<p>Is the College of Education a hard school to get into?</p>
<p>I don't think it's all that difficult, from what I hear, to get into the College of Education. I applied there too and am waiting for my acceptance letter. I know it's #13 in Education schools from what I read.</p>
<p>mccomb...two business days after.</p>
<p>Accepted to McCombs School of Business...it took them less than a week i think</p>
<p>Sweetbee, can you tell us your stats? Congrats!!!</p>
<p>Thanks...</p>
<p>My stats:
SAT I: 1480 (V690, M 790)
SAT II: 800/790/730
GPA:4.6 (close to 4.0 unweighted, aren't exactly sure)
Rank: 11/749 (1.5%)
In a lot of IB classes, including 4 HL's, although not IB diploma candidate
A few district awards in math and science, attended a summer program at UT.
That's about it...</p>
<p>What I heard was that they start to take applicants from top 1% of their high school graduating class, until they fill up 75% of the slots, then they open up the competition to everyone else for the other 25% (including in state, out of state, and outside U.S)</p>
<p>Accepted, college of engineering!</p>
<p>They accepted me to engineering 1 week after I applied, which was the deadline Dec 1 I think, I was debating whether the essays were worth it or not. Hoping to get some kind of scholarship (32, 1390, 3.8/4.3, top decile, commended)prob not. o well, if not. geaux tigers!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Oh btw I was top 12%, so there is hope for you nontop10%ers!</p>
<p>that 1% rumor seems very very untrue. I am right at the borderline, last place in the top 10 percent, but our school started "not ranking" to help those not in the top deciles(a little too socialist for my tastes).</p>
<p>But it seems unlikely because Texas has almost 35-40k undergrads. 30k ppl there are not valedictorians. I promise.</p>
<p>bj921 are you referring to my post? The policy I talked about is true for McCombs School of Business, and its different for the College of Engineering, because Engineering has a different standard and they put more emphasis on math and science.</p>
<p>Sorry I didn't clarify that enough.</p>
<p>Thanks, guys. The only people I had seen UT admit, admittedly a limited sample, ranked very highly in their schools. It was fairly early on in the process, too, well before the Dec 1 deadline.</p>
<p>Squirrel, when did you complete your app?</p>
<p>I just got my engineering honors acceptance letter, which is suprising because I thought it wouldn't come till mid-march. Hopefully a Plan II acceptance letter comes early too.</p>
<p>At son's school in Texas non-top-10'ers are getting accepted in the last few days. One kid top 40%, 1490 SAT, the other top 25% 1290. Both liberal arts.</p>
<p>My son just got his acceptance - online - today. We're from New Jersey.</p>
<p>S just got his acceptance today also. Electrical Engineering, from Louisiana.</p>
<p>Congrats to all of you</p>
<p>a smart lazy kid im guessing.</p>
<p>got mine today.</p>
