[faint path]

What's pmo

oh promote?

[primal terrace]

put me on

lol

[faint path]

there are definitely better schools if you're trying to target quant
but we have roblox recruiting at competitive programming club, and two sigma regularly comes over to the cs career fair and sponsors some student capstone projejcts

[primal terrace]

🔥

tamu's my safety so im just tryna make sure theres good opps there too

[open ruin]

guys

i recieved this in my portal today

ggwp

[primal terrace]

"you've been admitted"
"am i admitted?"
😭

[open ruin]

i couldnt believe my ass got admitted 😭

[primal terrace]

oh yeah btw how is the pure math stuff at TAMU

[faint path]

No idea

[chilly viper]

OH MY GOD

MY TRANSCRIPT HAS FINALLY BEEN LET OUT OF REVIEW

[amber chasm]

good luck man, i havent heard anyone get anything back in 2nd quarter

[faint path]

yeah this place is not worth 60k a year

[chilly viper]

Damn do people from second quarter get accepted or is it auto reject?

[chilly viper]

Do you think TAMU is worth it for anything besides STEM and agriculture?

[faint path]

I heard the business school is also alright, but for undergrad, only stem, business, and agriculture ig

[sweet shuttle]

i fr didnt know ppl even applied OOS to tamu, its such a texas school that I assumed only texans went there

[celest talon]

oh i applied, i love texas

[chilly viper]

bro @open ruin how long did it take you to recieve your offer after you were declared as first quarter?

[open ruin]

whats first quarter

[chilly viper]

like your class rank

on the ais portal

[open ruin]

im international tho

[chilly viper]

they assign a rank to everyone

even im international

[open ruin]

where can i see that

ill check it up

[chilly viper]

the ais portal

[open ruin]

i cant find any rank

[chilly viper]

how long did it take for you to recieve an offer after your transcript was reviewed?

[open ruin]

uhhh

ig all of the documents and stuff

[open ruin]

American moment🦅🦅 🦅

[sweet shuttle]

its if you are choosing to go to A&M i think

yall am i cooked if havent done housing yet

[primal terrace]

tamu keeps sending me acceptance letters

this is my fourth one ive gotten

hop off ‼️

[tranquil quartz]

bro wtf

i have not gotten anything from them

[amber chasm]

tf

when do scholarship results come out

[faint path]

theres one for university, one for college of engineering, where did you get the other 2 💀

[primal terrace]

i have no clue

one of them was for national merit

and one of them was just university again (?)

[open ruin]

u get acceptance letters?

bruh they didnt even send it in the mail

i opened portal after so long and turns out i was admitted

[errant arch]

man

tamu hasnt even said anything abt my application

prolly in the scrap pile

[tranquil quartz]

SAME GANG

[hazy creek]

so if they take a long time to assign class rank and its after dec 15, will i be ineligible?

[vestal raptor]

Anyone else get selected for brown interview? (This IS a humblebrag)

[hazy creek]

when did u apply to TAMU

[vestal raptor]

10/08

[amber chasm]

my friend applied for engineering and said he got an email saying his decision got deferred to regular decision or smt along the lines of that did anyone get that?

[celest talon]

any international student that has gotten their decision so far?

[candid frigate]

i got ea decision yesterday

[open ruin]

i got like 8 days ago

[celest talon]

what major?

[open ruin]

gen eng

[errant arch]

dang

congrats

A & M def dont want me

😭

[open ruin]

nah trust i thought my app was horrendous before i saw this acceptance

[primal terrace]

yo my friend got this for TAMU

what does this mean

[errant arch]

prolly for review?

idk

[faint path]

engineering holistic review

accepted to university, decision on college of engineering is still pending

[primal terrace]

yeah that’s what i was telling him

[faint path]

(but i have never known anyone who got rejected from college of engineering specifically))

[primal terrace]

he’s top 10 good SAT so i think he still has a good shot for Full Admission

but if he were to get a pathway

would he go thru the same ETAM process as c stat gen Eng

[faint path]

yes

same courses, just apply for etam from there

[primal terrace]

kk

so he’s fine lol

[errant arch]

dang second quartile really fuckign me up

[mighty dawn]

i got mine like a month ago, early nov

when does tamu release scholarship info?

[candid frigate]

I already got accepted to gen eng, but is there any way to apply for scholarship?

[jade sequoia]

this

[twin plank]

Is migration certificate equivalent of a high school diploma..I am an international a migration certificate says that I have successfully cleared my grade 12 exams and can join any legitimate higher education institute. I do not have hs diploma never got one

[primal terrace]

which country/pattern of eduction

[twin plank]

India /cbse

[storm forge]

any good scholarships to apply to?

got accepted engineering

[rare lily]

Out of curiosity what is the out of state acceptance rate?

[primal terrace]

pretty high i heard

[rare lily]

Yeah like 60% or smth

Is my guess

[faint path]

College of engineering has a 50% acceptance rate

I can check the in depth data later, there's a university stats site

[errant arch]

oh wow

and i didnt get anything yet

i submitted oct 177

[tranquil quartz]

same bro lmao

we're so cooked

[primal terrace]

iirc if you applied EA for engineering, you're 90% getting a pathway or rejection at this point

[tranquil quartz]

rip

[tranquil quartz]

nah i got put in RD

[errant arch]

oh well

idrc

atp

oh

i didnt apply ea

i missed deadline

cause i didnt get portal in time

[primal terrace]

yeah if it says that you’ve been deferred it will prolly give u a pathway

pathways aren’t bad tho

they’re just first year somewhere

[errant arch]

oh

[primal terrace]

then u etam

[errant arch]

wait

what if im not ea?

i didnt do ea

[primal terrace]

idk it depends

i know if you got deferred from EA ur prolly getting a pathway

either they didn’t have time to read ur app or they deferred you

i applied nov 11 and got in like a week or two later but i think it was bc of nmsf

[faint path]

if youre national merit make us your safety

[tranquil quartz]

I mean like I submitted late and am in rd

Never got an update or anything

[jade sequoia]

is there a tamu discord or community? also, i alr got accepted to gen eng, is there any way to apply for scholarship?

thank you

[open ruin]

there is this university application essay or smthin

also @faint path in tamu's common app there was some scholarship prompts or smthin, is that and this new university scholarship application different

[jade sequoia]

I did send that in (the commonapp scholarship essays), any idea when the decisions for the same come in?

[open ruin]

when i called them, they were like we will look into these essays once they are done with rd stuff

[jade sequoia]

oh okay, thank you so much

[faint path]

No

[open ruin]

oh okay

[jade sequoia]

wait then what is the "new university scholarship application"

is it the one you fill out after you enroll?

[storm forge]

who's going to the LEAD summit

[balmy quail]

very valid

[hazy creek]

when do results come out

[errant arch]

interseting

[tranquil quartz]

yeah we're cooked

😭

[errant arch]

wdym wdym wdym

tell me

im ready to take harsh news

is it a rejection?

[tranquil quartz]

nah

[errant arch]

then

then

[tranquil quartz]

I won't say anything but prolly not good news

Saying anything would be astroloogy

[errant arch]

is it a 2+2

oh

yeah

rite

i mean i did regular for engineering

💀

[tranquil quartz]

same lmao

except for cs 💀

[errant arch]

my app was complete by nov 1st tho

so

[tranquil quartz]

I mean i appplied by oct 15th but i couldn't link my SRAR ion time

so i wasn't considred

for ea

[errant arch]

yeah sam

LOL

if anyone who got a decison got this

has anyone got ts?

[tranquil quartz]

no idea

i did

[errant arch]

u did too

oh

[tranquil quartz]

but i ain't got no decision

[errant arch]

yeah same

[tranquil quartz]

yet*

[errant arch]

i thought it a decsion lowk

cause it said "check your admission decsion"

[tranquil quartz]

yeah lmao same

i logged in fr

[dense skiff]

Someone posted this on reddit

[errant arch]

oh

so 50 50 chance

i can be given a full 4 year

or 2+2

yikes

i dont find 2+2 worth it honestly

[hazy creek]

do you guys know how likely tamu brown scholars is

[faint path]

1 in 3 national merit scholars

[hazy creek]

damnit

[celest talon]

got this too

[primal terrace]

i got this too

basically its what i was saying earlier

they're mostly finished with full offers for TAMU Engineering. if you're still waiting, you're most likely getting a pathway or you applied very late

[glass fractal]

it’s says my app is still incomplete even tho, i’ve submitted everything. it has the ⚠️ on two things (including class rank which my school doesn’t offer), does it say the same for anyone else ? 😭

[errant arch]

oh my

[pine pagoda]

im cooked

[spring kernel]

yeah

i emailed the office a few days back

they said it's chill

[glass fractal]

oh sick, thanks for the confirmation!

[heady fossil]

hi i have a few questions for eng honors

as national merit i got into electrical eng, should i put that instead

cause major only shows blinn and general eng

[faint path]

just put general engineering

i dont think it matters

[heady fossil]

ty

cooked

i dont have a transcript to upload

also are u sure im guaranteed eng honors

[faint path]

@primal terrace it turns out there is more quant people than i thought

[obsidian garnet]

sheesh

do people usually get return offers from big firms

[faint path]

i dont know much about the quant industry tbh

[obsidian garnet]

ah alr

are there any cs majors @ tamu in this chat

[faint path]

im one rn ig

[storm forge]

yuh

[faint path]

apparently people have actually failed engineering holistic

[errant arch]

HUH WHAT RHR CUCK

[dense skiff]

is a change of major not an alternative pathway

[primal terrace]

💀

[errant arch]

bruh

what is going on w college admissions ts year

😭 🙏

[celest talon]

they doing everything but sending my decision

[tranquil quartz]

frr

[errant arch]

fr bruh

😭

bruh

how am i supposed to be part of aggieland

if u aint accepting me gng

😭

[sweet shuttle]

id rather go to UT but the way things are going i might end up in college station 😭

[errant arch]

quit ediging me bruh

[errant arch]

nah fr

bro

idk whats going on ts yr

[sweet shuttle]

i just dont see myself as an aggie

but i guess if i dont get into anything else its the best i got

its still good for engineering tho

[errant arch]

yeah

im engineering

did u get in for A&M?

[sweet shuttle]

yeah

its my fallback

[storm turret]

my mom works there 🤭

[sweet shuttle]

bro if i make it into UT my cousin says shes gonna leverage that to help her get in 😭

cuz she can say she has family at UT

[storm turret]

my mom works at a&m

[errant arch]

oh really

LMFAOO

[dense skiff]

i think engineering is full 👀

[errant arch]

did u get in A&M

[errant arch]

yeah yikes

im not getitng in:skul

💀

[storm turret]

yeah

[storm turret]

yes

[errant arch]

is ur mom admission or some?

or prof

[storm turret]

no research

[errant arch]

oooo

thats fire fire

what field?

[storm turret]

fr

[storm turret]

microbiology

[vestal raptor]

Yeah at least in adult circles in tx I’ve seen it’s considered equal or better to UT in eng

[errant arch]

woah

thats amazing

[storm turret]

yeah she monitors cells

[errant arch]

dang

so ur mom like a scientist

or some

[storm turret]

yes

[errant arch]

basically

nice

does she have phd in it?

or some

[storm turret]

yes

[errant arch]

cause arent most researchers

like phd

yeah

thats nice

[storm turret]

fr

if my uc plans fail then ill just go here 🤷

[errant arch]

yeah

what major r u?

[storm turret]

statistics

stat major

[errant arch]

bruh

is engineering actually

full

💀

[dense skiff]

I think

[errant arch]

oh well

fuck it

hopefully one of the UCs come in clutch

[dense skiff]

u could sneakily change major

and then heopfuly transfer

[errant arch]

nah

[dense skiff]

idk lol

[errant arch]

im hardcore engineering

😭

not switching to anything

im settled on eng

[dense skiff]

LOL engineering or death

[errant arch]

yeah

like idek what i would switch it too

cause like i dont find anythign else worth it

😭

[storm turret]

tbh any engineering department at major schools are cooked by default 🤷

[faint path]

which department

oh i see

which college does she work under

[storm turret]

its somewhere with medicine

like in the healthcare department

[faint path]

college of medicine?

[storm turret]

yes

[faint path]

uh my mom also works there

[storm turret]

👀

[faint path]

which department

[storm turret]

wdym

[faint path]

college of medicine is split into multiple departments

i think each department is on its own floor

[storm turret]

oh

ill admit idk

mom doesn't speak to me about her job much

[faint path]

huh

[rare lily]

I was accepted to the General Engineering major, even though I applied for Aerospace Engineering; what does this mean?

[faint path]

everyone here undergoes entry to a major process

[rare lily]

Oh that makes sense

[vestal raptor]

Speaking on this, do you have any idea of the practical difference of getting my major automatically as national merit? How will it actually affect my freshman year?

[faint path]

if you set up your degree plan right, you can take 300 and 400 level in-major courses without requesting it from your advisor

this is usually only applicable for CS, for example, if you claim APCSA/CSP credit, take intro C++ and discrete math fall, and dsa spring

[vestal raptor]

Ah okay. Other than that is it just skipping an annoying application?

[faint path]

you also won't need to tryhard for a 3.75 freshman gpa

but yeah

[dreamy drum]

guys is the engineering sector also rolling admission?

if ur out of state/not auto

[errant arch]

eng is cooked i believe bro

no more spots left bruh

😭

not even fair

[dreamy drum]

Ya I just saw the previous msgs 😭💔

[errant arch]

cause half of the mfs in my school got into tamu

[dreamy drum]

Wtf Bro

[errant arch]

but wont even go here bruh

[open ruin]

im actually glad i sent ea for it

[errant arch]

they just taking the spots up bruh

[dreamy drum]

I was too lazy to send in October

[errant arch]

like its not even a school they would commit to bruh

😭

and they're taking up the spots

[open ruin]

i was simping over ut austin back then

[errant arch]

i talked to hella pl

[dreamy drum]

I’m from md 😭😭💔💔💔

[open ruin]

so i was like why not send to tamu as well

[errant arch]

im from cali

[open ruin]

and boom

rejected ut accepted tamu 😭

who would have thought

[dreamy drum]

Ayyy congrats

[primal terrace]

i still dont understand people who apply to TAMU oos

💀

i guess tamu for intl is good

[faint path]

there's good value if you're engineering and national merit

[primal terrace]

true

[primal terrace]

oh yeah i forgot the NMF scholly is bigger for OOS students

[dreamy drum]

I am desperate for anything not UMD

[primal terrace]

in state its only like 12k a year iirc

[faint path]

nah its the same amount but it waives oos tuition

[primal terrace]

UMD > TAMU for CS ngl

ohhh

ok

wait yeah thats actually cracked wtf

[dreamy drum]

I’m doing chem e

[primal terrace]

top 10 engg for like 10k a yr

and no etam

and its super easy for nmf

billert is engg honors worth it

3000 words is ludicrous

[faint path]

ok tbh its 10k a year if you want to live off ramen and in a 4-person dorm w/ communal bathroom

i pay 14k a year for 2-person room w/ own bathroom + $1500 dining dollar meal plan

[primal terrace]

ah

ill shill out the extra 4k for a bathroom ngl 🙏

[open ruin]

umd is a great school

[open ruin]

only NMF?

[faint path]

only finalists

[open ruin]

thats sad :(

[faint path]

if you're semifinalist you get a guaranteed presidential scholarship which is worth $2.5k a year (out of the $4k you need to waive the oos tuition)

[open ruin]

ig i wont be getting any scholarships

[primal terrace]

bro its like guaranteeed finalist if u submitted the semifinalist app

[faint path]

semis and finalists also get a $1000 coupon off study abroad if that's something on the plans

[open ruin]

i didnt wrtie any NMSF

or wtever

[open ruin]

i see

[dreamy drum]

Yaa but for me i just want something new, i feel like I know half of ‘29 ☠️

My hs is a feeder

[open ruin]

valid i see

[faint path]

how many people are at umd

[dreamy drum]

Like 40-50k I think?

[faint path]

yeah pretty big

you probably won't recognize them

i don't think i've noticed any of my hs classmates here

despite my hs being in college station

[primal terrace]

yeah tamu is crazy big but it’s also kind of a tx bubble

you’ll find ur people for sure

[faint path]

actually one of my classmates is a competitive programming friend so thats the exception

but thats the only one

[primal terrace]

but like 90% are instate iirc

i do know a lot of friend groups that just continued into TAMU

but again that’s a Choice

[faint path]

my friend group reconvenes on discord

[primal terrace]

and not at all inevitable

a lot of friend groups r split between UT and TAMU i’ve seen

and they all just go to TAMU for the funcs so

[thin bronze]

When does RD come out? My portal checklist was just all ticked yesterday

[storm turret]

march

[thin bronze]

Everyone gets their decision at the same time?

[errant arch]

i got cooked

emg is filled

[thin bronze]

huh

[errant arch]

engineering is filled bro

😭

im not getting

its not even fair

bro

they just hand out spots to students who wouldnt even commit to the school

😭 🙏

[thin bronze]

how'd you know?

I applied eng too

[errant arch]

ive been readign the reddit

people are being offered pathways

instead

of full admit at College station

my friend got offered a pathway too

for engineering

instead of college station

[thin bronze]

That doesn't mean its filled tho

did they clearly state that its filled?

[primal terrace]

on your AIS/howdy portal, there's an option to change majors. if engineering doesnt show up, it's filled

[thin bronze]

I'm already eng so idrk

[errant arch]

ive been seeing ppl post sss of their portals

and it says

"we are unable to offer you a spot at college station due to capacity"

or some

something like this

[thin bronze]

damn

[errant arch]

lemme pull it up

[primal terrace]

There might be a few full offers left, but A&M has officially said they were "finalizing full offers" and "beginning to offer pathways" for Engineering

[errant arch]

oh yeah that too

many people got offered a pathway yesterday

i didnt even get that

💀

[thin bronze]

ea applicants?

[thin bronze]

Wild

[errant arch]

my friend was a ea applicant

i wasnt abel to get my ea applicant in time for engineering

so im rd

so maybe ea?

[thin bronze]

yeah same

[primal terrace]

idt EA/RD rly matters

[errant arch]

i thought if i submit on 15th

[errant arch]

yeah it doesnt

i got the email too

[thin bronze]

idek, kind of bs that they're full this early, or even being CLOSE to full

[errant arch]

saying they are finalizing full decsions

dude

they just offer auto admits to national merits

who wouldnt evne commit

[primal terrace]

not really, Mays fills up in like december

[errant arch]

like a bunch of people

in my school

got into for A&M

but like they have better schools

[thin bronze]

what's Mays

[errant arch]

like top schools

😭

[primal terrace]

business school

[errant arch]

they just filling up the spots

but whatever

im prolly not going to come A&M

[primal terrace]

yeah. it's really easy to get into TAMU as national merit. and you dont have to go thru ETAM

[errant arch]

yeah

[primal terrace]

and you get scholly's

[errant arch]

i was not locked in on the psat

bruh

i got a 104 fever cause of thep sat

the psat

[primal terrace]

tbh if I dont get any of my reaches its lowkey between this and purdue CS

[errant arch]

it was a very cold and the school had no heating in my testing room

so everyone is fucking freezing

[errant arch]

yeah

rightnow my option is penn state

💀

good uni

just

[thin bronze]

did you get into purdue? i got deferred

[errant arch]

i got deffered too bruh

[primal terrace]

yeah i got in

[errant arch]

cause they fucking overadmitted people last year

[thin bronze]

oh shit neat dude, congrats!

[errant arch]

3.3s 3.4s got in from my school for fye at purdue last year

[primal terrace]

tysm

[errant arch]

im hoping uiuc comes in clutch

[thin bronze]

right now idek

[errant arch]

purdue and uiuc are almost on par

[thin bronze]

looks like im going to uni in egypt

[primal terrace]

tbh TAMU looks so tempting bc i have the half-off in-state tuition and direct admit to CS but

[errant arch]

yo egypt

[primal terrace]

nah id say UIUC is like a tier above purdue

[errant arch]

fire

[thin bronze]

hell nah

[errant arch]

prolly for cs

[errant arch]

no like egypt is nice place

[primal terrace]

oh yeah

[thin bronze]

yeah sure tbf, luxury is cheap here

[errant arch]

i think their eng is like ranked p similar

right?

[primal terrace]

idk abt other eng majors but

[errant arch]

or am i trippin

[thin bronze]

i live a good life, but I need good education

[errant arch]

cs is prolly better

at uiuc

[thin bronze]

oh yeah fs

[errant arch]

5 percent acceptance for cs oos at uiuc

[primal terrace]

uiuc is top 5 CS, purdue is t20

[errant arch]

im eng tho

[errant arch]

yeah

i was talking abt eng

cs is def better at uiuc

[runic roost]

guys i applied to freshman computer science in a&m but got admitted to general engineering what does this mean?

[errant arch]

today?

whend u get admitted

[errant arch]

thats good

computer science majors get admitted to general engineering

so ur fine

[runic roost]

no i got admitted earlier

also how do i check if i got any scholarships or no

how hard is it to get into a&m

[primal terrace]

all engineering majors are admitted for General Engineering and go through the Entry-to-a-Major process in their first year

[runic roost]

yess i just read it thanks

[primal terrace]

yeah ETAM isnt hard

just keep a 3.75 gpa in the classes and you'll get into CS

[runic roost]

i got in with these short essays

[primal terrace]

jfc

lmao

i wrote actual essays because i was paranoid but damn

[runic roost]

i mean the main freshman essay A i wrote myself

[runic roost]

but these were submitted by a consultant without my consent :/

[primal terrace]

freshman essay A is just commonapp

[runic roost]

im trying for UTD tho

[primal terrace]

tamu is better than UTD

UTD has hella international students tho

[runic roost]

i know but im intl so like the area around utd is most suitable for me

yea

so its good for intls right

what are u trying for

[tranquil quartz]

BRO WHAT

YOU GOT IN WITH THAT??

[runic roost]

ye

[tranquil quartz]

i mean good shit

but like what

[runic roost]

good shi?

bro thats so bad

[tranquil quartz]

😭

I mean you got in

[runic roost]

if i was a tamu admissions officer i wouldve asked the person to pay extra to read those essays

[tranquil quartz]

😭

[runic roost]

bro id happily choose utd full ride over tamu and ut austin

but they didnt give me full ride 😭

[tranquil quartz]

I still havbe not heard anything from Tamu

but idc at this point

[primal terrace]

i got into texas a&m, purdue, and utd CS already. im waiting on my reaches lol— UIUC and gtech come out later this month, UT comes out..whenever, UCs/Udub/harvard/princeton/MIT/cornell come out march, stanford and cmu come out april

[tranquil quartz]

I got into purdue

RAHH UDUB

[primal terrace]

tbh purdue vs tamu is kind of a hard decision

[runic roost]

Damn W

are u intl too

[tranquil quartz]

For cs???

[runic roost]

www

[primal terrace]

tx resident

[tranquil quartz]

wwww ikr

[runic roost]

im only trying for texas unis

[primal terrace]

why

[tranquil quartz]

It's not really? Purdue is better than TAMU, no?

[primal terrace]

40k vs 14k

[tranquil quartz]

oh shit yeah

nvm

[runic roost]

cuz my parents dont want me to go outside texas as an intl and my relatives and all live in tx so its very supportive for me

[tranquil quartz]

yeah that is a hard decision

[primal terrace]

ah thats fair

if i get a reach im going there tho

[tranquil quartz]

If i don't get Udub i'm going to Purdue so yk

[primal terrace]

i think for me the priority is getting UT

[runic roost]

did u get any scholarships from tamu or utd

to be safe

[primal terrace]

im national merit

so half off tuition at TAMU

and full ride at UTD

[errant arch]

what

WHAT

bruh A&M still ghosting me

didnt even get a pathway

or anything

💀

[primal terrace]

afaik tamu doesnt even look at essays

[errant arch]

oh well

[primal terrace]

they just look at stats

[errant arch]

bro what

bruh

[primal terrace]

and ecs

[errant arch]

ok yeah im cooked bruh

oh

cooked

[runic roost]

damnn thats a w

bro intl tuitions are 3-4 times more than resident tuition 😭

[primal terrace]

yeah its rough

[tranquil quartz]

SAME BRO

[primal terrace]

UTD gives out a lot of scholarships tho

[tranquil quartz]

but idec tbh

[runic roost]

u mean the merit based ones or the applicable ones

[primal terrace]

idr

[runic roost]

they just gave me 5k per year aes

[primal terrace]

yeah aes is the big one

[runic roost]

with intl waiver

idk why they gave me only 5k

[primal terrace]

idk utd's actual tuition is pretty expensive but

[runic roost]

i was expecting more

[primal terrace]

with intl waiver + 5k its pretty cheap tho?

[runic roost]

its a lil more than ausstin or around the same 💀

[runic roost]

its like 10k tuition per year rn

i need to try to apply to more scholarships

[primal terrace]

from my perspective 10k is very cheap

however

[runic roost]

keep checking ur applicant portal

they dont email about decision

[primal terrace]

i get that intls have different exchange rates or something

and also lower wages

so its probably much harder to pay 10k on a saudi arabian salary

[runic roost]

yea but for utd ig 10k is a bit

[primal terrace]

true lol

[runic roost]

its not hard but like

idk

where do u check ur tamu scholarships btw

[primal terrace]

it should be howdy

[errant arch]

Real

What major r u tho

Engineering?

If ur not Eng I think ur fine

[primal terrace]

well if you're business you're even more fried

[runic roost]

fr

is utd a solid univ to go to as intl

cuz everywhere its like 10x harder for internationals

ut austin is just unimaginable

[primal terrace]

i mean yeah ut dallas is a solid school, nothing too special

the STEM programs are pretty good

very diverse

[runic roost]

whats stem

[primal terrace]

science tech engg math

[runic roost]

like undergrad coursses?

[primal terrace]

yeah

[runic roost]

oh alr

[primal terrace]

its also very diverse

[runic roost]

and is there like an honors school for cs there

[primal terrace]

yeah

cs^2

big south asian community, some east asian stuents

i know UTD had the first muslim frat in america

alpha lambda mu

[runic roost]

O

[runic roost]

whats that

[primal terrace]

cs honors

[runic roost]

is it good to try for it

[primal terrace]

https://cs.utdallas.edu/education/computing-scholars-honors-program/

yeah

its a great program, lots of access to research

[runic roost]

and whats the benefits of attending honors at univs

[primal terrace]

tbh people here shit on UTD a lot because everybody gets in but its still a solid school

[primal terrace]

more rigorous coursework, btter research access, more resources, looks good on resume

its not that big of a deal tho

[runic roost]

.

only 30 applicants can get in?

[primal terrace]

idk, last year they just accepted people into it

idk anything about the entrance exam

but

you can prolly ask utd reddit

[runic roost]

alr

https://cs.utdallas.edu/education/scholarships/

and do u know when do these scholarships open to apply?

[primal terrace]

not sure

[runic roost]

alr thx for all the help

[tranquil quartz]

CS 💀

idrc about TAMU tho

Cause i got purdue

[primal terrace]

if ur oos there's zero reason to choose tamu over purdue

full stop

[tranquil quartz]

yeah lmao

I'm oos

[rare lily]

What about cost?

[primal terrace]

tamu oos tuition is more epxensive than purdue

exception being if ur NMS

[rare lily]

I thought it was the other way around

[primal terrace]

nah purdue is 30k tuition + 10k-ish in costs

tamu is 40k tuition

• costs

[rare lily]

The cost calculator for tamu is giving me $20k for tuition (not including additional costs), while Purdue estimated like $46k

[open ruin]

thats for one semester

u have to x2 that amount

[rare lily]

Oh right

Ig it would be about the same

At least for me

[open ruin]

are u oos or instate

[rare lily]

OOS

For both

[open ruin]

yeah u gotta x2

[rare lily]

Alright

[errant arch]

tamu

ghosting me bruh

not even a pathway is wild

💀

not that i would choose it

but its the thought that can counts

[celest talon]

whoa😭

[thin bronze]

Do i get an email if accepted/rejected or a pathway?

[sweet shuttle]

whats a pathway

[errant arch]

They offer a alternative campus

[faint path]

blinn, galveston, or an engineering academy

[sweet shuttle]

ohhh

[errant arch]

And then u transfer

[sweet shuttle]

ok

[errant arch]

But not worth it

Not my type

[faint path]

you complete the classes somewhere else but you etam like any other tamu student

[errant arch]

I want all four years main campus

[sweet shuttle]

bruh im alr packing my bags to go to A&M

UT dont want me 😭

[thin bronze]

None of em want me

[errant arch]

Bro samw

[dreamy drum]

Wait so after the first year at another campus u can then study at the college station campus? Like u automatically will or do u have to reapply

[thin bronze]

Not guaranteed

[faint path]

yeah it's guaranteed as long as you pass all the required courses

application required for the whole getting into a major thing

But unless you're CS and gpa < 3.75, nothing to worry about

[primal terrace]

dosnt rly matter lol

tbh its probably easier to ETAM from a pathway

[errant arch]

social life

yk

[primal terrace]

blinn is literally on the tamu campus iirc

[errant arch]

i wont be at college station

[primal terrace]

or like right next to it

[errant arch]

wtf

oh

[primal terrace]

galveston is nice ive heard

[errant arch]

hm

[primal terrace]

people do make fun of blinndergarteners tho

💀

[errant arch]

ill see when i get smth

i think im getting rejected

i havent got any pathway

or anything

💀

it js says under review

[primal terrace]

i think tamu also saw an increase in applicationws

[errant arch]

o

yea i cooked

im

**

[storm turret]

im at college station 👁️

then again if im somehow rejected then 🤷

at least i have one place secured

[primal terrace]

if ur not applying eng or business u should be fine lol

[storm turret]

im not

[primal terrace]

i thiink sciences comes out next week tho

[primal terrace]

tbh uc davis > tamu stats

[storm turret]

yeah im going to davis for that reason

[primal terrace]

hmm i didnt know both TAMU and UCD were that high for (graduate) statistics

also they're tied

whcih is hilaroius

[dreamy drum]

When u applied on common app did u click no to the alternate pathway options

[errant arch]

not sure

💀

idts

[dreamy drum]

Me neither

😭

[celest talon]

who here is still waiting for a decision 🥲

[celest talon]

I think I said no to that

[errant arch]

[storm turret]

i applied for stat

[faint path]

https://thebatt.com/news/am-to-limit-undergraduate-enrollment-growth-implement-development-plans-across-campus/

[open ruin]

doing ea to tamu is one of my best decisions

my entire application was shit but still got in

😭

[celest talon]

this is for next year

🥲

[celest talon]

does not getting a decision mean that I didnt get in or what

I didnt opt for any pathways

[dreamy drum]

I guess bruh 💔💔

Tamu will be dealt with

[modest robin]

☠️

[errant arch]

bro

A&M lowk pmo

like give me a decison bro

😭

idec reject or accept

[celest talon]

Oh wow 😔

[dreamy drum]

It’s ok we in the same boat

Hopefully get something February

[celest talon]

I am still hopeful because I didn’t do business or engineering

🙏

[dreamy drum]

Oh yr getting in fs

🦅🦅

[celest talon]

YUH

They need to make space for me 😝

[errant arch]

I did engineering bro

[dreamy drum]

We cooked bro🔥

are^

[storm turret]

i did stat

[runic roost]

i LOVE your pfp and banner

[dreamy drum]

I have a question

If u r applying for an eng they will just put u into gen eng first right

My first choice is most likely filled My second choice is bio agri eng and I saw that seats were still open on the portal

Can I later switch to my desired major which is chemical engineering if I get in under the bio agri?

As in can I finesse that

[celest talon]

still nothing😭

is the college of ag and life sciences tough to get into? thats where I applied

still got nothing

[vestal raptor]

You will be gen eng first yes, with etam you should be able to apply to any one

[hazy creek]

brown foundation please lemme get an interview

[open ruin]

whats blinn team

[vestal raptor]

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=blinn+team

[faint path]

its like half enrollment for your first year

so you take something like 2 classes at tamu and the rest at blinn in bryan

there's a bus every 15-20 mins or so that lets you go between the two

once you ETAM, you become a full tamu student

[primal terrace]

ngl pathways are so overpowered for A&M engineering

even PSA

if you really really want an A&M engineering degree, it's very accessible to get into the program

[storm forge]

is A&M worth the debt

[dense skiff]

oos?

[storm forge]

in state

[dense skiff]

yes it's not terrible instate

[errant arch]

A&M hasnt even sent me a anything bro

[dense skiff]

It's okay UIUC takes you trw so youwont have to worry about a&m

[errant arch]

i hope

bro

🙏🏿

[dense skiff]

🙏

[marsh sentinel]

I think im cooked

[marsh sentinel]

That didnt turn out so good for both of us :/

[errant arch]

fuck a&m

bro

they just ghosting me bruh

[marsh sentinel]

Im.. kinda

Not sure

Tamu should have the same way of 90% in state as austin

[errant arch]

so should ucs bro

[marsh sentinel]

Which.
Damn fuck
