You guys gave me lots of great advice; thanks! @junebug: personally I think I’d fit in more at UT; I’m kind of a hippy-liberal, keep Austin Weird type. That’s not to say I have anything against A&M, but I’ll make decisions when I make more trips to visit both schools. @Hkem My high school reports rank to me, so I would say yes, they report rank, and LASA is a program on the LBJ campus. Thank you so much for breaking it down for me. One more question: does UT want to see the third essay? I have two written for A&M (rough drafts), and since I’m guaranteed admission there I don’t need a third, but I know A&M likes to see the third essay. Would sending a third essay to UT help me considering my review status? @frever I won’t apply to UT on the first day, and I’ll definitely wait until my ACTs are back. Hopefully I can get a 35, maybe even 36. I think I’ll apply for environmental engineering, if they have that, and as a second choice environmental studies, maybe physics. How important are majors in admission? I’m pretty sure some kids from my school get into UT with lower stats (at least GPA) than I do, so I might have a chance to even get into the engineering school. Anything else I should know about majors?
