any guide for the resume
i have one ready i made a while back, just wanna know what to refine in it for ut apps
Alright I'll
Expand a lot
It's already 5 pages tho ππ
bro wtf my cohnselor told me to do one page max
do i have to put
the ut eid
in my resume
i almost submitted
without it
but im too lazy to edit it again
its like 4 am here
ah okay
let me pull up flowcv again
wait
fuck
why does it still say awaiting
oh alright cool
see u all on feb 15th now bye bye
i thought resume was optional i didnt submit anything?!
if you're applying for stem or business it's recommended
- honours
otherwise it's ok
oh okk
i applied cs 
oh yeah you definitely should if you got time
grinding turing essay
i know π it's prooobably fine idk
hi i have question
s
can i send an updated resume different than the one i used to have for my honors app
nvm
Yo
how do I go about reporting a summer course
since the only options are semester trimester et
does ut austin honors program see ap scores from commonap
Even in-state is a miracle π
ut let me in πππ
I applied for EA
with honors
i didn't submit the resume
2 days back I withdrew my honors application
Will UT still consider my application for Early?
ur application itself should be early
we're cooked

WE ARE COOKED.

its fine its mostly oos students
you guys are cooked
ITS OVER FOR YOU
are you applying cs

NONONONOOO I WANNA GO TO UT :(((
it begins
what is this
im making a spreadsheet of all the reported ut decisions so i can track the average sat scores and other such things
also to keep me sane while i wait for my decision
at ur school?
or just in general
yeah
well gl bro
i was lucky enough to get first wave
oh damn congrats!
it doesn't, there was someone who applied oct 15th who got in
the waves are usually random
oh welp good sign ig
at least in the past
cooked
FUCK

anybody applying for ME?
i'm cs also cooked
I thought early action decisions came out Jan 15th?
UT still hasnt fucking gotten back with my residency
first wave came out recently for some random in state
so they lied
probably majority of decisions will come out jan 15 tho
everything will be out by then
Pray for OOS chat
Ah, I'm an int'l applicant
they didn't lie. UT does this every year, and on the website they say 'some decisions will be delivered earlier than others'.
on their portal will a button or something be available to show result
Probably not
Who is putting out a wave on Sunday π
they send an email to check ur portal
Cryptic email*
its ut AOs who tf knows what they do
Mysterious ahh AOs
in the past they have been included in waves
when does ut austin release?
omg its u
man
i saw a email from "UT"
it was like congratiaonliys on ur acceptance
but then i realized it said ut dallas
that happened to me too lmfao
why the hell are you applying to UT Dallas OOS π
saftey
dawg
im doing mech e
worth a shot
also cause job openings in texas
from space x
they have internships bruh
π
its the only saftey id consider going anyways
ur gonna have to dig urself outta a hole of debt tho
money isnt a problem ig
a&m for mech e?
beter tna ut
d
its a target school for me
ah alr
im aero major
i havent heard back on a&m
and my dumbass made a error on the activities lsit
it was my firsy app i submitted
back in october
i think all engineering has been moved back to regular decision all ea decisions are done
good luck!
tyty
i was going to apply asu
but like lowkey
its not that greato f a school
only ranked good cause of honors college
nah yea not worth it
other than that too much party and all
like id personally go to cc and transfer in a year to a good uc
like ucb,ucla.ucsd etc
ehhhh
worst
case
but im hopinh penn comes in clutch
and then i dont really have anything to worry about
π you got this
thanks thanks
should be all good
utd is full ride for national merit
true
im nms and id take tamu over tho
u mean for OOS right
wait waht
engineering is rd now
breh
no it's for TAMU
if you didn't get TAMU engineering back yet, it's been pushed to RD
if you did already get it, then you're good
UT still hasnt released most decisions
Itβs almost impossible to transfer into ut cockrell
When next wave 
no way to know
weeeee
guys can you chill on pings im talking about TAMU 
is oos cs hard bruh
gg
bruh tell pls
i wanna get in like what do i need
ok
tahts for every school
Even in-state CS is hard π
o fuc
There are hyperqualified CS kids who are in-state and DON'T get in.
I wouldn't know.
It's not yield protection though.
But OOS is definitely way harder.
I'd say it's easier to get into Harvard CS than UTCS.
it's cooked
as in like
similar state uni with an extremely strong CS program like ut austin
wtf
im so glad i ended up not liking cs
all i hear is horror stories from yall π
compE not far off tho i might be cooked π
are u oos
is ece oos the same difficulty as oos cs to get in
theyre both cockrell so im assuming it's probably the same but idk if they admit by major or by college
Call it UW
Major
cs is not cockrell, it's cns
ece is slightly easier to get into than cs according to texadmissions
they typically go by college, but cs is so competitive that ut judges cs applicants by major instead
i've spoken to ut admissions officers who told me it was by college except for cs
wtf they still havent fucking updated my residency
ive submitted the affidavit, questionnaire, email, called etc
its been 2 weeks
i legit dk what to do bruh
Oh what alright
I feel like I've been seeing you everywhere here lol
Like every single thread I'm on, you're in too
LOL yes if you apply to 20 unis with a 5% acceptance rate then you'll 100% get into one
Well, possibly.
Most likely.
There is a very remote possibility you could get none.
Pffttt no it always means 100%. Like if you apply 30 colleges with a 5% rate you have a 150% chance of getting accepted to a college which means the college will give you a 50% tuition scholarship!
yep!
thats correct
so if I apply to 20+ schools with 20-50% rates
do i get like a 100000000000000% scholarship
yep! They'll pay you to go! It's a great way to start earning a 6-7 figure income before you even graduate!
me when delusional:
Have any of yall got your acceptances yet? I just saw a tiktok of someone getting their acceptance last week for Mccombs
no
there was a tiny wave last week
assuming all appllicants have the same 5% chance (pure lottery), you have a 35.8% chance of being rejected from all 20
thats wild
Anyone know how important essays are in ut for cs?
would you guys rank it above academics like stats/test scores/ecs
Check cds
what is cds
Common data set! it has what they view as important for an applicant, take it with a grain of salt tho
thanks
Itβs fine
canβt do anything now
ut being that holistic for cs is crazy tho
Ik someone who got rejected from utcs and had to choose between ut Dallas and⦠Princeton
Yes bro
its holistic for everything??
Does anyone have any idea of when the next wave of results will be out?
just assume its jan
no point in tryna predict it
ur gonna get ur decision
Fair
this gna be me (manifesting)
tamu vs princeton
Yep!
I hope that's me lol
Except with Yale and some other school
hi guys what majors are y'all applying for
electrical eng
bio
biooo
ece
Ece
yeah
CS π
From what I've read cs is harder to get into but ece is the overall harder major
But it's all subjective
ece is for all the bums that couldn't make it in cs /s
Or knew they wouldnt make it in like me π
And I don't like coding as much as hardware stuff
imma break it to you tho
cs ain't about coding
It ain't about hardware either
ok but ilke
genuinely
it's interesting
but the stigma of being a code monkey
is like a curse
No one said anything about code monkeys π
I'm saying I don't like all that digital stuff as much as physical components and stuff
Still cool tho
idk I feel like
that's the biggest
draw of cs
not rlly
many people go into CS bc they want to design
apps
games
and such
Yeah
and it's not that
it's not bad
you'll have to put in work but it's definitely doable
you'll still have to do quite a bit of coding in ece
π
Yah but I rly fw hardware , have you done that stuff
theoretical analysis is much more fun
what's physics
it's not stopping me from asspulling this
yeah fs
one of the 2 required classes that you take in ece freshman year is purely hardware
and after that it really depends on the classes you take
Did y'all receive like a Christmas card from UT in the physical mail recently?
I got it emailed
But I haven't checked my physical mail in hella time
Lol okay
LOL
They want u
π Praying for an acceptance
the christmas card doesn't mean anything btw
everyone who applied gets it im pretty sure
hay anyone gotten turing back yet
does honors come out before admission
my friend last year got his admission early december and got turing around this time
oh
i guess expect it mid january
when EA comes out
if you applied EA
I wouldn't expect decisions to come out earlier than January 15th.
it has been for a few ppl, even though im assuming majority will come out on the 15th
still gonna check portal everyday
You'll get an email once they release your decision.
has anyone goten in yet
not since december 10
no decision yet
I'd just expect them to come on January 15th.
They reasonably won't come any earlier.
historically they have come before the decision date
it may be different this year bc they changed stuff but there is no way to know for sure
esp because they did a wave on december 10th
They might come earlier just cuz of the record breaking number of freshman applicants
all i want for christmas is an admissions decision from ut austin
bro they are on break
π
Yeah but I'm pretty sure they have all the decisions already
So they can just release it early if they choose to
theres prob a reason
is it harder to get into ut austin cs oos or harvard
harvard fs
π
UT Austin
If auto-admit hyperqualified students aren't getting in, OOS are not getting in.
Austin ngl
OOS acceptance rate for CS is probably 1%
me when ut austin is harder then fucking harvard
wait till you hear abt UW OOS CS π
ut might even be more competitive than uw oos cs this year
considering the spike in oos applicants
Can you even get rejected from Econ if youβre auto
UT prob more competitive than uw oos this year lol
Also does anyone know the true median/avg sat at UT CS??
People are saying itβs 1500+ with like 790-800M or something but there is no way thatβs true
I'd believe it
I don't
790-800M isnt even the median at ivys
Only MIT and CMU CS
i do think its more like mid 1400s for UT CS's average
its cs
for oos sure
1500 would be average
but then many of those autoadmits might not even have sat score
so we never know
Being auto-admit doesn't guarantee you a major.
for oos i def see it
Econ in cola though?
It was a 3rd choice option
You're not even guaranteed your third choice major.
Liberal arts is likely though, at the very least.
Wow that is a first
Like if you said McCombs, CS, and engineering, of course you'll get cooked.
ok but like i feel like people should be fine for econ
esp people who are on this server
Yeah its on the rarer side
you never know tho
good luck everyone
We have like 17 more days
damn that's crazy
16
i didn't even know high schoolers could do research ngl
Today is December 30th.
Most people don't.
wait did they specifically announce the date this year
if you dont count the 15th sure
Jan 15 is guaranteed
so dont expect anything until that date
yeah ik
Yes, they did: https://admissions.utexas.edu/apply/freshman/
a lot of people ik have done internships tho
I'm also waiting on Indiana.
The only ship I did was friendship.
which is honestly still a little crazy to me
I honestly didnt know either until my junior year
My city has an internship program which you can participate in once you're 16. It is at least somewhat selective.
But the majority of students definitely do not do it
IU?
Don't worry about internships in HS.
yeah maybe it's just me only interacting with tryhards
Correct.
good luck
nice
Nice bro
SMU is still more expensive than UT Austin would be.
My cheapest option is UTD though, which is free.
National Merit for UTD
For SMU it's $25K Distinguished and $5K National Merit
218 π¦
wow 1510
All the luck appeared that day.
isnt that like perfect
228
also if your family makes less than $100k you get free tuition at ut
228 is perfect
damn
What is your sat?
starting next fall
I'm probably paying full.
1510 max, 1540 super
nicee
My SAT preparation wasn't too diligent, but I can't do much now.
@graceful moon what major are you applying for
i wish ut gave money for national merit
cs?
cs
oh good luck
Ohh what major
Major?
how hard is it to get in?
probably the tier below cs
Doesn't the church of Scientology hold kids hostage for a few hours?
vicariously reliving this hell π€©
Like they invite you for a movie and keep you π
yeah they're interesting
@icy raft Did you submit the sat btw?
so still hella competitive
I want a dorm with a private bathroom!
What was your score?
I will not go to UT Austin if I have to do communal or some shit π
1550
Yep probably the most competitive in cockrell
Nice bro
ah
i'd say biomed is also hella competitive
yeah that and bme
idk that many biomeds
I know someone who got into Yale CS and Cornell CS, but committed to UT.
ECE is becoming increasingly popular
yeah that's bme
I know people who got into UIUC Biomed and went to Austin instead.
In-state obviously
it might be hard
I know someone who got rejected from UT CS, and his choices ended up being UTD full ride and... princeton
How come?
you should go for duren then
UTD is throwing a ton of money at qualified students.
duren has guaranteed private bathrooms for everyone
WWWW
I'm okay with connecting if it's a private dorm room.
Am i cooked if I havent deposited housing yet
if you dont choose a dorm that has private bathrooms for everyone then it will be super hard to get one
But don't housing apps open in like June?
they get filled very quickly
yeah you can choose your room in june
but it's based on when you submit your application afaik
@icy raft Do yk anyone that got into ece as a 2nd choice?
I submitted my deposit in October or November.
Im not sure if that happens, or is even possible
Leaning Oct
no sorry
Ah okay
is submitting desposit rn too late?
I was told they wont consider you for 2nd choice
No.
if its a diff school like engineering
Pretty early still
alr cool
$50 housing
they might not
i procrastinated on this for like 3 months
Yeah my 2nd choice ended up being SDS
if you reallt want to do ece i would put it as first choice definitely
Most people dont pay until spring
I just hope I don't go into my dorm and have to smell weed or hear people doing redacted.
thank god lol
I wanted cs since I had like no hardware experience π¦
well...
Well?
i didn't either lol
@hazy oriole it turns out i was too lazy and didnt do smu prompts
O
π€
you might be disappointed
I had sm software
SMU is due on January 1st.
so It made sense to apply cs
yeah
Damn.
and the other part
its ok if i get in i get in
@icy raft Btw do yk how SDS is?
Will I get high by smelling weed?
not sure
nahh you'll be fine
Will I get a headache from smelling weed?
maybe
OH HELL NAH.
I'm assuming its possible to get SWE roles through sds
I hope I get into UPenn or NYU π
im kidding its not that bad
Or go to grad school for machine learning
people do smoke in dorms sometimes but rarely
Thoughts on majoring in business (finance) and double minoring in accounting and data science?
Penn = Easily confused with Penn State
and students smoke everywhere regardless of school so it's not that big of a deal
The only smoking I want to do is be smoking hot π
Thats the whole point lol
yeah people do that
Oh do you know anyone in sds btw?
If I go elsewhere, I'll just double major in finance and accounting and minor in data science.
you won't be able to pick a minor right away tho
Im curious on how the outcomes are for sds working with software engineering
That way I have 3 possible avenues.
so you still have time
i DO not feel good about UT CS
sorry i don't π
aw okay
i don't really talk to cns people that much
Have you seen a pregnant person at UT Austin?
does anyone know the appeal process 
no not in my experience
Appealing barely works
iβm thinking of appealing for mathematics
I saw one at my HS π
Wha?
ok that's crazy
A student, not even a teacher.
i knew a few people who got into stats and info thru appeal
Math shouldn't be competitive
Oh i assuming cs
yeah but idk if i should take direct admit CS at TAMU or UT math
you should definitely try but also don't bank on it working out
What career goal are you aiming
if i go UT math iβm prolly going to do CS grad anyways
TAMU has good student life (although inferior to UT obviously).
if you want to do cs then take tamu imo
theoretical cs research more math focused
maybe physics and linguistics
idk
ah you're going for phd?
you can always minor in math
yeah but UT math is way better than TAMU math
also austin over cstat
i can always do grad somewhere
also fuck UT still hasnβt updated my residency i wish nothing but pestilence upon these fools

I'm going to make myself a business card set to just give to people.
if you do end up choosing ut there is also an option to do a cs certificate
yeah
It'll have information for my phone number, Discord, and social media.
math with cs minor isnβt bad
It'll also have connection to a website.
cs certificate isn't a minor tho
tho iβm going to be kinda sad about not getting turing
On this website, I'll have FAQ about me, personally and generally.
but it's still something
That way I won't have to introduce myself in depth 100 times π
my cousin said companies look at certs like minors
but idk cs grad would wipe that
Currently cooked
Finance is where it's at.
so is ece π€©
You kinda need prestige to get your foot in the door even
Wharton calling your name
I applied there.
Waiting to hear back! 3 months.
you didnt ed?
good luck
My parents refused to let me do an ED.
thanks
yeah good luck to everyone
I should make a Spreadsheet matrixing all the colleges.
Distance, cost, quality of program, etc.
bruh
no one saw that
idk why im here
ill give up
tenor hates me
idk swe is looking less and less lucrative with more offshoring and AI replacement of code monkeys, i feel like the futures going to be in research stuff
do math majors get access to cs classes at UT
for most of them no
thats why you GO into ai
otherwise itβs going to be a tough choice 
What happens when artificial intelligence meets natural stupidity?
I dont know
chatgpt
I honestly wanna go to Yale cs
tbh the only CS classes in that interested in are compiler design and programming language theory
mainly bc i have experience in that
not that interested in basic DSA or such
hang on let me check
so yeah if i donβt get any other t20 program maybe ill just appeal into UT math over TAMU CS 
yeah i think compilers is restricted to cs majors
This salary level is arousing.
Okay but WTF is this salary range?
Nearly homeless to mansion buying
when will EA come in
w
jan 15
ut austin β€οΈ
I think maybe it just ranges on your education level?
like internship to phd???
or thats just a error and they put a extra 0 π
w
exactly
on God
Happy new Years Eve to you UT Austin!
Looking to many happy memories next year π
2 weeks
guys wtf π
i turned it in on time and all
it was processed on the 11th
it's been 3 weeks chat
This is what happens when you cut funding to departments π
(I actually don't know if any funding was cut from admissions staff specifically.)
and ut austin is off from like 3rd week of dec to 1st week of jan
so after office reopens next week
maybe
maybe
they get to it eventually
just gon take time
are u auto admit?
or instate?
cause ull be fine
neither...
Getting a selective major OOS at UT Austin is nearly impossible.
im out of state graduating from a foreign high school
not international though
good luck gng
im doing engineering oos
i did ea
And if the major is not selective at UT Austin, it's probably not worth attending OOS.
omg me too
so that 1 percent boost in chance β€οΈ
which e
areo
aerospace?? nice
im doing mechanical
average indian applicant π
jk theyre all cs now
LMAOO
im indian π
ayy me too
i have a us citizenship so i just count as oos and not intl tho
do you engineer stuff
dude its been a month since i turned in the tx residency affidavit
π
rip bro
biology in-state here but i'm not top 10%
1600 sat though and very very good personal essay so we'll see what happens
cs in-state (but my residency is fucked up on UT's end, we need to get that sorted out), not top 10%, essays rushed, im cooked
damn
sat?
thats good chat
yeah unfortunately
actually i applied to ling+CS (which i think i have a decent fit for)
but if i get capped i might just do an appeal for math
i think you could get in for mathematics
yeah
i know hella ppl who got in for stats/DS which is more comp
even informatics
i know a guy who transferred schools and his rank went from #113/500 -> #13/500, he ended up something crazy like #4 and then he got capped from CS
wl from MIT and USACO gold too
he goes to purdue now
well yeah
one was tennis the other robotics
nothing special tho
nice
idk if you've visited the eer yet but there is a huge lab called tiw
are you either in state or auto admit?
how is UT with lateral transfers from TAMU
that has all sorts of different tools that are free to use for any ut student
i got direct admit into tamu CS so its p much my back up
nice nice
i didnt apply to tamu bc i hate that school
its so ugly
but they offer good education
i just cant make myself spend the next 4 years on that campus bro
what π
me?
huh??
yuh
i was auto admit yeah
nice
what specifically
Top 6%
i sold auto admit so hard
ππ
sat mostly
my sat was 1550
niice
same </3
i would've been auto but i was in the midst of a depressive episode my first two years of hs
but now im making auto-admit level grades
woulda been auto but i lowkey sold calc bc and art honors in 9 and 10th respectively
and my old chool had different grade weighting
and my classes from FL didnt transfer as honors
did they already change it to 5% this year
na co30 and onwards
ima be 18 in like 6 months
january is going to be hell bruh
π΄
too many major life events on the horizon
montreal trip postponed ig
what majors did you guys apply for? for some reason i'm barely seeing any other bio applicants
business 1st major econ 2nd
Business 1
Stats/DS 2
If I don't get business, I am not going to UT Austin.
cs, ling
linguistics?
really? so many people at my school applying bio/similar pre med
im the only cs guy
yeah
otw i woulda done cs, math but i applied for the ling+CS program so i had to have ling as my second choice
most people i know are applying for eng, cs, or business
guess just depends on the place lol
pre med is def popular in this area
ut austin π₯
https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/studentfinancials/mytuitionbill/20259/ can anyone access this page?
the tution bills for fall 2025 haven't been posted yet
HELLO UT AUSTIN!
i can access previous years tho
I hope you had a good new year! Cause I'm so excited to spend the coming 4 new years together!! β€οΈ π«ΆπΏ
aha
it just changed from showing 'no semesters' to '(name) is not a student for fall 2025'
yeah it says the same for me
UT AUSTIN β€οΈ
bro fr said backup u might as well commit there
cheap and top tier
i mean i only applied to colleges that are βbetterβ than tamu for cs
but i like UT a lot more
anyone knows what time the decisions come for EA?
is there no way to submit my new sat scores?
we're all cooked
can you NOT say this
49 UNIS???
yes
so how did this work
20 common app
did you apply to UCS ?
if so then
8
28
ohjhhhhhhhhhhh
all my RDs are no cost
nice
indeed
that removes a lot of safties right
technically all the colleges i randomly got in my email were high targets/safeties
i jus thad time so i said why not
ohhh
ya
most of them didnt req
i think 4-5 of them did
and then most required my personal statement
now 50!!!
do you want my entire list
oh wait most of them were email waivers
so it wouldnt apply to everyone
bro what
