UT Austin (2023-2024)

[alpine kettle]

why would u ever do that

[desert steppe]

i was bored

[alpine kettle]

you're wembanyama buddy

going #1 in dis bih

nah but fr

mr brown

why man

[desert steppe]

nah i’m praying for air force software

[alpine kettle]

i wrote about boy scouts

in my essay too

😭

[desert steppe]

today was my last day working at lockheed lmfao

[alpine kettle]

tuff

[desert steppe]

im actually finished if there’s a draft

[alpine kettle]

i catered my entire tamu application

and i still didnt get it

im actually dogwater

[desert steppe]

wait like u centered it around boy scouts?

idt i did that

[alpine kettle]

not in general

[desert steppe]

didn’t realize it’d be important until the interview

[alpine kettle]

but i wrote an essay on it

[desert steppe]

oh shit

[alpine kettle]

and i think smth else

related to it

i forgot

i didnt overdo it

[sinful pier]

my school was literally begging everyone to take it lmao idk why

[alpine kettle]

but i heard from ppl about scouts importance

well im not paying tamu like 15-20k

id rather pay ut 30k

speemch u got so many fullrides bro

and you still picked ut

you must love the longhorns huh

[sinful pier]

im starting to realize tamu really isnt as prestigious as i always thought but maybe im wrong

[desert steppe]

i thought turing was max prestige lmao

[alpine kettle]

didnt u get into duke

[desert steppe]

half the recruiters i’ve talked to don’t know what it is

yeah

[alpine kettle]

mf u actually sold

turing over a t10 school is insane

idc if its mid

for cs

its still duke

[sinful pier]

soooo many people i know have already gotten in with average stats idk why i always thought it was comparable to ut

[alpine kettle]

it is in some majors

like engineering

[sinful pier]

yeah tbf most i know applied for business or nursing

[desert steppe]

it’s def a level or two below UT lol

[alpine kettle]

rice > ut > tamu > rest of texas schools

[desert steppe]

for engineering it’s pretty decent but otherwise it’s a safety for most people in tx who tried in hs

[alpine kettle]

in my personal opinion

[desert steppe]

ut > rice 🥱

[alpine kettle]

only in some majors

[desert steppe]

i might be a lil biased

[alpine kettle]

like cs or business

idk about cs actually is ut better?

i think it is

[desert steppe]

yes

significantly

[sinful pier]

ive heard rice is socially dead

[alpine kettle]

rice business started 2 years ago so there is 0 comp there

ut solos

but rice premed easily destroys

[desert steppe]

ut engineering cs and business are all better i think

rice is mostly good for premed and natural science + liberal arts

[alpine kettle]

im ngl rice prolly better for everything else

stem + business is all that matters tho onb

[desert steppe]

UT math is a joke fr my double major is useless

[alpine kettle]

speemch

did you see my boy vivek ganapathy ramaswamy

when he came to campus

i heard he had some rally

i saw on insta like last month?

[sinful pier]

is he from texas?

[alpine kettle]

no

[desert steppe]

yeah lol

asked him a question

[desert steppe]

yea the line was crazy

[alpine kettle]

LMFAO U ACC WENT

[alpine kettle]

ut brown asl

innit

[fiery pelican]

WAIT HE WAS AT UT LOL???

[alpine kettle]

ye

[desert steppe]

yeah 😭

[alpine kettle]

i follow him on insta

[fiery pelican]

LOOOO

[alpine kettle]

my fucking goat

[fiery pelican]

bro

some of the things he said

[desert steppe]

i saw ken griffin and vivek back to back

[fiery pelican]

u sure u wanna follow that dude

[alpine kettle]

his policies are ass

[desert steppe]

and this other dude

[alpine kettle]

but he is indian

[desert steppe]

3 billionaires in 3 days

[alpine kettle]

so my guyyyy

[fiery pelican]

valid lowkey

like ngl

everything that comes out of his mouth is

[alpine kettle]

he has possibly the worst policies of all time

[fiery pelican]

very questionable

[desert steppe]

💀

[fiery pelican]

but hes indian

like if u arent indian in 2023 what even are you bro

[desert steppe]

idk if we can talk abt this on here but he said “climate change isn’t killing anyone so it’s obviously not real” or smth like that

[fiery pelican]

mods about to catch you

bye bro

[desert steppe]

🫡

[alpine kettle]

he is my inspiration tho: harvard undergrad, yale law school on a full ride, billionaire, presidential candidate

i mean bros parents gotta be smiling everyday

my parents would be geeking 24/7

[desert steppe]

AND he can do 30 push ups

isn’t that crazy

[fiery pelican]

30 ?!??

hes him

[alpine kettle]

bro is a brown parents dream

30 for a middle aged man is good

he was valedcitorian too

i saw his speech

from like 2003

he went to some feeder private school

[fiery pelican]

💀 he like me bro

[sinful pier]

hes so silly

[fiery pelican]

except im not a valedictorian

but like

and im also not a questionable person

id like to believe

im also not rich

or a presidential candidate

now that i think about it, im nothing like him

[rare bobcat]

this guy

😂

[worldly badger]

Did everyone get the email for sign up for housing?

It’s wired…

[rare bobcat]

yea i got it a few months ago

[worldly badger]

Why we sign up housing before admission?

[rare bobcat]

you dont have to

but early is better if you really wanna go there

[sinful pier]

cus their housing situation is a mess so you wanna get ahead of things

[loud talon]

u have to pay $50 tho

non refundable

[alpine kettle]

If itsxone of ur top choices pay it asap

For me ut is the only school I paid

Bc huge oubkic

Public

[worldly badger]

Did anyone OOS get decision?

[alpine kettle]

Someone oos got CS on reddit

[strange summit]

These results r only for priority right?

[sinful pier]

yes

[rare bobcat]

apparently new wave dropped

[loud talon]

yep today

[rare bobcat]

still no response 😦

[strange summit]

well

when did u apply @rare bobcat

[loud talon]

what major

[rare bobcat]

mid september cs

[strange summit]

oh ok

[loud talon]

oos or in state

[rare bobcat]

in

and auto

[loud talon]

yea idk

i know a guy from my school who got CS today

its kinda random ig

[final bay]

someone at my school got chem today

but they applied late oct

[loud talon]

i applied oct 29

got in last week

[fiery pelican]

w rizz

wrong chat

[rare bobcat]

ye like 5 ppl at my school got that today

[strange summit]

anyone know where I could theoretically find this result?

mystatus is so stupid

[rare bobcat]

it just is there if you see it

ig imma wait till christmas time or so which is when next wave is predicted

[dawn elk]

How does the portal look like if you got accepted

[dawn elk]

I applied October 30th and have not received a decision yet

[rare bobcat]

its like on top of all the items received right?

[random mist]

anyone know when honors releases?

[alpine kettle]

I assume after January

Latest is around April I've heard

Might be wrong tho

[worldly badger]

are you in state?

[loud talon]

Yes

[fiery pelican]

u thinking of going to ut or still waiting?

cus i think we got the same major

[loud talon]

yea

i mean i just got deferred from Duke ED

[strange summit]

damn

[loud talon]

so UT looking very likely rn

[strange summit]

you win some you lose some

in the end what happens happens

[loud talon]

yep

gonna reach in some RDs

but if i dont get lucky

[strange summit]

im def getting rejected from my top school lmfao

[loud talon]

ima go UT

[fiery pelican]

w probably will see you there considering theres only like 50 people in ssds

sds*

[loud talon]

rly?

[fiery pelican]

if u go to ut that is

yeah

its like NEW new

[loud talon]

i didnt know that

whats ur top choice

school

[fiery pelican]

ut probably

[loud talon]

nice

[fiery pelican]

anything outside is too expensive

[loud talon]

bro deferral hurts more than a rejection

i have to wait another 3 months

[rare bobcat]

ssds?

[loud talon]

just to get rejected

[fiery pelican]

its ok bro

at least u expect it kinda?

[loud talon]

yea

i expected rejection now

its just gonna be a delayed rejection

[fiery pelican]

yeah that stinks

[snow gull]

im just waiting on ut at this point

[loud talon]

waiting is the worst part

[fiery pelican]

ngl if i got rejected ed before my finals started that would have been bad

[fiery pelican]

whatd u apply as

[snow gull]

undergraduate admissions is a scheme run by private corporations

[loud talon]

also theyre gonna look at my first sem grades now

which arent as good

[snow gull]

turing

[fiery pelican]

gl!

my first sem grades have been not bad but finals could break it which i hoping it doesnt

[loud talon]

mine arent bad

but i could have tried more

[fiery pelican]

yeah probably same idk i was going through a lot more this semester than last yr tho

so i think its probably fine

[loud talon]

mhm

at least we got UT

r u applying RD

[fiery pelican]

yeah thats the good part

yeah i have like 2 schools left

[loud talon]

which ones

[fiery pelican]

most of mine were done early tho

cornell and uw madison

i dont expect to get cornell but

[loud talon]

all my early schools are not worth over UT

[fiery pelican]

might as well try

[loud talon]

like theyre all not worth OOS money over UT

[fiery pelican]

same here

[loud talon]

only ones worth over UT are like ivies and t20s, and thats also only if i like the school

[fiery pelican]

thats why i think im basically done w my decision

yeah and im only applying to one ivy so

[loud talon]

i really liked duke i dont think im gonna find another school like that

def not gonna ED2

[fiery pelican]

rough whatd u apply?

[loud talon]

i did CS at duke

[fiery pelican]

ah

[loud talon]

also they specifically say

only 10% of deferrred will get in

[fiery pelican]

dang

i mean at least theres a chance ig

[loud talon]

yea

[fiery pelican]

gl at the worst ur going to UT which is great imo

im happy i got a decision so quick ngl

[loud talon]

mhm

[strange summit]

bc ur him

[desert steppe]

you should if u can afford it

housing selection time is actually important

[west scroll]

when does RD come out

[alpine kettle]

March 1

[fiery pelican]

thanks bro 🙂

[alpine kettle]

Bros tuff

[fiery pelican]

you too bro

[eager moat]

@desert steppe yo two of my friends got into UT CS!!

they r both pretty cracked too ngl

[random mist]

did they get it today?

[snow gull]

holy what

ut cs this early?

were they priority

[eager moat]

thye both submitted in oct but yeah

[eager moat]

friday morning

they're both ranked top 10 people

[desert steppe]

yoo nice congrats to them

[eager moat]

wooohooo

[fiery pelican]

W

[alpine kettle]

Dub

[snow gull]

my mfw when ut and tamu have different ideas as to if im a resident

[strange summit]

“My my face when”

[eager moat]

why do they not count u as resident

[snow gull]

my parents thought it was a waste of time to tell tamu that im a resident or something so rn for DE i still pay resident tuition with a waiver

[eager moat]

cant u just show them like

a deed or soemthing

[snow gull]

i told them about establishing residency through domicile and havent heard back

yet

like i sent the core residency questions to ut

[eager moat]

did you move here recently

[snow gull]

like summer between 10th and 11th grade

[eager moat]

oh

i moved between school districts last summer but both are in texas anr right next to each other

moved here from florida at begignng of 9th

[quartz shadow]

when does priority decisions release

[eager moat]

theyve been releasing

[quartz shadow]

oh ok

[alpine kettle]

Feb 1

[west scroll]

my UT high school transcript is still under review

is this normal

everything else is received

[alpine kettle]

I think it takes a while for oos

[radiant moth]

oos and I submitted a copy of my transcript and it got processed the next day

[alpine kettle]

For some oos

[west scroll]

I'm in state

[alpine kettle]

Oh well ion know

Mine was insta processed basically

[exotic sand]

When do they finish with priority decision? I know they officially released Feb 1st but I don’t know if they release all the waves sooner

[alpine kettle]

I think most get it feb 1

I think this is the first year they are doing so many early

[loud talon]

yea i swear not this many people got decisions early dec last yr

so many people ik got in already

[alpine kettle]

Fr

[toxic quiver]

oos as well?

[alpine kettle]

A few i think

[worldly badger]

Anyone got OOS EE decision already?

[eager moat]

my goat ronnie

[eager moat]

i know someone who got civE instate

[wide steppe]

you applied to ece?

[distant hound]

Is it easy to declare residency in texas, my grandma lives there rn. Cuz ut austin would be bumped up my rankings if i could become a resident after the first year and pay in state tuition

[woeful geode]

🥔

[final bay]

has anyone gotten in state auto cs yet (without curing cancer and shi)

[woeful geode]

[pale root]

how hard is ut austin out of state with a 4.13 weighted gpa

[woeful geode]

Ermmmmm. Ever heard of. Erm..... 🤓 Talking to this individual known/referred to as.... a- Erm - Counselor?

_<

[wide steppe]

there are certain requirements that you have to meet

[loud talon]

Yes

[wide steppe]

https://admissions.utexas.edu/apply/frequently-asked-questions/#texasresidency

[fiery pelican]

died of cringe ngl

[alpine kettle]

Himothee did u submit cornell

[fiery pelican]

nah im submitting thurs

i got finals tmrw

[snow gull]

you must be claimed as dependent by a texas resident

so your grandmother doesnt count

however, if one of your parents lives in texas and owns residential real property or works a job for 12 months, you could be a resident

[distant hound]

Rip

Maybe i could say i work for my grandmas oil rig or something lmao

[snow gull]

do you attend high school in texas?

[distant hound]

Nope

Could i be a remote employee for my grandmas oil rig or farm lol

[fiery pelican]

💀

[woeful geode]

[alpine kettle]

[desert steppe]

there are several ways to become in state after a year even if u don’t have family living here

[distant hound]

Sick, cuz if i could do that i would consider going even if i dont get turing

[desert steppe]

depends on where else u get in but yeah it’s a solid choice

[distant hound]

My list rn would be mit, stanford, ut turing, gt, ut regular, then any ivy just cuz they so dang expensive lmao, then last resort safety school

That would be if i get in state tuition after a year

If not the 40k per year is pretty steep

[alpine kettle]

Prolly more ngl

[distant hound]

Ye tuition itself is 40+k on its own, then with room and board it would be 50k+

[alpine kettle]

Which state r u

[distant hound]

If i get turing though and in state after a year that would be so worth it, idk if ill get turing tho its a long shot

Arkansas

[toxic quiver]

when might results ea for internationals come out?

[alpine kettle]

Feb 1

[toxic quiver]

not in waves?

[alpine kettle]

Prolly not for intl

[toxic quiver]

alr thanks

[loud talon]

what major @toxic quiver

[toxic quiver]

ece

[snow gull]

hoping for a burnt orange 2024 as well

wait a minute it doesn't snow in austin

[bright badger]

Well, it did, but it didnt go well (texas deep freeze)

[tribal cypress]

anyone get into CS yet?

[fiery pelican]

i know a few at my school

[floral bison]

same

[alpine kettle]

Ye

Saw an oos

On reddit

[fiery pelican]

howd u guys get tgat role

nvm

[eager moat]

2 ppl at my school

[eager moat]

i would strangle whoever wrote this email with my bare hands if i was in the middle of the app cycle

[fiery pelican]

bro im having like impostor sydnrome

UT is hard to get into right??? idk why my brain does this

[snow gull]

ut admits by major but also the ao's thought you belonged

[alpine kettle]

Im having the opposite

Why havent they let me into cbhp yet

Jk jk

[fiery pelican]

💀

[fiery pelican]

yeah idk im like getting this bc like i didnt apply for cs, which is prob their most competitive, so it feels weird getting accepted for sm else

even tho like i do not wanna do cs at ut

[strange summit]

dont feel bad u got in which means u got in

nothing else to it

it's like saying someone who gets into an ivy RD is better than someone who gets in ED

if that makes sense

[fiery pelican]

yeah yeah

i think im just doubting my ability to get into a hard school bc i dont see myself as like good enough idk

thank you though

[tribal cypress]

do you know thier stats?

[eager moat]

both r top 1%

in class

sadly

[tribal cypress]

what ab like ECs

@fiery pelican @floral bison

[eager moat]

one of them presented at like a cybersecurity conference at stanford and got a cybersec patent

also BPA officers

[fiery pelican]

one was auto one was non auto

[eager moat]

for CS???

[fiery pelican]

both ecs prob insane i know one had an nvidia internship

yeah i go to the like one of the best hs in tx

[tribal cypress]

damn

[fiery pelican]

so its not uncommon to have non autos for cs

[tribal cypress]

class of '28 gonna be crazy

[fiery pelican]

LOL

[eager moat]

magnet or private or just competitive public?

[tribal cypress]

unless they get better offers

[fiery pelican]

magnet

[eager moat]

nce

[fiery pelican]

not really nice but thanks 💀

[boreal forge]

how do i even know if i met the priority deadline or not

[fiery pelican]

it tells you im ps

on the top

[boreal forge]

nah

submitted my app on 10/27

[clear sparrow]

that's priority

only question is if your materials were in by nov 8

if you applied for an honors college / smth needing extended resume esp^

[boreal forge]

yeah it's over for me

submitted my school transcript on the 15th

emailed them 2 weeks beforehand asking if they received the transcript and never replied

[alpine kettle]

They are so rude to oos ngl

[clear sparrow]

that's fine, is RD not ok?

does suck though, sorry to hear

[fiery pelican]

^ sry abt that

[alpine kettle]

For oos rd is even worse

[fiery pelican]

dont they say that rd and ea has no difference tho

[alpine kettle]

Priority is alr bad

[alpine kettle]

Its bs

[fiery pelican]

u think?

interesting

[clear sparrow]

that's why i applied to honors college

wanted to show i cared abt ut as oos, i couldve done more tbh

gl 😣

[alpine kettle]

Which major

[loud talon]

i didnt know that

i was gonna get moved to regular

cuz my transcript took 2 weeks to process

but it changed back

[alpine kettle]

Priority is def a boost

More so in the fact that theyre more tight for spots in rd

They rarely defer

[fiery pelican]

u got a source or like specualtion hm

[clear sparrow]

eng, no essay 💀

ext resume

[loud talon]

no essay?

[alpine kettle]

^

What does that mean

[desert steppe]

bro what

in high school??

[snow gull]

!speemch

[tall nexus]

https://i.imgur.com/HbjEdtK.jpg

[rare bobcat]

👍

ye all the cs ppl who alr got in at my school were mega cracked

but now we gotta wait a month for the next decisions cuz they went on winter break

[fiery pelican]

yeah

in hs

[alpine kettle]

Its clearly nepo

[fiery pelican]

yuppers

[clear sparrow]

sorry - like no extra essay for engineering honors college
cc @loud talon

[loud talon]

You can’t apply honors without doing the essay

[floral bison]

not all

[rare bobcat]

Nah even the debatable one too cuz of his ecs

[floral bison]

check chill

[pure tendon]

when does next wave come out?

[rare bobcat]

colleges on winter break so 2024 probably

[loud talon]

if theres no wave tmrw theres probably nothing till Jan

[rare bobcat]

yea it'll be like 20 days im guessing until next one

[glossy epoch]

anyone non auto here

[alpine kettle]

Me

[glossy epoch]

did u apply for any sorta engineering

i think im cooked

[alpine kettle]

No

[glossy epoch]

i applied cus my dad is an alumn and made me, but realistically i have like no chance lmao

when do they release decisions?

[alpine kettle]

Its rolling

Released in random waves

[glossy epoch]

oh fun

[alpine kettle]

Most come out feb 1

[fiery pelican]

nah u got this ong

[snow gull]

UT doesn't do legacy

But also admissions is dependent on major

[fiery pelican]

i dont know if he meant he did it for legacy tho

[glossy epoch]

top 15%, 1360 SAT (went optional), engineering? nah

my academics r cooked baahaha

[fiery pelican]

dang

gpa?

[glossy epoch]

weighted?

or uw

my school gpa inflates like crazy

4.7 is barely top 15% at my school

rank is more important than gpa bc of that

[strange summit]

Nah that can’t be right 💀

Our valedictorian has a 4.8

[glossy epoch]

well, AP is worht 6 to our GPA and honors worth 5

[strange summit]

Ohhh

Which means they probably recalculate it

[glossy epoch]

yea

it doesnt mean shit

gpa doesnt mean shi

[strange summit]

You guys probably do out of 5 scale then

[fiery pelican]

ermmmm actually 🤓

[strange summit]

🤓

[glossy epoch]

ut is too tuff so its calms

im not expecting it

[strange summit]

You’ll get in

[glossy epoch]

i kinda regret not sending in my sat tho

[strange summit]

What did u get

[glossy epoch]

ik ppl that have shittier sat than me, around the same rank, got into engineering

so it feels like ut likes sat even if its shitty

[strange summit]

What was ur score

[glossy epoch]

1360, 710 math, 650 eng

[fiery pelican]

i mean it mqay be something else

in their app

[glossy epoch]

naybe

[fiery pelican]

i guess we'll never know

[strange summit]

💀

[fiery pelican]

good luck though u got this

[strange summit]

I’m locked in for Austin 😤😤😤

I’m literally him

[fiery pelican]

W rizz?

[strange summit]

Absolutely not

[glossy epoch]

is it yalls #1 school?

[fiery pelican]

why not

[strange summit]

I don’t look ugly but I have 0 rizz 😭

[strange summit]

Georgia Tech
UMich
Then Austin

[fiery pelican]

uh basically cus least tuition and good school

[strange summit]

So I have -1 rizz

[glossy epoch]

damn

[fiery pelican]

-1 is wild

hope u feel better

[strange summit]

Wym feel better 😭

[loud talon]

which engineering

[glossy epoch]

chemical

[loud talon]

Test Optional will probably hurt ur chances a little but I think you still have a shot

[glossy epoch]

i might get petroleumn but id rather go to texas tech at that point

i have damn near a full ride to tx tech

[loud talon]

Chem Eng at UT is more competitive than other Engineerings except ECE and BME

[glossy epoch]

oh fr

i didnt apply to major for competitiveness

[fiery pelican]

negative rizz is a rizzease

[glossy epoch]

i care more about major than school name

so yea

[strange summit]

Omg same

I think that means we’re meant to be

[glossy epoch]

worst case, i have tx tech for practically free

[strange summit]

Which colleges are u applying to my dear

[glossy epoch]

west point, UT, tx tech

[strange summit]

Valid

[loud talon]

only three?

[glossy epoch]

yea

[loud talon]

also why not apply to USAFA or USNA

if you're going through the whole process

of nomination dodmerb

etc

[fiery pelican]

i can see why you have -1 rizz

[glossy epoch]

bc you need nominations to all

and my MOC only nominates to one

[loud talon]

oh

[glossy epoch]

and USMA was my #1 choice

[loud talon]

mine does multiple

ig its diff

based on representatives

[glossy epoch]

i got a nom from cornyn and my rep to USMA tho

im double nominated

[loud talon]

does that make a difference?

[glossy epoch]

did u apply to usna and usafa

no but its a flex

[loud talon]

usma and usafa

[glossy epoch]

cus it was 10/900

[loud talon]

i see

[glossy epoch]

have u heard back from either

[loud talon]

no

have u

i heard some people got LOAs

[glossy epoch]

no

yea but im not cracked enough for an LOA

[strange summit]

I am so nerv for all my decisions

They all come out during my midterms 💀

[fiery pelican]

when are ur midterms?

[strange summit]

Uhhh

Around late Jan

[fiery pelican]

[alpine kettle]

Wsg

[fiery pelican]

RIZZ

[floral bison]

[fiery pelican]

[floral bison]

yo btw what reach did u get into?

[floral bison]

mccombs

[fiery pelican]

i see

[floral bison]

yeah my stats are alr but i feel like i might have made my essays too boring

it is what it is

[fiery pelican]

all good ong u got this

[floral bison]

preach 🙏

[alpine kettle]

Georgetown, but UT non auto is also a reach technically

[alpine kettle]

My ut essays were trash bro

[floral bison]

jesus christ what major?

[alpine kettle]

Business + global affairs for gtown

Unspecified business for ut

[fiery pelican]

bro is mr. worldwide

[floral bison]

damn bro nice

oh wait ur mccombs too?

[alpine kettle]

Ye

Waiting on cbhp

[floral bison]

same here lol

ive heard bhp cares abt rank a lot tho

what city are u

[alpine kettle]

Its true

Bhp is a mega reach for me

for anyone tbh

But we will see

[floral bison]

me too gang 🙏

[rare bobcat]

me three gang 🙏

[fast hearth]

Same

[loud talon]

Rank 3 vs rank 1 is like the difference between one class

It’s so close

[clear sparrow]

not for engineering, that was my point but i def should've clarified

[loud talon]

Oh rly

I didn’t know mb

[crude shoal]

wait I just realized that

I thought they required 1 more essay so I clicked no

once again ut eng as intl is probably harder

I don't think I even put down one

yeah it's college of natural sciences

[short token]

Lmk if Austin snows like that

It occasionally snows in Austin but that level of snow will paralyze all of Texas

[alpine kettle]

They sent me this same graphic in a happy holidays post card lmfao

[short token]

[alpine kettle]

[fiery pelican]

I remember that this yr

Winter break 2.0

[toxic quiver]

whats a good sat score for ece applicants

[fiery pelican]

Prob depends on rest of app but 1500+ would be competitive

[toxic quiver]

alr thanks

[fiery pelican]

Yeah ofc

[clear sparrow]

ut portal says:

If you indicated that you want your test score to be used in the holistic review process, your official test score(s) will need to be received by December 8 to be considered as part of your admissions application.

if cb sent them on 12/13 am i cooked

fml

[loud talon]

I think if ur portal has them you’re good

[clear sparrow]

ty ahh - idky but i started getting nervous abt my early apps and checked all the portals lmao

[clear sparrow]

smh i promise i didnt post to brag 😭

ty but deleting, was actually scared rip

[woeful geode]

💀

[dawn elk]

The school will also see the day that you purchased the score report. So if you bought it by Dec. 8th and cb sent them later, you should be fine

It would be unfair to punish people who's score reports were sent late because of cb

[snow gull]

Wtf UT mural spotted in new orleans

[strange summit]

Bc it’s where the sugar bowl is

[fiery pelican]

LOL

[worldly badger]

Anyone familiar with the housing application? Which one is better?

[alpine kettle]

U going to the game?

[alpine kettle]

Dont pick the apartments as a freshman

[snow gull]

No

[dawn elk]

Is it a good idea to pay for the housing application now or is it pointless

Cause I don't even know if I have been accepted or not

[alpine kettle]

I paid in october lmao

[loud talon]

just do residence halls

u can choose which one later

[fiery pelican]

^

[fervent quarry]

Does anyone know what are the odds of getting into Crockell if you are auto admit?

[alpine kettle]

Decent if u have a high sat score

[fervent quarry]

🫠🫠

I have like a 1430

Since they don’t superstore

Superscore*

[alpine kettle]

How are your Eacs

ECs

[fervent quarry]

NHS pres, varsity golf, HSF Scholar, full time job, rank 11/230, plus a few others

[alpine kettle]

I think u will be fine

I feel like ut doesnt care abt essays too much for auto admits

[fervent quarry]

And SMU gave me a full ride because they liked my essay, but I’m prob not gonna go there

[alpine kettle]

Most autos outside of cs and business usually get it

[alpine kettle]

The presidential scholarship?

[fervent quarry]

Yeah

[alpine kettle]

I thought there was a whole interview process for that

And u have to apply separately

[fervent quarry]

🤷🏻‍♂️

Never mid hahaha, almost a full ride*

Just double checked

I got the distinguished scholar, Lyle, and Discovery

[alpine kettle]

Yea i was boutta say they dont give fullrides straight up

Unless you apply and get the interview

[fervent quarry]

Still, id rather go to A&M than SMU from the colleges I’ve gotten in

[alpine kettle]

I think u will get into UT

Cockrell

And obviously financial aid

[fiery pelican]

He’s real for that

[fervent quarry]

Wait, they released mccombs decisions?

For auto admits

[alpine kettle]

Im really hoping to get into one of my top 5 tho obviously theyre all delusional reaches

[alpine kettle]

For some yes but im non autoadmit

[fiery pelican]

They release in waves

^

Samesies

[fervent quarry]

Dang

[fiery pelican]

It’s random tho

[alpine kettle]

Yea

[fervent quarry]

I haven’t gotten anything back

😓

[alpine kettle]

Some of my auto friends havent got major

But me and my non auto friend got it

So its random

[fiery pelican]

Yeah most haven’t tho

It’s ok

[alpine kettle]

Most will get it feb 1

[fiery pelican]

Yup

[fervent quarry]

When did you submit

Do you remember?

Does that play a factor?

[fiery pelican]

Nah it doesn’t

[fervent quarry]

Oh okay

I submitted early October

[alpine kettle]

No my friend submitted 2-3 weeks before me and hasnt heard back

[fiery pelican]

Yeah u good dw abt it too much

^

[fervent quarry]

Alr

[alpine kettle]

October 22-24 around then i dont remember

Bro it took me longer to get into utd as an auto admit than ut austin as a non auto

Let that sink in

This shit is so random dont stress

[fervent quarry]

Hahahaha

That makes sense

[alpine kettle]

Whats ur top 5

[fervent quarry]

It took me like a week or two to hear back from UTD

[alpine kettle]

Yea it took me a long time idk why

[eager moat]

do yall know any non auto getting into cs?

[fiery pelican]

Yeah

Someone at my school

[fervent quarry]

I’ve heard it’s rlly hard but it does happen

[eager moat]

🙏

[fervent quarry]

We’ll pray for u dw

[fiery pelican]

Yeah funny thing is

His gpa is awful

But ecs are insane

[alpine kettle]

Yes

[eager moat]

both of the cs admits so far at my school are top 1% of class 🙏

[eager moat]

in what way

olys?

[alpine kettle]

Ur a junior man just grind to get auto admit

[eager moat]

physically cannot

[alpine kettle]

How

[eager moat]

i need at least 10 6.0 credits to get to the top 10% cutoff

assuming i get a 100 in everything

[fervent quarry]

1. Udub- for CS
2. GT - ME
3. Berk - ME
4. UT - ME
5. Purdue - ME

[fiery pelican]

W good luck

[fiery pelican]

Nvidia internship but Nero

Nepo*

[eager moat]

yall will olys b cracked

[fiery pelican]

I have no idea

[eager moat]

and i would rather kms than take a shitton of random ass aps over the summer

next year im tryna see if i can convince my counselor to let me take ap lit, gov, and econ online over the summer so i can just take a bunch of math classes at UTD

[strange summit]

Don’t take APs online 😭

How r u gonna take the test

[fiery pelican]

Let him cook

🫡

[eager moat]

idc about the test for lit and gov lmao

[fervent quarry]

AP gov is ez

[eager moat]

i can pravtically self study them

yeah

[fervent quarry]

I could prob do online and pass

[eager moat]

the only classes i wanna do next yr r pltw electronics and spanish lit

[fervent quarry]

Have you taken AP CSA?

[eager moat]

my school wont let me bruh

im self studying the exam

[fervent quarry]

Why lmao

[eager moat]

i transferred bw districts and my old district had CSP as the req for CSA (it was split into 9-10 and 11-12) and this district has CS1 as the prereq

so im taking classes at CC which are equivalent/more rigorous

[fervent quarry]

My small school only offering AP CSA 🙄

[strange summit]

Okay but what’s the point of self studying if you’re not tryna pass

[eager moat]

wdym

[strange summit]

The point of self-studying is for AP credit

[eager moat]

yes

[fervent quarry]

I can say the AP CSA exam was one of the easier exams you can take

Because it’s either you get it or you don’t

[strange summit]

Then why would you self study a class u don’t care about

[eager moat]

i do care about CSA

my school wont let me take it

[strange summit]

Oh ok

[eager moat]

so fkn annoying

[fervent quarry]

Will they let you take the exam?

[eager moat]

yeah

u can self study any exam except for capstone

[alpine kettle]

MIT as non top 10 percent will be extremely difficult

[fervent quarry]

My school only offers like 12 ish AP’s 🫠🫠

[alpine kettle]

Berk is so expensive oos 😭

[eager moat]

you think i dont know

💀

[fervent quarry]

Thankfully I’m well off and parents are offering to pay for it. 🙏🏻

[alpine kettle]

Udub is goated for CS but i heard they have a 2% oos cs acceptance rate

[eager moat]

put intl on top of that and it might be a miracle if i get in

[fervent quarry]

Yes, It’s rlly bad

[eager moat]

thankfully UT considers me resdient

[alpine kettle]

U live in the US right

[eager moat]

yeah

for like

[fervent quarry]

My brother lives in Seattle at least 🤷🏻‍♂️

[eager moat]

90% of my life (all of my education)

oh yeah the reason im not top 10 is bc i transferred bw districts

and my old district had different gpa weighting system than this one

[fervent quarry]

I studied in Wisconsin for a semester, and it fucked up with my rank

I would be saluditorian pretty sure if I didn’t have to leave

[eager moat]

i rly wanna get into turings but they dont rly care about stats too much just cs spike?

[alpine kettle]

Youre still auto at UT tho so its all good

[fervent quarry]

I barely made it, I was like 5.9737

[alpine kettle]

Theres some comp that if u win Youre pretty much guaranteed turing i heard

I forgot the name

[eager moat]

USACO platinum

im trying to qualify but i lowkey sold the last comp

[alpine kettle]

I think i was like 6.5 but my class size is extremely extremely small

[fervent quarry]

How small?

[fiery pelican]

Funny bc someone at my school was top 7% and didn’t make it into cs for ut but got udub a few yrs back

[fervent quarry]

It can’t be smaller than my 198 class size 🫠🫠

[eager moat]

I just really dont wanna end up in UTD

tho i get guaranteed full ride bc guarantteed nms

[alpine kettle]

43

[eager moat]

magnet?

[fervent quarry]

I’d rather go A&M

[eager moat]

yeah but

[fervent quarry]

Dang

Okay nvm

Where do u live hahaha

[fiery pelican]

A&M only issue is team

[alpine kettle]

Nice what’s ur psat

[eager moat]

TAMU prolly doesnt have fullride unless i get brown scholly

[fiery pelican]

Etam*

[eager moat]

1520

[alpine kettle]

You 2 upped me

Not even one up

[eager moat]

[alpine kettle]

You have a 1560+ im guessing

[eager moat]

didnt take yet but prolly

[alpine kettle]

I wanted it and im fr shocked i wasnt even interviewed bc i heard if ur in boy scouts they like you. Im fr an eagle scout with leadership and wrote my common app about something scouting related and didnt even make finalist 😭

[fervent quarry]

So ur like rank 4?

[alpine kettle]

3/46 when jr year ended

Some ppl left tho

[eager moat]

yeah i have a rly cracked friend who got UT admit and brown scholly

[fervent quarry]

Dang it’s crazy ur rank 3 and you don’t get auto admit

I feel like ur at a disadvantage the smaller the school

[fiery pelican]

Ong I’m happy auto didn’t matte at my school too much

[alpine kettle]

My friend chose brown scholly over ut mccombs

[eager moat]

aggie network prolly rly good for business

[alpine kettle]

Yea we usually have 7-8 acceptances every year around 40 class size

[eager moat]

CS doesnt rly matter bc youll either end up in Austin or Bay Area

[alpine kettle]

I dont like college station

[eager moat]

me neither

fucking hate that place

[fiery pelican]

[eager moat]

plano west had like 15 admits for cs alr

[alpine kettle]

I went to tamu national scholars day over the summer too

I showed all the demonsrated interest possible

At least give me a chance at brown bro

[eager moat]

ripppppp

[fervent quarry]

@alpine kettle u go to a private HS?

How is ur class size so small…

[alpine kettle]

No

[eager moat]

[alpine kettle]

Everyone

[eager moat]

[alpine kettle]

Wait @alpine kettle did u apply csb ?

Or just Canfield

[alpine kettle]

cbhp

[loud talon]

Yea but csb as business is nearly impossible

U basically have to put cs as first choice

To get csb or have a chance

[alpine kettle]

[loud talon]

Only 1 or 2 kids got in with business as first choice

[alpine kettle]
