Yes, but she should have had three years of lab science…does she three?
That might be your issue - at many or even all - of the schools.
You’ll find out.
UTK can also admit as exploratory if that happens - and then she can try and transfer in.
I don’t think the stats per se are the issue - but perhaps the HS prep for engineering. And like you said - maybe they sent out notes in error - and that would be welcome to your daughter.
You’ll find out - most certainly.
But there’s lots of schools that fit the UTK mold. UTK is becoming more popular but I can’t imagine to the level of your daughter’s stats. But if she likes UTK, there’s many others she can like - that are similar - i.e. in/adjacent to downtowns - and frankly (in my opinion) nicer campuses - UK, LSU, Arkansas (especially this one), etc.
