ut austin essay for engineering

so i know that UT wants 2 essays but im going to go ahead and do three… so my question is if one of the three isn’t as strong will it count against me? Ive heard that they only take the 2 best essays into account however i would like to know if that is true and if it applies for mechanical engineering as well.

Last year when I applied to Cockrell, I talked to the admissions adviser from the Houston area and asked about submitting all three essays. The adviser told me they would evaluate all three and use the best two.

k20903- Thanks. so the admissions does all of the stuff. even deciding about majors?
