UT Austin (2023-2024)

[low girder]

hmm ok. maybe we’ll see each other on the 23rd lol

[alpine kettle]

Tuff are u from dallas

[low girder]

nah i’m in california lmao

[alpine kettle]

Oh word ur flying out?

[fiery pelican]

isnt that ur major already tho

[alpine kettle]

I know a dude in bhp and he highly recommends coming to discover bhp if u can

[low girder]

yea that’s the start of spring break for me so it works out

[alpine kettle]

All honors programs are a major in itself

[alpine kettle]

Im flying to dc on the 21st then flying to austin on the 22nd bro

[fiery pelican]

oh cool

[alpine kettle]

Ima be tired asf

😭

[alpine kettle]

You shouldve applied ecb

🙏

[stuck plume]

yeah lol

all of my usc friends joke about poets and quants

[low girder]

that sounds like torture, im thinking of flying out the 22nd, seeing ut on the 23rd, and maybe seeing dallas on the 24th cuz my dad has some friends there.

[alpine kettle]

Sadly georgetown is 22-23

So ima just skip the 23 part

And go to bhp

[low girder]

makes sense makes sense

[fiery pelican]

i dont think u can with a diff major lol

[low girder]

kinda regret not applying georgetown

[alpine kettle]

Is bhp one of ur top?

I assume u applied wharton

Maybe some other ivies

[low girder]

rejected wharton
deferred usc
waitlisted uva
awaiting umich, cornell, berkeley, usc rd and a few others

but i don’t know how many could top ut austin

after a year ill be able to get in state tuition

and my friend is thriving in bhp rn

[alpine kettle]

Hope to see u there man

As of rn bhp is my top but i havent toured gtown yet so

I was deferred usc umich

So 2–2-0 on reaches so far

[alpine kettle]

Honestly id only take Berkeley and umich over bhp and maybe cornell

[stuck plume]

yo my friend is asking whered u get the info for ut austin admitted students day

he got in oos cs

[alpine kettle]

There isnt one

We are talking about discover cbhp

Admitted bhp students

UT admitted students can j tour whenever

[stuck plume]

oh ok

[alpine kettle]

They have tours for admitted students

On the website

[alpine kettle]

Orientation is basically ut admitted students day lmao

[fiery pelican]

isnt that in june or sm

[alpine kettle]

Theres multiple dates

[low girder]

yea id say only usc berkeley umich have a chance over bhp but we shall see in late march. see u on the 23rd

[alpine kettle]

Usc over bhp is wild im ngl

[alpine kettle]

Yo lowk dm me when we get close we might meet up there

[fiery pelican]

alr bet

[low girder]

fsfs i’ll shoot u a dm

[alpine kettle]

Bhp is lit bro

[stuck plume]

whats bhp

[alpine kettle]

Congrats fr

[low girder]

what’s ur reasoning i’m curious

[alpine kettle]

Business honors program at Ut

[stuck plume]

oh business

hopnots

yeah

[low girder]

u too bro

[stuck plume]

i mean if you can afford usc and you like iit

more

but if youre instate save that bread

and go to ut austin bhp

mccombs is crazy

unless you're stupid rich and love LA

[low girder]

i ain’t stupid rich. we’ll see how usc aid ends up treating me (contingent on them@letting my dumbass in)

my parents would prefer me to stay here in cali tho

[fiery pelican]

tbf ut oos is pretty expensive

well imo

[low girder]

not 90k expensive tho

[stuck plume]

yeah i thought the were instate

[alpine kettle]

Mccombs is alr better than marshall imo and its cheaper also bhp does mba case based curriculum, small class sizes and great access to professors, honors kids at UT are treated like kings, networking is extremely strong and bhp kids get first access to p much all opportunities like special fairs and events just for them and also u get direct mentorship from a junior/senior in bhp. I have more reasons that i wrote down when interview prepping lol but lmk. Also it feeds rlly well into ib and consulting

[fiery pelican]

thats true

[alpine kettle]

Yea im glazing like crazy

I was just waiting to get in

😭

[fiery pelican]

"treated like kings"

insane 😭

[alpine kettle]

Honors students are the creme of the crop

Words from a ut student

[low girder]

bro kinda convinced me with that line

[alpine kettle]

Multiple actually

Lol

[fiery pelican]

yeah unless we're talking about polymathic honors or sm 💀

[alpine kettle]

Yea i meant the relevant ones

[low girder]

i need to do a bit of research into career outcomes and placement once i get all my decisions

[alpine kettle]

Theres only 125 bhp kids btw

[fiery pelican]

agreed turing csb ecb and bhp are crazy

[alpine kettle]

125 per class

I meant

So 500 total

[fiery pelican]

bro keeps flexing

we get it bro

u got in

[alpine kettle]

Bhp ecb csb turing plan 2

[fiery pelican]

whats plan 2 again

[alpine kettle]

Liberal arts honors kinda irrelevant

[fiery pelican]

nursingor sm?

[alpine kettle]

Dean scholar kinda just a research thing

Hss is decent too

[alpine kettle]

Its for liberal arts

Theres plan 2 honors and liberal arts honors

Plan 2 is better

[fiery pelican]

whats the diff

oh ok

[alpine kettle]

But both are cola

[fiery pelican]

what is hss

[alpine kettle]

Health science scholars

[fiery pelican]

[oblique raven]

anxiously waiting for a comically large ut horn to fall on ur head

[floral knot]

@slate field did you qual for ICDC

[slate field]

No

[floral knot]

🔥

didn't either

state finalist is a scam, you're just standing up there awkwardly as everyone around you is getting a trophy

it could be worse tho

apparently FBLA calls up the top 5 and the top 4 qualify 💀

[slate field]

I don’t care enough I didn’t even go state finalist

[floral knot]

lol

this year's was a lot of fun

dallas's location is kinda shit

but this one is super nice, middle of downtown with a park nearby

[slate field]

[loud talon]

Yea

[glossy epoch]

My first year in Deca and I got cooked 🫡

[floral knot]

tbh I j got carried by my partner

wouldn't have gotten state finalist on my own

I stuttered so many times in my roleplay

[fiery pelican]

they do 💀

[loud talon]

damn that sucks for that one person

[fiery pelican]

yeah happened to someone at my school last yr

[low girder]

ca fbla calls up top 10 and top 4 qualify lmao

[loud talon]

deca calls up 20

top 10 qualify

[low girder]

[fiery pelican]

interesting tx fbla just built diff

[alpine kettle]

R yall planning to go on admitted students tour

Or just pull up for orientation

[fiery pelican]

do they have an admitted students tour

i didnt even know

[loud talon]

its basically the same i thin

[alpine kettle]

When i signed up for tour last april there was a prospective students tour and an admitted students tour

They might be the same thing tho so 🤷‍♂️

[fiery pelican]

alr bet ill prob do both if there are separate things

[alpine kettle]

Prospective means ppl who havent applied yet lol

Thats the one i did last year

You would do admitted

[ancient iris]

i wanna do an admitted tour so bad but they’re all filled up on the days my district has days off 🫠

[alpine kettle]

We are allowed to skip

To tour

[ancient iris]

i am so jealous omg

[alpine kettle]

I mean its still an unexcused absence and u gotta make up th work

Like the teachers r usually chill with it

Is what im sayin

[ancient iris]

same but we only get 8 days of absences in a semester

if we go over that then well we’re forced to take exams

[alpine kettle]

I alr missed 8 days this sem

💀

I think i have to do credit recovery

But idgaf

[ancient iris]

BRO SAME I wish I could do that

but NOO these stupid rules

[alpine kettle]

Ima have to do it eventually

But idrc

[fiery pelican]

i meant to reply to cow

[fiery pelican]

[oblique raven]

(per semester)

[ancient iris]

wow. i am very sad for you guys…

3 is actually crazy though like what if you have covid

[fiery pelican]

idk how much we get ngl

but its 90% attendance

[ancient iris]

that’s prob like 10-15 days give or take

[fiery pelican]

i dont think so LMAO

i think its under 10 but over 5 at least from the absences my friends have had

[ancient iris]

oh right cuz HOLIDAYS

[alpine kettle]

I think ours is like 80% actually

😭

80 or 90 i forget

[oblique raven]

it becomes excused but we have 3 “unexcused” days

where u have no reason why you’re absent

[oblique raven]

^

[fiery pelican]

truers

[fiery pelican]

80 is great

[blazing badger]

Haven't gotten my rd decision yet -_-. Should I be worried?

[fiery pelican]

[safe ocean]

[fast hearth]

[narrow surge]

I got in!

[real torrent]

ayy gj

im still waiting for my ece honors decision

idk why UT can't release everything on the same day

they tryna be carti

[narrow surge]

Fr

I expected it to be march 1

[real torrent]

im expecting mine on march 1, but it could drop any moment

still gotta pick between UT and uiuc tho

ut's math and physics courses are iffy

uiuc great all around

[narrow surge]

Yeah, I'd say UT better in terms of location tho

[fiery pelican]

ut's math is iffy fr?

interesting

[fiery pelican]

auto?

[floral knot]

I've been to the PMA building

you can tell how much funding it gets by the state it's in

[real torrent]

i agree, but like, i care about the academics a lot. apparently the engineering physics courses are taught bad, which is not what im looking for cuz im going into engineering

[real torrent]

yeah it rly is

overall, it might be okay, but high chance i get stuck with a bad professor

[narrow surge]

Oh ya top 6%

Still feeling unreal I got in

[real torrent]

u committing?

[narrow surge]

Not yet prolly, gonna wait till Stanford, MIT, and a couple others come out 👀

[real torrent]

nice same here, except i didnt apply mit

a lot of my friends committed, i feel left out cuz i didnt yet lol

[narrow surge]

Lmaooo same

[fiery pelican]

just curious but congrats bro

[fiery pelican]

ah interesting

didnt know that

[narrow surge]

Ah makes sense

[real torrent]

yeah.... but ut's like 25k and uiuc's 55k...

but second year i can move to an apartment

so it becomes 35k

[fiery pelican]

yeah interesting

they are also diff majors so thats prob a factor

unless ur interested in both equally like me

[real torrent]

ece course requirements are eh

cs+physics is like beauty in a degree

[fiery pelican]

bro is not making it out alive either way

(joke)

[real torrent]

lmao real

[fiery pelican]

nah but lmk which one you pick

[real torrent]

i'd honestly like uiuc's courses better, its just im far away from home lol

[strange pagoda]

ayeee the goat

[fiery pelican]

either way i would prob pick somewhat soon if ur considering housing at ut

oh yeah thats also something

[real torrent]

i already applied housing

nah u chillin

my major is kinda new so there wasnt any great honor programs for it

[real torrent]

what major

[fiery pelican]

stats + ds

[real torrent]

computational engineering?

ahhh gotcha

thats a nice major ngl

[fiery pelican]

yeah it sounds sick tbh i get both

[real torrent]

if i commit to ut ece, ill do the ds track

[fiery pelican]

yessir bro give me the answers

[fiery pelican]

yeah + i didnt realize how much better it would be for in state

kinda forgot about money as i applied

[real torrent]

ohh gotcha

[fiery pelican]

im guessing u were auto or?

[real torrent]

yeah for me, if i get into a private, my parents can pay for it but its gonna be a struggle

yeah im auto

thing is, ive done a lot and i dont think ill be satisfied with just UT even tho im literally set for my career

my expectations are a bit high and im tryna bring em down

[fiery pelican]

nah i get it

mine were lower than UT

so i think thats why im ok

[real torrent]

oh fr?

are u auto?

[fiery pelican]

no im non autio

auto*

[real torrent]

ahh gotcha

well u got ut as non auto, so ur still competitive

[fiery pelican]

magnet school

[real torrent]

ohhhhhh damn

[fiery pelican]

yeah ur right i just was not thinking i could do it

[real torrent]

whats the diff between magnet and normal hs

[fiery pelican]

some aps are required and such

all classes here are honors and above

except like music and pe

[real torrent]

surprises are nice, only if they're good surprises lol. thats why im tryna lower my expectations

[real torrent]

[real torrent]

still waiting on honors lmao

[real torrent]

danggggggg thats nice

i opened my umich decision at school and i got deferred lmfao

[fiery pelican]

oh wait i thought u got honors

[real torrent]

i got engineering honors

[fiery pelican]

all good could have been rejected

[real torrent]

not ece honors yet

[fiery pelican]

oh those are diff

💀 my bad

[real torrent]

yeaa engineering honors is just scholarship money and i get access to honors dorms

[real torrent]

nah u good lol

[fiery pelican]

oh that makes sense

[real torrent]

true, but ima never open any of my decisions at school again lol

cuz the next three that i opened at home, i got accepted

honestly i think i picked the easy way out to those acceptances

ut ece is less comp than cs, i applied GT applied physics which is not rly that comp, and i did uiuc cs+x which is less comp than pure cs

i played the game right, but now im stuck with hella good choices that i can't decide from

[strange pagoda]
