Why did I not get ChemE?

Pretty much liberal arts and history majors. There’s physics and math and kinesiology, but that’s about close you can get to STEM.

If you want to study only engineering go to a different college. I never heard about any good engineering student from A&M, Texas Tech, or University of Houston who did not find employment.

If you want to attend only UT Austin, physics has the best rating and is directly related to engineering.
