UT Austin (2023-2024)

[alpine kettle]

Im applying to 22 schools lmao

19 reaches

[fiery pelican]

💀 true

[alpine kettle]

Hopefully i cooked on dem essays enough to bag a lil sum

[fiery pelican]

I’m prob not gonna get the likes of the other top schools I got

Applied*

But one can hope

[alpine kettle]

If i get cbhp ill prob commit unless i get one of my top top schools

[fiery pelican]

💪

I see I see

[alpine kettle]

🌽 LL

For da win

[fiery pelican]

LOL real bro

But Cornell prob would kill the da bank ACC for me so

[alpine kettle]

Shit i might to to udub now after that embarrassing loss yesterday

Smh

/j

[fiery pelican]

honestly wasn’t even embarrassing

[alpine kettle]

It def was

[fiery pelican]

💀💀 but we def could have won

[alpine kettle]

We played so shit

Secondary torched

Ewers ass

Didnt even deserve to be in that game

Washington almost choked

[fiery pelican]

Yeah true

All good we get it next yr

I finally got halfway thru my last essay bro

[alpine kettle]

We fs going 10-2 or 11-1

[fiery pelican]

on god

[eager moat]

Bro my friends brother who’s in CBHP works for Blackrock

You will go places there trust

[loud talon]

It’s def not worth going to Stanford with that much student loans

But assuming you get good fin aid or yoir parents pay

Then it’s worth

[alpine kettle]

Ye fs

[eager moat]

yeah having to apply full pay nearly everywhere is gna suck but at least my parents are covering college 100%

[loud talon]

Then it doesn’t suck ☠️

[eager moat]

it'll kinda suck for my parents lol

[loud talon]

Well yea but that’s their problem

[eager moat]

:/

[loud talon]

Plus they’re probably fine

[eager moat]

yeah probably

my moms been wanting to get a job for a while so

[loud talon]

Not like they’re suffering in poverty to pay ur tuition 😂

[alpine kettle]

UT cs instate is def worth

[eager moat]

lol

yeah ut cs is like 10k lmao

[alpine kettle]

For cs does it rlly matter where u go

[loud talon]

Yea UT tuiton is dirt cheap

[alpine kettle]

30-35k total

Tuition is like 11-12

[eager moat]

oh fr?

[alpine kettle]

Ye i talk to ut students

[eager moat]

yeah ik tuition is 10k/yr

[alpine kettle]

Like my cousins neighbors etc

[eager moat]

my cousin goes to UT

[alpine kettle]

I think its increased

[eager moat]

i didnt ask her how much it costs tho

oh rip

[alpine kettle]

It also depends on your major

[eager moat]

huh

[alpine kettle]

Like the school ur in

Mccombs tuition is different from cockrell

Not by a huge margin but it does vary

[eager moat]

inchresting

dyk how hard it is to fchange major within cockrell

e.g. i get in for mechE and then i switch to ECE

[alpine kettle]

Within the school its hella easy

I think internal transfer depends on your gpa

From school to school

[loud talon]

Mccombs and cns have a slight differential tuition

Like $2k extra

Idk why

[eager moat]

i mean cs is technically in cns lol

[loud talon]

Ye

ECE is not easy to transfer into

I asked my neighbor

It’s almost as hard as cs

1-2 people per yr

[pure tendon]

ive heard that its easier within cockrell but still somewhat difficult

my friend is BME and trying to switch to ECE, he says that they just look at your GPA and make you write an essay

he said they consider nothing else

[eager moat]

DAMN

[wide steppe]

just apply straight to ece

[eager moat]

nah i was j curious

im applying cs

[wide steppe]

oh i see

[fiery pelican]

Shlawg is a nerd

[alpine kettle]

Did anyone just get the 40 acres email

Idk why they sent it to me so late

Its due in 1 week

[unique pine]

just had my turing interview 😭

[alpine kettle]

Yoooo

How did it go

[unique pine]

ok? maybe? it was completely different from my stanford interview though

like he asked me about big o stuff and optimization + technical stuff which i wasn't too confident on but i think i did ok

i learned lots of stuff during the interview 👍

[alpine kettle]

Technical stuff? Damn

[teal dock]

for the scholarship??

i thought they just offered it to you if ur accepted

[alpine kettle]

The email to apply

[teal dock]

i got one back in october

but its talking about all the scholarships

[alpine kettle]

This one is just for 40 acres

[ancient iris]

that one is like a standard marketing email that everyone gets, whereas the 40 acres u gotta be contacted specifically for it

[eager moat]

did u have it with cally lin personally?

[unique pine]

no

e vouga was the one who reached out to me

[teal dock]

oh i see

so is that a good sign that you’ve been accepted?

like into the school

[rare bobcat]

it says its a non indicator online but it seems pretty selective this yr

[loud talon]

oh its technical?

thats weird

i thought usually college interviews werent like that

but ig a selective niche program like turing

it makes snse

[distant hound]

what are ur stats that got u an interview for turing?

[unique pine]

you can dm me for stats! but i did some autonomous apple picking research

in python, did some yolo/neural networking stuff with that

[unique pine]

not like watching you code or evaluating your syntax knowledge stuff but more assessing your thought process/logic if that makes sense!

[teal dock]

yo ik we’re in the same year but could i dm you my ut resume and lmk what you think

like if i’m competitive or whatever

[unique pine]

yes haha but take everything i say with a grain of salt 🥹

but also

since you’ve already submitted there’s probably not really a point me doing that bc atp there’s not much you can change

(that doesn’t mean no tho, feel free)

[teal dock]

yeah i know but I haven’t gotten alot of feedback on my college stuff so it’d be at least reassuring or helpful

[runic garnet]

hii do you guys know when the priority coming out

[alpine kettle]

feb 1

[runic garnet]

okkok

[simple pier]

wait y'all did anyone hear from ut yesterday?

[alpine kettle]

did you get mccombs?

[simple pier]

no 😞

i didn’t hear anything yet

[fiery pelican]

you’ll prob hear soon at least considering most of the bigger waves in January happen mid Jan

[alpine kettle]

bro submitted wisco

[fiery pelican]

I finally got the motivation a few days to bro

[alpine kettle]

W

[dawn elk]

Nope

[alpine kettle]

UT flicks

Ignore finger

(Last year)

[dawn elk]

Nice

[fiery pelican]

W!!!

[simple pier]

okok ty 😭 this wait is killing me

[west scroll]

(regular decision) I submitted my transcript a longggggg time ago before deadline, and it says it's under review for a long ass time and a few days ago (Jan 2nd), it finally said received. Does that mean I was passed the deadline or am I good, or does it mean they're gonna send results soon?

[lean imp]

ur fien caus it took like a month f or my transcript to be processed

i called them and they said they just havent lookeda t it

[west scroll]

Aight thanks 🙏🏽

Anyone get results from regular decision

[fiery pelican]

dont think regular will get decisions this soon but i may be wrong

[dawn elk]

If priority hasn't been finished, I doubt they will look at regular

The only exception I would think is auto admit

[fiery pelican]

yeah

[fervent quarry]

Why auto admits don’t hear backkkkk but non-auto dooo

Ughhh, the waiting game is killin me

[dawn elk]

Do auto admits still have to write the essays?

Or is it just send your transcript

[pure tendon]

yes

because you need to be admitted to the major

[dawn elk]

I see

[fiery pelican]

Prob cus it takes more time to decide which major they get

[toxic quiver]

do we get an email as soon as there is an update to our application status or do decisions drop as a surprise?

[pure tendon]

im p sure theres a set date but idk

they give a date range which I hate

[runic garnet]

is priority coming out before feb 1 or on feb 1

[cursive sequoia]

before

[toxic quiver]

so theres no email notif

[runic garnet]

okok

[final crest]

any update on when we will receive our RD decisions?

[rare bobcat]

It’s inconsistent

Some get some don’t

[toxic quiver]

ahh ok thanks

[simple pier]

from what i’ve seen the portal updates on thursdays and emails come fridays?

that’s what it’s been for my friends but it’s not super consistent

[blazing badger]

Should I be worried?

Does anyone else have this or should I contact admissions office, its been a month 🙂

[wide steppe]

i'd say contact them just in case

but if anything you did your part by submitting your documents

it's on them to review them now

for me mine was under review for a while too

[wide steppe]

there is an email notice usually but it's often late

i got an email notif about 2 days after i got my decision

last year decisions came out in waves until feb 1

take that as you want

[blazing badger]

Bet 👍

[loud talon]

Mine took forever

Like 3 weeks

But I would contact them just in case it got stuck in something

[sinful pier]

so do decisions usually come out on a specific day of the week or do they do waves whenever they feel like it lol

[alpine kettle]

Waves

Random

[sinful pier]

thanks i hope my wave comes soon 😁

[fiery pelican]

good luck!

[short token]

The latter

[toxic quiver]

do majority of the decisions come out feb 1st or thru the waves in january

[alpine kettle]

Majority feb 1

[toxic quiver]

AHH

[weak barn]

https://tenor.com/view/vuni-ut-austin-physics-loona-gif-5426177542135221378

[stable flame]

It's the same for me
I submitted long ago

[final crest]

same here

[blazing badger]

oh welp I sent an email anyways

should be fine then

[fervent quarry]

@alpine kettle forgot to ask

Did u get an email when you got into your major?

[fiery pelican]

I’m not him but I did

He also did tho

[limber scroll]

Check the status now. I see it as changed to received today evening

[tribal merlin]

when was ut honors due\

its showing me that my ut honors app got submitted but i think i never acutally worked on it 💀 d

doees it like submit automatically

[dawn elk]

Only the arts and sciences people had to fill out an application

Engineering was just clicking a button

[strange summit]

No you had to do a resume I think

[loud talon]

He was non auto so he only got in when he got his major no auto admit

[blazing badger]

mine still on under review, probably just need to wait

[hoary totem]

mine just went through

today or yesterday

it took a WHILE

[limber scroll]

yesterday morning it was in review and shown as completed in the evening

[simple pier]

did anyone hear back yesterday,

?*

[dawn elk]

Nope

In each wave, do they send acceptances and rejections

Or do they wait till the end to reject people

[loud talon]

Mostly wait till the end

But I’ve send people get rejected

Very rare ig

[rare bobcat]

This was the first year people got rejected early

[simple pier]

okok tyyy

[worldly badger]

No wave this week, right?

[wintry finch]

idk some people in my school "claimed" that they got in

but we're in state

[magic prawn]

Are u “ARangatan”?

[wintry finch]

i dont know what that is

so no?

[gleaming tapir]

hmm

[tame warren]

lmao that reddit troll

[rare bobcat]

Ut has released a wave between jan 10-17 for the last four years so it’s any day now I hope

[fiery pelican]

I predict 16th

[fervent quarry]

Bruh, im auto but i havent gotten decision for my major

[fiery pelican]

That makes sense cus it prob takes longer to decide which major they give you

[loud talon]

a lot of autos havent

last year the big waves was jan 30

next two thursdays i assume a lot of people will get their decisions

[glossy epoch]

is it over if i went test optional for cockrell

anyone ever heard of a test optional getting into engineering?

[fast hearth]

No

[pure tendon]

i mean maybe if youre auto and have cracked ecs and are going for a less comp major within cockrell like petroleum or something it’s possible

but i know people who were auto and had high test scores and didnt get their major within cockrell

[glossy epoch]

yea im fosho cooked

its aight

[fiery pelican]

What’s that

[exotic sand]

Oops wrong college

Be a US Citizen, permanent resident, or graduate of an accredited US high school

LETS GO

[fast hearth]

[glossy epoch]

no

for direct admissions

idk, my dad went to UT when it was a joke to get in (he had a 2.8 GPA in HS and was accepted into engineering) so he wants me to apply, but we both know my stats aren't good enough

[wintry finch]

bro when is the priority ut decisions releasing

tired of waiting for so damn long

[fiery pelican]

when most ea come out

end of jan

ish

[autumn stone]

Is it true that ut release in batches

Has anyone gotten interview request for ECB

Or similar honors for UT

[fiery pelican]

Yeah

[autumn stone]

Did you apply to honors

[fiery pelican]

Didn’t my major doesn’t have good departmental honors

I heard someone got an interview for Turing a while back tho

[autumn stone]

Oh shjt gg

[fiery pelican]

?

[autumn stone]

ecb to be accepted one must be interviewed. I have not received notice to be interviewed. I just made a joke and assumed that I didn't make it

[fiery pelican]

i assume decisions are first priortity

[autumn stone]

OHH UT comes out first

[fiery pelican]

you're welcomge gl!

[dawn elk]

ohhokok im so scared 😦 im us citizen but applying as intl student i heard its so hard for ut

[fiery pelican]

why do you have to apply as intl?

[runic garnet]

[fiery pelican]

[real wyvern]

[fluid rivet]

Anyone got in ece?

Also.. im a texas resident but am technically international… how does that affect me?

[glossy epoch]

My friend got into ECE but he’s auto admit and in state

[pure tendon]

me too, i think you still get auto admit idk abt the major or tuition tho

[hoary totem]

that’s a tough situation

are u a foreign national or DACA/undocumented

[blazing badger]

Me too

I’m a us citizen but I live in Argentina

It’s fine really not that bad

[snow gull]

from my situation, i was once classified as a nonresident but i still had the texas high school autoadmit

i changed my status to resident though so idk how that impacts the decision

[runic garnet]

i hope so, gl tho

[floral bison]

have any come out yet?

[rare bobcat]

Probably next Friday

[eager moat]

H4s count as tx resident

same for DACA

if u graduate from texas hihg school u are a resident

[snow gull]

the formal rule is that you must have graduated from a texas high school having spent the last 36 months enrolled at that high school

option 1 is through high school

To establish residency through high school graduation, you must:

Graduate from a Texas high school or receive a GED in Texas; and
Live in Texas for the 36 months immediately before high school graduation; and
Live in Texas for the 12 months immediately before the census date (usually the 12th class day) of the semester in which you enroll at the university (or another college or university).
If you are an international student seeking residency through high school graduation, you must submit a Residency Affidavit (PDF) stating that you will apply for permanent residency when you are eligible to do so.

option 2 is through domicile

This option is available to students who are:

Citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. (Non-citizens and non-permanent residents may also use this option if they have an application for permanent residency on file with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service.)
International students who possess an eligible visa.
If you are independent for tax purposes, you may gain resident status if you establish domicile in the state. If your parent(s) claim you as a dependent on their federal income tax return, they must establish domicile in the state for you to claim residency.

To establish domicile, you or your parent(s) must meet the following criteria:

Live in Texas for 12 consecutive months; and
Establish and maintain domicile for 12 consecutive months, as evidenced by:

Gainful employment in Texas;
Note: Student jobs do not qualify as gainful employment.
Sole or joint marital ownership of residential real property in Texas by the person seeking to enroll or the dependent’s parent, having established and maintained a domicile at the residence;
Ownership and operation of a business in Texas; or
Marriage for one year to a person who has established domicile in Texas.

[unique pine]

[rare bobcat]

[ruby crag]

Even rd

[snow gull]

historically major decisions have come out by end of jan iirc

[rare bobcat]

https://texadmissions.com/blog/2019/10/25/when-might-i-receive-my-major-decision-does-ut-have-rolling-admissions-for-fall-2020-freshman-ut-austin-admissions-waves

[alpine kettle]

Did anyone with the jan 12 deadline get semi

[split estuary]

r/utadmissions has a couple that have

but nothing personally

[fast hearth]

yea i got it but i had a super early deadline, trying to see if decisions r rolling

[split estuary]

as in earlier than nov 1st?

im not sure if its rolling or not since it is texas exes that runs the program

probably a batch email from what I'd think

[unique pine]

no but i'm oos if that matters

[fast hearth]

OH i thought u were instate

girl got a turing interview oos wow

[fast hearth]

No 12/18

[unique pine]

[alpine kettle]

Hermothy - legoat james 2023

[fiery pelican]

💀💀💀

[lament helm]

will ut austin likely drop on the 26th with other top publics like michigan and uiuc

[dawn elk]

It would be funny if they did

If all of my ea schools drop decisions on the 26th, that would be insane

[alpine kettle]

No

They usually mass drop jan 30

[timid karma]

Also how do the priority fee waiver scholarships work

For intls

I saw they give instate waivers

[exotic sand]

U sure? Thought it was last Friday of Jan.

[rare bobcat]

^

[warped gulch]

rd decisions are in late feb right?

[toxic quiver]

by march i think

[fervent quarry]

UGHHHHHH I fuckign hate that they can’t tell me if I got into my major or not

I want to be able to know where I’m going to start signing a lease on my apartment and shit, but UT gotta take it’s sweet ass time

[ancient iris]

[fiery pelican]

Bro switched up on A&M

[ancient iris]

[snow gull]

[fiery pelican]

im just answering their question

[runic garnet]

did anyone get in applying from an ib school

[alpine kettle]

me

[runic garnet]

can i ask what ib predicted did you applied with

[alpine kettle]

our school doesnt do predicted until february. we have mock exams in february and those grades = our predicted. we dont submit to colleges

im instate texas

we do 1-7 in terms of semester grades

5 = 87, 6 = 93, 7 = 98

and thats converted to gpa

5 = 3.3 6, 7 = 4.0

[runic garnet]

ohhh

so intl is extremely comp lol

[fiery pelican]

yup

[alpine kettle]

honors?

[fiery pelican]

[fiery pelican]

[alpine kettle]

cost is crazy

[fiery pelican]

gtech is somewhat affordable but its such a good school thats why im ready to be in debt 💪

[alpine kettle]

50k oos

[fervent quarry]

[snow gull]

UT portal rn

[fiery pelican]

word

[blazing delta]

Where are you guys getting info about the "waves" of acceptances that are happening?

Did they announce early action decision dates on social media?

[fiery pelican]

theres no info

rumored

from previosu yrs

[blazing delta]

I see

But have there been decisions given out yet for early action? There must be right?

[alpine kettle]

Yea there have been some

Most will come out all at once

End of jan

[fast hearth]

All decisions (Priority + Regular) come out by Feb 1

[blazing delta]

I see

Would've thought priority would come first but I guess its a different kind of priority

[blazing delta]

Thanks

[fast hearth]

Well technically it does, but they always also finish decisions for the regular round by Feb 1, so they release all at once.

[blazing delta]

Ok

[naive oriole]

i thought regular was by march 1st

[blazing delta]

Same

[real wyvern]

website back online, no admissions yet 😭

[snow gull]

soon ™️

[toxic quiver]

is a decision possible today?

[toxic quiver]

?

[hollow ibex]

Possible

Who knows

[shy hazel]

Ppl around me are saying ut austin decision is this friday

Does anyone know if that's true

[sinful pier]

we don’t know lmao it could be any day now

[strange summit]

Unless you see an acceptance letter in your portal, we don’t know anything about any decision yet

😢

[blazing delta]

😐

[hoary totem]

😐

[toxic quiver]

fr?

[sinful pier]

yeah lol all we know is all priority decisions will be out by feb 1st

[fervent quarry]

they probably already have them ready to go but theyre just making us wait

😢

the past two weeks or so ive logged on every day

ughhh

[rare bobcat]

Tomorrow @ 6 PM 🔥 trust

Idk 🤷‍♂️

[split estuary]

nothing gang gonna have to wait this one out

[alpine kettle]

Did anyone get in today

[snow gull]

Nope still waiting

[fiery pelican]

they really making yall wait max time fr

[quartz shadow]

isnt priority on feb 1

[pure tendon]

ye

[alpine kettle]

the wave was fake

mfs were trolling

[fiery pelican]

word

[formal haven]

which one should i choose on the housing portal

[lean imp]

I just got an email for an interview, did everyone else get one too?

i got it for the business honors program aparently

does this mean i have a good chance that i already got accepted as a normal student if they want to interview for honors program?

[real wyvern]

just found out that one of my teachers didnt submit their letter of rec on time and wasn't counted, was a stem one too

[real wyvern]

getting an interview probably means that ur app is pretty good, however the interview prob used to learn more about you and then itll be used to make their decision

so the interview is pretty important, like most interviews are

[dawn elk]

Nope

[woeful geode]

bro my counselor uploaded my rec letter on jan 8th even tho i applied priority 💀

can i still get my decision this month or nah

[real wyvern]

pretty much most if not all decisions will come out this month

so since lor is optional, if they didn't receive it then it prob wasnt considered

[woeful geode]

cuz on the schoolinks (platform my school uses for uploading materials) it says that the counselor rec letter and transcript are downloaded and have been viewed by the college even tho she submitted them jan 8th which is hella late

[woeful geode]

but what about transcript 😭

[real wyvern]

transcript should be fine

since they gotta be after grading period ends which is typically mid jan

[woeful geode]

do they not require freshman-junior transcript?

[real wyvern]

they probably received it

[woeful geode]

ok ty bro ❤️

[real wyvern]

mine was uploaded jan 7th and it says received

[woeful geode]

it sucks cuz she did the same for iu kelley and now i have to fill out the appeal form for kelley and wait until april even tho i have a 1590 and meet direct admit reqs 🥺

[alpine kettle]

Which state r u in

[woeful geode]

VA

[alpine kettle]

Ah ok

[woeful geode]

no way u got in gtown bro congrats

[alpine kettle]

Curious why apply ut when u have uva instate

[alpine kettle]

Ty

[woeful geode]

i applied uva as well but for business ut austin might be better

[alpine kettle]

Fair

The only oos public i applied to was umich

[woeful geode]

i applied mcdonough gtown as well

[alpine kettle]

Bc ross is elite

[woeful geode]

ross 😫

[alpine kettle]

[woeful geode]

[alpine kettle]

[alpine kettle]

[woeful geode]

[alpine kettle]

I feel like ima get deferred

[alpine kettle]

Depends on the moola tbh

[real wyvern]

[alpine kettle]

[real wyvern]

[woeful geode]

i got deffed too

[alpine kettle]

I liked my umich essays

[alpine kettle]

Same

[woeful geode]

mich gave such high word count

[alpine kettle]

But im basically confirmed not going usc

Price not worth it

[woeful geode]

gtown > imo

[alpine kettle]

Mccombs>

[woeful geode]

dc gives so many opportunities

[alpine kettle]

Instate

[woeful geode]

georgetown is a dream

no way bro

💀

[alpine kettle]

Yea one of the waves lol

[real wyvern]

i honestly think this fridays wave

[alpine kettle]

Idk i feel like 30th will be everything

Im literally doing a paper rn bro who tf said 2nd sem senior year is easy

I hate it so much 😭😭

[real wyvern]

[alpine kettle]

All i have to look forward to is college decisions but i alr got into my safeties so its just gonna be a shit ton of Ls

[woeful geode]

[woeful geode]

[alpine kettle]

Tiny ass class size lol

Only reason im non auto

[real wyvern]

what everyone says is u apply all ivy, theres a 0.5% chance of getting rejected from all

[alpine kettle]

Business related and community service related i had some public policy and one debate EC so i felt overall it was really Georgetown catered with the intersection in business and community

[alpine kettle]

Cap

[woeful geode]

harddd

[real wyvern]

yea ofc lmfao

[alpine kettle]

@woeful geode gtown isnt my dream but i applied rea bc they dont consider athlete or legacy early and theyre test required plus all the ea kids apply sfs

So it was kind of a strategic choice

[woeful geode]

yea i lowkey screwed myself over with wharton

i didnt have a chance from the start

[alpine kettle]

My dream school has been penn since 10th but i chickened out of ed bc every business major i know applied ed

[woeful geode]

the only business stuff i got is founder of fbla and like 3 other business/finance/econ organizations

[alpine kettle]

I wanted to perfect my essays

Did u apply any other ivies

[woeful geode]

for penn u need like an actual business

i applied to all except princeton lol

[alpine kettle]

Why not pton lol

[real wyvern]

[real wyvern]

[woeful geode]

[real wyvern]

every school has like yield prot or some shit

[alpine kettle]

Im auto admit to utd and tamu and smu is pretty easy to get into

[real wyvern]

😭

[alpine kettle]

I mean im guaranteed admission to 2 of them so

[real wyvern]

i remember seeing ppl online getting rejected from their safeties, 90% etc

[alpine kettle]

Wtf 😭😭

[real wyvern]

[alpine kettle]

Do u need a fullride or sum

[woeful geode]

i just need a top 20 ngl 😭

idc what anyone say prestige matters

[real wyvern]

did u apply purdue

[woeful geode]

[woeful geode]

nah

[alpine kettle]

Why apply to a bunch of randoms then lmao

Theres only like 10 good business schools

[woeful geode]

like uchicago economics rn is my number 1 even tho i wanna do business

[alpine kettle]

[woeful geode]

[real wyvern]

[alpine kettle]

Ah ok

[alpine kettle]

Ur stats are good why apply to so many randoms

Theres not even more than 30 prestigious colleges tbh

[woeful geode]

i had a fee waiver

[alpine kettle]

Fair

[woeful geode]

u only apply to college once other than mba so i might as well

[alpine kettle]

I could never keep track of all those portals lmfao

[woeful geode]

my spreadsheet is disgusting

i gotta zoom out to see everything

[alpine kettle]

I applied all ivies, stanny, duke and basically every good business school except mit and berkeley

I didnt apply UCs

[woeful geode]

i applied to berk ucla irvine and ucsd

berkeley is also a dream 😫

[real wyvern]

[woeful geode]

💪

[alpine kettle]

I dont have 300k to spend so i didnt apply lmao

UCs oos

So expensive

[real wyvern]

4 was free so just did 4

[woeful geode]

yea

[alpine kettle]

I see no point in writing PIQs

[woeful geode]

usc no point either they cost hella if u get in rd

[alpine kettle]

If im not gonna go

Exactly

Mccombs is better

I wouldve only gone if i got trustee

[woeful geode]

would u actually go to mccombs over mcdonut

[alpine kettle]

I have national merit so i have half tuition

[real wyvern]

half of my private essays were like copied piqs

[alpine kettle]

Depends on cost + if i get cbhp

I think i didnt advance in the 40 acres scholarship

So no fullride for me

[woeful geode]

oh dam

[alpine kettle]

Im still hoping i get cbhp

[woeful geode]

uva mcintire commerce school is insanely good too but the thing for that is u gotta apply in ur sophomore year

i want direct admit to a business school

dont wana risk it

[alpine kettle]

Same with unc kenan flagler

And berkeley

[woeful geode]

no way its for berkeley

they made me do a whole interview for haas business??

[alpine kettle]

I didnt apply uf uva unc because ut is just as good and cheaper

[real wyvern]

what happens when chatgpt gets u into harvard

[alpine kettle]

Oh then idk

[woeful geode]

that's tuff

bro my ed and ea apps sound so much like gpt cuz i didnt know how to use it back then properly 😭

[alpine kettle]

If i go 0-10 with ivies stanny duke i will be depressed asl

[woeful geode]

just assume ur not getting in any

bro

[alpine kettle]

No

[woeful geode]

that's so wild

[alpine kettle]

Thats a loser mentality

[woeful geode]

bro

[real wyvern]

if u get waitlisted for ivies are u going to accept

[alpine kettle]

Finance bros always want more

[woeful geode]

you got into mcdonut school of business

[alpine kettle]

Mcdonut

Lol

[alpine kettle]

Depends

[woeful geode]

i spent so much time on that app

[alpine kettle]

I spent hella time on umich and gtown

[woeful geode]

uchicago, cornell, and georgetown are my best best apps ever

[alpine kettle]

My best prolly penn stanford duke georgetown

[woeful geode]

[alpine kettle]

Its depressing asl lmao

[real wyvern]

its ranked 2 for cs tho

[woeful geode]

[alpine kettle]

Not allat for business tbh

[real wyvern]

[alpine kettle]

Everyone knows utcs is goated lmao

[real wyvern]

cs i feel should be top 10

[alpine kettle]

Especially turing

[real wyvern]

but didnt see in us news

should prob check cs rankings

[alpine kettle]

Georgetown is #22 on US news

But basically t20

Gtown > notre dame imo

[real wyvern]

oh wait whats that other thing called

ts?

[alpine kettle]

Idk

Niche

?

[woeful geode]

georgetown is easily a top 20

[real wyvern]

💀

[woeful geode]

it's gonna go way up in ranking next year

[real wyvern]

ts rankings i think its global

[woeful geode]

us news is fixing their algorithm

[alpine kettle]

US news is meatriding publics

[real wyvern]

qs

[alpine kettle]

Qs is shit

[real wyvern]

[alpine kettle]

Byu is a t20

💀💀

[woeful geode]

[real wyvern]

i heard ppl said qs is good 😭

[alpine kettle]

Umich overall not better than gtown imo

Ross is easily better

[woeful geode]

agreed

[alpine kettle]

But not overall

I think gtown solos notre dame too

[woeful geode]

it does

and vandy

[alpine kettle]

So i would put it 20

[woeful geode]

and dartmouth

i would put it 17

[alpine kettle]

Columbia too low idc if they cheated
