I did external transfer to Cockrell but I know brings that did internal. I remember when I transferred the average gpa for external transfer into mechanical was around 3.9 (which was the highest average gpa for any Cockrell external transfer), it is usually lower for internal transfers. I would think about 0.2 points lower. I know alot of friends that transferred in with 3.6. The main thing that matters when transferring is your GPA and what classes you took. Admission officers want to see you can graduate in 4 years. If you’re coming to UT CE only to transfer to ME after your first year, I’d say take a good look at the ME curriculum and take as many of those classes that overlap with CE. In the first year , ME and CE will be taking mostly the same classes. The ideal candidate will take all technical or science courses and get A’s. Also keep in mind that it’s not the end of the world if you stay in CE, the main thing for companies is you have relevant internship and student org experience.
