UT Austin (2024-2025)

[storm sequoia]

Turing is out

[elfin trench]

fr? mine is still in review

[storm sequoia]

Look in the class of 29 discord

[storm sequoia]

I HOPE THEY ARE GOING TO DO ANOTHER WAVE

[elfin trench]

omw

[elfin trench]

nah coz was it jus that one dude who got in 🙏

[storm sequoia]

There was another one in discord

Not discord reddit 😭

[storm sequoia]

THERE’S HOPE FOR US!!!!

[elfin trench]

ok 🔥

[unkempt compass]

i aint even got my main decision yet 💔

[storm sequoia]

We should check again on the 24

[elfin trench]

😭

[storm sequoia]

That’s when ppl who haven’t gotten a desions should get one

[distant summit]

review

[storm sequoia]

same

[rustic hound]

same

[graceful moon]

when was the last time ut honors came out?

[shrewd fractal]

i laughed

[hazy oriole]

I NEVER GOT THAT 😭

Actually never mind.

I got that in November.

[wanton flower]

they sent me 3 of those

[shrewd fractal]

some things i found

[hazy oriole]

😂

[fair iron]

ECB or Gtech

[muted loom]

gtech

totally not biased

Okay wait

I have to be loyal to ut too though

Cause ut accepted me too

But I like gtech over ut

Because I'm biased

Okay but real talk both are good schools it would come down to price and personal preference

I know nothing about ecb though so maybe that's really prestigious

[rough chasm]

i was rejected RD

but apparently turing wanted to accept me

wth is college admissions man

should I write detailed academic updates because the email said I should apply for waitlist

like if the regular admissions committee looks through it again instead of the people who actually know CS I'm probably cooked... since my writing sucks tbh

[storm sequoia]

Woah how do you know?

[regal helm]

Hey can you dm me it as well

[storm sequoia]

Ues

[unkempt compass]

welp

ig im not joining the co29 dc

ima see myself out of this thread

[wanton flower]

sorry man 😞

you will be mist

[undone shoal]

this happened to my friend asw

OOS

[wintry sail]

mega html embed fail

[hazy oriole]

There's a Discord?

Where's it at?

Do you have to be 100% committed to join?

I'm 95%, just waiting on impossible reaches.

[unkempt compass]

someone here has been sending out invites in dms

and i believe you need to be admitted, not committed

[unkempt compass]

also please stop pinging me here gang 😭

ive had to unfollow this thread like 3 times now

[hazy oriole]

Sorry 😭

[hazy oriole]

If you're this person please send me the invite!

[shrewd fractal]

im not hte person but i can send u it

[hazy oriole]

Yes please!

Do we need to change to our real names?

[shrewd fractal]

dont think so

[opaque briar]

-cope

[gilded copper]

Condolences

[azure harness]

can I get the link as well?

[shrewd fractal]

sure one second

[knotty ocean]

why is the sat math avg so low

actually in-states must be cooked if their acceptance rate is 12% and the math avg is 738

[wispy badge]

shots fired

[carmine shale]

SAT is not everything

[knotty ocean]

have u ever seen a school with a 12% ar that also has a 1450 sat avg

[carmine shale]

probably some LAC

[knotty ocean]

true

like usc has dumb rich kids trying to cheat on the sat and their sat avg still 1510

wtf is going on in texas

[spice barn]

this is insane

[wooden topaz]

yeh but math is for eng 💀

[tribal fractal]

what was oos acceptance rate

[knotty ocean]

im estimating 3%

cuz the ratio between applicants and spots is 3.5x less accounting for yield rate and 10% of the spots are oos

[tribal fractal]

for engineering or overall?

overall would be <10% you think?

That's crazy

[feral herald]

738 is like 90th percentile tf do you mean

not everyone has been given the same privileges as you

and 740 is incredibly high

[spice barn]

740 for engg is not really high tho

[feral herald]

thats like me calling you dumb for not getting an 800 on the reading section bc you speak the language

[spice barn]

for smt like UT austin

a top t10 engg school

[feral herald]

skill issue

i got an 800 idk what your flex is

[spice barn]

he's not flexing tho

[wooden topaz]

740

💀

[feral herald]

well yes it is but ok

i feel like some of you would cry and throw up if you met a genuinely average high schooler

[wooden topaz]

wdym

[feral herald]

because standardized tests arent indicative of ability

[wooden topaz]

wht 💀

[spice barn]

wut 💀

[feral herald]

the vast majority of people cannot get a 750 on any section of the sat with ease

[modest pawn]

why is this such a mind blowing concept to people

[spice barn]

and idt they should be admitted to UT austin ngl

[modest pawn]

this is insane

[wooden topaz]

reading still makes sense

[feral herald]

because theyve been raised in a bubble and dont know what its like for most high schoolers who go to schools where they havent been set up to succeed their entire life

[toxic steppe]

me when people don’t have access to quality education

and then get made fun of for that

it’s disgusting

[spice barn]

you can visit khan academy for free and get a 800

[toxic steppe]

khan academy can’t help with foundations. if someone was never properly taught alg1 that can mess them up for the rest of their lives

[storm sequoia]

When standard testing was made for racist reasons 😭

[modest pawn]

randomly

[spice barn]

khan has courses for calc 1 lol

yea

[feral herald]

spend a day in a rural school and get back to me my g

[storm sequoia]

Systemic racism and lack of reascourse can truly play a part in someones education

It does

[toxic steppe]

i don’t disagree!

[wispy badge]

theyre just a measure of test taking skills

tbf

[spice barn]

I went to a school in a tier 3 city in india for 10 years

and still got a 1570

I don't get it

so I don't see your point

[wispy badge]

bro ur skl is better than cmu scs

fym tier 3

guys its just a test it aint that deep

[feral herald]

saying you dont get it because you didnt have the same experience as another person from a rural area is very dismissive but ok

[wispy badge]

fucking spam that shi nd u can superscore like +200 by doing nun

[spice barn]

💀

[spice barn]

unironically cope ngl

[wooden topaz]

tier 3 is legit rural area but okay

[feral herald]

im also from a rural area i know what it is

[wispy badge]

EASTERN UP 🔥 🗣️ 🗿

[feral herald]

there are so many studies that show sat performance isnt indicative of intelligence

[wooden topaz]

cooked

[wispy badge]

GUYZZZ I AM FRUM RURAL AREA I OWN 100 ACRES OF LAND AND 100,000 USD A YEAR FROM SELLING CORN

[knotty ocean]

idt u can understand how cooked a tier 3 city in india is until u visit india

[wispy badge]

I AM SO POOR RIGHT

[feral herald]

i dont need to cope i got a 1550 and i go to usc but i have the critical thinking skills to realize that just because i did will on a test doesnt mean other people from my backgrouond will

[wooden topaz]

okay and there are so many studies saying its indicative 💀

[spice barn]

exactly

[feral herald]

give me one

PSU 🐐

I LOVE PSU ALL MY HOMIES LOVE PSU

[feral herald]

im not arguing with you about this anymore, you can have fun realizing that nobody gives a shit about what you scored on the math section of the sat when you actually go to college and are struggling to get through your freshman year writing course because youve been trained to take multiple choice standardized tests your whole life

[wispy badge]

this is true

unironically though

ppl in my skl get way better grades than me but still sometimes struggle with their sats on their first try

the sat just shows how good u are at sat

nothing more

so real

[wooden topaz]

https://home.dartmouth.edu/sites/home/files/2024-02/sat-undergrad-admissions.pdf

[wispy badge]

i hadnt done tests period until 7th grade

[wooden topaz]

?myp doesnt have

[feral herald]

my guy did you read this

its saying that students from underserved communities dont perform as well on the sat

[wispy badge]

choose all options out of i,ii,iii that apply

a. none of the above
b. i
c. ii
d. iii
e. i & ii
f. ii & iii
g. i & iii
h. all of the above

[feral herald]

so then it shouldnt be a flex that you did well on an american exam designed for american students who go to cooked american schools

[wispy badge]

real

[wispy badge]

lowkey u can be genius

by practicing these kinda questions

[flat rampart]

i did not understand this

how is that cause and effect

[wispy badge]

wtf is a tmua

o some bri'ish exam

[flat rampart]

are u american?

[feral herald]

the method of test taking has nothing to do with the content of the test

i would be able to take the mcat even though its multiple choice because i dont know the content of it well

[flat rampart]

they found out that we put answer choice C when we dont know 🙈

[feral herald]

im sorry that you need to rely on your standardized test scores to boost your self-esteem but idk maybe just cope with the fact that nobody in the real world truly cares

[spice barn]

insane cope considering spacex literally asks for your SAT scores

and many quant firms too

[storm sequoia]

Spacex😭

[wispy badge]

!quant

[patent bough]

Ding!

Looks like someone's brought up quant again!

I think it’d be better if you analyzed some grass instead.

Used 1830 times.

[feral herald]

if you want to work for spacex you shuold be put down like a dog idk

[spice barn]

what ?

[feral herald]

womp womp womp owmp womp

here you are applying to american schools

[wispy badge]

lowkey these emojis r so fun

[feral herald]

talkign about how americans are dumb

maybe get a life? idk

[wispy badge]

ISRO better than spacex

ngl

[storm sequoia]

Have you seen what space x is doing to the towns they lanuch from 😭😭

[spice barn]

wom womp womp womp SAT sucks
wait why do colleges still use the SAT ??????

🤔

[storm sequoia]

Ily my company towns 😝

[wooden topaz]

my guy u asked me to give a study which is indicative of intelligence

[feral herald]

i dont give a shit, i couldnt give less of a shit, maybe develop the ability to think critically and not put down other people to make yourself feel better about the fact that you filled in bubbles correctly

[wooden topaz]

i gave u that

[feral herald]

and it says that students from underserved populations are more likely to score worse on the sat

im not arguing anymore

i frankly dont give a shit

[storm sequoia]

Ur my favorite troll

[wooden topaz]

ur point was it wasn't indicative of intelligence?

[wispy badge]

umm thats gslv

[feral herald]

and its not! you just dont listen

[wispy badge]

ok pslv then

pslv goat

[spice barn]

I could not give a shit
still keeps arguing

insane double think

😭

[feral herald]

people are saying things and im replying

[spice barn]

which means you care

enough to reply

[feral herald]

you can cope all you want but it will not change the fact that your sat score does not make you any less insufferable of a person. have fun trying to talk to actual normal people in college

[spice barn]

this is as bad as saying your SAT score does not matter

😭

[storm sequoia]

Bc college admissions are holistic

[wooden topaz]

i think hes trying to say how r u gonna survive eng math when SAT math is difficult

[storm sequoia]

Oh

[wispy badge]

doesnt have hydrogen engines 🥱

[spice barn]

^^^

how you gonna survive calc 3

with 600 math

[flat rampart]

azerty

are u american

what do u identify as

[knotty ocean]

no

[wispy badge]

he identifies as dumbeel

[flat rampart]

im speaking in terms of ethnicity

[fair iron]

is anyone else lookin for a roomate perchance

[flat rampart]

but good to know that ur a furry

[wispy badge]

dumbeel nadoo

[fair iron]

im tryna find a good site to meet rmts

[jolly quest]

this thread is making me more and more glad UT didnt want me

[spice barn]

wait he got baned

[jolly quest]

LMAO

but why didnt they delete the msg 😭

[flat rampart]

his wish was a2cs demand

[keen blaze]

fr

[halcyon scaffold]

hella ragebaiters here💀

[keen blaze]

fr

[midnight owl]

Has ece hons come out so far? Anyone got in?

[tired copper]

was UT test mandatory this year

or is that for next year

[storm sequoia]

This tear

Year

[tired copper]

its test mandatory for the next few years right

[storm sequoia]

Yes

[tired copper]

that might work in my favor 😭

thanks

[storm sequoia]

I think it worked in mines

Npp

[keen blaze]

It is what it is

[worn gorge]

Top ten craziest crashouts?

[shrewd fractal]

real

[storm sequoia]

That was such a crazy crashout

[jolly quest]

what happened

[copper juniper]

nothing!

[jolly quest]

yay

[shrewd fractal]

there is no war in ba sing se

[storm sequoia]

Nothing happened

Nothing ever happens in a2c

[jolly quest]

im getting mangogang flashbacks

[wanton flower]

what happened to mangogang

he just disappeared one day

i miss him

[ruby holly]

it depends on the whole application

[keen blaze]

Fr UT is holllistic lmao

[ruby holly]

also most top schools sat avg have been inflated recently bc of test optional

[keen blaze]

exactly

[wanton flower]

multiple people in the top 10 of my school got rejected from ut engineering and i'm in-state

there isn't one factor on your application that can accurately weigh how intelligent you are

[keen blaze]

exactly

[jolly quest]

he had the greatest crashout A2C had ever seen

[jolly quest]

same, our valedictorian and our rank 3 (who got into MIT for aero 😭 ) didnt get their major or second choice major

[hazy oriole]

He should go to MIT.

[worn gorge]

Sporting Director.

[hazy oriole]

Playco.

[novel thunder]

that's actually insane 😭

UT was so easy when i got in (graduated hs in 2020... )

high sat score (like 1550+) + top 6% was auto admit to ece pretty much 😅 (as an ece major with no hs ec's)

[gilded copper]

There's this guy at my school who got into MIT also

Got capped ut

LMAO

[icy raft]

this is kinda crazy

[novel thunder]

this was the 75th percentile back in 2020 when UT was still t10 engineering (well not exactly but very close imo...)

from https://utexas.app.box.com/s/0q96nlhe3qry51rn0upfl64uoqkygkj6

[icy raft]

i mean the sat average sounds about right

if they're talking about the average across all majors

[novel thunder]

oh ngl the statistics up there is prob just cockrell engineering 😭 i don't have a stat for that

[icy raft]

oh nvm im blind

[novel thunder]

i just noticed from the applicant numbers

[icy raft]

it says it's cockrell only

that's a bit lower than i thought it would be then

math too

[novel thunder]

unfortunately...

[icy raft]

11.2% acceptance rate 😭

[novel thunder]

would prob be lower if cs was included in engineering

but i doubt it would be that much lower

[icy raft]

oh absolutely

thank god they're not a part of engineering 💀

their building smells like ass

[novel thunder]

💀

gdc moment

gatekeeping the EER 🙏

iirc engineering can get into the gdc past 7 (if u wanted to...) but cs can't get into the EER past 7

[icy raft]

oh we're absolutely gatekeeping the eer

it's gotten too crowded this year anyway

[novel thunder]

tbf it's always been crowded

[icy raft]

i feel like not as much as this year

it's almost impossible to find a table most of the time

[icy raft]

damn really

have you been to the gdc basement

[novel thunder]

i have 💀

[icy raft]

is it actually that bad

i havent

[novel thunder]

i mean imo not really but maybe my sense of smell is cooked

[icy raft]

also what major are you

[novel thunder]

im ece (software design track)

the one everyone does

[icy raft]

oh fuck

im also ece

[novel thunder]

did u already decide what track you're going to do

feel like it's around that time of the 4 years for you...

[icy raft]

yeah im doing comp arch and embedded

[novel thunder]

i see i see

i did the path of least resistance which meant i basically took 0 hard ce classes 💀

like no comp arch/os/distributed

[gilded copper]

I mog the average sat score

But I get mogged on gpa

[icy raft]

bro im in comp arch right now and i want to kms

[novel thunder]

[storm sequoia]

Wait how bad is cs 😭

[novel thunder]

get ready to experience an abominable stench 🙏

[storm sequoia]

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

[icy raft]

it kinda smells like burning rubber with a mix of staleness and sweat

[storm sequoia]

Oh

[jolly quest]

i like to think ppl in compE are more sophisticated than CS majors but i have no proof of this

at least i dont think I smell bad lmao

[tired copper]

are life sciences at UT as competitive

i only hear people talking about engineering/business

[jolly quest]

thats bio right

[tired copper]

yeah

[jolly quest]

i dont think its very competeive,

everyone i know at my school that is a bio major got in

[tired copper]

neat 🙏 😭

im not a autoadmit though

[jolly quest]

r u instate tho

[tired copper]

yeah

my sats 75th percentile ut this year around

[jolly quest]

arent you a junior? i didnt think ur 6th semester rank would be out by now

[tired copper]

im not top 5%

theres no way everyone dropped that hard

ranking wise im like 11%

[jolly quest]

yeah but my rank for college stuff didnt come out until like summer bc junior year wasnt over till then

[tired copper]

our school ranks every semester

[jolly quest]

but like if you lock in this semester do you have the chance on being top 5%

[tired copper]

the difference between top5% at our school

and top 10% is really big

[jolly quest]

wdym

[tired copper]

alot of the top5% people did ap classes ahead of time

like freshmen taking stats and stuf

[jolly quest]

oh ok

[tired copper]

does instate even do that much

compared to oos

[jolly quest]

bro what are you talking about

of course it does

ut legally has to accept 90% of its students from in state

plus if ur doing bio u should be fine if ur ecs are good even if ur not auto

[shrewd fractal]

email they sent us btw

[tired copper]

i have bio senior year

[tired copper]

15% and 10% basically then

with instate priotized though

so i guess its possible

[wanton flower]

every major at ut except for cola, education, and like communication is competitive

ik people at my school who didn't get in for bio

[jolly quest]

I meant compared to like engineering and cs

[wanton flower]

one of them was an auto admit

[wanton flower]

aha

[jolly quest]

And yeah I'm going off my school bc I haven't done any research into bio itself at ut

[night frost]

Yall think there’s another Turing wave or nah

[storm sequoia]

I hope

Pls let there be

[night frost]

I mean as long as it doesn’t say denied there’s hope

(Coping)

[storm sequoia]

True

I think there will be someone from the server is being considered

[placid quail]

💔

thank god i did informatics then

im OOS

[novel thunder]

idk what u mean by sophisticated... if u mean like more clean then yea probably

[keen blaze]

He's rage baiting

don'

pay attention to him

that is not a "low" score

[tribal fractal]

What is the jefferson scholars program. Is it worth it?

[distant summit]

eveyone got it

it looks like a bunch of wasteman activities cro

Officiall y being considered for Turing

[elfin trench]

?

[rustic hound]

You got turing??

[distant summit]

they said they wanted more information about one of my projects

[rustic hound]

Ooooo okay :))

[graceful moon]

through email?

[wanton flower]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1269740336628895744/1275847465412722749/melonNuke.gif

[distant summit]

yh

[astral vale]

yay orz...

will u be in person?

[astral vale]

im in the same boat lmfao

🫂

its pretty silly but it is what it is 😭

[distant summit]

wdym

[astral vale]

Will u go to the in person event

[distant summit]

havent been admitted yet

[astral vale]

ohh i see

[storm sequoia]

Did they reverse their decision?

[astral vale]

wdym

i got deferred and then rejected from UT

[storm sequoia]

OHHHHH

so are you on the waitlist now?

[astral vale]

Yes

i can attend the turing virtual/inperson events

but i am not admitted in any way

I am not really sure if i should go to the in person events

[storm sequoia]

Oh wow that’s crazy

[astral vale]

cause i mean we would need 4 plane tickets

and i dont know how likely itis to get in

😂

[storm sequoia]

😭😭

[astral vale]

so i have taken it as a hard rejection but my family is ok with me going so i might as well go to meet some ppl yk

[storm sequoia]

Yeah

[astral vale]

yeah :/

i am fine with being denied admission but it is weird that my app was even considered for turing if im a UT reject

ah well

tis what it is

😂

[storm sequoia]

I guess they review all that apply

[astral vale]

I guess so

[storm sequoia]

gl in ur other apps

[astral vale]

Thanks

❤️

[storm sequoia]

Where else did you apply?

[astral vale]

most of the other top publics for cs and some other private t20s

[storm sequoia]

Ahh glll

[astral vale]

thank u :]

but being completely fr, i would totally take UT Turing over everything on my list except maybe MIT / pton XD

longhorns

[storm sequoia]

Real 😔

I hope you get in the end or you end up at a even better school

[astral vale]

haha thanks ur so nice

dw im fine tho, i have UMD for in state which is pretty pog

its mostly just funny (but a lil disappointing) that this weird situation has happened XD

i appreciate the kind words tho <3, r u going to be at UT?

[storm sequoia]

Ayeeee

Depending on how the rest of rd goes it looks like it

[astral vale]

I see

well then gl to you too!

[storm sequoia]

Thanks!!!

[distant summit]

wait, you can attend even if ur not admitted into turing yet?

[graceful moon]

Is Turings out by March 1?

[hazy oriole]

If you're admitted to McCombs, reply to this message.

[astral vale]

You can attend if you are not admitted to UT

[distant summit]

does anyone know if you can do the CAP portal without comitting

asking for friend

[midnight owl]

Any update on ece hons so far?

[icy raft]

@novel thunder updates i think i bombed comp arch

[novel thunder]

💀

cooked fr

easy way out is the play fr

[storm sequoia]

Did you get turing

[distant summit]

no update

:(

[storm sequoia]

Oh my portal says rejected 😭

[distant summit]

L

[astral vale]

😭

[storm sequoia]

😭

They missing out frfr

[distant summit]

bro i got edged

[astral vale]

😭 🫂 im sorry about that

[night frost]

Wait that’s fucked

Cause didn’t they email u specifically too 😭

Just evil

[storm sequoia]

Did you get it?

[night frost]

nah denied

[storm sequoia]

Twin

[full slate]

anyone doing CAP?

[distant summit]

yeah lmao

i’m crashing out

[astral vale]

🫂

[novel thunder]

don't do cap 😭

[full slate]

?

why not

[novel thunder]

oh maybe i should clarify, i don't think cap is worth because it only lets you get CoLA, ofc if you were planning on doing like pre-med or something it's fine. if u wanted to do something that's not CoLA, transferring majors is incredibly hard (especially to popular majors...)

[full slate]

im doing econ so cap is lowkey a blessing

🙏🙏🙏

if anyone is going to UTA for cap DM ME

[novel thunder]

oic fire

[full slate]

i have the class rank requirement texas has

🙁🙁🙁

my schools cutoff for top 6%/top 10% is insane

[novel thunder]

isn't it top 5% now

i was on the edge of top 6% when i applied way back when

[storm sequoia]

Yeah they are making it so hard for the next gen

but i didnt even make the cut off for this gen

[novel thunder]

😭

i think i got a little lucky

because we had some zoning happen that had us gain like 50 students and that was enough for me to go from like 6.2% to 6%

[gilded copper]

next app cycle itll be 5%

[novel thunder]

i see i see that makes sense

i remember 6% was announced during my junior year

[astral vale]

o na

[novel thunder]

[gilded copper]

well ggs anyway

~1% chance i get off waitlist

[astral vale]

for UT?

[gilded copper]

yeah

[astral vale]

me too 😭

[gilded copper]

good luck

[astral vale]

u 2

[gilded copper]

we will see

[astral vale]

Yeahhhh

ugh

hope they get back to u

[storm sequoia]

Yall got this

[tired copper]

why is every post with ut and anm them dissing each other

everybody i know who goes to both schools are like bud buds

Is this just a social media thing

[storm sequoia]

The school rivaly

[icy raft]

lowkey yeah

[novel thunder]

i think it's just funny

i lowkey be dissing tamu for fun

[full slate]

next year

[distant summit]

lmao i wasn’t even top 10%

prolly barely top 20%

[storm sequoia]

Same

[graceful moon]

honestly ut will just remove auto admit soon

its the only thing holding them back from climbing the rankings

[novel thunder]

only way they do this is if the texas government relents

with the 90% of incoming freshman class forced to be in-state

idt the rankings are that serious tho

[outer badger]

Lowkey doubt they care about moving up the rankings tbh

[storm sequoia]

They alr have a good ranking

[outer badger]

Yep

[feral herald]

there would have to be a lot of legislation changes within the state goverrnment for this to happen

and it likely never will because 1. its a public school that exists to serve texas students and 2. the legislation would never pass anyways any state rep that votes to remove auto admission will not be reelected

[distant summit]

idts rly

number 1 doesn’t have anything to do with the autoadmit thing

[knotty ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/me-and-bro-celebrating-best-friends-squid-game-2-my-guy-gif-8389215730122450876

gambling addicts finding out about ut admissions

[distant summit]

and number 2 is that autoadmit is increasingly seen as a scam bc it doesn’t guarantee major

[distant summit]

no it’s the 75% auto requirement

the 90% thing is just for TX students

[novel thunder]

they still work towards the same end goal

[distant summit]

well yeah but removing auto admit means removing the 75

[knotty ocean]

bro

texas population growth is insane

after a certain point it'll become like top 1%

that's a few decades off though

[distant summit]

yeah it’s straight up not sustainable

imo TX should reduce the 90% just because of the whole TX bubble effect

but that’s separate

[novel thunder]

auto admit itself is meaningless without the major admission

[knotty ocean]

are you texan

[distant summit]

yeah

[knotty ocean]

@distant summit

[distant summit]

i’m instate

[knotty ocean]

alr just curious

[novel thunder]

I agree that it's flawed

[storm sequoia]

True unless you want a cola major

[distant summit]

even with cola

[novel thunder]

premeds rejoice

[distant summit]

cap is also guarantee

so auto is legit meaningless lol

[knotty ocean]

dont they have to fill up 75% of each class with autoadmits regardless of major

like cockrell doesnt have autoadmit but 75% of the admits need to be autoadmits to the whole school

[distant summit]

one of the biggest turnoffs about TAMU for me was how much of a TX bubble it felt like

[distant summit]

yeah and that requirement will be unsustainable in the future

[novel thunder]

tamu's etam is my biggest turnoff

[knotty ocean]

etam is impossible ngl

3.75 for mech

is insane

[distant summit]

etam is pretty easy imo

the 3.75 is only in intro calc and physics

[knotty ocean]

idk how hard a 3.75 is at a&m

but purdue's standards are way lower

for their fye program

[distant summit]

i know some of the classes are graded as weed outs but it’s not that hard to team

ETAM

[storm sequoia]

What’s etam?

[distant summit]

doesn’t affect me since i’m NMS

[knotty ocean]

they should just lower the acceptance rate

tbh

[storm sequoia]

I might be going to tamu so i should know this

[knotty ocean]

would help the ranking asw

[distant summit]

why

[knotty ocean]

i thought non texans were common at tamu

cuz it's not very hard for oos

and intl

[storm sequoia]

Full ride

And im lwk scared of ut aid

[novel thunder]

sure but i'd rather the major be guaranteed than have to do etam still

[novel thunder]

etam is basically like the first year you're major-less and you need a certain gpa to lock in your major of choice (the gpa requirement depends on the major). imo it's a waste of a year bc ur just doing general classes/gen eds and the lack of a guarantee is rough imo

[storm sequoia]

Ohhhh

[novel thunder]

at least this is my understanding of etam ^ I stopped caring about tamu once i got my ut admission

[storm sequoia]

😭

[gilded copper]

I just realized

I dreamed about getting waitlisted from ut a month or so ago

And here I am

On the wait list

[novel thunder]

😭

there was no notion of a waitlsit when i applied

[gilded copper]

Yeah I was confused cause I knew ut didn't do waitlist

Now I know

[storm sequoia]

Just aplies?

[novel thunder]

iirc it was just accept/cap/reject

ik there was like pace as well or other "second chance" programs but i just bundle it

[storm sequoia]

Oh

Oh you’ve graduated

[novel thunder]

alumnus fr

[gilded copper]

I would love the take the world by the horns

And go to Korea or smth

[pseudo gulch]

Does anyone know how aid offers work for UT?- specifically is it part of the original letter saying your accepted or if that’s a separate thing?

Basically I should qualify for some tuition aid but I dunno how much.

[hybrid lava]

what are y'alls thoughts on the university of texas at dallas 💯💯💯💯

[tired copper]

good option if full ride (1500+ sat)

[graceful moon]

Did anyone get this email? For cns scholarship

[quick summit]

i did

[wanton flower]

no 💔

how much did you guys get

[ruby holly]

did you apply for it in the scholarship portal?

[storm sequoia]

Everyone who gets in to natural science gets considered for it

[graceful moon]

$10k

[graceful moon]

Yes

[tribal fractal]

do we still apply for housing if not 100% committed?

[wanton flower]

yes

if you havent applied for housing yet you might be out of luck

[tribal fractal]

I thought some contracts come in april right?

you sure it's late?

[wanton flower]

contracts go to committed students

the deposit is a different thing

most people have already paid the deposit if they are seriously considering ut

[jolly quest]

yeah, i did the housing application right after the college app

in like october

too bad UT doesnt like me 😭

[distant summit]

wait does off-campus housing have anything to do with this

like for off-campus all we gotta do is find a lease right

[wanton flower]

no

[wanton flower]

financial aid offers are coming out in waves so check your portal

they sent me mine without emailing me abt it

[distant summit]

woa

[graceful moon]

does this mean they never got fafsa?

[fresh cape]

no thats the fafsa for 24-25 so you dont need it

as long as u filled out 25-26

[graceful moon]

Okay

[tidal meteor]

anyone else accepted/currently at UT from India?

[hazy oriole]

I know someone from India accepted to UT for SDS.

[distant summit]

some (low-quality) data from the r/utadmissions subreddit

[graceful moon]

def on the higher end for all admits

[tidal meteor]

for the 2nd table, does OOS include Intl stats too?

and also I believe the auto-admits are not guaranteed their major right? even if they apply to CS, Texas can just admit them to the liberal arts school and fulfil their duty in the matter

[distant summit]

yes

[distant summit]

yes

[distant summit]

probably

[tired copper]

thats kind of scary 😭

[ornate wadi]

yeah from india here accepted to SDS

[fresh cape]

dang my score was mad low for cs and i got in thankfully 😭

[distant summit]

I think the stats are skewed high

[paper python]

my gpa kinda low but i got 1600 and good oly placements

can i still get in 😭

[lyric wyvern]

does ut austin provide aid for intl students

if not what is the average cost of attendance for intl

[hazy oriole]

In-state?

[hazy oriole]

Probs not

But I'd ask.

[hazy oriole]

Check OOS tuition and all.

[paper python]

yeah

[hazy oriole]

Top 6% or no?

[wanton flower]

i got a 1600 with a 3.3 uw gpa and i got into biology

[wanton flower]

they said their gpa is low so id assume not

[wanton flower]

if you arent applying for cockrell/cs/mccombs/(insert other competitive major here) and the rest of your app is good (including your essay) you should be fine

[novel thunder]

bio is still a competitive cns major iirc so more weight to you

[paper python]

ofc not thats why im cooked

[paper python]

oh tuff

[gilded copper]

Ur me except biology

I applied ece 💀

[hazy oriole]

Top 10?

[wanton flower]

kinda a personal question, but did you have extenuating life circumstances that caused the lower grades?

i did, and i leaned very heavily into that as well as the upwards trend in my gpa from freshman to junior year writing my extra essay

make sure you take the time to write the extra essay btw

[paper python]

Yeah

[paper python]

Its mostly just me taking the wrong classes and bombing middleschool

[hazy oriole]

Better.

[covert trout]

is the ut fri competitive?

application

[novel thunder]

I'd be cooked if my middle school grades were in my hs transcript

[gilded copper]

ut fri??

[wanton flower]

it was due last night

but i dont think so

[pseudo gulch]

Does it matter when you submit your fiancial portal application? Just realized it opened few days back, and submitted the required documentations...

[distant summit]

ight time to grind turing transfer

[gilded copper]

Time to grind to transfer to ut

[graceful moon]

gl

Idek people transfer into Turings

[viscid hill]

Does anybody know the acceptance rate for internationals at ut?

[novel thunder]

iirc u could transfer into turing after getting an A in comp arch honors

but this is like 5 years old news

[gilded copper]

Bro why

Is take the world by horns

Only admission to liberal arts

[placid quail]

@gilded copper valorant mentioned? ?? ? ?

[covert trout]

LOL yeah i started the app when i sent that message 😭

hope its not too competitive my responese werent that great

[sharp burrow]

is there any reason i might take ut austin over rice

[wanton flower]

mostly financials

[viscid hill]

How good is ut for economics

?

[graceful moon]

What major?

But honestly if it’s undergrad then rice will probably serve you better than public’s like ut

[viscid hill]

Does anybody know what dorms are available other than jester for freshman at ut?

I know there are many options but idk which ones to consider

[sharp burrow]

Ece; but ye im lookin at it and im leaning toward smaller private school based on what ppl r saying ab resources/support

[graceful moon]

I’d go to rice, the smaller private school will fit you nicely

And undergrad engineering is very strong

[gilded copper]

go to rice 🙏

[astral vale]

im committed!!!

[astral vale]

🔥

[covert trout]

ik ppl staying at castilian and kinsolving if u are a girl

jester west isnt bad i can give more details if u want

its pretty in the middle of campus so very accessible but def not the best option u could get

[hushed halo]

Any admitted student GC?

[viscid hill]

What other options do you recommend? (I’m a male)

[covert trout]

the castilian is only for freshman and it's private rooms but shared bathrooms

i'm pretty sure it's more expensive but it looks super nice

[distant summit]

anyone else going 3rd week

jun 9-11 orientation

[icy raft]

duren or san jac if you can afford

other dorms are worse quality than jester imo

maybe except for honors dorms

[astral vale]

Aw rip im next one

[gilded copper]

Any ece admits who got into ivies and are planning to go pls reject offer 🙏

[placid quail]

whats diff between ee and ece

[gilded copper]

To my knowledge it's basically the same major

But ut only offers ece I think

[placid quail]

O

Idk if this helps but I’m rejecting my ut Austin informatics offer

[gilded copper]

It'll help people in the same college ig

[placid quail]

Yeah

Tamu was actually my second offer back ever

Got it like October last year

I was so surprised with their speed lol

[gilded copper]

It was my first

UT Dallas took forever to respond

[placid quail]

Oh fr

I only applied to A&M Austin and rice in Texas lol

[shrewd fractal]

im going session 5

whoops i did not see the below messages

[novel thunder]

yea ut ece is just a combo of both ee and ce, u share the same 6 core classes (302/306, 319k/411, 312/313) and then u choose a specialization inside of ee or ce

[distant summit]

wow i didnt realize UT ECE paralleled the CS course structure

(6 cores + specialization)

[novel thunder]

unfortunately we have way more bullshit tho

like capstone (senior design)

[distant summit]

is it a cockrell requirement

or just an ECE speshulty

[novel thunder]

it's a cockrell requirement

[distant summit]

ah

[novel thunder]

i think it's separated tho (as in meche's work with meche's and not with ece's)

[distant summit]

i've seen a lot of my peers express a desire for CS to be in Cockrell but personally i like it with CNS

[novel thunder]

i think we have some benefits over cs

like no language requirement

eer is the best building on campus

[distant summit]

especially how it's closely integrated with PMA (physics + math + astro + cs + sds)

[novel thunder]

but otherwise cs being in cns is fine

[distant summit]

tbh I don't know what the ideal way of arranging CS would be

[novel thunder]

like me personally i would not do anything with PMA in cs

[distant summit]

some colleges put it with Engineering (UIUC, Texas A&M, Berkeley, etc), some put it with Sciences (UT, Purdue, UW, etc), and some put it with Math (Waterloo)

[distant summit]

i think research/content wise, it would make the most sense with the "mathematical sciences" (math, amath, stats, physics, etc) but from a learning/pedagogical sense it would make more sense with engineering

cant we make the same argument about MechE and EE being applied physics

[novel thunder]

oh sure if ur doing research

im a code monkey so

[distant summit]

or i think fundamentally "engineering" is kinda vertically integrated with science

[novel thunder]

and the systems work im doing rn has no relation to pma (im on a database rn)

[distant summit]

lol

[novel thunder]

so i missed nothing 😎

[distant summit]

🫡

i wonder if there are any schools that house meche/electrical with physics lol

that would be so based

[gilded copper]

i will do anything pls let me off waitlist 🙏

[distant summit]

my ECE friend turned down Penn/CMU for UT 😭

[gilded copper]

💀

Why 💀

Financials I can understand

Icl bro stole my spot

[novel thunder]

turning those down for ut ece 💔

ig if they're doing ee it's fine but ce does not have good high-level class variety

[stoic lake]

Any UT Austin people wanting to room in Kinsolving? I am trying to create a group but don't know anyone going 😭

[gilded copper]

lemme get in first 😭

[gilded copper]

damn

a whole week no msg

[novel thunder]

bro tips for ut austin cs rising senior?

[serene mantle]

lock in on your ec's

as long as ur gpa and sat are solid u should have a good shot

[modern oriole]

is mis or sds easier to get into

and what are my odds if im non auto in state with a 1430 but a 3.9 UW and solid ecs
