UT Austin (2024-2025)

[devout pelican]

Mine is not either

I am also international

[flint radish]

so are international decisions released on the 15th

?

[charred crater]

GIG EM

[devout pelican]

I think so

most internationals didn't get the mail yesterday I think

[flint radish]

ok

[queen night]

what am i even supposed to click on the poll guys

[flint radish]

yeah i didnt either

[charred crater]

I did

[devout pelican]

did you?

[devout pelican]

did you get decision?

[charred crater]

I got capped

[flint radish]

whats CAP again

[devout pelican]

ic so idk what tf is happening then

[charred crater]

1 yr at other ut

[echo orchid]

I got the decision

I did NOT make it

[muted loom]

I just clicked accepted

Also you're in harvard what are you even doing here 😭

[devout pelican]

anyone got their decision after 4pm time?

I am tryna see if they are doing waves by any chance

[cedar barn]

can someone reply to the poll

[muted loom]

here @cedar barn

[stoic lake]

Accepted to advanced transfer program for CS!! Honestly didn’t think it would happen cuz I don’t have prior cs experience but WOOO!!

[devout pelican]

by an chance are you international?

[frail thistle]

u spent like a semester abroad

[cedar barn]

my engineering one isn’t out

[frail thistle]

and then go back

[stoic lake]

Nope in state

[queen night]

well yeah ik that but which program? did i get my major? 😭

[hazy oriole]

Where is the poll!zb?

[devout pelican]

ic

[flint radish]

is it the UTSA option you could click in common app

or something else

[green tangle]

uhhh quick question

how do i apply for housing

[muted loom]

I emailed

[green tangle]

i went to the link in the portal, paid my fee and it just says it's complete?

[muted loom]

We're the second cohort ever for this program

[charred crater]

No clue but I'm going to tamu regardless so I'm not going to bother

[muted loom]

So it makes sense it's not that polished

[amber basin]

cap only guarantees a spot in college of liberal arts so its basically nuthin

[flint radish]

ah

for engineering the common app had a option to be considered for UTSA

[gilded copper]

me fr

capped

[sterile oasis]

what does capped mean

[charred crater]

GIG EM

[maiden aurora]

I forgot to apply to housing

Until now

See yall in the homeless camps

[green tangle]

ur so real but

im confused

i went and "applied" but it was just paying the fee

and it says i need to accept my offer and pay the enrollment fee -- does that mean i gotta fully commit?

i'm waiting on some decisions in march rn

[maiden aurora]

The date of paying the fee is what matters

[green tangle]

okay gyattcha

[jolly quest]

dangg you got in for ece??

oos?

[hybrid bear]

You are admitted to The University of Texas at Austin.

Welcome to the Class of 2029 and to the Computer Science, entry level major in the College of Natural Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin 😌

[green tangle]

OMG HI

FELLOW CS!

[hybrid bear]

i can't even believe i got in there

[gilded copper]

Man it hurts seeing classmates getting admitted to my major

[maiden aurora]

Nah not oos I’m in state auto

[gilded copper]

And ut in general

[jolly quest]

nice, i am too but i didnt get into ece 😔

[jolly quest]

no one i know has done it yet for me

[gilded copper]

One of my friends got ece 😢

[maiden aurora]

Tamu still excellently ranked for eng you’re chilling

[jolly quest]

oh yeah for sure

[gilded copper]

Imma send an email to ee dept and aos

Worth a shit

Shot

Lol

[maiden aurora]

Not gonna work but can’t hurt lol

[jolly hawk]

rejected

[gilded copper]

My dad said that some ppl got it

So it's not a 0% chance

[mortal valve]

does this just mean i got autoaccepted and didnt get into my first choice major (MechE). what do I do now? Is it over/

[jolly hawk]

yea i dont think u got in for mechE

[maiden aurora]

It’s over unfortunately

[jolly hawk]

too many applicants to the T30s bro

[amber basin]

auto-admit is a terrible system imo

lets down too many people

[mortal valve]

I didn't even get a you didn't get into your first choice just shoved me into that

[mortal valve]

I must have not been qualified enough what the hell does UT want

[gloomy tapir]

is this rd include in state

cuz 33% accept is high

[plain crow]

yo is meche hard to get int????

[storm sequoia]

YOOO FELLOW CS!!

[maiden aurora]

ye

[hazy oriole]

They sent the email so late 😂

[hazy oriole]

Yeah

Probably

[frail oracle]

yo guys anyone international who got in today?

[knotty ocean]

no one getting it this week

[placid quail]

@muted loom

Did you get in

[frail oracle]

oh wait what i thought descisions came?

[knotty ocean]

only is and oos

[frail oracle]

ohh alright thanks

[narrow cosmos]

Y'all, if it's any consolation

Out of state applications rose by 50% from this year compared to last year

[knotty ocean]

bro rd has nothing to do with it

you would’ve been cooked regardless

cs oos has a lower acceptance rate than mit

ea and rd are equally cooked, everyone got deferred so didn’t matter

[narrow cosmos]

So that already 10%ish acceptance rate is more like 6% overall

[narrow cosmos]

Do you think those numbers are similar for McCombs?

[knotty ocean]

idk the overall acceptance rate was 11% oos a few years ago mccombs is competitive so probably lower

[hazy oriole]

McCombs is less selective than CS.

[knotty ocean]

lower than 11%

cs is definitely the most competitive major

[hazy oriole]

I got into McCombs 🤘

[maiden aurora]

tuff 🔥

[olive dew]

whats the acceptance rate for electrical engineering

[storm sequoia]

ayeeeee

[narrow cosmos]

The out of state application count literally increased by 50% this year alone, too 😭

[maiden aurora]

Not very high

[faint rampart]

Someone from my school got in public policy with a 3.8 weighted lmfao

Kinda crazy

[hybrid bear]

i mean i got into comp sci with a 1400 🥴

[wintry sail]

in state?

[chilly rose]

Any one else doing x + cs

[wintry sail]

anyone else moved on from UT Austin!

[placid quail]

Does anyone know how competitive informatics is this year

[spare bluff]

its def sub 10

[hybrid bear]

yup

[narrow cosmos]

possibly even sub 5%

[spare bluff]

locked in tho

goofy ah emoji

[flint radish]

whats really strange is

i havent even recieved a decision

[faint rampart]

Someone from my school got public policy OOS with a 3.8 weighted

Dunno how they decided people this yr

[maiden aurora]

They did say some won’t come until 15th

Actually they said the rest would be by 15th so could come at any time 💀

[velvet grove]

I just realized they made a mistake on my application and accidently put me in foreign student when I am supposed to be Texas Resident. I got into the capped program, so should I appeal or contact the admission office to get this fixed or do y'll think I don't have chance either way?

[night frost]

Anyone else get cs

[amber basin]

definitely appeal intl vs. instate is a big difference

[rustic hound]

@distant summit How were the results?

[storm sequoia]

i did

[jolly quest]

BRO I OPEN THE PORTAL AND I SEE A BUNCH OF ORANGE COW SKULLS FLOATING AROUND AND IT SAYS CONGRATULATIONS AND I START CELEBRATING JUST FOR ME TO REALIZE I GOT INTO LIBERAL ARTS

[night frost]

ay good shit

Lowk surprised I made it

Turing odds for 40 semifinalist?

[storm sequoia]

same I had no hope

[storm sequoia]

congrats!

[opaque briar]

Why is everyone complaining abt getting into a diff major when theres ppl who got rejected bro

💀💀

[night frost]

Well tbf for autos not getting major is basically rejection

[distant summit]

got in

[eternal junco]

wait does anyone understand the diff btwn the waitlist thing and an appeal

[tardy field]

Didn’t get in
Ofc

[orchid yacht]

i didnt get any decision yet

[tardy field]

They gonna edge you until 15th

[orchid yacht]

whatd i do 🥲

[tardy field]

[modern oriole]

I saw on some reddit post that 15th feb decisions will mostly just be rejections

is this true?

also did the people who applied RD get it today as well?

[elder ice]

@placid quail hook em

[elder ice]

i did

[plain crow]

bruh how many ppl got capped

[pure nimbus]

UT must be brain dead this year cause they rejected several top applicants from our school

[plain crow]

fr

[pure nimbus]

Also not giving auto admits their major is some crazy work

Instate

[placid quail]

LETS GOO DID UOU GET IN

I scrolled up like 3 messages

CONGRATS

what major

[elder ice]

yep, for chem

[placid quail]

Ooh

Lowk fire

[elder ice]

idk if ill go but im considering for sure

maybe ill see you there

[placid quail]

Same, because I got in for informatics

[maiden aurora]

Because if you want to be an engineer liberal arts is as good as a rejection

[placid quail]

so idk

I may head to Unc or Uiuc for cs

[buoyant ermine]

utcs baby

my sat was mid but still got it

[stiff lake]

w

[distant summit]

@elfin trench

did u get

[elfin trench]

yes

did u?

[wanton flower]

AAAHHH I GOT IN I GOT IN

[queen night]

for whoever got the take the world by the horns thing the page is actually updated now!!

[wanton flower]

commited !! :D

i'm so excited

[tribal fractal]

I GOT IN!!!!

Does anyone know if ut austin is good for econ? That was my second choice major though.

[tawny meadow]

My decision is still deferred bruh

[wanton flower]

did you not get in for your first-choice?

i will say that transferring btwn colleges in ut (especially cockrell, mccombs, and computer science) can be difficult, so if you plan on externally transferring you may want to look elsewhere

but if you're content with economics and you're in-state, ut is a great choice!

[tribal fractal]

I can either do Finance at my state school Gies UIUC, or out of state UT econ.

Mccombs is like a target for investment banking while Gies is not.

I'm thinking of trying to network through clubs that Mccombs students do?

[wanton flower]

is money an issue for you? ut is 60-70k dollars a year oos, and from what i see uiuc is around 30-40k.

[amber basin]

actual horror

[muted loom]

Yes

[tribal fractal]

are they generous with financial aid, ut?

[wanton flower]

hmm i'm not sure honestly

from what i know, oos students don't get a lot of scholarship money (but i'm not oos so i could be totally wrong)

[tribal fractal]

got it, so I might have to review my other options...

[wanton flower]

you may want to do more research tbh, i don't know a lot about oos stuff

[muted loom]

took them long enough lol

[wanton flower]

the school is awesome and the campus is lovely (i live close, so i've been there a lot) but you have to consider if the benefits versus uiuc are worth the extra money

ultimately college is what you make of it, and if you try you should be able to find business and networking opportunities at uiuc!

[muted loom]

why didn't I get the cow skulls 😭

[muted loom]

I'm definitely not going to ut austin

I'm choosing gt

[wanton flower]

they didn't load for me the first time either

[wanton cradle]

Any internationals got their decision today?

[muted loom]

I reloaded again and I still didn't get it 😭

Might be because I did take world by horns

[wanton flower]

yeah that might be it

[muted loom]

c'mon give us the confetti too we still got acccepted 😭

[wanton flower]

it still hasnt really hit me yet tbh

i've wanted to go to ut since i was in kindergarten

[storm sequoia]

same

like wow

[wanton flower]

and i was so convinced i wasn't gonna get in i'm in shock

[storm sequoia]

real

I thought I had no shot at cs

[wanton flower]

esp because im top 16%

well im 14% now but i was 16% when i applied

[wanton flower]

omg congrats!!! ut cs is like impossible

[storm sequoia]

congrats as well

[wanton flower]

thanks :)

[wanton cradle]

Oh okay so all intls will get it on 15th?

[placid quail]

😭

what is this round the world program

[muted loom]

You go to a different country for a semester

Then come back

So I got into the Korea program

Society and Technology

Then I go back to study informatics

I'm still trying to figure out whether or not its for borderline applicants

It probably is tbh x_x

But either way I don't regret spending an extra hour of those supps if it means I got in lol

[muted loom]

I emailed them so we'll see 🤷‍♀️

But either way I'm choosing gt over ut austin so it doesn't really matter

[placid quail]

did a lot of people get it

[muted loom]

Gt has a similar program that I can apply to now that I've gotten accepted but if you do that thing you can't do honors and I'm obviously choosing honors over that

[placid quail]

so far i only know 3 people from my school who got into ut austin

probably the only 3 there is

[muted loom]

This is the second year ut austin has ever offered it

So idk

[placid quail]

historically theres only been 1-3 ppl accepted every year from my school

[muted loom]

It's pretty new

[placid quail]

ut austin for my school

[placid quail]

i see

[muted loom]

that's the one for my school

[placid quail]

looks about right for oos

[muted loom]

Yeah

Okay the real question is

Who is that kid with the 88 GPA and 1400 who got in lol

[placid quail]

i come from the bay so its more competitive here overall mb

[muted loom]

No it's an 88 with a 1370/31 as an RD applicant x_x

Two people with that score got in from my school

That's kinda insane lol

Well one did EA the other did RD

[bleak dove]

Ok genuine question can someone tell me how competitive ChemE is as well as Aerospace? I got capped from Aerospace which is was expecting because of my 1300 SAT score. I was fine with being capped but my friend got in to ChemE with lower SAT, lower GPA and Rank. Is aerospace significantly more competitive? I didn’t think I was gonna get in UT anyway but I’m just baffled ab my friend getting in to ENGINEERING with the stats she had yet I did not for Aerospace

I’m just like what

and kinda jealous because they also admitted to using chatGPT for their whole essay

[muted loom]

engineering in general is competitive 🤷‍♀️

[wanton flower]

they're both competitive. ut admissions can be pretty random, but engineering likes it if you have related ECs and stuff

[wanton flower]

dude

[bleak dove]

No cause I’d literally be like okay whatever and I’m still happy for her but I’m like are you serious because it’s like she just AI’d in to my dream school when I actually tried to put in the work

[wanton flower]

that's awful wtf

to be honest i am the kinda person who'd report her for that

purely because i don't think it's fair to use generative ai on something like college admissions

[muted loom]

Chatgpt isn't able to convey your life story well

[wanton flower]

that has to be breaking some sort of rule

[muted loom]

And she might have gotten in despite her essay, not because of it

[wanton flower]

i'd agree, but ut engineering is so competitive that i'd think a fake essay and a sub-1300 sat score would be a pretty quick disqualifier

[bleak dove]

I joined the waitlist but I’m probably not gonna wait around much. Texas State gave me big scholarships and I’m hoping to get in to their Honors. I’m lowkey just mad rn but I also don’t think it’s fair to the people who got capped with like 1500s you know 😭😭

[wanton flower]

no it's definitely not fair

[bleak dove]

like I didn’t think I was getting in. But like someone with worse looking academic stats at least for UT engineering I’m like are u kidding me 😞😞😞✊

I’ll be over it by tomorrow

[placid quail]

engineering in general is competitive, but what ive noticed with austin is that they are rather whollistic

the ECs just aligned like the stars

(also depends on major too)

but i know that texas is especially brutal for OOS

everyone i know of from my school has like around a 1550 sat who got in

and they only accept like 1-3 per year

30-40 people apply from my school every year

[bleak dove]

Yeah we were both instate non auto. I guess the only thing I can think of that she had that would have helped with ChemE is she took AP Chem but I think got a 3 😭

Like she doesn’t do stem ECs so I honestly was just confused but who knows what they saw

[placid quail]

oh ap chem lol

one of the classes of all time

[placid quail]

a lot of people dont tell their secrets

[bleak dove]

Yeah

[placid quail]

oos is especially brutal i feel for cali kids

lots of 1550-1600s around here

[muted loom]

Yeah we got some pretty insane kids in Seattle too

Like lakeside

The school bill gates went to

Crazy stacked

And a bunch of other crazy stacked schools in the area too

[placid quail]

your 36 is a huge focal point i feel

i dont see many 36s honestly

[still hollow]

this one kid got in from my school for bio

he thought ut was a safety lol

he still thinks its a safety

[wanton flower]

ut is a safety for no one lmao

[muted loom]

It's superscore lol

And stats aren't all that important

[placid quail]

you know what sucks

[still hollow]

he said "its calm I knew id get in"

i hate cocky ppl sm

idk

[placid quail]

my superscore and regular score is both exactly the same unless you look at the breakdown

[still hollow]

sorry

[placid quail]

and even so its literally not much of a diff

[wanton flower]

thats so annoying

[muted loom]

Ouch x_x

[still hollow]

he isnt even like allat

no offense

if anything he mentioned QUEST in his essay because we use quest in ap physics

so that was probably the focal point of his app 😭

[unkempt compass]

ok yeah im not getting into ut austin cause i opened the portal and saw this

welp

who even gaf

[still hollow]

??

[placid quail]

what is that thing

[still hollow]

r u intl

or smth

[unkempt compass]

yes

[still hollow]

oh

[unkempt compass]

apparently i don't have enough 'credits' for social sciences

and i need to get one more before enrolling

[placid quail]

interesting

[unkempt compass]

i also need to explain

why i don't have

enough

[placid quail]

i see

my condolences that the file didnt go through

[unkempt compass]

which is. bro it's just the system here. you drop social sciences after 10th grade.

goofy ass college

[placid quail]

that sucks :[

i had to be very careful with coursework when applying

every college has diff reqs

[unkempt compass]

i noticed UT in particular was excessively trying to fit my coursework to match a standard american hs education when the two just don't line up

ah well who gives a shit bro i already got uiuc

[placid quail]

congrats! what major btw

[green tangle]

is there a co29 discord for ut?

[placid quail]

there should be

[green tangle]

i'm just trying to google/search it on disc and can't find anything 💀

[unkempt compass]

MechE

[placid quail]

thats fire

[distant summit]

wait bruh

[lofty igloo]

MechE international?

[distant summit]

I thought UT Ling+CS was just an honors program

💀

[unkempt compass]

fake intl

[distant summit]

i didnt know that

[unkempt compass]

us citizen raised abroad

[lofty igloo]

Congrats bro that’s sick

[unkempt compass]

so i count as oos

[distant summit]

you couldnt do fucking turing

with it

fuckc

how do i swithc out 😭

[placid quail]

shouldve done cs tho

[unkempt compass]

thanks bro

[unkempt compass]

bro fuck cs

[lofty igloo]

I applied MechE intl too

[distant summit]

fuck

dude

[lofty igloo]

Haven’t got an update yet tho

[unkempt compass]

RD?

[lofty igloo]

Yeah RD

[placid quail]

how dare you./...

[unkempt compass]

im sorry

cs just isnt for me

[muted loom]

LOL

[muted loom]

Same

I'm not a cs girl

[placid quail]

ive told this to other folks, but i applied cs or at least did cs related because thats kinda all that my portfolio has 😓 accidentally became a cs major lol

in uni im thinking of expanding outwards to some degree, maybe even into bio somehow

for now, i can torture myself with uiuc cs and math

[unkempt compass]

oh wait thats a banger program

congrats

[muted loom]

me when I accidentally became a poli sci major for some schools

[placid quail]

you and your bill

😎

co-bill

[placid quail]

its so hard tho

maybe i shouyld just retire to north carolina 💀

[muted loom]

it's funny cause in general I never tell people about my ecs or am very vague about it and then there's you casually talking about it lol

[distant summit]

yo

[placid quail]

BUT THE BILL

[distant summit]

does anyone know if there's a UT CS discord server

[muted loom]

🤷‍♀️

[muted loom]

not that I've seen

[wanton flower]

is there a ut class of 29 discord

we should have one

[distant summit]

vro

im screwed

😭

[placid quail]

tro

[storm sequoia]

did anyone join theface book?

[unkempt compass]

i cant believe ut austin randomly added another item to my checklist and didnt even email me to let me know

bum ass school fr (for those who got in i dont actually think this im just annoyed)

[elder ice]

its prob more tbh

naviance is an underestimate sometimes because people dont report

[placid quail]

oh shoot people manually report?

so is the total applicant numbers automatic

or is that also reported

[elder ice]

with coach?

[placid quail]

yeah

💀

[elder ice]

yeah dawg you gotta manually report too

ive been doing it

[placid quail]

i thought it was automatic somehow

cant trust shi

[elder ice]

automatic as long as common app is synced?

not sure

[placid quail]

that was my guess

[graceful moon]

@distant summit lfg bro

[elder ice]

i think the counselors force you at the end of the year though

[graceful moon]

Proud of you

[elder ice]

but i def remember more than 1-3 ppl getting UT

maybe like 5 ish

[placid quail]

still small lol

hmm is naviance actually completely manual

[elder ice]

idk but it says 0 people last year which is false because i know a guy from our school whos at UT class of '28

[placid quail]

i see

[distant summit]

dude i might have fucked up

bro i got in for ling+cs right

and CS

its on both right

well

apparently Ling+CS cant do CNS honors

so

fuck

i was wondering i could drop the X if i cant do Turing 💀

fucckkk

[graceful moon]

Oh so u gotta pick one or the other?

if u get Turings

[distant summit]

idk

[graceful moon]

Then do Turings

[distant summit]

maybe

yeah fs

if i get turings im taking and not looking baclk

[graceful moon]

you can prob do comp ling with Turings research lol

[distant summit]

but idk if they'll even let me do turings

or if they'll let me drop the X

they said im currently coded as CS entry level

then in fall sem ill be switched to CS and linguistics both

then to Ling+CS

but like

what if i dont wanna be swithced to Ling+CS

😭

like would i have to internal transfer into CS

💀

maybe im stressing too hard

but damn

nah i was RD

[hazy oriole]

I applied EA, got deferred, and then got admitted to McCombs.

[distant summit]

yeah

in state rd

[hazy oriole]

You will get it in the next 8 days.

They said a MAJORITY of people will get their decisions today.

You are just part of an unfortunate minority that has to wait for admissions results.

[distant summit]

fuck

dude why did i apply to a new ass program 😭

there's ZERO info about ts

fuck

like they just randomly hit me with a bombshell

[hazy oriole]

Rejected people won't announce it.

[distant summit]

"uhh ur not eligible for CNS honors in X+CS" ???

fuck

[cedar barn]

did anyone get honors yet?

[distant summit]

applied turing, still in review

idk whats happening

idk

maybe

[storm sequoia]

I applied to turing and engineering

Both still in review

[distant summit]

did u do ECE as second choice?

[storm sequoia]

Yes

[distant summit]

ah

ic

[buoyant ermine]

guys ut austin or uiuc for cs

i have an interview tmr for uiuc music + cs

[hazy oriole]

UT

[buoyant ermine]

but lowkey dont wanna do it bc i got ut

cs

[hazy oriole]

All day, every day.

[buoyant ermine]

frl ?

[hazy oriole]

(I'm biased)

[buoyant ermine]

why

oh

[hazy oriole]

But UTCS is GREAT.

[buoyant ermine]

yeah utcs is freaking awesome

[hazy oriole]

Better than UIUC I'd say.

[buoyant ermine]

but so is uiuc

why do you think sp

so

[hazy oriole]

I'd look at career stats.

Post-grad

[buoyant ermine]

am i set for life with utcs

[buoyant ermine]

sheesh

[distant summit]

UIUC does interviews?? 😭

or is it just music

[buoyant ermine]

for cs + music

yeah

[hazy oriole]

UIUC

[buoyant ermine]

should i attend

or just go to ut

in state

[hazy oriole]

In-state

UIUC is not worth the extra $30-40K.

[buoyant ermine]

ur right

im also not rich

to pay for ts

[hazy oriole]

Plus you can also network with McCombs students (collab between CS and business is key these days).

UIUC doesn't have a business school that matches McCombs.

[distant summit]

gies is alright

[buoyant ermine]

i got hella friends in mccombs

[hazy oriole]

Maybe you'll have one more 👀

[buoyant ermine]

type shi

ok i was already leaning heavily to ut cs tbh

im excited

didn't expect to get in at all

[tidal meteor]

do we get evaluated on hons consideration before or after being admitted?

[placid quail]

uiuc cs ranks higher than ut austin

[distant summit]

same tier honestly

[wanton flower]

we should have a '29 discord or smth

[placid quail]

eh yeah

[wanton flower]

so we can talk

[distant summit]

UIUC is like

[wanton flower]

and meet other people who are going to ut

[storm sequoia]

Are you going to make one?

[wanton flower]

i dont want to own it

but if someone does make one i'd join

[storm sequoia]

😭

[fresh cape]

got into UT comp sci 🤘

[modern oriole]

lol same

[wanton flower]

texadmissions guy says oos acceptance was around 5% and in-state non-auto was around 5-10%

[tardy field]

[tardy field]

Yeah
10% slots are left for intl and oos

[wanton flower]

yeahg

[gilded copper]

Ah makes sense why I got capped then

[muted loom]

there is no way that's true

isn't oos like 10%?

5% is actually insane

[placid quail]

hell no

texas has always been terrible for oos

[wanton flower]

that's the amount of the class that can be oos

[wanton flower]

the acceptance rate is what percent of applicants got in out of the oos pool

[wanton flower]

this is old and also inaccurate

[placid quail]

2024 though

mb shitty source

[wanton flower]

ut austin is historically awful if you arent in-state (and usually auto)

[gilded copper]

In state non auto -> capped lol

[wanton flower]

there was a 50% increase in oos applicants too

[muted loom]

where's the source for 5%?

[muted loom]

oh yeah I heard about that

[wanton flower]

texadmissions guy

[muted loom]

I think it was a bit less than 50 but yeah huge increase

[wanton flower]

i trust his word

[muted loom]

Lol aight

[wanton flower]

it was 48 i think i just rounded up

[buoyant ermine]

yo for ut cs admits can u send stats

i got it too

[wanton flower]

so maybe closer to 7% but still crazy low

[buoyant ermine]

in*

[gilded copper]

Fuck man

I'm still hung up abt cap

What do I classify cap under? rejection?

[ruby holly]

ut only has 400 cs seats

[muted loom]

In the poll there's an option for capped

[ruby holly]

so it has to be crazy low

[gilded copper]

Nah I mean for my username

Tbh it's equivalent to a rejection

[muted loom]

Oh

[gilded copper]

They don't want me

[muted loom]

Uhhh

Yeah I would probably put it under rejection ngl x_x

But it's still better than a pure rejection

[gilded copper]

brb

Ight

5R

[buoyant ermine]

is cs hardest major at ut

[buoyant ermine]

also what is the source for this

[wanton flower]

yes

[buoyant ermine]

damn im him

[wanton flower]

cs, then ece, then biomed/maybe aero, then other engineering and business

[buoyant ermine]

i thought ece and mccombs were on par

[wanton flower]

architecture and nursing fit somewhere in there too

ece is like closeish

but its still less comp than cs

[fresh cape]

@wanton flower what major r u

[wanton flower]

bio

[fresh cape]

nice

[wanton flower]

so excited for the lack of a job when i graduate

wbu

[fresh cape]

CS

[buoyant ermine]

so surprised i got cs

[wanton flower]

damnn

[fresh cape]

so excited for homelessness when I graduate

[wanton flower]

did you get in?

[fresh cape]

yea

[wanton flower]

congrats man

[fresh cape]

thanks

[wanton flower]

ut cs is crazy difficult

[fresh cape]

ik I was so shocked

[wanton flower]

are you in-state?

[fresh cape]

Im auto accept so i was gonna cope with an intenral transfer

ye

[wanton flower]

same

i've committed already

[fresh cape]

yea I kinda feel bad for all OOS people tho

[wanton flower]

enrollment deposit is paid and everything

[fresh cape]

ima wait a lil just to make sure

that I actualkly wanna go to college

[wanton flower]

i'd feel bad but also it's my state school and i want to not pay 70k a year to go to a prestigious school

[fresh cape]

true true

[wanton flower]

to me it's fair that oos only gets a small percent of the incoming class but it definitely sucks to be in that spot

[fresh cape]

this is the reward we get for living in texas ❤️

[wanton flower]

and putting up with the 100+ degree weather

[muted loom]

oh yeah

I couldn't do it x_x

[fresh cape]

its not that bad

[muted loom]

Me when my top 2 choices are both southern schools

[fresh cape]

its just like the last 2 weeks of august

[muted loom]

Okay still

[fresh cape]

fall time texas is my favorite

[muted loom]

I die in like 80 degree weather lol

[wanton flower]

i've been doing it since i was 6 months old

[buoyant ermine]

should i even consider gtech over ut

[fresh cape]

greatest football weather, best vibes

[muted loom]

gt is better totally not biased

[wanton flower]

late august feels like the gates of hell have opened up

[fresh cape]

comp sci?

[wanton flower]

i like it when it's warm until i don't have a bottle of water with me

[buoyant ermine]

yeah cs

[fresh cape]

I feel like GT is THE comp sci school so GT

[buoyant ermine]

bc im really just waiting for gtech and cmu but ik i have 0 chance for cmu

[wanton flower]

i believe ut's cs program is in the top 10 of the nation, but it depends. are you in-state for either school?

[fresh cape]

unless u like austin more than downtown atlanta 💔

[buoyant ermine]

in state ut

i love austin

[wanton flower]

honestly ut then

[buoyant ermine]

but ive never been to atl

[wanton flower]

don't pay oos tuition when you could go in-state for an equally good education

[buoyant ermine]

i dont think gt is THE cs school

cmu or stanford are

[wanton flower]

if you get into one of those schools then maybe

but ut is awesome

im the #1 ut fangirl

[buoyant ermine]

i like ut

i like the parties they be having every week

i like the diversity

[wanton flower]

also they have the best coffee place of all time on campus 🎉

lucky lab

i mean i only get chai lattes but they have a very good chai

[buoyant ermine]

never been lol

[tardy field]

Agree
If tech related

[fresh cape]

i wish I got into rice cuz they got that harry potter housing system

[wanton flower]

i wish i'd applied to rice

i wouldn't have gone but the application looked fun

[buoyant ermine]

rice cs gets mogged by ut

[fresh cape]

i applied ED2 and wrote my essays 2 hours before the deadline so it made sense i got rejected

[buoyant ermine]

lmao

[fresh cape]

but I also wrote my essays for UT day of the deadline so I guess I cooked

[buoyant ermine]

i did the box section in like 30 seconds

[cedar barn]

what’s the bme oos acceptance rate?

[wanton flower]

really low

[buoyant ermine]

just scrolled through my camera roll

[cedar barn]

also is ut bme harder than gt bme

[fresh cape]

everyone said that thing didnt even matter and ppl freak out over it all the time

[wanton flower]

the overall oos acceptance rate seems to have been like... 7% this cycle? and bme is very competitive

[fresh cape]

i put a picture of my lego star wars collection

[muted loom]

I spent hours on my duke application and got rejected then got into gt oos when I spent 1 hour on it and applied to a major half in the college of computing with multiple Bs in STEM and no CS related Ecs/classes 🤷‍♀️

[cedar barn]

oh wow is it like almost as low as cs idk

[wanton flower]

not as low as cs no

[cedar barn]

WHAT

[buoyant ermine]

yeah it rly doesnt lol someone at my school 2 years ago sent a pic of his girl in a bikini with the caption "nice" and got in

[cedar barn]

7% is insane

[fresh cape]

thats wild. Congrats tho!

[wanton flower]

that's my estimate at least

[buoyant ermine]

were there really 400 seats for ut cs

[muted loom]

LOL no way

[buoyant ermine]

way

[wanton flower]

last year it was around 10% oos, and ut saw a 48% rise in oos applications so the acceptance rate would have to drop

since the oos population of ut is capped

[wanton flower]

LOL??

[cedar barn]

oh so by pure math it would be like 6.76%

crazy

[wanton flower]

yeah but honestly i wouldn't be surprised if it was even lower

most of the increase was in stem majors

[cedar barn]

do they release this info or no

[wanton flower]

the 48% increase is from a news article, and the 10% acceptance rate is available in the cds for 2023

[fresh cape]

I just wanna thank my parents for moving to texas 🔥 🔥

[wanton flower]

for real omg

[fresh cape]

i was NOT getting in oos 😭

[wanton flower]

same

[buoyant ermine]

how many ppl get into ut cs

[wanton flower]

very few

cs is hard, even for auto admits

[buoyant ermine]

like what is the acceptance eate for cs

[fresh cape]

google just says less than 9%

around 7 actually

[wanton flower]

my friend is auto and she got rejected from cs

i feel bad for her because she doesn't even want to major in cs

she just decided to apply for cs to every. single. university she applied to

[fresh cape]

dangg

[muted loom]

x_x

that's insane

[fresh cape]

my entire high school career was comp sci based but im lowk not even that good at comp sci

time to lock in till august

[wanton flower]

are you guys planning to commit to ut

or are you waiting

[fresh cape]

im like 95%

im not waiting for anymore schools

[wanton flower]

go for it

[fresh cape]

so far I have TAMU engineering and UT cs

[wanton flower]

the mascot is a longhorn

[buoyant ermine]

bro i barely got into cs i think i have to commit

[fresh cape]

i also have the drop out and escape the matrix path 🔥

[muted loom]

Nope

I didn't withdraw UT though cause the chances of me attending aren't 0%

But I don't think it's likely for me to go

It's a great school though and I appreciate getting accepted

[cedar barn]

wait why if she doesn't want to major in cs 😭

[wanton flower]

i have no clue i feel so bad for her

[cedar barn]

im still waiting for some lol

[wanton flower]

she said she did it offhandedly

and somehow she picked the most competitive major possible

oh yeah i should withdraw from purdue probably

[muted loom]

MY PARENTS WON'T LET ME WITHDRAW

[wanton flower]

?!?!??!?!

what purpose does that serve

[fresh cape]

ur withdrawl could save someones life.

jk

[muted loom]

Cause they said it doesn't hurt any other applicants because EA is already over (but Rd still exists) and it's better to have more options which like yeah but I will 100% not go to purdue

[wanton flower]

it does hurt other applicants though 💀

right?

let them give the spot to someone else

[muted loom]

Yeah cause one person not committing to purdue means someone else might get in rd

Like I'm only withdrawing the schools I'm 200% sure that I won't be attending

And purdue falls in that list

alongside uiuc and northeastern

yet I'm not allowed to withdraw those

Cause I've already gotten in

[wanton flower]

that's bananas

[muted loom]

Gt/unc are my top 2 so obviously I'm not withdrawing those, and ut austin is #3 so far so yeah I'm keeping that around for now just in case

[wanton flower]

i understand wanting to have options but if you decided you aren't going then it's pointless to not deny the offer

[muted loom]

But for schools that I'm definitely not going to idk why they won't let me withdraw

[muted loom]

Yeah

[wanton flower]

youre cs right?

[muted loom]

No

[wanton flower]

oh damn

i got my people mixed up

eng?

[muted loom]

Purdue: UX design
uiuc: info sci
northeastern: design + business
Ut austin: informatics
UNC: info sci
Gt: computational media

so not like the most popular major

[wanton flower]

idk why i thought you were cs or eng my bad gang

[muted loom]

but someone else might have one of those schools as their dream school

[wanton flower]

yeah fs

[muted loom]

nah comp media at gt is half in cs anyways

Either way I doubt one spot will make a difference

But if everyone withdraws the second they know they won't be committing it'll make an impact

[wanton flower]

agreed

honestly i'm a little scared to

[muted loom]

Like I withdrew a bunch of schools a few days ago from RD cause I 100% know I won't be committing so hopefully that helps someone out

[muted loom]

you're already committed lol

what are you scared of?

[wanton flower]

part of me is worried ut will rescind my offer

which ik isn't going to happen

[muted loom]

you've paid the deposit right? they definitely won't unless you commit a criminal offense or something lol

I get the paranoia though

I keep worrying about getting rescinded too

[wanton flower]

i hope they don't find out about my drug empire

that'd be bad

[muted loom]

LOL

just gonna screenshot that and send it over rq lol

dw you'll be fine

Just don't fail any classes

but congrats on ut!! it's a great school

[wanton flower]

NOO

thank you!

[muted loom]

out of context this looks funny lol

[graceful moon]

Ngl

I’ve never seen a public school

Rescind

I’d assume it’s only ivy schools

[fresh cape]

how do u verify for college student role

[graceful moon]

idk

[wanton flower]

you have to send proof that you paid the enrollment deposit, as well as your discord user

like in the same photo

did you just commit??

[fresh cape]

nah

[graceful moon]

zz

[fresh cape]

like mentally tho I commited like 97.5%

[wanton flower]

gotcha

[gilded copper]

Welp time to leave this thread

[graceful moon]

bye

[gilded copper]

Bye yall

[fresh cape]

goodbye

[wanton flower]

bye man :( i'm sorry you got capped

it sucks

[graceful moon]

Did u apply anywhere else?

[wanton flower]

ut admissions are random

[fresh cape]

TAMU engineering accepted. Rice rejected

[graceful moon]

ohh you Ed rice?

[fresh cape]

yeaa

[graceful moon]

dang okay

Ut cs better anyway

[wanton flower]

omg i just realized your profile picture is a guy wearing a hat

[fresh cape]

so for me just deciding if i wanna go to college or not

[wanton flower]

i thought it was a drawing of trump hiding in grass

[fresh cape]

its luffy

[graceful moon]

bruh lol

[wanton flower]

i have bad eyesight

[graceful moon]

@fresh cape r there any schools u would choose over ut cs

[fresh cape]

rice if I ever got in

but didnt apply anywhere better

[wanton flower]

really??

[fresh cape]

im staying in texas

[wanton flower]

is it because of the area

[fresh cape]

i would pay 0 tuition

[graceful moon]

oh

[wanton flower]

aha!

[graceful moon]

yeah I had that same mindset ngl

[fresh cape]

rice is free if u make under 140k a year

and still half tuition then u make less than 200k

[graceful moon]

Yea that’s valid

I’m only choosing Yale cs over ut cs bc Yale is cheaper for me

[wanton flower]

wtf i shouldve applied to rice

bruh

[fresh cape]

thats a whole ivy league tho congrats

[graceful moon]

It’s kinda with any private top 20

[graceful moon]

Thank you

[wanton flower]

i want to stay in texas though

[graceful moon]

ohh ok

I mean I do too lol

[fresh cape]

ik certain programs might be better but I would much rather say I go to yale than I go to UT

[graceful moon]

Even if I go out of state for college

I wanna live here and come back

[wanton flower]

unless i had gotten into uw i would've just sucked it up and gone to houston

[graceful moon]

yeah I don’t think undergrad should be focused much on major rankings anyway

fit > rank for undergrad

[wanton flower]

agreed

[fresh cape]

it still doesn't feel real that Im doing this rn

[wanton flower]

same

i cant believe i got in

i've been waiting over 6 months for this

i applied in august

[fresh cape]

i applied dec 1st at 11:50 PM

[ruby holly]

https://catalog.utexas.edu/general-information/appendices/statistical-summaries/

they prob accept abt 1k tho

[placid quail]

Friends with someone who got into ut Austin cs oos, it’s crazy hard out here

[wanton flower]

is this the amount of degrees awarded per year??

it seems low

maybe im reading it wrong though

im on mobile

[ruby holly]

yea its prob close to number of students in each year

engineering releases actual student numbers and this is about 90% of that for those majors

so I would assume about 450 cs students

and 1000 admits

[vestal scaffold]

I got no update

[wanton flower]

wow

only 227 bio degrees is crazy to me

how many spots are there for biology ?!

oh that doesnt include the bio bsa

[unkempt compass]

i may be the first person in the history of this server to bring up this form bruh 💀

[tawny meadow]

what the

[fresh cape]

wasn’t it like 4 years English 2 years foreign language

[unkempt compass]

i would also like to go on the record and let everyone know that UT AUSTIN DOES NOT EMAIL YOU FOR ADDITIONAL STUFF THEY ADD TO YOUR APPLICATION CHECKLIST 😭😭

[storm sequoia]

Thats crazy

[finite mirage]

Nah what

[still kestrel]

did anyone get their decision rn?

[finite mirage]

Like today or like right now

[still kestrel]

Today today (8th feb)

[distant summit]

no you’ll get it next week

[still kestrel]

T-T👍

[icy raft]

who got in

[cold hedge]

meee

sike i wish

[crystal pilot]

does ut austin have appeals

[distant summit]

UT appeals r cooked this year

does anyone know when turing drops

[storm sequoia]

Wait list

[storm sequoia]

Maybe next week, in jan they dropped a week after acceptance

[distant summit]

WWWW

manifesting turing

holy shit

next week might be crazy

[storm sequoia]

Same pls turing

[storm sequoia]

What happens then

[distant summit]

i rly like my turing essay

[distant summit]

if honors drop

[storm sequoia]

that’s great

[distant summit]

and i think i have a good fit for turing

so

im praying on it

[storm sequoia]

Wait when does financial aid drop

[distant summit]

docu deadline is feb 15

[storm sequoia]

Thanks

[placid quail]

Alr did

For EAs at least

[distant summit]

the next batch

i meant

[placid quail]

Ah

[icy raft]

did anyone get ece

🥳

[tribal fractal]

when is the fafsa deadline for UT if anyone knows?

[icy raft]

sometime mid march

[jolly quest]

i was auto and i didnt get it 😭

[maiden aurora]

I did

[icy raft]

nicee

[icy raft]

rip im sorry

[jolly quest]

its all good

i gave up on worrying about my acceptance a while ago

[hazy oriole]

Real

[icy raft]

that's a good mindset

for college apps

[jolly quest]

after waiting sooo long for jan 15 and it getting pushed back for literally everyone

[distant summit]

ECE got cooked for my school this yr

[jolly quest]

i just stopped worrying

[distant summit]

im so surprised i got in for CS

non-auto

not even top 10%

[jolly quest]

i still dont know who got in at my school besides two

[distant summit]

shit essays

[jolly quest]

one of my friends got in for bio and another for chemE

[jolly quest]

niceee

[still hollow]

My friend got in for bio oos

[distant summit]

fuck

i got rjeected

[cedar barn]

does ineligible mean rejected?

mine still says in review but it’s for engineering honors

[distant summit]

prolly?

apparently a lot of people got ineligibel after 1/15 but then it was a glitch

[faint rampart]

it's chill real

turing takes like nobody

I know one guy who got in and that's it

[distant summit]

rip

i was excited for it

[cedar barn]

i got ineligible after 1/15 when i was deferred but it went back to in review

[distant summit]

ah

i was RD

[green tangle]

same for csb

[distant summit]

i got into Ling+CS so maybe that's why it says ineligible?? but the email literally said you could apply for both and then choose

[green tangle]

call admissions?

[distant summit]

can we call on weekends

[storm sequoia]

Maybe thats why

Bc mines shows rhis

And i cant get engineering bc i got into cs

[distant summit]

thats the email my friend got

i applied 1. CS 2. linguistics

yeah it makes sense but it does contradict what she said

[storm sequoia]

Ahh

Just call admissions on Monday

[distant summit]

yeah

[night frost]

what does this mean

mine still syas in review

[distant summit]

i just said what i think it means😭

[night frost]

oh \

im slow

makes sense

[wanton flower]

anyone else here admitted for bio?

i have seen so few biology admits

[hazy oriole]

I have a friend who was admitted for bio.

He was admitted in January.

[wanton flower]

congrats to him

[hazy oriole]

I don't know that many people who got their major.

[distant summit]

im crashing out 😭

[hazy oriole]

Maybe like 10 people but that's it

I know a CS, a BME, and a couple McCombs.

Some of my friends got COLA, so they're not going.

[hazy oriole]

Average student reaction

[wanton flower]

https://www.reddit.com/r/UTAdmissions/comments/1ik4ued/ut_austin_2025_data_from_the_google_form/

[wanton flower]

i wasn't at school on friday so i didn't get to talk to others about it, but i've only heard of like 7 kids at my school who got their first-choice so far

[hazy oriole]

And you're in-state, right?

[wanton flower]

yeah

big hs fairly close to ut austin, too

[hazy oriole]

I don't feel like asking people about their major 😂

[wanton flower]

i haven't asked around much but it seems like ut got significantly more competitive this year

[hazy oriole]

For some, it's rubbing salt into their wounds.
