What are my chances of getting accepted to Cockrell School of Engineering?

Applying to College

<p>Hey guys, new user here. I'm currently an in-state Junior, and UT Austin is my dream school. I really wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Specifically, I want to attend Cockrell School of Engineering as a Petroleum Major. I was curious as to if anyone who is currently in the program or who has been in the program can chance me at acceptance. I'm not really interested in the honors program, as I have researched and found no large benefit from it. Thanks ahead of time guys. </p>

<p>UW 3.86 GPA
W 4.29 GPA</p>

<p>Class Rank: 61/876 (will increase for sure, as lots of kids I know who are ranked higher than me have slacked off this year, while I have improved)</p>

<p>Will have taken 10 AP tests by end of Senior year.*</p>

<p>Junior Courseload:</p>

<p>Chorale (Varsity Choir)
Brothers Ensemble Choir
Pre-Ap Physics*
Pre-Ap Pre-Cal
English 3 AP
US History AP
Spanish 3</p>

<p>Future Senior Year Courseload:</p>

<p>Chorale
Cantate (Varsity Show Choir)
Physics C AP
Chemistry 2 AP
English 4 DC
Calculus BC
Government/Economics AP</p>

<p>Just took the SAT and I predict at least a 1800, but I went in dry and I'm now preparing for my retake, which my goal is set to a 2100 at least.*</p>

<p>I was qualified for NHS but overlooked as I was a new transfer student at my current school from a private school, but I will be inducted senior year.*
Applying for a CPS Internship which I plan on getting.*
Volunteer every summer at a mission site up in Arlington for about 168 hours total so far*
Volunteer at local animal shelter.*
Varsity Track, Cross Country and Soccer my Freshmen and Sophomore years.*
Received score of 1 on numerous vocal solo and ensemble performances at State UIL.*
Varsity Choir all throughout High School and Varsity Band freshmen and sophomore years.*</p>

<p>I know ill qualify for the Calculus Requirement, and I researched what UT gives in terms of credit for AP course, and if I score well on all my tests, which I plan on doing through the prep I am receiving, I should have 33 credit hours under my belt. So a full year of credit out of the way towards a Petroleum Engineering Major.*</p>

<p>So basically I have a rigorous course load, a ranking that will have me in the auto admissions group, and I'll have a full year of courses required for my major completed. What are my chances?</p>
