@xrocker Just a general comment, the Dallas-area UT schools are really coming up in the world, they have great reputations. UT-Dallas and UT-Arlington. They are getting a lot of profs from out-of-state college counselors as great bargains.

You will not get in to the EE program, I am sorry. The demand is very high, they really consider the cost of a student not making it and thus “wasting a seat that another, more qualified student could have filled.” Most EE’s that made it through, when I was there, were valedictorian/salutatorian/magna cum laude types. They had a minimum GPA of 3.2 to make it in to upper division and that was tough to make, because of the grade curving.

Sorry but that is the truth. UT-Austin has a lot of other great majors, however. Anthropology, Geology, the School of Education, etc.

Best of luck.
