<p>1) AP Scores aren’t needed for admission. Heck, even AP classes on your transcript aren’t necessary for admission if you have taken a few classes at the local CC.
2) SAT Math + Writing, or ACT English and Writing combined + Math are the most important factors for Engineering admissions.
3) SAT IIs aren’t needed.
4) I am not exactly sure how they handle ECs, but the consensus is that UT likes to see excellence in at least one EC in addition to several other minor ECs. Regardless of the ECs you have, make sure you can write about one for Essay C showing why you’re a fit for Engineering/CS.
5) UT does not require mid year reports. However, if you fall within the automatic admission threshold in the middle of your senior year, absolutely send your new transcript.</p>
<p>This is coming from a student outside the top 7% at the time of admissions from a low-performing H.S. (where most APs are reserved for senior year) who got into Engineering.</p>
