Thank You

Yes i would think so, impressive stats! Good luck!

I agree. I am surprised you didn’t receive your acceptance yet. Your stats are good for any school. Where else you applied/admitted?

5

@ACT2017 I applied just a couple weeks before the deadline so I think that could be why I haven’t been notified about my major. The other schools I applied to are: UTD, Caltech, and Stanford. I really like UT so I decided just to apply to a safety and then a few reach schools.

Alright, I just got into my major. Now I gotta wait for honors decisions.

Just letting you know, Engineering Honors only starts reviewing your application after you get accepted to Cockrell. I think you have a really good shot at engineering honors with your scores and course rigor, but who knows - UT has a seemingly random admissions process at times.

EHP also usually gives a scholarship (around $12k) to most applicants, so that’s going to complicate your decision if you get into Stanford/Caltech.

Good luck!
