What happened?--They CHANGED my 1st choice to 2nd one

<p>Hi everybody,</p>

<p>Have you had any experience about this? They are still reviewing my application (STEP 3). 2 days ago, I checked AIS, and figured out that they changed my 1st choice-Petroleum Engineering to 2nd choice-Civil Engineering. Does it mean they reject me in the 1st choice??</p>

<p>I am so worried about that!</p>

<p>More than likely by now, Petroleum Engineering is at capacity.</p>

<p>OMG, It is so sad!
But, could I switch to Petro Dept. after I got admitted from A&M?? Or I have to stick with 2nd choice major …forever… Y_Y… because I really want to study about Petroleum Engineering.</p>

<p>I got accepted from Texas Tech Uni-- Petroleum Engr, should I go there if PETE from A&M is full? </p>

<p>Thanks for replying me aGGieENGiNeeR.</p>

<p>Yeah petroleum engineering is likely full, and yes you can transfer in after a semesters worth of attending A&M if your gpa is high enough; you could also transfer in from another institution eventually as well.</p>

<p>You should go wherever you want to go.</p>

<p>I would not take Texas Tech out of the question either. Texas Tech has a location advantage. They are right next to a whole lot of oil fields. If you want to start out in Petroleum Engineering from the beginning, I would actually consider Texas Tech which is really not a bad option at all. If you are willing to wait and take a chance that you can pull high enough grades, then try for A&M.</p>

<p>Thanks all for very useful advice. I will wait for A&M. I think it’s worth…</p>

<p>I’ll post the result as I got the decision (even I got rejected… ) ^^</p>

<p>Again, thank you guys very much!.</p>
