<p>Which petroleum engineering universities can I Definitely be admitted to with these grades and scores?</p>
<p>I am looking to transfer from a Maryland college to a petroleum engineering program else where.</p>
<p>But which programs out of the following could I get into with my grades and SAT score and are realistic to apply and get admitted into?</p>
<p>Texas a&m
Texas - Austin
Texas Tech
Oklahoma
Colorado School of Mines
Alaska Fairbanks</p>
<p>Are there any other good Petroleum engineering colleges you recommend?</p>
<p>These are my grades:</p>
<p>International Relations - A
Calculus I - A
Physics -B
Honors Art - A
Philosophy - A
Psychology - A
Intro to Engineering - A
Japanese - A
Chemistry - A
First Aid/Safety/CPR - A
English - A
Geology - A
Calculus II - A</p>
<p>My college GPA is almost perfect.</p>
<p>SAT SCORE - 1700</p>
<p>My high school GPA was kind of low though. Only 3.0</p>
<p>I also have a few extra curricular activities:
High School Golf Team.
Treasurer in the Center for the study of Local Issues
And more...</p>
<p>Is PetE a subset of MechE or ChemE? If MechE, I would recommend GaTech; they disregard all high school things, and if you have (I believe these are the requirements): Physics, Chemistry, Calc I and II, and possibly another requirement that I can’t remember (may be major based) you can get in definitely with your current college grades.</p>
<p>I think if it’s a concentration of ChemE it might be better to go elsewhere though.</p>
<p>Petroleum Engineering has more to do with Geophysics than chemical engineering or mechanical engineering.
Also I just checked and unfortunately GaTech does not have a PetroE program.</p>
<p>I can’t say I know much about PetE, but I do know that oil companies hire mechanical engineers. Have you ever considered an alternate route such as that? I know that other people do this in other disciplines (like mechs work in aero, electrical can also work in aero), mechanical leaves you very open.</p>
<p>Just an idea, not saying you this so you should go to GT, but it would broaden our options by a lot.</p>
<p>I think you should apply to all of those schools, and it’s likely you will be accepted at most or all of them. </p>
<p>UT and A&M will be the hardest due to overcrowding and tough admission to begin with. But they are both famous for admitting kids that go the Juco route and get good initial grades (like yours).</p>
<p>Unless you just want to spend some time in Alaska, I would think twice about going to college there. The other schools are in the heart of the industry and the recruiting pool.</p>
<p>I would not mind living in Alaska at all. In fact I would love living in Alaska for its natural beauty. I do not mind the cold much.</p>
<p>What is more important to me is that if I do go to Alaska for example will I still be able to easily find a good job right after graduating? </p>
<p>In fact I would rather work in Alaska even if I were to be accepted into Texas Austin.</p>
<p>So if this is my case would it be better for me to just go to Alaska university.</p>
<p>I would like to pursue a masters in Geophysics though. Will going to Fairbanks decrease my chance of getting into a Geophysics graduates program?</p>
<p>i got accepted to UT as a transfer! I got SAT lower than yours!!! my grades are pretty much the same 3.9gpa, and many ECs, also ALL of my friends who applied got accepted to UT Austin as transfers with gpa and sat scores MUCH lower than mine…</p>
<p>i applied to UT austin as a freshman before that though and has been rejected, i suppose they accept most of transfer students applicants, but if u r transfering to UT i am totally sure they will accept u with ur scores</p>
<p>arman1903, did you get into the Petroleum program though? Getting into UTA is not that difficult, its actually getting into cockrell/mccombs thats the tough part.</p>
