Blinn and CAP at UT Austin where I had applied at PLAN II Liberal Arts. (I know it was very tough to get accepted at Plan II but i had applied anyway) I am still confused what these acceptances mean? Would I ever be able to go get admitted to PLAN II at UT Austin or actual computer engineering at TAMU? Thanks

For TAMU, take a look at the ETAM threads. Computer engineering is one of the most competitive majors for secondary admission in ETAM; expect to need to get the 3.75 college GPA for automatic admission in order to get into that major.

Computer science or computer engineering is likely to be very difficult to get into at UT Austin if you are not admitted into the major.

Do you have admissions to other schools where you are reasonably assured of getting into the computer engineering or computer science major?

If you value a major in computer engineering or computer science, choose a college where you are in the major or have reasonable assurance of declaring the major. Getting into these majors at TAMU or UT Austin (if not directly admitted to the major) or Purdue (if not directly admitted to the major) is quite difficult.
