My OOS daughter was accepted to engineering school-electrical engineering. Is it possible for her to switch to Mechanical engineering w a technical track to Industrial engineering before she begins in Fall? Impossible?
Rejected OOS CS: 1590 SAT, NMSF, 4.0 UW, 11 APs all 5ās except 2, great ECs and LORā¦Iām an alum so it stings a bit but sure he will land where he shouldā¦congrats to all who are in and good luck to all!

Extraordinary stats. Itās a loss for UT. I am sure your DS will land in a great school.

My daughter was also capped. In-state but not auto due to non-ranking school. NMSF, 1560 SAT, 34 ACT. All Aās with over 32 credits of mostly honors and advanced courses including 61 hours of dual credit taken at a college campus with 4.0 GPA, and some of them were honors courses at the college. Letter of recommendation from Calc 3 professor. Tons of extracurriculars, leadership, and volunteering. It wasnāt her first choice school as she is looking for merit aid, but she was still disappointed. Cap is not an option for her anyway because there are only like 4 AP courses that ste hasnāt already taken and gotten an A. Iām not sure why they offer CAP to kids with that much credit?
We have friends with similar stats to her that were also denied, capped, or just didnāt get desired major.

Per the above chart, UT has more auto-admits than room in the incoming frosh class. Yield will help cull those numbers a bit, but as college costs rise and UT is a good value, the yield rate keeps rising

Trying to figure this out. Hearing of all the super stars getting accepted, but arenāt some average kids getting accepted?
Doesnāt make sense.
Rejected. CS, International, 1570, IB Predicted 43/45, leadership and research in ECs.
Yes, my sonās non-AA classmate (URM, first gen and poor) got in to Chem E with 1340 SAT. And he also has two classmates, 1550 and 1560, respectively, get CAP. (One was CS and is also a URM, but not first gen; donāt know about the other.) Granted, 1340 is not āaverage,ā but it is not nearly on par with reports here.
Outside of top 6%, academic excellence is not the most significant criterion for UT acceptance. Period. It is one factor among others that are equally, if not more, important.

We see that now. Given DCās stats were better than the ātypical accepted student with your backgroundā per College Vine, we assumed (incorrectly) getting in would not be minor miracle.
That jives with what my wife and I were thinking. Since test scores are highly correlated with income, UT is probably keenly looking for students who have thrived in spite of economic hardship. At least thatās the hope.

We are stunned too. First choice was CS; second was Computer Engineeringā¦ he was rejected at Stanford too and all his other admissions donāt report for a bit. His friend got in last night and the only stat differences (besides friend having lower SAT) is AP number (friend has 17) and an internship. Letting it go and focusing on home choice of UW Seattleāhe still has heart set on CA schools thoāweāll see!
