UT Austin (2024-2025)

[zenith thorn]

is still expensive

😭

[opaque briar]

uc merced is 79k which is funny oos

imagine going to uc merced oos

[zenith thorn]

who is going to merced for 79k 💔

[opaque briar]

fr

probably like 2% of ppl

[zenith thorn]

😭

[icy raft]

has anyone heard anything about university of austin

the greatest institution in the world

[wanton flower]

omfg my dad tried to make me apply there

[zenith thorn]

I should have applied there

maybe employers think it's ut

😭

[wanton flower]

it's just a bunch of right wing grifters its crazy

not to get political

& they're trying to steal ut austin's name as well

[zenith thorn]

I mean if it looks like UT on my resume I'll take it

😭 🙏

like cornell college vs cornell uni

I think I saw some reddit posts where employers actually confuse them

[icy raft]

bro 😭

[icy raft]

it does not

[zenith thorn]

would be funny though if an employer thought it was

im coping

just let me in ut

🙏

[icy raft]

🤞

hoping and praying

[wanton flower]

have faith

[icy raft]

school starts tomorrow for us

💀

[zenith thorn]

how are job prospects for ece majors at ut btw

do most ppl side towards the ee aspect or

[icy raft]

they're definitely there

[zenith thorn]

more swe

[icy raft]

there are a lot of companies who come to talk and recruit ut students specifically

[zenith thorn]

oh damn thats nice

[icy raft]

lots of opportunities in student orgs as well

[icy raft]

most people in my year are doing comp arch and embedded systems

previously a lot of people did swe but as you can see the market is not doing the best rn

[zenith thorn]

😭

yeah I'm interested in embedded

[icy raft]

there's a lot of variety and versatility in ece

[zenith thorn]

but im probably not gonna do pure hardware

I wanna keep it mostly cs

we'll see though

[icy raft]

you get to try a lot of thjngs

i think having some hardware knowledge is still good

especially if you want to do embedded

[zenith thorn]

yeah lol

I haven't done much hardware yet in high school but i've done a lot of cs so

if I do end up doing ece could be a good pathway into hardware

[icy raft]

no yeah that was me as well

you'll be fine

[zenith thorn]

yeah

UT and UW are the only schools I applied ece lmfao so

ig we'll see if I ever end up touching hardware

ig I could still do some hardware with cs

[icy raft]

yeah good luck bro

[zenith thorn]

🙏

[icy raft]

i think i applied ece for all schools

except for rice

[zenith thorn]

damn nice

bruh lowkey I should have done that

I was just too scared to commit to

having to do some hardware

[wanton flower]

i shouldve applied to rice tbh

oops

[icy raft]

but like that was because i was interested in doing hardware as well

[zenith thorn]

yeah thats valid

I havent decided what I want to do yet

quant is still on the board if I can get into a good reach school 😭 🙏

[icy raft]

like lowkey i hate doing any sort of web dev or data science stuff

[zenith thorn]

web dev is ass

[modern oriole]

Yea according to the scattergrams only 4 ppl in the history of my school have applied

[zenith thorn]

I still fw data sci and ai/ml though

im like torn between ai/ml or embedded

or if I get into an ivy then quant

[icy raft]

there is a data science track in ece

[zenith thorn]

but im not getting into an ivy so

[zenith thorn]

oh sheesh

thats nice

what are the other tracks

[icy raft]

https://www.ece.utexas.edu/academics/undergraduate/techcore

click on tech core packet

[zenith thorn]

oh nice theres a SWE track too

yeah tbh I like all three of the tracks

☠️

would be hard to pick between them

[icy raft]

you dont have to pick until your second year

[zenith thorn]

ah nice

is there one that most ppl do?

[icy raft]

by which point you will have taken classes in each track

[zenith thorn]

or are they all just equally distributed

[icy raft]

most people do integrated circuits or embedded systems

in my year at least

[zenith thorn]

nice

what companies usually hire at ut

do yall get a lot of faang hires for ece or is it like

other companies

[icy raft]

most companies that have offices in austin like to hire ut students

[royal crag]

space x fore sure

space x

[icy raft]

faang probably look for cs students more since they're more software based

[royal crag]

they hireing ppl for engineering 115k salary

[icy raft]

although apple likes to hire ece students too

[royal crag]

fresh out of a uni w bacehlor degree

[zenith thorn]

true

yeah if I were to do embedded id probably aim for faang over

some of the other companies

[icy raft]

amd, intel, tesla, etc

[zenith thorn]

nvidia

[icy raft]

there are a lot

[zenith thorn]

🙏

[icy raft]

nvidia too

[zenith thorn]

oh shi u guys get nvidia hires??

damn

[icy raft]

i mean they come here from time to time yeah

ik a few people who got nvidia internships

[zenith thorn]

thats dope

[icy raft]

companies know that ut ece is strong

[zenith thorn]

getting a return offer must be tough asf though

[zenith thorn]

yeah

[icy raft]

so they come here a lot

[zenith thorn]

thats good

yea ut def in my top 5 schools rn

but probably one of my hardest to get into oos

all we can do is pray

[icy raft]

yeah true

[modern oriole]

What's ur stats

[zenith thorn]

not good ☠️

[opaque briar]

"not good"

.

bro what

💀

0/10 rage bait

[zenith thorn]

nah but

[opaque briar]

WYM NAH BUT

[zenith thorn]

my sat

😭

[opaque briar]

did u hear urself

[zenith thorn]

oos

[opaque briar]

"4.8W/3.94UW"

[zenith thorn]

bay area

[opaque briar]

0/10 rage bait

i have a 1390 and im still applying

[modern oriole]

Well

[zenith thorn]

asian male in ece from the bay area

is a diff breed

[opaque briar]

and ur complaining abt a 4.8

💀

[zenith thorn]

😭

[modern oriole]

My gpa is worse but my sat is better

[zenith thorn]

mb bro my school enviornment is just horrendous

[icy raft]

i had a 4.7 w 😭

[opaque briar]

..

[modern oriole]

How tf yall getting these gpas

[icy raft]

bro

[opaque briar]

bro my gpa was 4.48 w

[icy raft]

ap classes 💀

[modern oriole]

My school just isn't like that

[opaque briar]

why r yall complaining

💀

[zenith thorn]

it's UT oos bro

[opaque briar]

im literally in cali also 😭

[modern oriole]

I did all the max ap's I could do

[zenith thorn]

this shit is harder than fucking MIT

😭

[opaque briar]

no

💀

its def not

[modern oriole]

Let's not go that far

[zenith thorn]

yeah actually prolly not mit

but like

[icy raft]

the weighting might have been different too

[zenith thorn]

it's hard

☠️

[opaque briar]

maybe umich

[modern oriole]

Yea

[opaque briar]

u can compare it to umich

[icy raft]

ap classes are weighed at 5.0 at my school

[zenith thorn]

nahh wtf umich is def way easier oos

[opaque briar]

no im saying its hard than umich

[modern oriole]

I fw the sat required no superstore

Superscore*

That just raised my chances so much

[zenith thorn]

yeah ik im saying umich is easier

[opaque briar]

harder*

[icy raft]

yeah imo sat is a pretty good standardized metric

[zenith thorn]

oh yeah

[modern oriole]

But they care about class rank more apparently

Which is dumb af

Class rank doesn't mean shit

[opaque briar]

yeah if ppl got like a 1600 ofc they would say its good 💀

or 1500+

[modern oriole]

Mine don't even do that

[opaque briar]

if u get like high 1300s and 1400s then they would be against it

[icy raft]

well the thing is

you can take the sat however many times you want

[opaque briar]

i got a 1390 ru saying id do worse 💀

[zenith thorn]

I fw the SAT but please just remove the English section 🙏

[opaque briar]

in college

sat is literally predicting how well u would do in college

[zenith thorn]

yeah honestly I know a lot of stupid people who did really hgood on the SAT and I know a lot of insanely smart ppl who choked

it odesnt really mean shit

[opaque briar]

for admissions it means a lot

[zenith thorn]

but for colleges they care so we can't complain

[icy raft]

not necessarily worse but i would say that every single one of my tests so far have been way harder than the sat

[opaque briar]

lowk i dont expect to be accepted over business ppl who have gotten 1500+

unless they had shitty ecs which is prob impossible

[icy raft]

so test taking skills definitely do matter

but it's not the only factor

[opaque briar]

if my sat score is alr low it already puts me at a bad spot

i cant really do much

[zenith thorn]

I think they should js put really heavy weightage on each subscore of the sat based on ur major

[opaque briar]

wait but i got like 730 math

😭

[zenith thorn]

well like

mostly for stem majors I guess

they should really only focus on ur sat math

and like just

make the threshold for sat english really low

just make sure ur literate

☠️

[opaque briar]

ykw i needa shut up if i get accepted i get accepted

im killing myself internally

💀

[zenith thorn]

yeah

we got this

[opaque briar]

no the people who i despise r those who are like "omg chance me"

like what is a random dude that says ur gonna get in gonna help

😭

[zenith thorn]

nah fr fuck r/chanceme 😭

[opaque briar]

is ur ego that shit that u needa ask others for advice

like if someone asks then its fine but wtf 😭

[zenith thorn]

it's just a bunch of high schoolers in need of their ego being fueled

[opaque briar]

FRRR BRUH

[zenith thorn]

and other high schoolers driding other high schoolers to fuel their egos

☠️

it's bad

[opaque briar]

holy glaze

[icy raft]

it's ok when you get to college hs stuff will stop mattering as much

[zenith thorn]

ngl I thought it would get worse

because like

if u go to a top school like ut it's just a bunch of other sweats around you

[icy raft]

yeah it stops mattering because it gets worse

[zenith thorn]

😭

[icy raft]

nah im joking

[zenith thorn]

I have a friend at gatech and he said the competition just gets even worse

☠️

idk if it's the same at other sweaty cs/eng schools

[icy raft]

it's different because you only really care about yourself and your own performance in college

no class rank or anything

[zenith thorn]

yeah thats true

[opaque briar]

fire

[zenith thorn]

plus gpa starts mattering a lot less

[icy raft]

you will just have to keep up your gpa

no gpa definitely does matter still

college gpa

[opaque briar]

isnt like a 3.7 UW GPA pretty tough

[zenith thorn]

does it??

I dont think it really matters that much for jobs

like ur not gonna be cooked with a 3.8

or 3.7

[opaque briar]

some jobs cut applicants based off of gpa

theres prob a threshold

[zenith thorn]

not really for swe I think ☠️

[opaque briar]

oh idk

[icy raft]

well yeah because that's a high gpa

[opaque briar]

3.8 is high

[zenith thorn]

3.5 even

[icy raft]

gpa still matters for jobs

but it's not like you need a 4.0

just keep a high gpa

[opaque briar]

yea

[zenith thorn]

depends on the job but i've been seeing a lot of swe jobs care less about gpa and more about just

courses

[icy raft]

because it tells employers that you did well in your classes and more or less know what you're doing

[zenith thorn]

yeah ig

[icy raft]

courses matter too yeah

[zenith thorn]

my uncle works in big tech and he hires ppl right out of college and like

he told me they dont even check gpa

😭

as long as ur passing

[icy raft]

i'd say it's easier to keep a good gpa in college tho

[zenith thorn]

hopefully

[icy raft]

bc you're not punished for taking certain classes

like in hs for weighted gpa

[zenith thorn]

I just wanna escape humanities courses and take actual fun courses

[icy raft]

ig it depends on the company

[zenith thorn]

yeah

well tbh I wanna go to grads school so ig my gpa still matters

[icy raft]

oh yeah definitely

i actually dont know how many people in my class still have 4.0s

[zenith thorn]

what are some of the worst courses for ece

do yall also take like operating systems

wait do yall take dsa too or nah

[icy raft]

depends on the track

[zenith thorn]

yeah true

[icy raft]

id say the intro classes, comp arch, os, solid state are the hardest

from what i know

[zenith thorn]

interesting

are none of the math classes hard

whats the highest level math class most ece's take

[icy raft]

honestly no

discrete or vector calc

depending on the track

[zenith thorn]

do yall take discrete after diff eqs?

[icy raft]

yes

[zenith thorn]

ah alr

does UT allow for credits from CC to be transferred easily

for math courses

[icy raft]

yes

[zenith thorn]

oh shit thats w

I might be able to just not take any math then during undergrad

☠️

Im tryna finish up diff eqs and discrete by the end of this year

im assuming it's way more light at cc

[icy raft]

you would also need linear algebra

[zenith thorn]

I did that already

[icy raft]

oh nice

[zenith thorn]

Im in discrete rn

[icy raft]

then you might be set

[cold hedge]

can i get into mccombs with a 3.95 W

[zenith thorn]

yeah lol but tbh it would be weird to go without math for all four years ☠️

can I sitl ltake math courses

like grad level

or do they not allow that

[icy raft]

yes

if you meet the prerequisites

you should look at the degree plan if you havent already

[opaque briar]

holy nerd

💀

[zenith thorn]

yo chilll I js like math 😭

[opaque briar]

this is nerd of the nerds

[zenith thorn]

aight

[zenith thorn]

nah

[opaque briar]

wym nah

💀

taking diff eq as a senior

LMFAOOO

[zenith thorn]

my school is cooked

u dont understand bro

taking diff eq is the norm 😭

I have friends taking real analysis

and complex analysis

[icy raft]

ok wtf

[zenith thorn]

yeah

but those are the same ppl taking calc BC freshman year so

[opaque briar]

💀 ...

im only in ab rn wtf 😭

[cold hedge]

what the sigma

[opaque briar]

what the SIGMA.

[hexed wadi]

please ut. accept me. please.

i love u.

u love me.

[modern oriole]

I'm gonna crash out if I get rejected or deferred again

[hexed wadi]

does ut defer a lot

[graceful moon]

yet i see vals get rejected from ut cs

[opaque briar]

bad essays? poor ecs?

different quotas?

[graceful moon]

From my experience, its mainly because of poor ecs or context of school

[opaque briar]

yikes

[graceful moon]

Like they only maxxed out their academics and dont have much experience

[opaque briar]

in 2018 we got 3/7 accepted

[graceful moon]

and then the school they go to is insanely competitve

[opaque briar]

oh yea same for me 😭

insanely competitive

[graceful moon]

and UT probably have a set quota of only admitting certain people from a school

[opaque briar]

wait do they do by major?

[graceful moon]

most likely

[opaque briar]

i lowk dont think many are doing business at our school

maybe me and a few others

[runic cipher]

wtf, lucky aah Texans. I mean tbf it is a state school but 😔

[runic cipher]

We had one guy accepted to cs or info systems last year

Dk which

Intl btw 💀

[opaque briar]

fire

[runic cipher]

Hoping Math intl isn’t competitive

Bro getting UT rn wud be so good for my mental

Istg

[opaque briar]

anything intl is competitive

isnt getting into a college just good for ur mental overall 😭

[runic cipher]

I mean I have pretty decent stats

[runic cipher]

no but like

This month is so hectic

[opaque briar]

a lot of ppl have decent stats but it just comes down to small things atp

[runic cipher]

And if I know at the end I’ll be going to a good uni

[opaque briar]

true

[runic cipher]

I’ll be fine

[icy raft]

i mean if you wanted a selective major (like cs, business, or eng) the odds of being able to internslly transfer are really low from cola

so it is basically a rejection

[runic cipher]

ah

But cola also has like

Econ

[icy raft]

even if you are auto admit

[runic cipher]

Can u double major?

[icy raft]

depends on the major i think

or rather college

[runic cipher]

Ah

[distant summit]

well if you're in-state you're 99% going to get capped

which is basically the same thing as auto-admit accept you have to do a year at like UT arlington or whatever

[opaque briar]

they forgot to add ut austin to #📆-decision-dates

😡

[wanton flower]

im gonna be so pissed if i get capped

like either reject me or accept me bro

no way i'm spending a year at utd

[distant summit]

utd isnt even eligible for cap

iirc its ut arlington, utep, ut permian basin, ut rgv, and utsa

ope, according to the website there's also UT Tyler and Stephen F Austin state

huh i didnt know SFA was part of the UT system

[opaque briar]

omg i got a feee waiver from there

[young delta]

Didn’t they get rid of cap

Or am I just tripping

I’m just tripping

[distant summit]

no

[kindred turret]

hey is ut austin definitely coming out on the 15th?

[wanton flower]

yes

[kindred turret]

kk

[wanton flower]

they havent said it wouldnt so idk why itd change

[tardy field]

Should be

Im prayinggggg~~~

[graceful moon]

wtf I’ve never heard of ut Permian basin

Unknowns ahh campus

[runic cipher]

I’ve never heard of any UT apart from Austin and Arlington

Oh and Dallas

[rough glen]

What is the exact time of releasing? they only said 15th

[unkempt compass]

UT PERMIAN BASIN???? 😭

WHAT KIND OF UNI NAME IS THAT ☠️

[wanton flower]

UT LET ME IN!!!

[void gust]

my hs sends a lot to purdue

[opaque briar]

if u had someone continously say "ima be rejected" for weeks in a row i can say its annoying

[tardy field]

I’m doing engi
Sooo..

no

[tardy field]

stop lookging at chats

[opaque briar]

i rather not keep thoughts to myself

🔥

[covert trout]

ok cute!

[opaque briar]

very cute

[gilded copper]

why does 2 days feel so long

[opaque briar]

good question

ask ur brain

[tardy field]

Fr

[opaque briar]

🔥

[gilded copper]

like time slows down near a decision

[opaque briar]

perception of time is pretty cool

[gilded copper]

how many of ur schools did u pay to app to?

[ornate wadi]

i'm trying to time my sleep so that i sleep the maximum amount of time between now and getting the decision

and so i'll have to conciously live less time

[opaque briar]

uh u can check bio i forgot

😭

not much imo

[ornate wadi]

does UT not send it out like purdue at one time

i think i heard 6-8pm EST somewhere on this chat

[gilded copper]

wait ur goated

25a and scholarships

[tardy field]

A ton of app fees tho

[gilded copper]

i heard 4-8 💀

[opaque briar]

nah, it wasnt in the context of the next 4 years of ur life

[opaque briar]

hoping for higher acceptances, but im very grateful

[ornate wadi]

which one is it bro cus if it's 4pm EST then i'll have to stay up if it's 6pm I will slee

i like how purdue does it

[gilded copper]

idk

ut has to be special

[ornate wadi]

ah yes they have to be different

[opaque briar]

they are different schools

hope that helps

😊

you could just check all of them at 8 PM ur time

👍

[ornate wadi]

in the sense that

they take the top 10% of every high school in texas

[gilded copper]

nah im refreshing for 4 hrs straight

[ornate wadi]

i agree

[opaque briar]

ok i dont understand why ur tryna calculate this rn

like they already made ur decision

😭

some ppl earlier

[gilded copper]

68% of admits is in state auto
22% is in state non auto
10% oos

[ornate wadi]

cooked

[gilded copper]

yes

[covert trout]

wait guys my friend said they were releasing at 12pm cst

but like

thats prob not it

[ornate wadi]

that's 1pm est

[gilded copper]

bro wallah thats lunch time

[covert trout]

bro i did that

[gilded copper]

bro i dreamt i got deferred for ut

[covert trout]

i thoguht i forgot to submit mmy ut app

[icy raft]

also i would think that all the decisions would just release at 4 pm cst

[gilded copper]

since i did shotgun im expecting most my schools to be reject

not very good for mental

[wanton flower]

ut is so comp i'm expecting a rejection fs

i'd love to get in but i'm not getting my hopes up

[gilded copper]

i thought id get into stanford but that was extreme hopium

[wanton flower]

In state non auto

[wanton flower]

🫡

i believe in you

[plucky plume]

i didnt know ece was competitive 😭

ok i knew engineering was competitive

butttt i didnt think abt the major

[wanton flower]

ece is like the most competitive eng major

[gilded copper]

Yeah I heard it's right behind cs in competition

[wanton flower]

it's barely less competitive than cs is

[plucky plume]

oh wow

do they accept by major?

[wanton flower]

for engineering i believe so

[plucky plume]

i put informatics as my second choice

[gilded copper]

Ggs

[wanton flower]

we'll see in 2 days chat

good luck

[gilded copper]

[royal crag]

yea

im not sure if they do for every school

but prolly buisness eng

fs

[wanton flower]

cns might too

because they say they care about how well fit you are for your major

[modern oriole]

PLEEEAAAAASEEEEE

[wanton flower]

PLEEEAASSEEEEEEE!!!!!!

[tardy field]

PLEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSEEEEEE!!!

[opaque briar]

🔥

[wanton flower]

same here except my rank

everything but my rank is ut-level

for bio at least

ah

good luck chat

why did you even apply cs

you could appeal for econ i think

tbf i think i also shouldve applied for cola

it wouldve been easier to get into env sci

and then transfer into bio

i shouldve taken more time

my parents and grandparnts pressured me to apply by august

not sure

this is the first year they have an actual ea round

last year it was priority but they released all the decisions on the same day

damn cg

no one knows

i think

inch reeging...

i didnt even apply there

maybe i should have

[wanton flower]

ut austin does not care about your gpa

they only care about your rank

[unkempt compass]

Is UT one of the colleges where RDs are cooked

[idle crescent]

guys i messed up my short answer responses on my application

the rest of the application including SAT, GPA, Freshman essay A were all quite good

what chances might i have in getting admitted

[ripe bronze]

what time do decisions come out tomm?

[modern oriole]

Bye what

[gilded copper]

Yeah I threw in hs

[queen night]

if youre oos youre cooked in both 😭 <10% acceptance oos is diabolical

[unkempt compass]

it is what it is

[zinc pumice]

intl cs rd requiring aid

im from india...

anything worse?

[pearl solstice]

does anyone know what time it releases est

[stoic sigil]

^^

[idle crescent]

im OOS and i messed up my short answers in application

i have quite decent SAT and gpa and class rank tho am i cooked or no

these are the short answers that were submitted 🗣️

[amber basin]

nah bros gotta pray that ut isnt reading

[idle crescent]

the worst part which makes me so sad is that im not the one who submitted those :c

[amber basin]

no way thats real

[idle crescent]

ye it is

i met a consultant

to help me apply to univs

and he told me he was gonna make an ApplyTexas account for me

and he did

the next day i find out that he submitted these short answers without even my consent 😦

[amber basin]

that sounds like a lawsuit

[idle crescent]

i have decently good stats so i was expecting to get into UT as not that unlikely

but after seeing these short answers its all washed down the drain

[amber basin]

why didnt you explain this to the ut office of admissions

[idle crescent]

i emailed them about it

they say that they cant do anything and that they cant even let me resubmit what is alreaday submitted

[amber basin]

[idle crescent]

how impactful are the short answers

out of all the other application stuff

like sat gpa essay transcripts resume etc

bro he was trusted and worked under IDP so i met him

and like im international so i didnt have much idea on how to apply so i thought meeting a consultant would be helpful

how

oh they do?

alr ill try

and @teal acorn how much do these short answers matter

out of the whole application

how impactful are they

[amber basin]

https://admissions.utexas.edu/apply/review-decision-process/appeals/

[idle crescent]

should i appeal after they send my decision?

[amber basin]

ye

[idle crescent]

what

wait also how can i check my cs department

ye if it is cns or smth else

yea

oh alr

[amber basin]

the type of scenario that makes you wish we had the Gaokao instead of holistic admissions

[wanton flower]

did anyone get emailed by housing

[idle crescent]

😭

😭

idk 😦

btw guys

[idle crescent]

i got into tamu with these type of short answers and short essays

ig they just saw my other stats and let me in

bro all my other stats are being so washed away with these short answers

[zinc pumice]

Did he submit all your short answers to every school?

[idle crescent]

i applied to 5 univs

2 of them needed short answers

and he did it for them 2

one is tamu, other is ut austin

😦

[zinc pumice]

Did you pay him?

[idle crescent]

no he works under idp so he did it for free

but i mean he mightve destroyed my future

[zinc pumice]

Why'd you give him access to your account

[idle crescent]

hes like well reputed in my city

so i went to him for guidance on how to apply and all

[zinc pumice]

yk theres this add advisor option in the common app

[idle crescent]

so like he made the TexasApply account for me

no he suggested that i use applytexas

[zinc pumice]

ohhh you did by TexasApply

[idle crescent]

cuz im only applying to texas univs

so he said that it would be quicker and better to use applytexas since im applyign to only texas univs

and then he said me to give my details and that hell make my account and let me know after that

when he msged me that he made the accounnt

and i went onto texasapply

he had already submitted all the applications with the basic requirements like short annswer and alll 😦

[zinc pumice]

cant you apply seperately and say the other account is fake

or sum like that

[idle crescent]

transcripts and sat score and other stuff i submitted later on netid portals

[idle crescent]

they univs will think im doing something dodgy

[zinc pumice]

you couldve just made a new account

[idle crescent]

he had already applied

and the univs had opened their portals for me with the netid and all

[zinc pumice]

since the transcripts and all werent tagged to you

[idle crescent]

yea but still its risky

[zinc pumice]

Not really

there can be many people with your name

[idle crescent]

yea u probably are right

but its too late now ig

[zinc pumice]

Imo you shouldve just made a new account

or like applied through common app

[idle crescent]

true

bro but its so sad

[zinc pumice]

i mean, try to contact the admissions office if you think itll help

[idle crescent]

i emailed ut austin admisisons office explaining this whole story

they replied that they cant do anything as what is submitted cannot be resubmitted

[zinc pumice]

maybe

upload a new doc

saying that you "accidentally" uploaded the previous one

[devout pelican]

Has anyone gotten their decision?

[zinc pumice]

and that your new one be used

[devout pelican]

I thought they send out in waves

[idle crescent]

idk if that will work or not

cuz like the deadline to submit is over

[zinc pumice]

better than not doing anything

are you instate?

[idle crescent]

out of state

im thinking to use their appeal application after the decision tomrw

[zinc pumice]

your chances are anyways slim

idt this'd hurt to do

i feel like they take oos appeal applications less seriously

[idle crescent]

oh

[zinc pumice]

thats just my thinking

[idle crescent]

ok i will try

[zinc pumice]

i dont know acctually

[idle crescent]

it doesnt show this for me anymore

[zinc pumice]

go to your ut austin applicant portal

below admissions

click document upload system

[ripe bronze]

what is the point of appeal applications? do u get to add extra ECs or marks you got after the decision?

[wanton flower]

yes and also demonstrates continued interest

i'm going to appeal bc my gpa went up after last semester and my gpa is the only thing holding my app back

[ripe bronze]

good for u!

[graceful moon]

did ut austin say when theyll release?

[young delta]

Confirmed 4 pm?

[graceful moon]

confirmed?

they dont release all together?

[young delta]

Prob not with the amount of applicants

[graceful moon]

i mean its ea tho

not like priority and reg last year

[young delta]

I think making it EA added applicants ngl

[queen night]

this one’s sanity has already crumbled.

[idle crescent]

idk bro ig ill just let it be

and pray for the best

im most probably going to choose UTD tho so it doesnt matter that much if i get rejected from austin

[zinc pumice]

do sum to the counsellortho

[idle crescent]

wait

should i email UT Austin rn

about it

[amber basin]

didn’t you already do that

[idle crescent]

i did but

i can email them again maybe

and tell them like

so and so happened as i emailed u a while back

and as decision comes tomrow i request you to please keep in mind about the short answrs and consider accordingly

smth like this

[queen night]

fs give that guy a terrible review tho 💀 attach the short answers and everything

[idle crescent]

can you think of any way

that i can prove

that i didnt submit it

uh

[queen night]

i mean idk how texas works but to me it seems strange that someone is writing the short answers for you

idk if thats allowed

[amber basin]

did you already explain that someone else submitted it under your name

[amber basin]

pale briar 🦛

[idle crescent]

yea

i did in like october

[amber basin]

idk then is there any receipt for the application submission that has a location or credit card that isn’t yours

[queen night]

yeah wait how could you submit it without paying? did the dude pay it for you?

[idle crescent]

no like

the app fee, transcripts sat etc i submitted later on the applicant portal

but before i got access to the applicant portal

he applied for the applicant portal and submitted rthe short answers too in the process

[amber basin]

why did you pay

just make a new account

[queen night]

thats so strange

[amber basin]

if you didn’t pay for it the application would probably be thrown out

[queen night]

idk i have no advice except to maybe upload a clarifying document in MyStatus with updated answers + explanation

[idle crescent]

i dont think they would look at it tho

so i just emailed them again about it

cuz theyll check emails more than the MyStatus portals (because theres just 1 day left for decisions to be rolled out)

[queen night]

yeah i mean if its one day left im not sure theres much you can do

decisions r prolly finalized or very close to it
