<p>anieo, you’re all kinds of wrong, according to the link at the bottom of my post, McCombs admission standards are very similar to that of UT as a whole, while Cockrell has several additional standards. </p>
<p>My guess as to the difference in the GPAs is as follows:
Engineerings low GPA is engineered (get it?) to be such. Teachers intentionally curve low and curve for a higher number of fails in engineering classes than they do in other classes. Its just the way it is. Claiming that you’re more elite than Engineering students is just arrogance. I personally feel engineers work harder, but I’m biased. I do know that b oth engineering and business work very hard. </p>
<p>Most importantly, you’re forgetting the real enemy, COM MAJORS! </p>
