Application Requirements

Biomedical Engineering at The University of Texas is a very competitive degree program that accepts approximately 100 students for each incoming Fall class. These students are among the top of the top 10% students admitted to The University of Texas. To be competitive for admission to the Biomedical Engineering program a student needs to be very strong in the following areas:

  1. Class Rank
  2. SAT composite score

Incoming First Year students are ranked based on theirs scores in these areas and then the students at the top of this list are offered admittance to the Biomedical Engineering degree program.


Application Process

To apply to Biomedical Engineering as an incoming 1st year or transfer student you will need to go through the general University of Texas application. To find more information on this process pleas refer to this site:

If you are a current University of Texas student and interested in transferring to the Department of Biomedical Engineering please refer to this website for the process of transferring:
http://www.engr.utexas.edu/academics/policies/pol_change-major.cfm

When transferring internally you will be competing for a spot against all other internal transfers.  These decisions are made based solely on your University of Texas GPA. For this reason it is important that you strive more for a high GPA instead of a large number courses completed.

The Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate Advising Office has NO INPUT on decisions regarding admission to the Biomedical Engineering program. Please direct your admission questions to the University of Texas Office of Admissions:
