#UT Austin (2024-2025)
1 messages · Page 3 of 1
might have been a great idea lowk
pretty shitty highschool
underfunded districts
i was forced into low level courses
thats never fun
this dumbass pathway for science they put me in
the dudes a year above me at my hs got to take chem instead of bio freshman year and took ap chem sophomore year
the dudes a year below me got to take ap csp as freshmen
we got nothing
actually scammed 💀
wtf
nah frl
they put me in this dumbass pathway bruh
for science
what was it
cause i was in non honors english
lmao
ill pull itu p
i was doign non honors english cause of 8th grade
so that was my pathway
and im a stem major lmao
r u in top or bottom
top
so like i couldnt do ap chemistry/ap physics junior year
oh hell naw
yeah
💀
we can skip
for like knowledge
so our ap chem avg score is a 4.3 or 4.6
had a B both sems 😭 cause i skipped regular chem
dang
our ap calc is like a 4.8 and our bc calc is a 4.9 w like 100% pass
yea reg chem is actually like necessary for ap chem for most people
basically if u get put in non honors englush u have to take "physics in the universe"
oh thats a course here and i just skipped to c mech w/o any prior knowledge
some dumbass rule cause of this collabrative project we did with science and english classes tg
so that kidna fucked me up
im not taking that shit
dude we didnt even do physics in that class
other than 3 weeks of physics
mf was yapping about history bro
he had a whole presentation on the histroy of vetrans day/ golden gate bridge
spent the first month on school saftey
this reads like an engineering ethics course
and not physics lmao
i absolutely hate phyics its the worst science and no one can tell me otherwise
bro it wasnt even ethics
he was giving the pure history
😭
why they made it
the statics of people died
and all
💀 💀
it was insane bro
oh hell naw
physics would be goated if i wasnt so ass at it
my school just has a HUGE curve
i.e 66 curves to 95
:(
56 curves to 85
so on so forth
i got a 93 on the first test and a 65 the next one 💀 but htey lowered curve to be 63 so we clutched the A
100% mcq 30% frq has to be some diabolical shit
nah i suck at it and even if i was good i wouldnt like it
i prefer bio wayyyy more and chem is tolerable
imma tell my teacher to calculate the velocity of me throwing myself off the roof
if i travel X = 5 meters
Yo = 10 meters
a = g
assume no air resistance or friction
vo = 5 m/s find v as i hit the ground
oh
my ap physics teacher does not curve at all
lmao
its ap physics c
average on the work energy test was 60 percent iirc
she did not curve or offer retets for this unit...
Mine either
And you get lucky if you pass her tests
Only three kids pass the tests normally
Everyone else gets either C’s or straight F’s
Girl has no mercy unless you’re her fav
😭
people get C's and B's bruh
last year the teacher gave unlimited retakes, and in fact curved the work energy test for students
but this year she removed that
Oh no
we have one retake chanceand she puts in the reecent test score regardless lower or higher bruh
and we werent allowed to retake the work energy test
Oh god
last year she put the highest score in bruh
like u can fail ur retake but ur highest score from orginal and retake will be in
good thing im taking this class a senior though
currently have a 79
💀 💀 💀
And a C is great for a class like that
so hopefully 100
ig
Wooooooo🥳🥳
REAL
i need thanksgving break asap
No me too
and then after thanksgiving break
only 15 school days until
winter break
and im done
WHOOP WHOOP
😍 😍 😍
THEN COLLEGE APPS IS OVER
At least writing everything
Oh perffff
AS YOU SHOULD
Where are you going
YAAAARRRR
Wait how do you go to the top section of this thread
With the information about the school ._.
Do I have to scroll all the way or is there a way
I don’t have that button ;-;
oh that too
maybe thats y
And film ig yeah lol
yeah thanks
i got a rec letter from a faculty member from ut austin
so
🤞🏿 🤞🏿 🤞🏿
WAIT THATS SO GOOD
minor?
Prob!
Yaaaa
yeah
Yea
Oos eng?
yes
out of state
Oh..
FUUUUUCKK

Am I cooked cause I applied RD and not EA x_x
Logically I know the answer is no but I need reassurance lol
I only decided to apply here end of october aka after the ea deadline and I emailed and asked if I could switch to ea and they said no
no
if you are a strong applicant
it doesnt matter when yiu apply
UT doesnt even really do EA/RD
the review process is the same rly
How do you apply for housing lol
search it up itll take u to housing portal
shit ur comitted to ut austin
uhh my thing changed from tx resident to foreign
it never asked me for a residency affidavit or anyt
Does anyone know what requirements of submitting a highschool transcript is? I'm an international student. I've submitted 2 times already but declined. First time, they told me to add my IGCSE official grades. So I added IGCSE and AS level to the highschool transcript but still declined
did ut austin has a low acceptance rate for OOS?
🙃sadly
If I take the december sat (December 7th) would UT Austin still accept the score that comes since the test took place before the supplemental deadline ?
are u applying for rd or ea
as long as the score gets there before the deadline
rd
are your guys all OOS, or your guys from state. Just curious🤔
Im OOS
im international
respect your dudes🫡, so low acceptance oos and international
Facts lol
oos
in state
8%
but being delusional is the solution
crazy but make sense
how much easier is it to get in as in state
much easier if top 6%
good to hear
The 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now open, and we are here to help!
This email was foul 
ong they do it on purpose LOL
You're accepted,
nah bro same
😭
dude everytime i get a email from UT Austin
i be thinking its a decision
😭
dont expect nun until the deadline
😭 🙏🏿
bro dont say allat
im a engineering major from oos 😭
at least you arent CS 😭
how do i turn in residency affidavit
does ut come out on jan 15 or before
do they release it in waves? I thought all ea decisions release jan 5
is there a chance they release before deadline?
nah
its all at once
What abt this?
just saw ut's announcement abt free tuition for households making under 100k
but its only for in state 😭
imagine familes making 100,001
"mom mom please work less this yr 🥺 "
"if you dont clock in 6 minutes we get free tuition!"
the amount of emails they send is sending me
for some reason they've really picked up the pace
i barely get emails from ut but i just got 3 in a row
ut austin releases some decisions in early waves 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
Same LMAO
same lol
LOL i just got another 4 minutes ago
same lmao
Would this make UT more competitive? That seems to be a consensus rn
Fs
It gives more ppl a reason to apply
If u were on the verge of knocking it off ur list
Free tuition would make u keep it
bro same
i got like 2 emails
or some in a row
UT Austin emails always have a subject of “The Hard Part is Over…” or “Becoming a Longhorn….”
LMFAO SAME
getting my hopoes up like that bro
IKR like you have an 8% acceptance rate OOS just say it how it is UT Austin
did anyone do the extenuating circumstance optional essay
can it be extremely straight forward
is there a wave coming out today?
likely not
how long was ur additional info section
like ~100 words?
I'm writing about being a caretaker for my father who died the same year from illness so idk how long smth like that should be
I'm not sure sorry
My circumstance was VERY different
i did, i got to the max word count because i explained why the circumstances happened and how they affected me and then also how i've improved (and included 'evidence' for all of it if that makes any sense lol)
tbf though the way i write is kinda wordy but i condensed it a lot and it was still long
should i mention y i want to do my major at ut austin in the why major essay?
Briefly
Shouldn’t be the main focus because that’s not what the prompt is asking but it doesn’t hurt to briefly mention why u want to attend UT
i did a brief 2-3 sentences
explaining a bit of their programs
alr cool, thanks!
Also, I'm an intl student so my curriculum only has 2 years of social studies, but Austin lists 3 credits as a minimum. How bad would this hurt my appli?
um
if they arent willing ot grant an exception
its pretty much an auto reject
its a hard minimum if im not wrong
but then again its all speculation u should probaly email them urself
😢
does anyone know how to access your take the world by the horns questions + answers after you submit them? I'm a perfectionist and I have this very neat word doc of all my supplement questions + answers but for some reason it didn't save on my doc, and I can't figure out how to access them on the portal after I submitted ;-; do I just have to email them? I don't wanna do that lol, it's such a random thing to ask
hey
Does anyone know how the deadline for turing scholars works? My status says its due december 11th, but other sources seem to say decemeber first??(I already got my EA applicaytion in during october), Main reason I'm asking is that I was hoping to get teachers to look over it first...
should be due dec 11
Was it pushed back this year?- Also is there any advantage on getting it done early then?
does anyone know what is the difference between the 3 types of scholars for the natural sciences honors program?
Turing is just for CS and I believe dean is kind of everything?, Not sure about ecology tho.
do you mean polymathic for ecology
wait no
Dean’s Scholars
Health Science Scholars
Polymathic Scholars
its these 3
Poly is interdisplanary sciences, Dean's is everything in the college of nautral, I dunno as much about health tho.
Honors Programs in the College of Natural Sciences at The University Texas Austin include Dean's Scholars, Health Science & Polymathic
I know this is extremely late but I just realized that I never sent in my dual enrollment transcripts from the colleges I had DE courses from to UT. They're still all on my HS transcript, but it says on the UT website to submit college transcripts. I haven't been contacted by UT yet, and it says on my portal that my application is ready for EA, so should I sitll email admissions?
I forgot this school was due tonight. Guess I’m not applying 🫡
Does any international have trouble submitting their transcripts? I've submitted it 3 times already and it has been declined all 3 times. First time they said I needed to submit it with official igcse results in one pdf which I did. I even added igcse, school transcript, as and predicted a level grades.
I applied ea but it still hasn't gone through and that's the last material missing
Lmao almost happened to me I just reused
Essays
isnt your counsellor supposed to upload this?
There's like a request form right? I filled her info and she already uploaded or emailed them
But that's before my third attempt which got declined again
I've emailed the admissions office after 2nd attempt and they said I need to add the IGCSE results in one pdf which I did but then it's still declined
where are you applying from?
Myanmar
did u apply through commonapp?
Yes
has anyone gotten the 40 acres scholarship invite?
for the UT austin optional supp essay
if you didn't do it wouldn't hurt your admission chances or not?
i selected i was interested and was gonna apply for honors
but i didnt
does that matter
yes, some people have
no
is it rolling for all majors or does it depend on how early you submitted?
i don't think that's available information, but i'd guess that they just pick out candidates as they go through the applications
Dang almost all winners are texans lol
90% of people admitted to UT are texans
must be lucky to live in texas
i am, but a majority of that 90% goes to the auto-admitted people
makes it less competitive btwn the rest of the texans, but it's not significantly easier to get into ut unless you're in the top 6% of the graduating class lol
i was one person away from auto bc of PE 
oh damn thats really unlucky
must be nice 😭
esp considering my state
yeah i had an injury and that one A- screwed up my gpa lol
cali has 9 fucking ucs
but they dont do auto acceptance
😭
so weird
they prefer more oos students too
i'm pretty far off because i was dealing with depression and such things freshman year
but hopefully they'll look at my grade trend, sat, and essay and let me in anyway
real freshmen year was a all time low
mainly cause i never had good study habits cause of covid 💀
except for some reason i decided to try in math 😭
but not any of my other classes
for me it was my biology classes
i didn't do a single math homework all year lol
oh
me in earth and space
💀
it was geometry so it wasnt a big deal though
yeahh
here i am getting railed in ap physics c now!
and coming back from 8th grade being all online didn't help at all
lmao real
woo!
i'm taking the ut physics class because our ap physics teacher is apparently godawful
then jan-feb was a time blink
and then march
lowkey
i never had good study habits LMAO
me neither lol
cause my 6th grade class was elementary school so we didnt get any hw or anything no pressure
i still barely study unless it's physics. i will study for physics.
then 7-8th was aight
does anyone know if there's been any indication of waves for this year
idts
im too drained for physics
😭
i love the class
but like i study x difficulty
i'd bet there's a wave this week but it'll probably be pretty small
just going off of previous years
for a UT Austin?
yeah, they normally do the first wave last week of nov or really early december
most people tend to get their decision around that date but some get it early
oh
i bet itd be for the instate top 6 percent
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 this guy keeps track of all of it
too
no way they do oos
😭
im supposed to be studyin for physics right now
but here i am
go study bro
you gotta lock in
its over for me
i have a 80%
💀 💀 💀
cause we just got back from break
and our teacher was like "test tmrw"
you can get it back up
maybe
oh! so wonderful
only 2 weeks till sem end
i love when they do that
real
my ap csa teacher last year
was like
"we wont have any final. in this class"
we will just be doing 1 frq quiz a week from all 4 topics
then 2 weeks before the ap csa test dude gave us like 4 frqs 💀
not that it was hard
but like wheres the transparency at 😭
like im glad to get the practice but eughhhhh i hate doing them
my school didnt even let me take ap csa last year
i had to self study the exam 😭
granted i only self-studied for a day so i probably didnt even need the class
😭
Does anyone know if having access to your "advising information" on the RIS website means anything? It says I'm a freshman for my major and everything I js saw a post on reddit so I'm curious
are you an onramps student?
apparently it shows up if you've taken onramps in the past
i am only taking onramps this year and i have the ris stuff
im not
Why? Pre reqs?
aww
happened to me too
do you think they'll consider the AP scores at all?
I didnt use rush shipping for sat how cooked am I
you'll be fine
there's a grace period until next week
I'm mentally scarred after what happened with toronto for me
(They said transcript processing takes 5-7 business days but its taken them like 13 which meant i missed the early deadline)
oh i submitted mine the day supplemental info was due regular, everyone on reddit told me my app would get rolled over, and i still met EA
Dayum
My counsellor said that thanks to document tracking we have evidence we sent before
So i shld be fine
Standard shipping will reach in time?
I heard 5-10 business days
I made payment on Saturday morning us time
u'll be fine (don't quote me but i wouldn't worry too much)
isn’t toronto due in like january
early round was due monday
yeah
im just scared my sat wont reach
if u sent over the weekend ur fine
Just sent mine today
Forgot to send it until i got the email for the portal
Hopefully it goes in by then
wait does ut require SRAR
No
Does UT not take commonapp transcripts?
Hmm it just said pending on their portal I'll give it a few days to update ig
I had to redo all of my courses lol in the portal
are decisions coming out soon?
January
but like waves
man if i get into UT somehow imma be partying bro
does it matter how late i submitted for that
ex. i submitted on EA deadline vs submitting in sumer or smth
or is it randomized ig
im oos
I heard some ppl at school say that the first wave of decisions came out today
Bc last yr it was the same day
they have not
Thx for the confirmation
no, it's random
what about other universities
UT my choice above everything except HPSM and berkeley eecs/cmu scs honestly
Same 🥲
university

utah
undertale
UT, gtech, ucb,ucla,ucsd
imma be partying hard
cause those are like reach schools and my dream schools 😭
😞
it's mostly oos that increased so instate applicants are kinda chilling
dont have the article up rn but it was like 12% increase instate and like. 40-50% oos
still sucks though
50%???????
yep
thank god im in state lol
oh my god 25% app increase is insane
do you know if it comes out in waves for rd too?
Ggz
Decently sure yes
wait so my friend told me that EA results can come out anytime on or before the 15th, most likely on a thursday
is that accurate
hey chat
i got a friend that just remembered they needed to send their sat to ut
they’re on the fence about rush ordering though since it’s 30 extra bucks and not guaranteed to make it by the 11th and wanted me to ask y’all if they should
so like
should they
bro
obviously they should
cuz if not its NOT getting there
idk if itll even get there in time WITH rush ngl
yeah i was telling them this
okay also
the portal mentions there’s a self report form
for act/sat
bro your friend sounds like one of my friends 😭
and they checked that out
i have a friend who asked our physics teacher for a rec letter for UT like 5 days before deadline, and emailed him a WRITTEN RESUME ON NOTEBOOK PAPER
and the worst part
the first thing on his resume was "I am very buff"
WHAT
NAHHHHHHH
HAHAHAHA SORRY SOLO I THINK
i think ive seen you talk about this friend before am i wrong 😭
anyways nah they’re p responsible they just forgot this one thing and were like “chat im cooked”
nah
this guy is completely different 💀
they could spend the 120 they just are like
damn
120 for what could be an incomplete app
THERE’S MULTIPLE?
okay but yeah wtf is this for???
that’s so entertaining tho goodbye
never seen this before
i did early so idk
it looks like they can just do this in case their official score doesnt send in time
yeah me neither but it’s??? on their portal???? ig i’ll tell them to do both
tyty just wanted to make sure
yeah i gotchu (although i didnt do much 😭 )
do it
i rushed mine
it took like only a day
so worth it
bet bet ty!
Same!!
do i have to combine all high school transcripts into 1 pdf?
and should i include predicted grades in this pdf?
kinda confused on what they mean by this, can anyone help
finished turing essay🥵
Ask your school to send a doc stating why they do not use rankings in ur school
For example mine had this doc explaining how rankings could make things more competitive and stressful for students
damn it they still havent recieved my SAT
idk if i shld panic or not
just contact them once
ut sitll hasnt updated my residency...
i already
turned in my affidavit
and questionnaire
like 2 weeks ago
how do you report middle school courses that received high school credit on UT Austin
I need this to meet foreign language requirement
do you know if CS meets this requirement?
bruh
my counselor doesn’t believe that she has to send a letter explaining our policy
bc we have class percentiles 💀
what should i tell her
I guess
first round of acceptances just came out!
do waves usually get sent out all at once or do they trickle in the same day?
did you get in? Also, IS or OOS?
in-state
oh okk, i'm OOS, havent got anything yet
Auto admit?
seeing nothing. Are these autoadmit?
non auto admit
any idea when the next wave is?
Could I please ask where you got that message about when waves come out?
do they email you when there is a decision in the portal?
guess they do?
yes they do!
did you get in? congrats!!
what major are you applying for, and when did you apply?
i haven't gotten accepted, friend did (Sorry should've clarified)
she was cs, non-auto, in-state, insane stats
all good! congrats to her then ^^
i'm assuming she applied ea?
yep!
nice!!! hopefully thats me soon
they sitll havent reclassified my residency to in-state man
i hate this stupid application process
is the decision date different for all majors? i applied for aerospace engineering but nothing changed yet.
decision date is whenever the fuck they feel like it
they give it out in waves, usually in-state applicants get it back first
and if oyu apply before oct 15th, you get a decision by jan 15th
oh ok thanks i was nervous about it
wallah imma have my hopes up everytime a wave comes out
on utadmissions subreddit it seems like this wave was for cs ppl
neuro and mccombs also got in
i meant that as a quesiton mb cause some dude in chat above said wave came out
here
check r/utadmissions
theres also been an engineering and cola admission
have there been any reported oos acceptances yet
i don't believe so
oos is probably going to be extremely competitive this year
think first wave of cs has come out for in state at least
everyone ik was instate but tbh idk how the "waves" thing at uta works, i thought cs acceptances were always at the end tbh so it jumpscared me
seems like everyones in state so far
got in cs waiting on turing
didnt check just got a cryptic email telling me to check mystatus portal
The more cryptic the email, the better the result 😂
Dang I hope I get in
when did u submit your app?
like 2 days before it was due
oct 15? sick
i decided not to write them
today
bc im so drained
cant talk about myself anymore for at least the next few weeks
let me get in first
someone said an upperclassman reported 12/15 as the next wave
i think you can do both!
so true
ut is genuinely the only school im actually interested in going to
if i dont get in im just gonna go to acc for a year then transfer
is that only for instate students?
i dont mind doing that cc
but imma lowk feel like all my efforts i put these last 4 years would just be gone to waste 😭
i've already maxed out classes at collin cc
also its like nearly impossible to transfer into cs
i live in austin, it doesn't matter what cc you go to
thank god i'm a bio major 😭 i know i'd have no chance if i tried for cs
so just an email?
cz my SAT still hasnt reached ffs
did i do something wrong?
i have the receipt from collegeboard
even i thought of just sending emails or queries to them for the sat scores
actually i realised portal only updates after processing
but at the end i got fed up and spam called for like 2 days
could it be that it hasnt processed yet?
then i got a chance and they just updated
cz i havent recieved any email from cb that it reached UT
more often what happens is that
ur name might be slightly diff than what the universities have in their database
like collegeboard doesnt use ur middle name but uni does
so it just doesnt get automatically placed into the portal instead just sits there with ur common app id
so if u call them, theyll just take this scores and send it to the portal
actually that might be why
but did you recieve an email from collegeboard once the scores reached UT?
also i used different emails for collegeboard (personal) and common app (school)
yes
its fine, they must have asked abt it in the common app
oh no
i havent recieved anything from cb
this was the last email i got from their end
I have sent scores to multiple schools which have been received, and never once received a mail from CB
ok
so i should just contact UT to see if they have my score under a different name then
this mail is enough
imagine u get in but u lost turing cuz u thought u might not make it in the first place
just write it and hope for the best
its hard ig
@tawny meadow r u sure they wont reply to email because I dont want to pay for international call 😂
u pay for international call?
ok in that case email i guess
yeah its not free
i mean see they wont reply right away
but it can be as late as two weeks
the results come on jan 15th so just email them
just attach the ss of the transcript cb sent and also ss of the portal
also mention ur common app id in the email as well
tonight
oh 💀
what were u doing until now
its been like almost 2 months
💀
I submitted like 2 weeks ago
and sent the SAT on 27th nov
ig might as well call then
yeah
you can do this self report thingy if it doesn't arrive by dec 11
the deadline for the score to be recieved from collegeboard themselves is dec 31
Where is that on the portal?
official website
not sure what it shows on the portal
i guess so
ok yeah they say in the form to download as a pdf from cb website
ok nice i just submitted
and got a confirmation email from UT
Sure, you can do that
Bro, UT Austin will put you on hold for a long time, it will be very expensive.
Yep
@tawny meadow yo how did you submit your transcript
yeah
long ago
I asked how bro 💀
counselor or did you do it
@tawny meadow did you do it yourself or did your counselor submit it for you bro...
i did it myself
i didnt have any "counsellor"
ok what about the no rank statement
i dont have that much facilities
i mean like a school faculty member
does your school do rank
i made my school write a letter saying they dont provide
any ranks
okay
do you know what the school profile is
i forgot to get the rank letter bro im cooked
school profile?
did u apply ea or rd
no but like whats school profile
yeah
i dont know bro im so cooked
i mean just say
due to some difficulties and with faculties being busy
i couldnt get the rank letter in the deadline
and then submit the next day or smthin
just beg em bro
beg ut austin right?
not the school
they wont do anything now
ut austin
it's too late
yea ig thats the move
i mean
they wont be able to do shit with rank letter
if u submit today or tmrw
unless ur the first one they gonna review
@tawny meadow is the deadline local time or texas time
if it's texas time i can get to school early and then submit from there
it should be in local time
EVEN ON MYSTATUS?
send proof
uh
idk
i have read it somewhere
yeah nvm thats for
applications
but prolly the same for materials as well
HOW will they know my local time
dont stess on
submitting materials
stress*
just call them
explain the situation
and ask what to do
okay
why does it still say "Awaiting" for the Academic Coursework Entry Form even though i submitted it
even shows it as submitted when i click on it
@tawny meadow UT AUSTIN WONT FREAKING PICK UP 😭
try calling
agian
and again
dont sleep
YEA I DID

bro it's just ut austin 😭
the other dude is saying
how long

@tawny meadow Are you seeing Foreign High School instead of your school name on the ut austin transcript or is that just me
wtf is this
