<p>I'm sure y'all get tired of new users coming strait to this section and creating a new thread, but what's one more?</p>

<p>I applied for UT Austin on October 1st and got my online acceptance on October 9th. Not a bad turn-around. I'm applying to Cockrell for Mechanical Engineering and now I'm just waiting on their decision.

1350 SAT (math 700 CR 650)
Waiting on MATH II scores</p>

<p>2008 FIRST Robotics World Champions (1600+ teams)
Robotics 2008 MVP
Robotics 2009 Leadership award
1st place at 5 robotics regionals

Self-Taught CAD
actually produced 2 major projects I fully designed in CAD
this was one of them YouTube</a> - VEXAPOD 1 I sent pics of it with my resume. (I did fix the ground humping problem)
2 awesome letters of rec - 1 from the lead mechanical engineer where I work.

<p>I go through waves of self-confidence then doubt. What do y'all think my chances are?</p>

<p>Not sure how many people on this board have Cockrell-specific experience, so if you need another set of eyes/chances, check out the UT board - there a few Cockrell students/parents over there.</p>
