<p>how is UT austin for engineering generally and for civil engineering specifically?</p>
<p>UTA is excellent in Engineering, and Civil Engineering is its best sub-department.</p>
<p>GPA isn't everything. They look at SAT scores (how'd he do on those?), extracurriculars, personal qualities, etc. Maybe your friend was lacking in those departments?</p>
<p>what do you mean with personal qualities?i dont know his SAT score but i will learn and write it to forum.</p>
<p>Personal Qualities- What you have to offer that can't be expressed in numberical value. </p>
<p>Do you play an instrument? Do you play a sport? Do you collect something no one else does?</p>
<p>Are you nice, or are you mean? Are you involved in community service, or do you spray pepper spray at a hobo just for fun because he panhandles you?</p>
<p>They like to know what KIND of person you are (without necessarily comparing you with others' numbers/statistics). Because after a certain point, it's proven through transcripts and SAT scores whether or not you can do the work. The other question they press is "what else (other than academic work) can you contribute to the university?"</p>
<p>yes i play guitar.i play basketball but all of them not professionally.i'm really nice person but i dont know what can contribute the university:(
i never seen anything like that in my country.</p>
<p>GOOD! Under "extracurriculars," put that you play guitar, and under "sports" put that you play basketball as an intramural. There, you have now contributed to the university by not being a total bookwork, but by being a well rounded human being. That's how you have contributed.</p>
