<p>What are my chances of getting into UAF. I read that it has open admission so I thought that if I apply with decent grades it'll be ok but somewhere else I found out that the Petroleum Program actually had a 11% acceptance rate.</p>
<p>I'm also going cause I'm interested in a high salary and is it a good school that companies recruit from?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>And I'm currently a senior in high school.</p>
<p>I’m an undergrad engineering student at UAF, though not Petro, so I’ll give answering this a shot.</p>
<p>I can’t make any promises, but I’d say your chances of admission to the degree program are pretty good. There’s two levels of admission- into the University and into your degree program. Petroleum is very competitive, but even if you can’t get meet the standards, you can come in as a pre-major or general studies, take some classes, then get in officially if your grades are sufficient. I’d suggest you apply, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.</p>
<p>UAF has an exceptionally good engineering school that has very close to 100% placement after graduation. We has a lot of competitions and hands on learning. Salaries are very competitive. I’m a Senior, and already have a job offer from internships. I hope this helps, and feel free to contact me if you have more questions about the Uni.</p>
<p>I am currently a junior in the Petroleum Engineering program and this is what I can tell you.</p>
<p>The chances of getting into UAF are really high and you can see the admissions requirements here: <a href=“Apply for admission | Office of Admissions”>Apply for admission | Office of Admissions; . Also I encourage you to email <a href=“mailto:admissions@uaf.edu”>admissions@uaf.edu</a>, with admissions questions, the admissions staff will gladly help you through the application process.</p>
<p>I have never heard that the Petroleum Program has an 11% acceptance rate. In 2011, there was an acceptance rate of 70% for all engineering disciplines at UAF.

<p>Petroleum Engineering is known for its high salary and it is a great school that companies recruit from. In September, there is an energy recruitment fair put on by Career Services where a multitude of oil companies come to recruit for interns and full-time engineers. These include companies like BP, ConocoPhillips, Baker Hughes, Exxon, Schlumberger and Tesoro. This is a great opportunity to create connections, learn more about the Petroleum Industry, and hopefully obtain your dream job. UAF has a 100% job placement rate within 3 months of graduation, with starting pay up to 90K. </p>
<p>Hopefully this helps! :)</p>
<p>I’m also a junior in Engineering at UAF. I would agree that chances of being admitted to UAF are high and that while no guarantee exists - you very likely will be admitted into your degree of choice. I would agree Mukluks, though, if you don’t get into the degree program still enter UAF - you can still take the petroleum engineering courses and be admitted into the program upon your existing undergraduate GPA.</p>
