<p>Texas resident. 4/4 unweighted gpa. 5.8 weighted gpa. Loads of ap classes. Good extracurriculars. 2 subject tests (math2 and bio m) with 800s on both. 2210 sat (800 M, 720 CR, 690 WR). I am in the top 1% of my class. Please ask if you need other details to reach your conclusion.</p>
<p>Probably, the U is pretty statistical based and I got in with not as good stats. By the way, they will admit you to the College of Science and Engineering not to ChemE, you have to apply for that major after your second year.</p>
<p>I’d say the chances of admission are excellent with your credentials, and even better if you’re a National Merit Finalist, too.</p>
<p>@gman333 So it’s a gamble that I have to take after my second year?</p>
<p>What about the scholarships I would qualify for? I dont think I’d have a lot because I am from out of state</p>
<p>I received a scholarship called the Gold National Scholarship which gave me in-state tuition. So, the U was my most affordable option.
No it is not a gamble. As long as you have a 3.2 technical GPA (meaning your classes only counting to your major) you’re guaranteed to be admitted. Only if you don’t have a 3.2 is it a gamble. </p>
<p>ChemE is the most competitive major in the Engineering school. You need the 3.2 gpa and you will be accepted into the major. If your gpa is below it, then it will depend upon space availability. ChemE has physical space limitations so they can’t take everyone with a gpa below 3.2 this info was given to us during the CSE orientation.</p>
<p>We are OOS and DS received the Gold National (in-state tuition) plus $10,000/year from the Engineering dept. Your stats are similar to my son’s. </p>
<p>If you do apply, make sure you put in your housing deposit when it opens up (unless they change it this year), housing assignments are based on when you pay your deposit (it was $25 last year).</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>@gman333 Were you a National Merit Finalist? Because it says that it gives preference to Finalists.</p>
<p>@MTnest I will apply but I don’t think ill be willing to pay $31k a year since most scholarships are for residents. UT is cheaper at $25-27k and A&M at $21k.</p>
<p>OP. Really? I went to UofM and I live in Texas. Minny is great school, but for Engineering both UT and TAMU are as good or better. Unless you get a full-ride, stay in-state.</p>
<p>No I was not NMF. The gold national gives preference to those in the top 10 percent of their graduating class.</p>
