<p>In high school I was a total bum. I figure community college at Lone Star would be a fresh new start for me. What can I do to increase my chances into getting into UT’s Engineering school? What should my GPA be at minimum?</p>
<p>I also graduated passing pre-cal and I don’t think I will be able to take calculus my first semester. Would taking a placement test get me into calculus? If I end up having to take college algebra or pre cal how far behind would I be and what can I do to catch up?</p>
<p>And a question for my brother, what can he do to get into UT’s grad school if he has a 2.8 currently in his 3rd year at Baylor? He is expected to graduate in 1 more year. If it is hopeless for UT, what about UH? I hear something about a GRE, what is it in comparison to the SAT? My brother made a 2290 on his SAT, so I am hoping he will be able to do well and increase his chances into getting into a graduate school.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
