Hello, I am planning to apply for Cockrell.
I am interested in doing any engineering except Civil.
My test scores aren’t the outstanding for international.
So I want to apply the “easiest grtting into” just to make it in.
Any adivide on which major should be the easiest to get in?(Not the percentage if students are accepted on each major).
I would suggest just applying to whichever engineering major seems the most interesting to you. Also, try to retake tests and improve your scores. Don’t try to game the system; it’s not worth it if you end up in a major that you end up disliking. I was told that it’s painful to switch majors. Why do you want to get into Cockrell specifically?
From what I heard, Aerospace is the easiest Engineering to get into. The internal transfer GPA cut off was like 3.2
@imthereal I have taken the sat 3 times best was 2090(1420) and superscore 2120. Planning to take 3 more times, I want to go to Cockrell because UT offers instate tuition to international. I can’t afford college based on OOS tuition. And I believe that UT offers fantastic engineering program.
@foafoa Thats what I heard too! I wonder why, cause in the future it seems like aerospace would be important
@Messipass Only 4 or so people a year receive in-state tuition who otherwise don’t qualify. It’s extremely hard to get. I would honestly look elsewhere if you can’t afford OOS/international tuition. Also, your SAT scores are probably too low for Cockrell, to be blunt. UT doesn’t superscore, and I don’t think a 2090 will cut it for engineering unless you have stellar stats elsewhere. Even then, UT admissions decisions follow a formula that heavily relies on rank and test scores (people have posted a link to the formula in other threads if you want to find it).
I do think aerospace might be the easiest to get into. The hardest are probably bio and petro.
@imthereal I fit the texas residency, one thing Im sure is I am getting the instate. And the formula you mentioned, I think I have seen it before. However, the formula considers Math and Writing on SAT which I don"t get. Shoudln’t it be Math and CR??
Different schools have different ways that they review applicants, and UT’s method isn’t the standard for unknown reasons. We win some, we lose some, but we should take it all in stride (and UT’s method actually was worse for me, lol).
