UT Austin (2024-2025)

[wanton flower]

i'm asking a girl in my biotech class because i'd be genuinely shocked if she didn't get in

[hazy oriole]

I just posted an Instagram note: "McDonald's? Nah. McCombs!"

[wanton flower]

she also applied for bio and she is super smart

[hazy oriole]

I asked my CS applicant friend - he's really, really smart.

He got in.

[wanton flower]

same

he's the only cs person i know who got in at my school

[hazy oriole]

I know a few CS.

[wanton flower]

only one of my close friends got in 😭

[hazy oriole]

I know two engineering applicants who got COLA.

[wanton flower]

i have a business friend who got cola too

[hazy oriole]

That must suck.

[vestal scaffold]

Im just trying to get 1 acceptance to one of my US unis

[wanton flower]

which is crazy because she's a non-auto

[hazy oriole]

Surprised it wasn't an outright rejection.

Does anyone actually go to COLA?

[wanton flower]

some people do

but it's effectively a rejection if you want a stem major

[hazy oriole]

There's no reason enrolling at a college that won't even give you the major you want (unless there are financial/personal reasons).

[wanton flower]

for eng and business and cs yes

for other cns degrees it's possible to transfer

[hazy oriole]

In that case, it shouldn't be an issue.

But for those 3 areas, it's just a waste of time to enroll without your major.

[wanton flower]

agreed

those are the most popular majors at ut

so for most people its a waste

[hazy oriole]

They're the most popular at almost every university.

Personally, UT should streamline their admission process.

Instead of 75% for the university, it should be 75% for each major.

[wanton flower]

i disagree

i think the autoadmit process is bad

[hazy oriole]

So then you can make 3 deadlines for in-state auto, in-state non-auto, and OOS/intl.

[wanton flower]

if you have auto admits it shouldn't be 75%, it should be more like top 1-2% gets 25% of the class

[hazy oriole]

I disagree with the statement that the auto-admit process is bad. It rewards academic excellence in core subjects and ensures that UT enrollment favors Texas students.

[wanton flower]

it doesn't take into account major life events of the applicant

speaking from experience

[hazy oriole]

That is also true; however, that begs the question: how small of a minority are those people with major life events taking place?

[wanton flower]

grades are not an absolute indicator of academic capability

[wanton flower]

i know a lot of people

[distant summit]

i think auto admit is bad

nobody is really satisfied by it

the auto admits that wouldnt have gotten in without it are getting COLA'd

its very confusing to a lot of ppl imo

and ofc non-autos obvously arent happy with it

[hazy oriole]

It's usually meaningless in terms of major, but it might help some.

[wanton flower]

how does it ensure ut favors texan students? it'd be equally effective to just have a 10% cap on oos students period

which is how public state universities should be imo

[hazy oriole]

Isn't that cap already there?

75% must be auto, 90% auto or in-state. 10% intl/OOS

[wanton flower]

yes, so the auto-admit process doesn't favor texan students

because 90% have to be texan

the 75% is just splitting up that 90%

remove the 75% rule and you still have a 90% texas class

[hazy oriole]

I see what you're saying.

Some argue that the auto-admit process helps equalize some factors of education.

If you live in a very poor rural area, the auto-admit rule will help high achieving students there get in.

[wanton flower]

aos should consider the circumstances of a student (including socioeconomic background and the opportunities offered at their school) already

in a perfect world they would

[hazy oriole]

Unfortunately, the world is not perfect.

[wanton flower]

but since auto-admit only guarantees cola it still doesn't really help them

[hazy oriole]

While auto-admit helps a lot of people, it can also inevitably have downsides.

[wanton flower]

high-achieving students tend to go for stem majors

[distant summit]

i think UT should just abandon auto or do it based off a state index too

[hazy oriole]

State index?

[distant summit]

UCs calculate a common index across all in-state students

[hazy oriole]

Would you support a top 6% state index?

[wanton flower]

ucs only consider sophomore and junior grades right?

[distant summit]

and top 9 percent or top 9 rank in one's school guarantees admission to a UC

[distant summit]

maybe?

[wanton flower]

i feel like that is better

[distant summit]

but idk i think autoadmit itself is flawed, its wayy to competitive

[hazy oriole]

I think that also runs into issues because one school could inflate their students' grades to surpass the index. Per school would curb that issue.

[wanton flower]

i still think that the 75% requirement is inherently flawed

[distant summit]

and it doesnt guarantee major

[hazy oriole]

It would be competitive with or without.

[wanton flower]

25% and top 1-2% of the class is a better metric

[distant summit]

i think UT should just drop autoadmit entirely since its clearly causing way more confusion than

[wanton flower]

it's misleading aswell

[distant summit]

too competitive for autoadmission to mean anything for comp majors

[wanton flower]

people think they get in for their major automatically but it has no effective benefit

unless youre a cola student but cola is not super competitive

[distant summit]

i mean i got into CS without auto admit or even being ranked top 10% i think thats js holistic

[distant summit]

i thinkevery tx resident can get into COLA

thru CAP

[wanton flower]

sorry im very tired my thoughts are not coming out right rn

[distant summit]

dont know a single one who got rejected by CAP

[wanton flower]

that's true

[hazy oriole]

While there may be factors impacting academic performance (which should absolutely be acknowledged when applying), a fair amount of people are not impacted by such issues (though there are absolutely those who are).

[storm sequoia]

Same! Im not auto nor top 10

[wanton flower]

i believe it's a significant enough amount of people that it matters (just based on who i know), but i am admittedly biased because i was one of those individuals myself

we don't really have a solid statistic proving whether auto-admit status offers a significant advantage in admissions

assuming that it does, it's obviously unfair to the aforementioned people, as well as those at incredibly competitive highschools. if there is an auto-admit process, it should be a) a smaller % of the class and b) only the top 1-2% of the class

assuming it doesn't, it is completely ineffective and should be removed anyway

[hazy oriole]

Apparently the top 6% rule is also for diversity.

After a court case

[wanton flower]

that is definitely important but i think there's better ways to ensure the incoming class is diverse

holistic admissions for instance

holistic admissions takes into account the lack of opportunities in low-income/rural areas and also accounts for people who had life events affect their grades in highschool

[icy raft]

corv what's your major

i feel like i've asked before but i dont remember 😭

[wanton flower]

biology

[wanton flower]

you have

theres like 100 people in this channel though so i understand forgetting

[icy raft]

also i dont check this server often

💀

[icy raft]

congrats

are you committed

[opaque briar]

Bro

read his name

💀💀

[wanton flower]

yeah 🎉🎉🎉

im so excited

[storm sequoia]

Ut please give me good aid

[wanton flower]

are you in-state or oos?

[storm sequoia]

In state

[fresh cape]

i think the problem is that they just cant since its a texas law. they r already the only school with exceptions to the auto admit rule 😭

[distant summit]

yeah lol

[wanton flower]

we simply have to overthrow the texas state government

easy!

[mortal valve]

Hey what do yall know about the waitlista a person i know got capped and is wondering if that applies to them? can they still do capv

[frail thistle]

i mean

they js

shrink it

more and more

every eyar..

[wanton flower]

they shrink the requirement, not the percentage of the class that autoadmits take up

[wanton flower]

if they can open up the waitlist, they can probably submit it

[frail thistle]

but by shrinkig the requirement u are therefore shrinking the percentage of the class that autoadmits take up

[wanton flower]

cap is effectively a rejection

[wanton flower]

no because the amount of people graduating in texas increases every year

they have to hit the 75% mark, it's required by law

[frail thistle]

oh is that why theyre shrinking it

[wanton flower]

yeahh

[frail thistle]

then its gonna go back up soon no

lol

[wanton flower]

texas is growing

[wanton flower]

if the graduating class # drops then yeah it'd get less competitive

[frail thistle]

it likely will

given

07 baby boom

[wanton flower]

yeah

were you admitted this cycle?

[vital tulip]

did anyone else

rd and didnt get the result yet

asking for friend

[wanton flower]

ut released the majority of decisions yesterday, but they're planning a final wave on february 15th

[still kestrel]

me

[fresh cape]

what major

[still kestrel]

cs

Were most of the CS decisions released yesterday?

[distant summit]

most decisions period were released yesterday

[still kestrel]

ohh

[wanton flower]

it seems to me like theyre waiting to see who enrolls or withdraws before they do the final wave

so maybe itll have some acceptances

[fresh cape]

im commiting if eagles win the superbowl tmrw

[green tangle]

slay

does anyone wanna make a co29 server tgt

i haven't found one so far?

[wanton flower]

if you make one i will join

but i dont want to be involved in making it

i dont enjoy making discs

[tardy field]

[green tangle]

i'm willing to make one but i just don't have the experience to make a nice one. if someone wants to work w/ me though/mod i'd be down lol

[wanton flower]

you should just need like a roles bot or something

idk how fancy you want it to be

maybe a music bot

[green tangle]

ooooo okay

[placid quail]

💀

[raw lark]

does not getting a decision on friday mean that i am most likely rejected?

[finite mirage]

Nah chill

[raw lark]

🤞🤞

yeah bro

[finite mirage]

I’m waiting too, we getting in keep the energy up

[raw lark]

yeah we getting in we gettin in😤😤

that’s good to hear

[fresh cape]

yall got this 🔥

[odd lotus]

My friend got a rejection

[mortal valve]

For the waitlist of 200 words, what should I add, its nothing like an essay but more of a summation of things I've done? since applying.

[vital tulip]

Business

[green tangle]

hihi just coming back here to say i've gone and made this with a couple of fellow co29's! if you would like the link to get to know some other admits, dm me :)

[fickle plinth]

hi dmming

[wanton flower]

@distant summit @fresh cape @cedar barn hop in the ut 2029 server 📣

you guys are the people i remember talking to who said they were thinking abt committing

[maiden aurora]

I’m like 99.9% committed if u wanna slide a link

Only way i won’t go is if rice somehow gives me a huge merit scholarship 💀

[wanton flower]

dmed!

[fresh cape]

send me it pls

[fresh cape]

if you make less than 140k rice tuition is free

less than 200k half tuition

im p sure

@queen night "Take the World by the Horns is a program for outstanding students seeking to begin their college career with a semester abroad. It is considered a highly competitive and prestigious program as we receive many more applicants than we can accept."

I'm not sure whether they're just saying that though

I bet I could pose the same question to UNC about global launch and they'll respond the same

[sharp burrow]

r there any oos ut austin students here rn? one thing im kinda worried ab is the fact that 90%+ r texan residents and i might feel a lil alienated

[opaque briar]

become a texan lil bro

[tribal fractal]

what's the internal transfer acceptance rate to mccombs?

[wanton flower]

bad

[tribal fractal]

I heard it's 50% right?

[wanton flower]

it's probably a lot lower

mccombs is super competitive

where'd you hear 50%?

[tribal fractal]

oh yeah you're right. I found it from a reddit post that's 7 years old.

[gilded copper]

guess im back

gonna be on the waitlist

what does this mean

do they just lottery machine admit u when a spot opens up in ur major

or do they look at your academic updates stuff

[feral herald]

it means exactly what it says

every school takes admits off the waitlist differently, there's really no way to predict what their institutional priorities are

[gilded copper]

so its rng

[feral herald]

wdym

[gilded copper]

what does not ranked mean

do they not take the strongest waitlist person

[feral herald]

they take whoever they need based on institutional priorities

[gilded copper]

cooked

i dont think they want my mid ass

[feral herald]

if they expect to have completely full dorms and theres a commuter student on the waitlist, theyll probably take them

[gilded copper]

wait would living in austin be an advantage

[feral herald]

not necessarily

its just an example

[gilded copper]

i see

[feral herald]

you cant really predict what they need

like if the marching band really needs someone from a niche instrument and a student who plays said instrument and has expressed interest in the band is on the waitlist, that student can be admitted

[placid quail]

I’m oos

From Cali

[feral herald]

theres a million possibilities

[gilded copper]

got it

by any chance would u be willing to look at my waitlist academic updates

[sharp burrow]

I mean nj=cali… so its alr? I mean im assuming so but ive never like moved

[gilded copper]

hoorah joined waitlist

lets hope they want me

[placid quail]

Idk how diff Cali is from nj

[sharp burrow]

Wait oh im dumb i was tryna ask acc ut austin students

Oh wtv ill use this as a tiebreaker issue or smth

[gilded copper]

u can hop on utaustin reddit

[unkempt compass]

Anybody who didn't get a decision yet? 😭

[wraith lichen]

I think international students get it on 14th/15th

[still kestrel]

me

[finite mirage]

Me too

[wanton cradle]

Can it come before

[distant summit]

when does turing dropppp

ahh

[distant summit]

bro always submitting late apps 😭 😭

[knotty ocean]

y ut so random

i saw some oos dude with rly cooked class rank and act get into cs

like it can't be "holistic admissions" ut literally uses a fucking graph to make the final decision 😭

what part of this seems like it considers context

💀

[placid quail]

personal achievemnt index seems pretty vague

that could be the hollistic factor

[knotty ocean]

they consider holistic factors for the PAI but it's a scale from 1-6

there's no way it can elevate someone with cooked stats (<2.8 AI) to being competitive

ur admissions decision is based entirely on which cell u are in on that graph

it can only get so good

[placid quail]

yes but how is PAI determined

[knotty ocean]

they rate a bunch of stuff from 1 to 6 and then average them

[placid quail]

yeah, that rating would be the hollistic part i feel

[knotty ocean]

yea but it can only get so good like i said

[placid quail]

like if you have a good backstory

[knotty ocean]

so you can't really account for context

[placid quail]

they may rate you higher

its all just putting personal feelings into numbers

[knotty ocean]

yea but it only goes up to 6, if u have a rly cooked gpa for one sem and perfect gpa for the others cuz of a family tragedy that wont reflect in ur overall AI and ur PAI cant go high enough to save u

[placid quail]

but since determination is vague, they could just max it out to a 6 and be very harsh with giving a high PAI rating

i guess it's not the best system

but it seems practical to rate people on a mass scale

[knotty ocean]

they are decently generous, a counselor who used to work in UT admissions provided an example of a 5-6 profile

let me find it

[placid quail]

ah

[knotty ocean]

https://texadmissions.com/blog/2020/4/27/profile-of-an-engineering-honors-and-plan-ii-admitted-student

[placid quail]

at the same time, austin rather closed, they filter out most oos applicants

if you have below a 1500 sat and a weighted gpa under like 4.4, for out of state, its going to be exceptionally hard to get in

[knotty ocean]

the only oos admits i see either astonish me cuz of how cracked they are or astonish me cuz im super surprised they could get in with those stats

💀

i never see anyone normal

[placid quail]

if the stats are low, they like solved cancer or something on the side

😂

im oos for austin

but i didnt do anything crazy

[knotty ocean]

i think the actual reason is that there are a lot of fuckups while calculating AI especially for OOS applicants from unranked schools

[knotty ocean]

u got in?

[placid quail]

yes

[knotty ocean]

grats that's crazy

[knotty ocean]

like if u dont have a rank they "estimate" a rank for u somehow

[placid quail]

yeah its kinda shifty the more you think about it lool

but like, i cant think of any better way

unless you spend a long time planning out a super heavy systematic way to get people's opinions out in words

[knotty ocean]

yea as it stands looking solely at rank is prolly better than gpa

[gilded copper]

When do waitlist decisions typ come out?

[tribal fractal]

does anyone know UT's current ranking for econ?

[gilded copper]

usnews says 22

[tribal fractal]

is it that good?

[gilded copper]

yeah?

lol

[tribal fractal]

Is niche a good source for ranking? It says it's #79

[gilded copper]

... what

hold up

[gilded copper]

idk tbh

22 and 79 is a crazy disparity

but ut is overall good school

and its business is gud so id expect econ to be good too

[cold hedge]

Its econ isnt part of mccombs tho

[placid quail]

my overall issues with ut is that its hard to transfer or double major

[gilded copper]

ig u can ask r/utaustin

since they're actually students there

[cold hedge]

No idc i alr got rejected im just saying econ and business are two different animals

[gilded copper]

yeah ik but usnews and niche differ so much

[rustic hound]

Bro I'm nervous abt this everyday, just checkin' the portal every day

[distant summit]

fax yo

i think honors waves happen a week after offers are made

or maybe on wednesdays idk

so maybe we might see one

• tomorrow
• friday
• next wednesday
• next friday
• march 1

[rustic hound]

Hmm okay

Thanks lol :))

[oak isle]

a

[tribal fractal]

UT Liberal Arts College is not good then?

[cold hedge]

not really

[maiden aurora]

Is this just based on precedent from past years or what?

[distant summit]

yes and this year

where honors dropped the week after

[muted loom]

when my major doesn't even have honors lol

[maiden aurora]

I’m absolutely feining for that cockrell honors scholarship bro

[distant summit]

i mean isnt INFO in CNS

[muted loom]

ischool

[distant summit]

CNS honors is for all except x+Cs

ohh

https://ischool.utexas.edu/programs/informatics/honors

wdym

ischool has honors

[muted loom]

not for freshmen lol

I'm not going to ut austin so honestly doesn't matter to me

But yeah on the common app

You know how there was this place for you to select whether or not you want to be considered for honors

If you select my major

That option disappears

[distant summit]

oh

[covert trout]

did anyone do csb

[green tangle]

i applied csb yeah!

[covert trout]

OMG good luck wish u the best

[green tangle]

aaaa tysm!!

did you?

[covert trout]

no idk anything abt business HAHA but i feel like its a really good program for those that like both

[unkempt compass]

managed to get the situation cleared up

we're back up 🔥

[unkempt compass]

you should probably apply for housing rn

all the good housing might already be gone ☠️

and yea i think thats just how they do it

[storm sequoia]

Bc ut has less housing than they do students applying early is just good in case you do

[icy raft]

housing contracts are also sent out on a first come first serve basis

[distant summit]

apparently someone got deans scholars

today

did anyone get turing today

[storm sequoia]

mines didnt update

[distant summit]

mines is still in review

[storm sequoia]

Same

[rustic hound]

Yeah same

[mortal valve]

has anyone filled out the wailist??? and if so what did you put in the 200 words

[wanton flower]

i ended up being admitted, but i did have a paragraph written out so i could submit it asap just in case i didn't get in

i can dm it to you!

i wrote it the night before and didn't do any editing so idk how good it is but yk

[unkempt compass]

the funny thing is i technically count as oos

but there was a hold up with my result cause of some form that they didnt email me to fill out on my checklist

so idk when i'm getting my result

[brave bay]

yea

[cedar barn]

are all rd decisions for domestic students out?

[hazy oriole]

Most of them should be.

99%

[tribal fractal]

Is UT austin overrated?

[queen night]

nah top tier mascot

[wanton flower]

apparently one person hasnt received theirs

[wanton flower]

no lol

their admissions process is just a bit weird sometimes

[hazy oriole]

It depends on the major.

[storm sequoia]

Depends on what you say overrated is

[tribal fractal]

Is this school going to be something? Texas has Elon Musk now.

[wanton flower]

i wouldn't say so, they have certain programs which are more prestigious than others but none is undeserving of its ranking

[storm sequoia]

Wym by something 😭

[tribal fractal]

Are they going to become t20. Very prestigious!?

[storm sequoia]

The school is already really good

[wanton flower]

i'd say so, and they have programs that already are (cs)

[hazy oriole]

Also relativity

[storm sequoia]

Cs is top 10

[tribal fractal]

I got in for econ, which is not one of their top programs.

[queen night]

just bc it’s not t20 doesn’t mean it’s not “something”?

[wanton flower]

they still have a good econ program

[storm sequoia]

Do you want to do econ?

[wanton flower]

im assuming you're an auto who didnt get into their first pick?

[tribal fractal]

I got rejected from mccombs first choice

[storm sequoia]

Do you want to be at a big school with sports?

Oh

[wanton flower]

then why are you asking 😭 you're from texas

you should know ut is a very good school

[tribal fractal]

I'm from IL. I got in oos.

[wanton flower]

if you want econ, ut is a great school. if you don't want econ, go somewhere else.

i thought they didn't do second choice for oos ppl wtf

[storm sequoia]

You should pick a school where you can major in what you want

[storm sequoia]

They do sometimes

[wanton flower]

did you get into uiuc or another state school

i thought you were in-state but being oos changes things

i would not go to ut oos unless it was for business/cs/engineering because oos tuiton is almost never worth paying

[tribal fractal]

Yeah, UIUC gies. But for field I want to go into, it's not well-regarded.

[queen night]

i would invest some time into researching ut’s econ major and weighing its opportunities, costs, and scholarships against the other schools you have gotten/will get admitted to, asking if a particular program is worth something is very subjective

[storm sequoia]

Its better than umich oos

[wanton flower]

do you want to major in econ or business?

it's incredibly difficult to transfer at ut, so don't go if you're expecting to transfer into mccombs

[tribal fractal]

If I get rejected from all of my schools, I might try to go UT and transfer into mccombs and shoot like 15 transfer apps if that fails.

[storm sequoia]

Is it rlly that difficult

[wanton flower]

for mccombs yes

[storm sequoia]

Can i not transfer out of cs 😭

[wanton flower]

what major are you trying to get into

[storm sequoia]

Ece

😭

[queen night]

an angel is regaining its wings

[wanton flower]

oh

[queen night]

nvm

[wanton flower]

ece is like the second hardest major

[storm sequoia]

😭

[storm sequoia]

😔

[storm sequoia]

What’s the hardest?

[wanton flower]

cs

[storm sequoia]

Ob

Oh

[wanton flower]

being in cs already might make it easier

[storm sequoia]

Ill just stick with cs then

[wanton flower]

theyre pretty similar anyway arent they?

idk im not a cs person

[storm sequoia]

Eh

Similarities

[gilded copper]

Close enough ig

Lots of cs apply ece

[storm sequoia]

Ece was my second choice major 😭

[queen night]

what’s the deal w doing minors, how feasible would it be to do cs minor ece

idk if that’s an option

[storm sequoia]

Wait

[wanton flower]

you got into harvard bro 💀

[gilded copper]

Lmao I put aero as second choice

[wanton flower]

what are you doing here

[storm sequoia]

Idk if it is

[queen night]

not for me lol for the other dude

[wanton flower]

youd have to check the website, idk if you can minor in ece

[wanton flower]

oh oopsie daisies

[gilded copper]

I didn't know aero was hella competitive

[storm sequoia]

Bro my friend got into Berkeley met but not ut aero

[gilded copper]

... oos for both?

[gilded copper]

Yeah I learned

[wanton flower]

okay these are restricted to engineering

[gilded copper]

Still crazy tho

[storm sequoia]

Yayayay

I was just wondering

[icy raft]

honesrly if you want to it's possible

ik a couple people who transferred into ece

you just have to start early so that you don't fall too far behind

[storm sequoia]

I see

[storm sequoia]

Thank you!!!!

[icy raft]

yea np

im in ece rn so feel free to ask if you have any questions

[storm sequoia]

Thanks

[gilded copper]

Can you tell the aos to let me in 🙏

[icy raft]

yeah give me a sec

[placid quail]

They give majority to in state, who’s stats aren’t as competitive as oos, which is why ppl say it’s overrated

[storm sequoia]

They legally have too? I think

[gilded copper]

Yeah it's tx law

[storm sequoia]

Oh yeah 90% has to be instate

[placid quail]

Yep

[gilded copper]

Cooks non auto and then fries oos

[midnight owl]

Is it hard to register for classes? Can I dm you more questions ? I got in.

[icy raft]

oh yeah registration is a nightmare

also yeah sure

[storm sequoia]

Def cooks non autos

[gilded copper]

yes

im case in point

tbh i cooked myself

[storm sequoia]

How 😭

[gilded copper]

3.3 uw

[storm sequoia]

Oh

[gilded copper]

yes

[storm sequoia]

erm

[tribal fractal]

Is ut better than umich?

[warm knoll]

Lolll no

[storm sequoia]

For cs yes

[finite mirage]

Anybody got in?

Today

[gilded copper]

yes

check r/utadmissions

[wanton flower]

same

[tidal meteor]

yes for CS

[finite mirage]

Congrats 🔥

[tidal meteor]

thanks!

I submitted Honors Resume late though (didn't know that was a thing) so have to convince the AO to consider me now lol

put a lot of time into those essays don't want it to be for nothing

[late linden]

insane

[distant summit]

every state does this tbf

also dfw is hella comp regardless

like sure some bum from fucking Tyler or Pflugerville would have a far easier time than a very cracked applicant OOS/intl but like

there's hella comp from DFW, some from Houston/Austin, and over 30 million Texans

[wanton flower]

also i think public state schools should cater to in-state students

if you want to go oos go to a private school or have a good enough application to get in

[unkempt compass]

90% admissions legally have to be in state right?

[wanton flower]

yes

[unkempt compass]

that number is bigger for ut austin than a lot of other state schools too right?

[wanton flower]

idk, i only know about ut's admission process

[unkempt compass]

fair enough

[wanton flower]

i do believe 90% is fair though

[unkempt compass]

also that's admissions not commits

so

ig it is

i would guess in state has a lower yield than out of state? idk

[wanton flower]

yes ik

[wanton flower]

most likely

the general trend i see (so this is not backed up by anything) is that people who apply oos tend to apply to a lot of schools

wait no sorry i read what you said wrong

i think in-state has a higher yield

most ppl i know from my in-state school who got into ut are committed or waiting on reach schools like mit but are probably going to commit

[unkempt compass]

i see

[unkempt compass]

makes sense ig

cause they wouldn't be considering other state schools

well, i know someone who lived in texas then went to uiuc

but mostly ig that stands

[wanton flower]

i know about six people who got into ut, and all are either already committed or waiting for mit/stanford before they commit

@unkempt compass i pulled up ut's 2023 cds and did the math, in-state has a yield rate of 51% and oos has a yield rate of 33%

intl has a rate of 42% compared to oos's 33% which is interesting

[unkempt compass]

damn

[unkempt compass]

i think it makes perfect sense tbh

oos non-intl is likely to be giving their own state schools heavy consideration

intls obviously can't do that

[wanton flower]

that's true

[wanton cradle]

Hi

Any intl got in?

[wanton flower]

some on the reddit

[graceful moon]

@queen night are you actually considering ut take the world by horns now over Harvard?

[unkempt compass]

Did you guys get emails when your decisions came out?

[brave bay]

i got one that said "update made in your portal in the last 24 hours"

[wanton flower]

yes

are you still waiting on your decision?

[unkempt compass]

ok so i don't need to look at my portal constantly

[unkempt compass]

Yep

Long story

[wanton flower]

ohwait i remember

since you had an issue i think yours may take a while

[knotty ocean]

im actually depressed

like my next best option is uiuc now that i got cooked at ut

i dont wanna live in the fucking cornfields though

😭

like i know ut was a crapshoot but ut so goated i cant help but meatride still

[unkempt compass]

what major?

[knotty ocean]

mechanical

[tawny meadow]

u got uiuc...

[unkempt compass]

wait same

still waiting on ut rn lol

my result isnt out yet

[knotty ocean]

no but i'll prolly get my 2nd major atleast

i didnt apply mechanical i applied engineering undeclared

my 2nd major is mat sci it has a 50% ar

[tawny meadow]

did u not get ur acceptance letter

[knotty ocean]

no i mean

[tawny meadow]

it is out for me

[knotty ocean]

i applied rd

[tawny meadow]

ohhhh

i see

[unkempt compass]

i don't know when my thing will come out because there was a form i needed to fill which they didn't email me for and i didn't notice it until the 7th

[tawny meadow]

did it say

complete for early action

in ur portal

[unkempt compass]

No

[tawny meadow]

which form??

srar type thing?

[unkempt compass]

@tawny meadow I did RD bro, RD decisions are coming out now

[tawny meadow]

ohhh okay

[unkempt compass]

you can probably find the ss of it somewhere in the UT thread

[tawny meadow]

nvm then

[unkempt compass]

Nobody else has ever mentioned the form in this server before now

it's called minimum coursework deficiency form

[tawny meadow]

im the most laziest person

[tawny meadow]

is it cuz u do A levels or what

why didnt i get that

[unkempt compass]

It's because I only had two social science credits

Which is normal because I do a levels

[dapper nacelle]

does anyone know how the housing situation work? I’m super confused rn about it

[daring coral]

Yeaa

[wanton cradle]

What for

[tidal meteor]

me for cs

[wanton cradle]

Crazy

What were ur stats

[daring coral]

Unspecified business

[vestal scaffold]

Time to say goodbye to this thread.

[distant summit]

when will honors drop

[maiden aurora]

I’ve heard March 1st idk what that’s based on tho

[storm sequoia]

People say its rolling till march first

[tribal fractal]

Can you still apply for honors?

[storm sequoia]

I dont think so?

[tribal fractal]

I forgot to apply. I don't think there are too many benefits though of being in right?

[storm sequoia]

Depends on the honors i saw

Say

Also housing

[maiden aurora]

If you’re engineering honors it’s a pretty significant scholarship

[halcyon scaffold]

yeah for cs, its weird though cuz i didnt get uiuc cs

[tribal fractal]

Liberal arts hnrs is not worth it from what I've heard

[icy raft]

you apply for housing first and pay the deposit

sometime in early summer they will send out housing contracts

and that's when you pick your actual dorm and room

[wanton flower]

cg! do you want to join the class of 2029 server?

also anyone else who got in dm me and i'll send an invite

[tulip veldt]

people usually apply to a bunch of schools right

lowkey I only applied to ut austin and ut dallas

i got into comp sci for both

in hindsight mightve been risky

I'm like 14th out of 600 or something

1440 sat

i dont know how stats work

[storm sequoia]

It depends

Somepeople just shotgun

[tulip veldt]

i assume thats applying to like

10 schools

Applying to a lot

I applied to 30 😭

[tulip veldt]

[storm sequoia]

[storm sequoia]

Yes

[tulip veldt]

yes i am that then

ut austin will regret accepting me into cs

easy

[storm sequoia]

Look at data sets for ut austin past years

[gilded copper]

ur single handedly gonna tank their reputation

[tulip veldt]

well i couldnt find any for cs

[storm sequoia]

Then you can determine if ur stats are normal

[storm sequoia]

Really?

[tulip veldt]

i didnt look very hard

[storm sequoia]

Did it drop?

Ayy congrats

[night frost]

honors came for some people but only like the ones w business

bhp csb stuff

idk any turing ppl

[abstract edge]

why would anyone decline the offer no?

like you can accept the offer and still not commit right

[gilded copper]

to give their spot to me

[wanton flower]

it might be over for you gang 😞

what major did you apply for

they said they dont think very many people will get off the waitlist

if any do at all

[gilded copper]

Ece...

So yes

[hushed halo]

is this confirmed?

[knotty ocean]

i would just accept a&m as my lord and savior atp

[tame jetty]

Does having the housing portal still mean you got in

Ah I saw that it’s a says not have an adequate assurance level

Rejection?

But the decision hasn’t came out

[storm sequoia]

No idea

[storm sequoia]

Have you called?

[cedar barn]

[gilded copper]

One can hope

[hazy oriole]

I didn't get one.

Congrats!

[wanton flower]

which one?

[wanton flower]

are you still waiting?

[hazy oriole]

For housing email

[midnight owl]

Is being denied from EHP mean anything for my ECE hons? It still shows in review.

[wanton flower]

i meant for your decision

[hazy oriole]

No I got it.

[abstract edge]

Tysm

[unkempt compass]
