What are my chances of getting into Cockrell for Mech E?
Hi, I am currently a rising senior that's aspiring to make it into Cockrell for Mech E. I'm just a little concerned that my stats may end up falling short. I'm scared for admissions season.

I'm still working on my essays right now. My most significant shortcoming is calculus from last year. I dropped a mid 80 in Calc BC and a 3 on the test. I got a 4 subscore for AB. It scares me.
I know Mechanical Engineering at UT is extremely competitive even for auto-admits, so I’m trying to get a realistic idea of where I stand.
Also, is there anything in my profile that I should especially emphasize in my essays or activities section?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
