UT Austin (2023-2024)

[alpine kettle]

Tuition is like 60-65k

[fiery pelican]

why is smu so much holy

private?

[alpine kettle]

Yes

[fiery pelican]

dang bruh

def not biased

public on top

[fervent quarry]

70% of tuition is almost a full ride

When combined with other scholarships that I’ve received and can go anywhere

[weak barn]

Have you talked to them to ensure they don’t practice scholarship displacement?

Bc if they do those other scholarships do not matter

[fervent quarry]

There’s like 1% chance I go to SMU, so I haven’t really looked much into it

[loud talon]

SMu only worth over UT if u get like presidential scholarship\

[alpine kettle]

^

or hunts

[exotic sand]

UT Austin

More like

UT better release admissions soon

[snow gull]

next wave is probably the end of jan

we can only wait

i hope i get turing but its probably just a dream that will never happen

[exotic sand]

I remember seeing u in the Princeton thread

I think

Denied party let’s goooo

[snow gull]

the Princeton denial caught me off guard

But it's whatever

If I ever have to work in grad admissions (as a prof or something) or reviewing job apps Ill just slightly prejudice myself against them

[exotic sand]

Just buy a time machine

[alpine kettle]

You will get other ivies and t10s trust the process

[wide steppe]

duren if you can afford it

otherwise lowkey jester

kinsolving if you're a girl

depends on the major

[fervent quarry]

ME

[wide steppe]

mech e shouldn't be too too bad

if you have decent stats and somewhat decent ec's

amd write good essays

[fervent quarry]

Have you heard anything about callaway house?

[wide steppe]

not abt callaway house

i would personally recommend living in a dorm for the first year tho

the unlimited meal plan is a big life saver

if you do want to live off campus tho american campus apartments are pretty good value for the price

[loud talon]

is dobey21 any good

also how about san jacinto

[alpine kettle]

Doble21 is an apartment complex

[loud talon]

available to freshman tho

also it refers to it as a residence hall

[wide steppe]

dobey21 is ok

my friends who live there don't rly like it that much

but there's a target and a bunch of food options in the same building

san jacinto is good too

same tier as duren

[loud talon]

which one has the better location

of those two

so duren and san jacinto r the best

if u can afford them

?

[wide steppe]

i'd say so yes

[loud talon]

san jacinto seems to be closer to the main stuff

like the library

GDC

gym

[wide steppe]

it rly depends

duren is closer to guad, kins dining, moody, engineering area, but far as hell from everything else

san jac is close to the jester dining halls, greg gym, pcl, and somewhat close to target

[loud talon]

im not in moody or engineering tho

[wide steppe]

cs?

[loud talon]

prolly gonna spend more time in like GDC or that area

SDS

[wide steppe]

ah

[loud talon]

but ik SDS has a bunch of CS classes

which will be in GDC i think

[wide steppe]

san jac is probably closer then

[loud talon]

wait

[wide steppe]

the gdc is kinda in a weird area where it's far from everything important

[loud talon]

which dorm has the best location

regardless of quality of dorm

[wide steppe]

i mean im kinda biased but anything near jester is good in terms of location

[loud talon]

r u in jester

[wide steppe]

it's close to greg gym if you care about it, decent dining halls, pcl, and etc

yeah

[loud talon]

i mean san jac seems close to jester

[wide steppe]

it is

[loud talon]

meanwhile

duren is far left corner

[wide steppe]

san jac also has a pretty nice cafe right next to it

[loud talon]

Honors Quad seems decent too

[wide steppe]

i've never been there tho lol

[loud talon]

what major r u btw

[wide steppe]

honors quad is ok but a few of my friends live there and ngl the quality of the dorms is pretty bad

ece

[loud talon]

ah i see

[loud talon]

yea prob wont do that

prob wont get honors anyways

[wide steppe]

it's a nice cozy place but idk if it's worth it

[loud talon]

Duren and San Jac are about 16.5k

and jester is 13.5k

so its about 3k extra

[wide steppe]

one downside of jester is that it's far from the engineering area

duren and san jac have private bathrooms in every room afaik

duren for sure

i don't remember abt san jac tho

[loud talon]

is there an ece building

[loud talon]

also private only

[wide steppe]

kind of?

it's supposed to be the eer but none of my classes were at the eer this sem lol

except for labs

[loud talon]

ah okay

ig the buildings u get r kinda random

but overall

i think san jac will be closer

to most things

than duren

and theyre same price

[wide steppe]

yeah true

[simple pier]

y'all how much does ut consider sat for mccombs? i'm auto admit, and i have a rlly good sat score but i'm not too confidence about my ecs... they're decent

[fast hearth]

noone rlly knows but i submitted a 1590 to mccombs and im non auto and got in early december

[simple pier]

do you have rlly good ecs?

also are you top ten or barely missed top six?

[fast hearth]

small priv school

so we dont rank

[simple pier]

ohh ok

[fast hearth]

decent

[simple pier]

oh okok

i hate not knowing 😭

[fast hearth]

when did u submit app?

[simple pier]

oct 27

[fast hearth]

whatttt

[simple pier]

the ppl ik who got into mccombs alr are non auto

[fast hearth]

i submitted oct 31

ahh makes sense then

[simple pier]

i've heard they see them as two completely diff applicant pools

[fast hearth]

that would make sense

[simple pier]

and there are more spots open for auto but i'm thinking it's also a lot more competition

no

i heard those were rlly random

[fast hearth]

i mean its based on ur application

thats how i knew i was getting mccombs

[fast hearth]

well lots of mccombs worthy kids r auto

[simple pier]

wait i almost forgot to congratulate you CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[fast hearth]

HAHAHA thanks

you got this!

[simple pier]

i hope so 🤞

[fast hearth]

where else r u applying

[simple pier]

so i only had ten colleges on my list and then my mom kept adding schools asking why can't you apply here and here and i could never give her a reason except not wanting to do too much work

so now i'm shotgunning 17 schools

but i'd rather go to ut over most of them

i can't just tell her i'm not getting into upenn 😭

hbu?

[daring pier]

don't like the uni?

[simple pier]

i got rid of a few like that

but they're all rllyyyyy good business programs

[alpine kettle]

Which one is closer to business buildings

[alpine kettle]

The 40 acres foundation doesnt have access to your application

Idk how they determine it

[alpine kettle]

UT instate mccombs is a great deal

Did u apply cbhp or csb

[simple pier]

csb

[alpine kettle]

Nice

Would you consider econ at UT

[fast hearth]

Yes they do

[alpine kettle]

Bros blatantly spreading misinformation 💀💀

Its the same ppl

[fast hearth]

Nope

The email said

they looked at application

[alpine kettle]

How did they read the apps so fast

[fast hearth]

its probably a gpa/score cutoff

and then they read

[alpine kettle]

Ive heard its random

[fast hearth]

here lemme ss

[alpine kettle]

This makes more sensee

Tho

Bc the ppl ik that got it

Were either valedictorian or perfect sat

So purely statbased

[fast hearth]

Yeah

im not val or perf sat

[fast hearth]

They def have access

[alpine kettle]

Blud dont u have a 1600

[fast hearth]

1590

superscore 1600

[alpine kettle]

Superscore

Yea

[fast hearth]

ut doesnt

[alpine kettle]

1590 is basically 1600

[fast hearth]

Yeah

[alpine kettle]

This say’s after you submit tho

Whats that

[fast hearth]

I mean it proves they have access lol

[fast hearth]

the scholarship app

like for other schollys

i j looked at it

not doing it

[alpine kettle]

Oh

Ivy or bust homie

Fuck allat

[fast hearth]

Yea

[alpine kettle]

I might be delusional but im somehow optimistic about my outcomes for ivyday/stanfordduke

[fast hearth]

im optimistic for stanford and duke

• penn

[alpine kettle]

Idk about allat

Im just hoping to get 1

[fast hearth]

my stanford essays r the best things ive ever written ngl

[alpine kettle]

All 3 of those are in my top 5 tho

So would be a dream fr

[fast hearth]

Yeahhh

[alpine kettle]

I rlly like my intellectual essay and diversity essay but my roommate essay isnt like super insane

[fast hearth]

my diversity essay is so diverse idk if theyre gonna read something like it

im so excited

yeah my roommate..

[alpine kettle]

Blud what

[fast hearth]

the note is quirky ig in the way i framed it

my short answers r fire too

[alpine kettle]

What kind of diversity is that? Lmk after jan 5

I wanna know

[alpine kettle]

Oh yea i highkey cooked on dem

[simple pier]

somehow same

[fast hearth]

i didnt take it as a classic diversity essay

ill explain after deadline

[alpine kettle]

Aight

[simple pier]

the stanford essays were so intimidating at first but after wriitng the short takes i felt so satisfied

[alpine kettle]

Im ngl it rlly hit me that ive been in this bubble for so long but fr yall it dont rlly matter that much where you go for college

You will be working right next to s state school kiddo

[simple pier]

ik

[fast hearth]

most will yea

[simple pier]

im not worried about being successful in life

going to a state school

[alpine kettle]

I am solely doing this for prestige atp if being honest

Which is shallow

But wtvr

[fast hearth]

oh i’ll be fine w whatever

[alpine kettle]

I need that ego boost

[simple pier]

it's just that the opportunities you get by going to a good school are too good to pass up by not trying

[fast hearth]

ya no pt in not trying

[simple pier]

exactly i'd regret not trying

and i def get that ego boost 😭

but it's okkkk cuz i still got utd and a&m

wait @alpine kettle did you get the nsmt letter from utd?

[fast hearth]

we all did

[simple pier]

that pakages was better than i expected

kinda tmepting to go to utd over a&m if ut don't work out with that

[alpine kettle]

“I want to go to a top college to succeed in life” 🤓 vs “i want to go to a top college so i can flex it at the indian parties” 😎😤

[simple pier]

second option fs

also to have uncles look at their kids in disappointment whenever college discussion comes up

[fast hearth]

well also

like ive had such high expectations from everyone around me

gotta pass em

[simple pier]

oh yea that's so real 😭

[alpine kettle]

My dads expectation is wharton so uh…..

Yea ion know bout that 😭

[fast hearth]

Yeahhhh

[wide steppe]

san jac

[loud talon]

i wish san jac had the common bathroom option

idk if i wanna clean my own bathroom

[fiery pelican]

apparently UT status broke

For people who got in

[loud talon]

Wdym

Oh yea it is

It went back to how it was before

[fiery pelican]

Yeah i saw people saying it on Reddit

it still says to accept admission tho 💀

[strange summit]

didnt get it but i applied rd

[fiery pelican]

well i mean for people who got in

it removed the congrats pop up and stuff

[timid karma]

Austin was out?

Instate?

[alpine kettle]

It releases in random waves

[timid karma]

Huh

For intls too?

[alpine kettle]

The set date is feb 1

But some instate kids

Have been getting it early

[timid karma]

Isn't Austin guaranteed for all instates?

[alpine kettle]

The himothee guy and me got in a few weeks ago as non autos

[alpine kettle]

No

Only those ranked in the top 6% of their class

Are auto admits

[timid karma]

Oh yeah top 10

@alpine kettle gotcha

[alpine kettle]

But they are still evaluated for their major

They are auto into the liberal arts college

[timid karma]

Sorry for the tag, stupid mobile interface

Gotcha thanks

[alpine kettle]

I think intls will release on feb 1

Most instate kids havent heard back tbh

Its just a few random ppl

[timid karma]

Ooook that makes sense

Since the site does say Feb 1 and haven't got anything

[alpine kettle]

Yep don’t worry

Good luck!

Which major r u

[timid karma]

Physics

Applied Physics if Austin had the option

You?

[alpine kettle]

Business

[wide steppe]

did you get your decision already?

[fiery pelican]

Business dude did

[exotic sand]

Comp sci vibes

[wide steppe]

slay

[alpine kettle]

Yes

December 7th

[fiery pelican]

Wait

[fiery pelican]

Did you really finish ?

W bro

[alpine kettle]

Yea lmao i submitted and immediately went to a new years party

Im adding 2 schools tho

Gonna take a 1 day break and then work on them

[fiery pelican]

Which ones ?

Congrats tho bro

[loud talon]

😭

[alpine kettle]

Bro i had 23 originally and only removed one from common app

So ive always had 22

I just mentally gave up on the other 2 but never technically removed them

So might as well apply atp

[alpine kettle]

Brown and Northwestern

[fiery pelican]

Dang how do u send ur teacher recs so quickly ?

Oh wait nvm

Read the first part

[alpine kettle]

Nah thats what im saying i alr had them

[fiery pelican]

Yeah I see

Makes sense

GL bro

[alpine kettle]

I was gonna add MIT and Uchicago

But didnt wanna ask

Teachers

[fiery pelican]

Bro loves prestige

💀💀

[loud talon]

Chill out bro ☠️

[alpine kettle]

Wdym

You only get to apply once in ur life

Might as well give yourself the best chance

[loud talon]

Yea but mit w

Is like only accepting people with international olympiads

Other ivies and stuff makes sense

[alpine kettle]

Wrong

2 normal kids from my school got into mit

And im a business major bro

[loud talon]

Define normal

[loud talon]

Oh then maybe idk I was thinking about cs

[alpine kettle]

High sat and gpa decent ECs good essays

Normal t20

Not like normal normal

[loud talon]

Yea that’s pretty typical

[alpine kettle]

Sloan is still difficult but not as comp as cs or eng imo

[loud talon]

The good essay part is where a lot of people lack tho

Is Sloan better than mccombs

[alpine kettle]

Good essay is subjective some ppl get into a school with their worst quality essay

[alpine kettle]

Yes by far

[loud talon]

Also u tryna go into IB

[alpine kettle]

Yes

[loud talon]

OH

THAT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE

[alpine kettle]

Im not one hundred percent sure

[loud talon]

WHY UR A PRESTIGE WHORE

[alpine kettle]

But yea for ib its all prestige

[loud talon]

Lmao it’s all connecting now

[alpine kettle]

If i was cs or premed i would just go to utd

Tbh

Fullride

So

[loud talon]

Yea for cs I don’t think prestige matters Nearly as much

Doesn’t matter at all tbh

[alpine kettle]

Same for premed

[loud talon]

I know people from UTD getting 150-200k out of undergrad

[alpine kettle]

Ig u can have better opportunities

At some schools

But premed the school doesnt directly matter

[loud talon]

Obv they’re hella smart

[alpine kettle]

For med school admissions

[loud talon]

But it’s not based on the school

[rare bobcat]

portal astrology?!?

jk

[loud talon]

Yea premed it’s mostly just to save money as well

[alpine kettle]

Mhm

Ur cs?

[loud talon]

yea combination of cs and other stuff

like linguistics

depending on what the school offers

[fast hearth]

Yeqa

yea

[fiery pelican]

Yeah it’s broken tho rn

[loud talon]

yea it reverted back to before acceptance

its weird

probably some bug

[fast hearth]

yeah

[bright badger]

Wait is UT regular decision out?

[unique pine]

no

[fiery pelican]

No

[exotic sand]

not with that attitude it wont be

[fiery pelican]

No

[bright badger]

Man😔

[fiery pelican]

It’s okay I believe u get in bro

🙏🙏

[subtle swallow]

does anyone know if a 1510 sat would qualify for auto admit as a homeschool student? ut austin site says "you will be assigned a percentile rank comparable to the average class rank of students from traditional schools who have equivalent SAT or ACT test scores" and top 6% out of that get auto admit but idk what top 6% ppl normally score 😭

[eager moat]

Should I drop out for auto admit 💀

[fervent quarry]

Im 5% and I scored a 1430 🤷🏻‍♂️

@subtle swallow

Look up SAT score distribution in Texas

[subtle swallow]

[alpine kettle]

Ayyyy

Good stop

[fiery pelican]

you could say the same abt any team ever tbh tho

thats what makes wins losses or losses wins

[strange summit]

yeah ig

but i mean a lot of bonehead moves have been made

MPJ has been throwing dimes lately

[fiery pelican]

[strange summit]

the tank doesnt matter this yr bc there are so many good qbs

[fiery pelican]

true

i feel like its more competitive though so

i dont think theres one outright great team, ravens are good but inconsistent i feel

[strange summit]

ravens slept on everyone this year but then popped off

beat the eagles and destroyed the fins to cement their top dawg spot

[fiery pelican]

pre med isnt a major at ut tho

right

[loud talon]

UW CS is like 2.9% lmaoo

[fiery pelican]

i thought u have to pick a major or sm

[alpine kettle]

Premed isnt a major altogether

Its a track

Most premed kids are bio majors

Its common knowledge

[fiery pelican]

bro

my bad man

i dont know any premed majors

[alpine kettle]

Bro needs to house one of these

Jayden blue

[fiery pelican]

lets go texas hooray

please scoe

score

[alpine kettle]

Fr

[strange summit]

god

why are colleges so hard to get into nowadays

[fiery pelican]

population

first down

[strange summit]

nah its bc of social media and the commonapp

if the limit was 8 colleges instead of 20 it would be better

[fiery pelican]

idk abt 8 💀

[strange summit]

in my opinion the ONLY reason someone should apply to more than 10 colleges is because of financial aid

there is no other excuse

[fiery pelican]

what if

i did my own thing - miles morales

[strange summit]

its impossible to fall in love with 10+ colleges

[fiery pelican]

watch me 😏

[strange summit]

i feel like im a traitor here

ut isnt my top choice 😭

[fiery pelican]

you most definitely are

[strange summit]

i dont know if going here w/o aid would be worth it

[loud talon]

oh ur OS

OOS

[fiery pelican]

oos?

yeah oos not worth tbh

40k tuition is wild

[alpine kettle]

For finance prestige matters

[strange summit]

...

well

[alpine kettle]

Thats why u always see kids who wanna go into ib shotgunning

[strange summit]

im not finance

[alpine kettle]

Like me

Exactly so u cant make generalizations lmao

[strange summit]

ha... more like 60k

[alpine kettle]

College apps is so much comp

[fiery pelican]

60/

?

[alpine kettle]

Gotta shoot ur shot

[fiery pelican]

i thought tuition was 40k ngl thats wild

[loud talon]

presitge has varying levels of importance

[strange summit]

shotgunning is a horrible idea tho

[alpine kettle]

Tuition oos is 40-48k

[loud talon]

finance/law id say prestige matters

premed/cs does not

[strange summit]

internships > prestigious academics

[fiery pelican]

yeah prestige is prob not v important for cs but ds is a bit more

[alpine kettle]

Its def not lmfao its worked with so many ppl

[fiery pelican]

considering its a newer field

[strange summit]

for cs and eng prestige and rankings does not matter

[loud talon]

not if u reuse essays smartly and are fine with spending 2k on app fees

[strange summit]

i am not ok with spending 2k on app fees

[loud talon]

although im only doing like 15 colleges

[fiery pelican]

true but im not talking about cs / eng

[strange summit]

i spend like 200 dollars at most

i got like 3 fee waivers

[loud talon]

then u can do like 3 colleges

[fiery pelican]

"only" 💀

[strange summit]

ok

but

[fiery pelican]

whats the avg in this server

[loud talon]

its nothing compared to kvd

[fiery pelican]

gotta be prob like 11 or 12

[loud talon]

def above 10

i think

[fiery pelican]

yuh

[loud talon]

i think 10 is a good number

[strange summit]

i know im getting into at least one of my top choices (bc im delusional) and so i dont think its worth it to apply if there are colleges i like better that i know i could have a good shot at

[loud talon]

but i did hella EA and no privates

so i gotta do all privates in RD

[strange summit]

besides i got into my safety which i would go over some prestigious schools so theres that

[loud talon]

yea no problem with applying to less

[strange summit]

i was gonna apply to nwu but its impossible to get into and 80k so hell nah

[loud talon]

but shotgunning is smart for some people

when the process is so random

[strange summit]

it should be the opposite imo... the standard should be 5-8 colleges

i mean in a2c its not

[fiery pelican]

agreed i dont like the idea of shotgunning but it def works

[strange summit]

but at my school most ppl are aplying to schools in New England and maybe 1-2 OOS

im actually probably the weird one because im only applying oos

[fiery pelican]

TTDDDDD

lets go tx

[strange summit]

i wanna get the hell out of my sttae

UT LEADS

[alpine kettle]

Clear block in the back against texas not called

They threw the flag

Bit then picked it up

And said no foul

L refs

[fiery pelican]

yikes

i had a feeling earlier they were biased

with the no call and stuff

[alpine kettle]

Lots of biased calls ngl

[fiery pelican]

gonna have to hope somehow a turnover happens but

[alpine kettle]

Gg

[fiery pelican]

its not lookin good

[alpine kettle]

Theyre in fg range

Its over

[fiery pelican]

wraps

lowkey tho they fought which is good

i didnt expect too much so

[alpine kettle]

Gotta hope for a blocked fg

Texas played so bad today ion know why

Texas offense has been so bad

They were elite this whole season

Smh

[fiery pelican]

yeah i mean

the turnovers def

were the issue

u remove the fumbles

we have a chance

[alpine kettle]

Thats game

[strange summit]

[fiery pelican]

[strange summit]

washington has been so good for years

[fiery pelican]

uw better option

[strange summit]

theyve been hella underrated

im so glad tho that fsu was left out

[alpine kettle]

That was so close damn

[loud talon]

the QB kinda threw some

[strange summit]

UMich's win over Bama > UMich's win over FSU

[loud talon]

like badly

[fiery pelican]

fr bruh

[strange summit]

if im being honest

it should not have been that close

[fiery pelican]

yeah they shoulda kneeled it out'

[strange summit]

i feel like the coaching calls on UW's side made it worse for them

they could have easily converted a few points here and there

[loud talon]

ig ur friend gotta go to UW now

[fiery pelican]

LOL

[ancient iris]

didn’t u ED Georgetown tho?

[alpine kettle]

No

Its ea

Nonbinding

[ancient iris]

[alpine kettle]

Tamu over ut ??

[ancient iris]

i went to tamus campus and the vibes are just so friendly so for now im leaning there but my parents def still prefer UT

[alpine kettle]

I went to tamu campus and its in the middle of nowhere

Its so boring bro

But yea i agree the southern hospitality def holds true

at tamu

[ancient iris]

LMAO the whole of college station is dedicated to tamu it’s like a cult

[alpine kettle]

They treat you nice

[ancient iris]

which I kinda like ngl…

[alpine kettle]

Tamu is a lifelong cult indeed

[ancient iris]

LOLOL

[alpine kettle]

I prefer texas bc of business and location

Integrated into the city

[ancient iris]

yea def

[alpine kettle]

Better internship opportunities most likely

Tamu alumni network is extremely strong tho

[fiery pelican]

💀 respect lowkey

[ancient iris]

yea def, except for me im hovering between business and law school so undergrad doesn’t need to be too prestigious

[alpine kettle]

Well for business it does tbf

[fiery pelican]

lowkey i think if i didnt do cs/ds i would have done law ngl

[alpine kettle]

Did u get the brown scholarship

[ancient iris]

omg the tour person was like “aggies hire other aggies” and all the Aggie parents were like YES YES

[alpine kettle]

Lowk considering it still

If i dont wanna sell my soul to ib

[fiery pelican]

if data science doesnt go well then its prob my alternative i think

parents woud prob be shcoked tho

[ancient iris]

[ancient iris]

RIGHTT

[fiery pelican]

BFRFR

[alpine kettle]

Did u get defer or reject from penn?

[alpine kettle]

No

[fiery pelican]

oh ok

[ancient iris]

nah

[alpine kettle]

Poli sci or public policy or gov

[fiery pelican]

i see

[ancient iris]

deferred lol

[alpine kettle]

Top 20%

That’s good

I heard they admitted 10 percent and deferred about 10percent

Might be wrong though

[ancient iris]

nah I’ve hated penn ever since I saw I got deferred

[fiery pelican]

ong every school that rejects me are just haters

[ancient iris]

i was preparing for rejection the days before the decision so I was thinking of all the cons of penn LOL

[ancient iris]

i immediately will hate them and remove myself from everything pertaining to that uni

[fiery pelican]

exactly

they cant outHATE me

[snow gull]

If you have any TAMU questions let me know

I live in college station so I DE, research, and commute around a&m

[snow gull]

I got on the shortlist, idk if I've been offered an interview

Like they asked me for psat and an lor

[fervent quarry]

@alpine kettle did u do McCombs Future Executives Academy?

[ancient iris]

oo do u know anything abt housing/dorm stuff?

[snow gull]

if youre planning on living on campus, we have standard dorms and LLC's

if you've been admitted, you should be able to fill out the housing application

[ancient iris]

yea I already filled it out waiting for phase 3 in April or smth

was just curious what u thought the best dorms were

[alpine kettle]

No

[snow gull]

i think hullabloo hall was most expensive but had the most amenities

dorm doesnt matter much

youll be spending most of your time not in your dorm

[fiery pelican]

Mystatus fixed

[unique pine]

did anyone get a turing interview invite? does that mean anything?

[fiery pelican]

Interviews r for borderline students apparently

Reddit source

[exotic sand]

I’ll believe that so I can cope since I didn’t get one

[snow gull]

i def got rejected turing

[unique pine]

ok this is so weird but i literally found my interviewer on reddit

[fiery pelican]

💀💀??

How

[fiery pelican]

Have hope ong

You got this

[unique pine]

https://www.reddit.com/r/UTAustin/comments/10jk0bz/ut_austin_turing_scholar_interview_2023/?rdt=48782 one of the usernames

was like the name in the email

lmao

anyways, i was mainly just wondering if there’s gonna be some technical interview style stuff bc uh im not the best at cs

[fiery pelican]

LOOOL

that’s wild good luck

[alpine kettle]

Stanford is better anyways

Have u not committed yet?

[unique pine]

i haven’t, i’m still applying to MIT but i’m 90% sure i’m going to stanford

but like

keeping my options open, yk? cause i don’t have any aid notification from stanford yet either

also cause i feel like since i’ve already done the application i might as well see it through to the end 🙌

[snow gull]

wtf youre already in stanford

[fiery pelican]

💀

bro got into stanford and is worried abt not being the best at cs

[eager moat]

Did u get UT

[fiery pelican]

2029

that seems kinda far away lowkey

[alpine kettle]

I think she is auto

[eager moat]

Bru

[eager moat]

What r ur stats 🫡🫡

[unique pine]

AH lol so uh

i don't do any like olympiad stuff or anything

i can dm if you'd like!

[eager moat]

sure

[loud talon]

stanford is better than UT CS even turing

idk why ur considering UT but ig fin aid maybe a good reason

[eager moat]

yeah LMAO

big 4 still better than turing

[snow gull]

i think turing is that good but idk

[alpine kettle]

UT price is def a bonus

If you are full pay

[eager moat]

thats tru ig

but the salary bonus from a t4 cs school prolly outweighs

[alpine kettle]

Turing has great postgrad opportunities

90k per year plus interest will be rough

If parents arent paying

[snow gull]

i dont think theres a discernible salary bonus for "t4 cs schools"

[eager moat]

yeah turing has good postgrad opportunities but t4 is pretty hard to beat... at least stanford or MIT

CMU has the highest average starting salary iirc

but it maybe because so many of its grads r cs

[alpine kettle]

CMU can take u places fr

[snow gull]

but also if youre chasing money do quant not cs

[unique pine]

quant sounds brutal

i kinda wanna do pm

[fiery pelican]

Which one u picking of two? Georgetown or UT?

[alpine kettle]

Neither

[fiery pelican]

What

?

[alpine kettle]

Depends on fin aid tbh

And if i get cbhp

[fiery pelican]

Makes sense

GL

[alpine kettle]

And if i dont get anything better
