UTD to UT

I am a mechanical engineering major who was accepted into UT Austin and UT Dallas. If i decide to go to UT Dallas, but want to transfer to UT Austin after my sophomore year, how hard will it be and will the fact that i got in as a high school senior have any impact on my chances?

Your first acceptance won’t matter! Your grades at UTD will be the determining factor. Mech E would be a tough major to transfer into. Why would you attend UTD first if the goal is UT Austin, and you have already been accepted?

id like to start college at a small school close to home and I got scholarship money there
