<p>So I'm a high school senior currently in houston texas wanting to go into engineering. My high school stats are pretty solid, 800 math lvl2, 5 on chem2 AP... The schools I've applied to were michigan, a&m, UT, uh, and rice. Well I'm still trying to hear back from rice, but i've really eliminated it down to TWO SCHOOLS-
UT
-admitted for mechanical engineering(intended on doing chemical, but it's alright)
-no money given</p>

<p>UH
-admitted for chemical engineering and general energy management
-full scholarship(tier one scholar)</p>

<p>What are people's thoughts on how each education would place me into the energy job market(GE, conocophillips, shell, etc..). I know UH isn't there in the rankings at all, but the reputation around campus is that chemical engineering is no joke there. and the bauer school of business is pretty good too, but I really don't know how it places the students into the career field compared to UT engineering grads. I'd love as much feedback as possible, whether it's from currently working engineers or students. Thanks!</p>

<p>UT Austin is a top 10 engineering program. I would say very prestigious for engineering.
I’ve never even heard of UH. </p>

<p>That being said, it may not be as big of an advantage to go to UT as one might think. Its really hard to say. You need to check with the career center and see who recruits from campus, where graduates work, starting salaries, etc.</p>

<p>If you want to do chemical engineering but didn’t get admitted into the program at UT, why is that even still an option?</p>

<p>UH has a good regional reputation from what I’ve heard but don’t expect them to carry a lot of weight in, say, Los Angeles. If you want to stay near Houston after school you should be fine though.</p>
