<p>UT Engineering is not limited to the top 2-3%. Several kids from our school out of the top 10% have been admitted to engineering. Of course being in the top 2-3% is a big help. They look at more than class rank for getting into a major.</p>
<p>Top 2-3% may refer to an engineeing hornor program, not regular.</p>
<p>tjd, have you heard from UT for engineering major? My S got admitted by A&M with chemicla engineering, but haven’t heard from UT for major (his is top 7%), I read some already got into engineering major.</p>
<p>I have not heard from UT yet since I’m not top 7%. From what I’ve heard it will probably be around the end of February. I still check everyday. I personally don’t know of anyone that was admitted that was not automatic. I do see the ones that post here that have been admitted even though they weren’t auto. It seems like they have outstanding scores of 34-36/2200-2400 along with a solid application. I guess my 33 ACT doesn’t quite do it. :(</p>
<p>I’ve been admitted to A&M as an academic admit with a choice of petroleum engineering.</p>
<p>I also applied for Petroleum with Mechanical as my second choice.
I was going to apply to A&M, but as it was a last minute decision, I couldn’t get all the paperwork together in time, unfortunately.
I’m from NY, have a 32 ACT and am in the top 2% of my class of about 300. I had few extracurriculars but I’m hoping my essays will help pull me up (I thought the one was really good, but who knows…).
From what I can tell either all petroleum hopefuls are this smart, or only the ones who are actually bother to come on this website lol. I’m hoping I will hear back soon.
How do you know that you’ll hear back by the end of February? Does it matter if you’re in state or out of state?</p>

Based on what I heard yesterday at a UT engineering information session, the admissions office is attempting to release all major decisions before/by mid-February. I assume if you have not been accepted yet, you should wait just a few more weeks, especially if you are interested in petroleum engineering. It is one of the more competitive majors to get into at UT.</p>
<p>UT will inform applicants by March 1. Historically they have notified applicants about 7-10 days prior to March 1. Good luck to all!</p>

That’s good to hear that I won’t have to wait until April lol. I would expect that I’d be one of the last to hear back seeing as I’m OOS and therefore they’ll have to see how much room they have left, I think. I’m not really expecting to get in, but it would be nice. Then I won’t have to worry about transferring.</p>

Best of luck!</p>
<p>My son just got in Chemical Engineering!</p>
<p>Congrats summerrain2014!</p>
<p>No update on my status. :(</p>
<p>tjd, you have good test score and lots of EC and high GPA, just wait a couple days, Good Luck!</p>
<p>summerrain2014 was your son an auto admit? would you share his details with us? (i.e. test scores, AP classes, gpa, etc).</p>
<p>I believe he was an auto admit.</p>
<p>Classmate just got admitted to PE. She was auto admit.</p>
<p>tjd, my son is auto admit, SAT 2240. Taking all AP now.</p>
