UT Austin Thread 🤠 (2022-2023)

[timber egret]

i got capped

idk why they cap

[cunning thunder]

@shut cosmos maybe the personality simply didn’t shine through… I heard UT is big on that

[worldly island]

Same thing happened to my brother he got into Cornell eng

[shut cosmos]

the thing is it was a technical interview loll so i just solved cs problems

maybe he didn’t like how i approached them

but oh well

[main rock]

also

[cunning thunder]

Oh that was a joke

🤣

[wise abyss]

Wait guys, I applied regular decision but I got my decision today??

[shut cosmos]

oh nvm😭

[main rock]

do anyone know if there is an UTA official discord server?

admissions is so werid bruh

[timber egret]

he was a in state non auto ?

[main rock]

i got deferred cs +math

[strange reef]

Still haven’t looked!

[wise abyss]

Isn't today only the ea release date?

[shut cosmos]

oh noo gl in rd round!

[cunning thunder]

No

[wise abyss]

Why did my rd decision come back?

[cunning thunder]

It doesn’t matter if u applied EA or RD in common app

[worldly island]

Yes

[pastel sail]

i also got it and im in rd im confused

[wise abyss]

Same

Because I just called the office a week ago about mid year reports

How did they decide so fast

[cunning thunder]

If u applied before Nov 1, u are considered for priority

[wise abyss]

I applied 12/15

[worldly island]

His GPA was insane but his school was insaner so he wasn’t top 10%. Didn’t even get A&M

[cunning thunder]

That’s weird

[timber egret]

a&m didn’t take him??? wtf

[wise abyss]

I'm shocked

[lost moth]

12% acceptance rate for non auto is crazy maybe I've been looking at the auto admit lightly lol

guess I'm glad 6.06% is top 6%

[magic fox]

Thoughts on auto admit policy? Most people I’ve met are iffy bout it

[restive knot]

It’s nice in theory but fucks over people at competitive schools

[worldly island]

It’s great if you’re auto it sucks if you’re not

[restive knot]

I say this as someone at an easy school where I know autos who will definitely fail their first semester

[worldly island]

but I think it’s good I don’t want it gone or anything

[magic fox]

Yea felt like auto didn’t mean much but not being auto was bad

[magic fox]

Yea

[timber egret]

so it’s good i got capped or what

[restive knot]

i met this guy before

hes very smart

i got rejected though

[timber egret]

how’d i cry over northeastern but not UT

i’m trying to see if my friend got in

[lost moth]

well I benefited from it so I'm biased

[restive knot]

im crying rn

[lost moth]

I think uh I can see why it fucks up people in like smaller schools

[main rock]

did anyone got their turing stuff back?

[restive knot]

the last time i cried was when we put down my dog

this is so safd

[lost moth]

cap is a reject I'm sorry

it's like their way of saying reject

to me it's the same thing

[restive knot]

is cap instate only

[lost moth]

pace also is just a reject

probably

[restive knot]

char babe did you get in

[magic fox]

End of month either tomorrow or day after

[unkempt grove]

as an auto i think it isnt good. maybe a lower percent should be auto so more spots are available for others. but it’s hard to have that kind of margin that’s fairly implemented across such different schools

[unkempt grove]

i am auto AND I GOT INTO BME!!

OHMYGOD

[lost moth]

they should lower top 6% to top 4% :) /s

[unkempt grove]

I JUST CHECKED

[timber egret]

damn☠️

[unkempt grove]

YESTEYSYEUEYYEUSUSHDHSKAHHF

[restive knot]

HOLY SHITTTT CONGRATS

auto is just state law tho

[timber egret]

i’m literally clocking myself out of admission season rn

[restive knot]

so nothing u can do abt it

[lost moth]

see I told you you'd be fine

[near walrus]

True but auto doesn’t guarantee major. That honestly makes it way more competitive in general and a lot of kids will go OOS

[lost moth]

[unkempt grove]

THAANAKKYOU

[unkempt grove]

this is true

[timber egret]

lemme go turn of my email notifications

[unkempt grove]

IM SO HAPPY RN

[restive knot]

whats really fucked up is how they have a 20bn+ endowment

[restive knot]

I believe that is across all the UT campuses

[lost moth]

it's split between all the UTs but obviously UT gets most of it

[cunning thunder]

Ong one of the highest

Still @restive knot

[lost moth]

because they're the only good school

:)

[restive knot]

yeah it is

thats not my point tho

[timber egret]

fuck UT & Northeastern !

[restive knot]

I mean UTA is tier 1

[restive knot]

whats oos

Not bad at all

[lost moth]

Arlington pepelaugh

it's pretty mid

[timber egret]

if i don’t get into BU i’m literally going to a community college bro

[lost moth]

only UTD is considerable imo

[restive knot]

TIER ONE RESEARCH INSTITUTION 🥺

[timber egret]

UTA is so fucking stinky

i went there for a field trip

[lost moth]

idk tbh

[restive knot]

pls no guys I may be forced to attend UTA

[timber egret]

why

[restive knot]

It’s so fobby it hurts

[lost moth]

they just said in a leaked email that non auto acceptance rate was 12%

[restive knot]

My parents

[lost moth]

that email is super legit I already verified it

[timber egret]

i’m so glad we have school off bc i do not feel mentally okay rn

[restive knot]

bro I texted my friend and she didn’t answer 😭

I hope she got in

[timber egret]

she ain’t get in

[sly roost]

as it should be

[timber egret]

if she not answer fr

okay i’m trying to understand this capped thing

[magic fox]

U goto an alternate UT campus and get transferred to Cola if good grades

[timber egret]

okay but why do they cap ppl?

like is my stats not good ?

[reef tapir]

big W

[dusky crow]

Rejected OOS CS, not too bummed since UIUC and Gtech pulled through

[stuck cosmos]

Any reason?

[north lagoon]

[strange fable]

Internationals get their decisions around Feb end

[north lagoon]

weird

[north lagoon]

[rigid sleet]

Gonna submit this appeal what are the chances it does anything

[restive knot]

not much

[cyan quartz]

Anyone get in for comp sci

[shell garden]

anyone else auto admit not get first choice?

[restive knot]

but i uploaded an LOR from some pretty important people that are significant to my major choice, updated on my current job and stuff, etc

[steady knoll]

[steady knoll]

^

[north lagoon]

issok uiuc/gatech > ut easily

[steady knoll]

yessir but which u picking

and Y

[dusky crow]

I'm leaning more towards UIUC for now since I have family there, but gonna wait til RD decisions to make my choice

[steady knoll]

bc i got same and have no idea what to pick

[restive knot]

I got RAILED early action jesus christ

all rejections

hoping something pulls through or im gonna be living in japan

[dusky crow]

The two are both amazing in their academics, honestly the choice is more location and culture imo

[rigid sleet]

im still waiting on literally like 14 schools

[errant jacinth]

[steady knoll]

[reef tapir]

AYUSAMORZ

AYUSAMORZ

[warm jungle]

AYUSAMORZ

[shut cosmos]

yeah i think this is the majority of ppl

[warm jungle]

yeah i got into turing

without interview

[analog atlas]

usually cus interviews are for borderline applicants

so if youre already qualified then they'll probs straight admit you

[digital grove]

RAYHANORZ

[unkempt bolt]

AYUSAMORZ

RZURINGORZ

[warm jungle]

AYUSAMORZ

[steel thistle]

AYUSAMORZ IMHO

[reef tapir]

AYUSAMORZ IMHO

[warm jungle]

AYUSAMORZ IMHO

[final flame]

rejected 😂

[restive knot]

help

i got capped for psych

does that mean i'll have automatic acceptance next year? i read the agreement thing and it said i'll have automatic acceptance into cola but not any specific cola major

is cap worth doing

[digital grove]

AYUSAMORZ

[restive knot]

yeah in general no but for psychology?

[steel thistle]

FUCKING SAME

[lost moth]

I feel like cap isn't worth even if ur trying for psych since ur wasting a year basically

[lone abyss]

same lol, rejected

they really full already?

[lost moth]

oh damn Rd got decisions too? that's surprising

[reef tapir]

AYUSAMORZ IMHO

[restive knot]

i mean im not worried abt wasting a year, i think it could be fun to go to utsa

[steel thistle]

yea i was rd

[digital grove]

AYUSAMORZ IMHO

[lone abyss]

yeah im surprised

[restive knot]

i'm just worried i'll do all that work and then get denied even tho i have the minimum gpa requirement

[lost moth]

true

[lone abyss]

they didnt even get my mid-year stuff, they just went ahead and rejected

[lost moth]

I assume it's guaranteed admission to CoLA but I haven't met a cap student

[steel thistle]

i mean if u rlly wanna go to ut then cap is a good route but otherwise no

[restive knot]

it is, but i think you still have to compete for your specific cola major

[lost moth]

honestly pace > cap but idk how u get pace

[restive knot]

and idk if that competition is stiff

i already got all my decisions, i'm just deciding between tamu and cap at this point

[warped stag]

admitted into mccombs! 🎉 (for non auto)

[timber egret]

@lost moth okay since the acceptance rate went from 32% -> 12% this year, do you still think capped= rejected

[storm atlas]

wait why are there are rd decisions too with

wtf

oop another L welp

[lone abyss]

probably stat cap?

or oos cap

[storm atlas]

how did I get stat capped

there have been ppl w 3.5s accepted from my school

oh well lol

[lone abyss]

from this round?

[storm atlas]

last round

[timber egret]

wtf

[storm atlas]

but idk how comp this round is

[lone abyss]

yeah each year changes a lot

[lost moth]

yep

[timber egret]

the more i see ppl with lower stats than me get accepted, the more unlucky i think i am

[lost moth]

cap will always mean reject in my book

[storm atlas]

nah but I’m genuinely taken aback that I was rejected this early on

[lost moth]

you can always appeal ur decision later if u want

and I've seen it work

[storm atlas]

wait what does capped mean does it say that

[lost moth]

but meh I wouldn't put ur hope in it

[proven furnace]

i got into cs with a 3.6 uw

[storm atlas]

mk

[lost moth]

i saw some business guys appeal their cap and get in

[steady river]

are you OOS?

[lost moth]

so it works even for competitive majors

[storm atlas]

wait but do they say cap

like the word itself

or is it just a term ppl use

[lost moth]

it's like Coordinated admission program

or whatever

[proven furnace]

*3.54

[lost moth]

cap is just the acronym

[proven furnace]

no im in state auto

[lost moth]

it's also I think only for instate?

[storm atlas]

mine just says reject

oh I see

[steady river]

gotcha

[lone abyss]

i got like 1 new award, that aint worth a new 500 word appeal essay

[lost moth]

yea idk if the people who appealed even had new shit lol

I don't know them personally I just knew they got capped, appealed and got in

[lone abyss]

ima just take the L

[storm atlas]

same

[cunning thunder]

how many appeals work

[lost moth]

idk tbh

[lone abyss]

probably not all that well

[lost moth]

mhm

like I said I wouldn't count on it lol

[cunning thunder]

i have some significant stuff

[lone abyss]

yeah thats gotta be crazy stuff then

[cunning thunder]

that definitely wasn't included in my nov 1 app

[lost moth]

crazy how the guys I know with mid apps appeal and get in but my cracked bme friend appealed and didn't

pretty unfortunate

[cunning thunder]

i didnt write a 500 word essay

i just summarized updates

[lone abyss]

the prompt asks for an explanation of why it should be considered as well

[lost moth]

sadge

ig it's not worth

[lone abyss]

0/5 on targets+reaches

[cunning thunder]

that part barely matters

[lone abyss]

i mean go ahead and appeal if you want

[cunning thunder]

i already submitted an appeal

[lost moth]

damn

[lone abyss]

well that was fast

[cunning thunder]

yeah

i just uploaded a peer rec

transcript

and updates summarized

maybe when u appeal they look at mid year report

and mine was perfect

[lone abyss]

they got your first set of grades

and most likely, it wasn't your grades that got you rejected

[cunning thunder]

tru

it was just cuz they had no spots

[lone abyss]

eh, i might appeal for fun lol, i don't even have my mid year back yet

[cunning thunder]

i got all A+ in my mid year

[lone abyss]

my school finalizes mid year reports on feb 2 💀

[cunning thunder]

damn

[cunning thunder]

what do u think is more likely

i thought my essays were fine

maybe my peer rec will help me then

[lone abyss]

any notable impressive updates though?

[cunning thunder]

yeah

[lone abyss]

such as (if you can list)?

[cunning thunder]

i mean most germane to admissions is sat score id say

[queen seal]

Ngl I applied test optional

[cunning thunder]

idk

[queen seal]

So who knows

[cunning thunder]

@lone abyss honestly i think if they rejected me for essays/personality, my peer rec might help

it portrays me very well

idk how my friend captured me and my personality so well

but idk

[lone abyss]

i mean again, ECs probably big

[cunning thunder]

they say decisions are rarely overturned

ec are fine

[lone abyss]

appeals are usually meant for new activities or awards

[cunning thunder]

well ofc i have new activities and awards

[cunning thunder]

but applicants are rarely accepted oos so

[limber moat]

hi i j got capped from ut austin and i was wonddering how hard it is to get into compsci as cap

[cunning thunder]

hard

[dreamy knot]

pretty hard. dont accept CAP if you expect it

[stray falcon]

Ok I have 3 new state awards and got a proclamation in my city created and signed these UT mfs better let me in

[stray falcon]

don’t do cap that shit is a scam

[limber moat]

wait rly??

[stray falcon]

I’m being fr

It’s only guaranteed into COLA

[limber moat]

the liberal arts?

[stray falcon]

you just basically have to apply to transfer if you’re not cola

Yes

[dreamy knot]

dont do CAP for competitive programs

[limber moat]

😭

[stray falcon]

Fr

[limber moat]

nooooo

[tardy steppe]

is all the decision for UT out ? cuz I haven't got one yet :/

[stray falcon]

atp I’m going to tamu ☹️

[stray falcon]

I thought they were all out but ig not idk

[tardy steppe]

applied b4 nov 1

[stray falcon]

oh!

[cunning thunder]

i think if u didnt get a decision, its reject

[dreamy knot]

intended major?

[dreamy knot]

nope

[tardy steppe]

CS

[dreamy knot]

hm i would wait

[tardy steppe]

oooh that scared me

[dreamy knot]

after wednesday if u havent heard anything call the AO

[tardy steppe]

maybe cuz Im oos?

[stray falcon]

maybe

[cunning thunder]

really? I heard it happened last year

[tardy steppe]

yeah thats what Im prob gonna do

[lost moth]

gl chloe I hope u get in through appeal

[dreamy knot]

not getting your acceptance does not mean not getting in

[cunning thunder]

is in state auto really hard to get into major?

[tardy steppe]

cuz it just says my applicatoin is being reviewed not even a reject

[dreamy knot]

there r people last year who got theirs after feb 1st

[shy shard]

Got rejected

Go check portals

[tardy steppe]

and I saw many ppl getting their acceptance/rejection so

idk whats going on with mine

I just did

[stray falcon]

I am going to write the best appeal I have a rly good idea

[lost moth]

unfortunately idk how it goes for non auto because I only know auto people

[stray falcon]

Like lowkey I did more last semester than in the past 4 years

But I will not get my hopes up

[limber moat]

wait is it a little bit easier to get into ut compsci if im capped

or is it the same as non cap transfers

[stray falcon]

No it’s the same as transfer lmao

[limber moat]

wtf

[stray falcon]

yes cap is in fact a scam

[tardy steppe]

I also see a lot of ppl got their decision for umd but mines not out yet ahahaaha

whats going on with mine

[stray falcon]

idk anyone who actually did cap and ended up at UT Austin honestly

like fr no one

but I’m sure they exist

[cunning thunder]

what even is cap

[lost moth]

u do 1 year at another UT school and then if u meet the requirements u get guaranteed admission to a COLA major

[stray falcon]

yes

[cunning thunder]

but

[stray falcon]

(It’s just a fancy rejection)

[cunning thunder]

didnt u get auto admitted to UT?

what

[stray falcon]

who

[cunning thunder]

if u get cap

or

[stray falcon]

No

[dreamy knot]

cap is not for auto admits

[lost moth]

cap is only for non auto texas residents

[stray falcon]

yeah

[cunning thunder]

oh

[dreamy knot]

worst auto admits can get is undeclared

[lost moth]

mhm

[cunning thunder]

oh lmao

so just be auto admit ig

[last laurel]

How hard is it to transfer to computer engineering or computer science, if you got accepted auto admit to your 3rd choice major.

asking for a friend

[bold dagger]

How hard is it to get in off of an appeal from cap?

[brisk lichen]

got in

[limber moat]

wait what happens if i get rejected from ut cs from the cap program

do i have to go into COLA

[lost moth]

cap only gives COLA

no matter what major u applied for

[limber moat]

only?

i thought u can apply for another major after first year

[lost moth]

I mean u can try to transfer in sure

but you'll be counted as a transfer

[limber moat]

oh

[lost moth]

COLA is guaranteed, the other majors aren't

[limber moat]

ok ok

[lost moth]

those u have to try and fight for ig

[bold dagger]

Yeah it's fucked

[lost moth]

mhm

[limber moat]

im rly stressed now

[lost moth]

cap is 100% a rejection

in my book

[bold dagger]

Essentially

[limber moat]

ok ok

[lost moth]

it's just their 'nice' way of rejecting in non auto state people

[bold dagger]

How hard is appeal

[lost moth]

idk I don't have enough data points to quantify that

I'd assume very few people succeed in their appeal

[bold dagger]

I will be one of them😈

[lost moth]

maybe like 5 people max from my hs (600 people per grade)

[limber moat]

if i transfer would ut compsci look at the cap thing and make it an advantage to me by a little bit?

[lost moth]

nope

you'd be equal to someone else externally transferring

[left mason]

tbh is cap worth it? im conflicted with what i should do

[lost moth]

I wouldn't say so

just treat it as a rejection

[limber moat]

god i rly want to go into ut compsci

but not as cola

my heads gonna explode

😭

[lost moth]

as an ece major me too

[limber moat]

whats ece?

[ember quest]

Did it con

[lost moth]

electrical and computer engineering

[ember quest]

Come

[lost moth]

come out? yep

[limber moat]

ohhh

for transfer students to ut compsci what do they look for

[lost moth]

unfortunately I couldn't tell u that

[limber moat]

like high school stats or college stats

[lost moth]

cause I have no idea

[limber moat]

oh alr

[lost moth]

should be college stats tho

[limber moat]

oh

[lost moth]

like 4.0 gpa

courseload

idk

[limber moat]

damn

[rigid sleet]

Appealing as an OOS student, shooting a full court shot with this one

[limber moat]

good luck

[lone abyss]

same lol

im shooting my shoot

[ember quest]

i got an email rn about update

did anyone else

[lost moth]

pretty late email tbh

but they update the portal before they send the email so you probably got your decision a lot earlier

[limber musk]

yall saying 3 am cst?

[lost moth]

[limber musk]

i didnt even get a decision lmfao

[lost moth]

[pearl socket]

me when the We regret that we are not able to offer you admission. hits

oos CS it was a long shot

[limber moat]

damn

[limber musk]

dude i applied priority but i still dont see my decision 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[limber moat]

oos cs doesn’t even have a cap right?

[limber musk]

just says your application is complete

[ember quest]

so they didn't give decision yet

[limber musk]

you think it cud be cuz of rec letters? cuz they were sent like late nov even tho the entire app was completed before nov 1

[ember quest]

lol i can't even check rn my computer literally crashed

[limber musk]

most people their portal said under review mine just said your application is complete

[ember quest]

ok

[little forum]

they just sent the email

its been like 3 hours

[gentle flax]

Guys

Did y’all get decisions

[analog atlas]

yes

i got mine around 6:30 ish

[limber moat]

would y’all say ut compsci transfer is easier than regular admissions

[analog atlas]

but i was notified by email at 8:30

[slow bridge]

anyone know how hard it is to get in

like percent

[analog atlas]

oos is a lot harder as expected

otherwise it depends on major

[main rock]

id say maybe 5 percent for cs

at my school like 2 ppl got in for oos cs

[slow bridge]

Damn

Ussually tho

OOS versus instate

[analog atlas]

do a lot of people from your school apply?

[slow bridge]

Aren’t diff

[main rock]

yes, I go to a fairly competitive school in the bay area

[lost moth]

harder

[slow bridge]

Like they are notorious for not giving in state advantsge since they do top 6% are auto

[analog atlas]

because austin's actually not a popular choice at the hs i go to

[lost moth]

less spots

[limber moat]

damn

[lost moth]

internal transfer is harder too

[main rock]

I would say UT austin is less popular as a OOS cs candidate than UIUC and GATech

[lost moth]

makes sense

do u see the oos %

[main rock]

but still really popular

[lost moth]

not worth imo

[main rock]

because we are all shotgunning

[lost moth]

why not just go to cal

[main rock]

cuz cal isnt ea round

everyone applies to all the top ucs

but then they also app to top publics cuz yk stress/peer pressure

[lost moth]

I feel like UT isn't even worth thinking about because cal exists

kekw

[main rock]

and funny thing is then basically no one goes to oos publics after

[main rock]

cal is crazy bruh

[lost moth]

or ucla

or ucsd

[main rock]

like they take 50 ppl each year

[lost moth]

maybe uci idk about that one

[main rock]

out of a class of 500

[lost moth]

but ucla and ucsd are definitely better choices

[main rock]

i would disagree with UCSD

but yeah

[lost moth]

got a lotta ucsd cs guys at amazon

[main rock]

cuz I think ut have rly good job fairs

[lost moth]

uh

those are mid af

but if u like networking sure...

fuck networking

like it's literally just a networking event they tell u to apply on the website lol

[analog atlas]

i had no idea austin cs was THIS prestigious

[lost moth]

it's t10 cs so it should be pretty competitive

and then turing is crazy competitive

[main rock]

I think its just that my hs is in such an advance state of the "college acceptance arms race"

everyone is applying to everything like crazy

[analog atlas]

i'm still waiting on turing :,)

[lost moth]

everyone i know in turing is cracked

[limber moat]

yea ut cs is insane

[lost moth]

my brother's in turing

but he grads next semester so

[main rock]

ooo yk when turing is out

[lost moth]

no set time

it'll just come out

[limber moat]

DAMNNNNNNNN

[main rock]

is there a date that is liek "turing will come out before xxx"

[lost moth]

idk

pretty sure my brother got accepted to turing in december

but he also got into UT in december

lol

[limber moat]

damn i rly feel sad i got capped

[lost moth]

so just expect it within a month maybe?

[main rock]

anyways I am praying to get in

[analog atlas]

it will all work out !! don't get too discouraged :)

[main rock]

cuz a senpai with similar stats got into turing

but he got rej by berk and la

I hope I do better

[limber moat]

what r ur stats

[analog atlas]

i feel like i have absolutely no shot at turing LMAO

[main rock]

p good

[analog atlas]

i have zero coding comps n stuff

[limber moat]

yea i didn’t even try on turing

[main rock]

coding comps are overrated

[limber moat]

i went to tamuhack just last weekend and ik app dev, java, and python

[main rock]

the oly ppl at my school is not doing great

beside the crazily talented ones

[lost moth]

2 guys I know at turing were usaco plat 9th grade

the other one was on a nationally ranked frc robotics team

u might know them if u know frc

[main rock]

oh ggs...

I just have usamo and usaco gold

maybe usapho hm will come in clutch????

[lost moth]

should be fine probably i think they're just overkill y'know

[main rock]

i did way too many different olys for no reason

[lost moth]

i think the bar is probably lower than usaco plat

[main rock]

i fucking hope

[lost moth]

part of the exclusive 50

[main rock]

wait there is only 50 turing kids?

[lost moth]

per year

[main rock]

oh ggs no chacne

[analog atlas]

they admit more

[lost moth]

yea

[analog atlas]

but roughly 50 enroll

[lost moth]

it's like 80 admit

50 enroll

[limber moat]

do y’all know any external ut cs transfers who made it in?

[lost moth]

ik one of them went to stanford instead lol

[analog atlas]

turing kids get other cracked offers

[main rock]

ok if turing kids are stanny caliber

its ggs

[analog atlas]

so understandable

[main rock]

cuz I got deferred by cornell

ik I am not ivy material bruh

[lost moth]

well he's cracked so like

I think he's way over the bar

was on the international astronomy olympiad team for usa

lol

[analog atlas]

oh god

[main rock]

but its in that range ;-;

tbf my senpai was kinda insane too

usapho gold usaco plat

[lost moth]

my brother had 2 papers I think

by the time he applied

obv not first author, like 3rd or something

[main rock]

now that I think abt it, its not looking like an angle

oh well, UT cs is great anyways

and maybe Ill have some luck with ucs

[lost moth]

cal > utcs for sure

[main rock]

uc big lottery plz take me

well its called uc big lottery for a reason

[lost moth]

also more worth than turing

[near walrus]

Just a quick question for the future

If you’re auto but don’t get your primary major, do you get into your secondary or go undeclared?

Just wondering

And also how many ppl does CSB accept

[dreamy knot]

it depends!!! they will evaluate your second choice major but most of the time individuals who do not get their first choice get undeclared

only circumstances this year where i’ve heard someones second choice get in is plan IIs

[limber musk]

guys ece vs cs chances?

[lost moth]

both pretty bad

cs is harder

same amount of students get in, in both but cs has more applicants

[last laurel]

Hey, if I got accepted as my third choice major as an auto admit, how hard would it be to switch my major into cs later?

[dreamy knot]

COLA right?

[unkempt grove]

i guess she didnt get into her major :’)

[last laurel]

Yeah my first two choices were ece and cs, I got into for my third , history

I'm instate btw

[dreamy knot]

hm internal transfers are pretty hard especially into CS

are you interested in any other schools

[last laurel]

Yeah I applied to a bunch others both all rd

[limber moat]

what major did u get in with

[hidden iris]

did anyone who applied architecture get their decision?

[lost moth]

ECE

[limber moat]

sheeesh

how were ur high school stats?

[limber musk]

🤞🤞

[lost moth]

uh

top 6% 1570 3.88/4.4

something like that

mid ecs mid essay

back then tho they cared a lot more about ur sat

[chilly breach]

hi

[lost moth]

like I know a guy who was like top 15% mid ecs mid essays with a 1600

got in ECE not even at the end of jan, one of the earlier waves

[timber egret]

fuck ut for that acceptance drop

they wanna be neu so bad

[fleet summit]

where is the acceptance rate?

[timber egret]

32 to 12

[fleet summit]

Wtf

link?

[dreamy knot]

thats not filtering in auto admits

[lost moth]

the leaked email had the acceptance rate for non auto, oos, and intl at 12%

[dreamy knot]

its going to be lower than last years though

[lost moth]

yea that doesn't account for auto admits

[chilly breach]

they said 12% for oos and non autos

[lost moth]

it's for everything other than auto admit

[timber egret]

hmm

[dreamy knot]

i would expect 23-25

[timber egret]

they need to stop w the auto admissions

[lost moth]

ye something like that

fr lower it to top 4%

[timber egret]

damn i can’t even get into a 25% now ☠️

[fleet summit]

For overall?

Wtf

[lost moth]

I can say this because I'm almost graduated

[fleet summit]

Cs and cockrell rn

[lost moth]

for overall

[dreamy knot]

auto admissions needs to be lowered but it also… needs to stay lol

[chilly breach]

zhettsu you're ece right

[lost moth]

yep

[limber moat]

oh gosh

[dreamy knot]

and i know a lot of friends today who got undeclared for auto so like…. its not like theyre going either

[lost moth]

too bad I can't ta for the first year courses

[timber egret]

my friend with a 4.2 got capped

[lost moth]

not really worth the time

[limber moat]

u basically need perfect stats and good ec to have a chance at ut

[chilly breach]

no lol

[unkempt grove]

fr i know some dumbass mfs in that 2% margin

[chilly breach]

i got in w mid ecs and ok stats

[dreamy knot]

maybe if ur oos

[lost moth]

that's me

[unkempt grove]

no

[dreamy knot]

in states just need to have solid SAT solid rank and ECs and essays that match their major to some extent

[fleet summit]

my ecs did not match my major

[lost moth]

imagine having ecs and essays that match ur major weirdge

[dreamy knot]

LMFAO?

[limber musk]

lmao

[lost moth]

like i said different time back then

[dreamy knot]

im just saying bc its more selective after covid

yeah

[lost moth]

all that mattered was ur sat

feelsbad for u guys

[dreamy knot]

i mean it is so selective

[unkempt grove]

im in-state auto and have good stats but my ECs arent aligned w my major (bme) and i got in

[dreamy knot]

what r the ECs though

[unkempt grove]

theyre good they jus dont align

[fleet summit]

im in state top 25% and got in bme without majors aligning

[unkempt grove]

my #1 is foundation of a soccer club for low income families

[dreamy knot]

oh mah gawd

[fleet summit]

[unkempt grove]

[dreamy knot]

[unkempt grove]

i was so hype

😁

[fleet summit]

[lost moth]

[unkempt grove]

[dreamy knot]

[fleet summit]

[unkempt grove]

[dreamy knot]

oh duh im stupid LOL

[unkempt grove]

[dreamy knot]

i kinda forgot BME was im that school

[unkempt grove]

wait rly

[fleet summit]

i-

[lost moth]

yea

[unkempt grove]

tf

[dreamy knot]

i know health science honors is rly selective

[lost moth]

well u get access to honor dorms ig

[dreamy knot]

but im holding out hope

[lost moth]

but it's mainly for the money

[unkempt grove]

i get free tuition already 🤬🤬

[dreamy knot]

🙏🙏🙏

[fleet summit]

u got this!

[lost moth]

like regular guys can take honor classes anyways

[unkempt grove]

i c

[unkempt grove]

do i have to do honors dorm

[dreamy knot]

yeah but dont yall get a separate degree plan

[limber moat]

wait do oos applicants get automatic cap if not accepted

[lost moth]

nope

u can dorm wherever

i think san jac is the best

[unkempt grove]

why would i dorm honors over regular or vice versa

[unkempt grove]

noted

[lost moth]

honestly the honors dorms are smaller

lol

[dreamy knot]

perks of CNS honors is freshman research initiative automatic

[lost moth]

it's kinda funny to think about

[unkempt grove]

i get smaller dorm bc im special

[dreamy knot]

i rly want to get into FRI 🙏🙏🙏

[lost moth]

the only "perk" is being only around honors people

[unkempt grove]

ew

[lost moth]

but can u really say that's a perk

[unkempt grove]

theyre probably smelly

[dreamy knot]

that sounds toxic

[lost moth]

I don't unfortunately

[lost moth]

cns honors is a joke and everyone in it thinks that

that sounds like PACE to me

[dreamy knot]

i just want to get into FRI

🥲

[lost moth]

o research is nice

ic

yea unfortunately i have no idea how it works

[unkempt grove]

@lost moth should i fill out housing application now even though idk if im going to UT??? i dont want space to fill up :(

[lost moth]

google would be better than me

[dreamy knot]

it doesnt matter

[lost moth]

idk lol I never housed on campus

I've been living off campus

[unkempt grove]

o

[dreamy knot]

you wont get a housing offer until you pay the deposit

i did mine in like december bc it fills up rly fast

[unkempt grove]

tf

the $200 enrollmdnt deposit or the $50?

[dreamy knot]

200

50 is just to sign up

[unkempt grove]

wtf

thats so annoying

[dreamy knot]

yeah

[unkempt grove]

what happens if i pay the 50 but not the 200

[dreamy knot]

ummm so youll get a housing app but you wont be able to receive a housing offer until you pay it

[fleet summit]

df

[unkempt grove]

that is so unfortunate

[fleet summit]

thats a robbery

[unkempt grove]

is it going to fill up by march 30???

i cannot live off campus

[limber musk]

still says this

smh

[dreamy knot]

yes lol

[chilly breach]

im already suffering from impostor syndrome

[unkempt grove]

what the fuck

[dreamy knot]

you basically enter a queue for housing and once u pay enrollment they start giving out offers in march

[chilly breach]

wait are you serious

so you already have to commit by march??

[unkempt grove]

^^

[limber moat]

i think they have the housing bc u get capped

[dreamy knot]

no idts

[limber moat]

instead of reject

[dreamy knot]

but you cannot receive an offer until u put down deposit

[dreamy knot]

you dont live on the austin campus if you are capped

[unkempt grove]

im so confuse

d

im sry

LOL

[limber moat]

oh nvm then

cap gotta be rhe biggest scam

[dreamy knot]

so you pay deposit and that makes u eligible to maybe get an offer basically

[unkempt grove]

ok so i hear back from everywhere else march 30 but i really really need to live on campus if i do end up going to UT. so what should i do ???!

[chilly breach]

bruh that's actually so bad

[dreamy knot]

pay the 50 rn

[fleet summit]

Theyre trapping u basically

over it

[unkempt grove]

what will this do if i dont even pay the 200

[dreamy knot]

its nonrefundable but its better than not having a offer

[unkempt grove]

so itll still put me on the list i just wont receive official shit

?

[dreamy knot]

give you a spot in the queue

[chilly breach]

OH WAIT

[unkempt grove]

ok

[chilly breach]

you mean the housing deposit?

[dreamy knot]

its limited housing

[chilly breach]

$50

[dreamy knot]

yes

thats 50

[chilly breach]

ohhh

i alr did that

[dreamy knot]

yeah ur good then

[chilly breach]

i thought you were talking abt the actual enrollment deposit

like when you commit to a school

[dreamy knot]

no

[unkempt grove]

is it too late to do rn will i still be able to go on campus

im terrify

[chilly breach]

do it now

it's super easy

[dreamy knot]

but u have to pay the enrollment deposit before u get an offer

[chilly breach]

and fast

[dreamy knot]

[unkempt grove]
