UT Austin BME??

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So supposedly UT Austin BME is really tough to get into, and if it were for any other department at UT I wouldn't bother asking. But nobody even at Colloqium could give me a straight answer as to the competitive level / average stats of BME acceptants (other than "it's REALLY hard to get into"). </p>

<p>So just based on any experience or knowledge, could you guys help me out? What are my chances...</p>
