The problem is, UT CS is NOT AVAILABLE FOR AUTOMATIC ADMISSION

#

If the OP is into something like economics, then yes, UT is an excellent guaranteed option

#

Unfortunately that can't be said for anything like CS or EE

#

To OP, is cost an issue and have you a preference for public or private schools

yeah honestly I’m fine with that

#

I just want to go to UT because it’s my “dream school”

#

EE is the only other major I want to do

#

But sandy said that’s also pretty competitive

  • computational engineering
  • business analytics
  • informatics
  • stats/datasci
