University of Texas Austin (UT Austin) (2025-2026)

[toxic mortar]

😭

[dim rock]

Did u get in harvard

[toxic mortar]

yea

I'm the kidw ho got into harvard but rejected ut in state

or capped ig

[dim rock]

dang wtf

thats crazy

[toxic mortar]

yeah it was tragic

[vestal bobcat]

Does anyone think going to ut austin is worth it for nursing even though their tuition is kinda pricy?

[ruby timber]

Happened to a guy ik irl too

But his app was lowkey frauded so whatever 😭

[restive tangle]

I think this happened last cycle too lmao

[toxic mortar]

waht does this mean

likew ahtd they fraud

how do u fraud a whole app

actually

I remember seeing that article on the yalke girl

and I think it's pretty easy for internationals to do

[restive tangle]

what are your goals? do u wanna ever go to grad school?

[toxic mortar]

are you in state

how pricy is pricy

what are your other options

what's your expected salary after graduation

would you need to take loans

[restive tangle]

• what nursing schools r u comparing to

[vestal bobcat]

I was thinking about going to grad to be an APRN but im not sure

[vestal bobcat]

Yeah

[vestal bobcat]

My SAI on fafsa was pretty high so I don’t think im getting a lot of financial aid

Like probably 12k a year just for tuition and then theres housing

[toxic mortar]

what r ur other options and how much r they

[vestal bobcat]

Yeah

[restive tangle]

ut ik is better for graduate school, but there’s also other schools in Texas that are closer to medical complexes w better opportunities

you asked if it was “worth it”

worth is something different from person to person

what are you looking for in college?

do you want the college experience)

do you want to make money asap?

[vestal bobcat]

Im mainly focusing on Baylor and University of Houston

Baylor gave me a 100k scholarship

[restive tangle]

ooo congrats

[vestal bobcat]

But their tuition is still pricy

[vestal bobcat]

Thank youu

[restive tangle]

more than yt?

[vestal bobcat]

Ut hasn’t told me my aid

Has anyone been told that??

[restive tangle]

uhhh I have not but I’m waiting on some scholarships that delay may aid

my*

so idk

[vestal bobcat]

I want to have a good college experience but i dont want to have a ridiculous amount of loans after undergrad

[vestal bobcat]

No bc they told me i was a terry semifinalist 😕

[restive tangle]

okay wait so UH is an amazing option

[vestal bobcat]

And then UH i heard their nursing program is really hard and then their campus is dangerous

And then idk if I’d like Baylors environment I dont think i’d fit in

[restive tangle]

oh idk about that, but I know they’re in proximity to utmbs & the other medical complexes in Houston

which is a huge + if you’re trying to find a job straight after grad

[dim rock]

I got the same thing and that did not make a dent in the coa 😭

[vestal bobcat]

Thats true

[vestal bobcat]

No im saying 💀

My friend got the baylor benefits like shes set 😭

[restive tangle]

vs for Austin, you likely have to move after grad for a job

[dim rock]

omg same and my coa is still 24k 😭

[vestal bobcat]

This is kinda personal 😭 but idrc

But im from houston

[restive tangle]

it’s fine

yes

[vestal bobcat]

So I wouldnt mind having to come back after college

And working in the medical center

Like i was literally at it today its so cool

And then I dont like small towns so I don’t think Baylor would be for me

Plus their insane coa

[restive tangle]

yeah if Baylor doesn’t give u any aid I’d strike them off the list

• I think UT and UH have better nursing programs than Baylor iirc

[dim rock]

baylor is so greedy with aid

my counselor uses their penant as the bathroom pass

[vestal bobcat]

Like i apply to so many scholarships

Nb wants me 😞

[restive tangle]

uh nursing will have a slightly higher financial ROI compared to ut nursing bc grads make more & graduate than less debt. buttt ut has a better pathway to grad school (+ u can make better connections). on the other hand, with uh, you can prob get a good job quickly, work a couple years to gain experience, and then be in good shape for grad school.

[hushed lagoon]

can only accepted students see their admissions files?

[toxic mortar]

Yes

[real patrol]

Can I see this for anywhere else

[spring fox]

Anyone who got oos ut austin wanting to connect? I got into mechanical engineering.

[dark musk]

if you're auto admitted, what school in ut austin do u get into automatically? it's cola right?

[sour snow]

if its going to leave you in debt than no. go to a cheap nursing school

[dim rock]

this is UT not UTA

[spring fox]

I meant ut Austin mb

[quaint orchid]

utd

[inland hearth]

yesyes i am cns

[dim rock]

is anyone going to west fest?

[worn fiber]

to put it in perspective, what do yall think is the non auto acceptance rate for cns mccombs nd cockrell

[toxic mortar]

1% 1% 1%

Jk

Idk

UT admissions is quite random anyways so it's hard to say

Very random actually

[grim wraith]

so like oos? Or in state non auto

[dim rock]

in state non auto is like 11% and oos is 9%

[toxic mortar]

Sounds about right

[grim wraith]

less for mccombs right?

[dim rock]

yeah thats just the schools overall acceptance rate. mccombs acceptance rate is 9% but that includes autos.

so non autos its even lower then 9%

[errant topaz]

sigma

[robust grail]

finally won the hell that is sending my transcripts from university to university 😭

it’s ok i’ll be at ut next year so it’s slightly worth the pain of dealing with aos

ok nvm they’re playing in my face they didn’t get my fafsa

[onyx gulch]

r u a cap student?

[robust grail]

yes

[onyx gulch]

oooo

how is that, i got capped for fall 2026😔

[robust grail]

oh im not actually one yet whoops

i will be in july when i start

[robust grail]

but i guess for the actual process of becoming admitted it’s just aos not knowing how to communicate and how even if they give you information you’re kinda left in the dark

[onyx gulch]

wait wdym

ooo wait so u applied ut for fall of 2026?

[robust grail]

ill officially be one in a few months so im posing a little bit for now

[onyx gulch]

so ur going to utsa next year?

[robust grail]

yes

[onyx gulch]

oooo i see

[robust grail]

i was about to go to arlington but its changed thanks to ut’s screw up😭

[onyx gulch]

lmao bro i signed up for fall 2026 cap but prob not gonna do it

[robust grail]

thank god cause i didn’t wanna go like. 4+ hours away

[onyx gulch]

im like 4+ hours away from utsa, and like an hour away from uta

what major r u doing

[robust grail]

poli sci

i think that’s government at ut tho

[onyx gulch]

ur chilling then

thats cola right

[robust grail]

yes

only reason why i took up cap

if i wasn’t cola i would’ve gone to utd

[onyx gulch]

bro i contacted admissions to ask about cola cuz on their website it was like some liberal arts maojs arent guarranted and i asked which and she told me its none and they js place u in wchiever they have space in

i was looking at the behvavoiral and social data scinece one in cola

but i contacted ppl on li and they said it was guaranted for htem when they did cap so idrk

[robust grail]

i’m just gonna try and like show continued interest in my major and hopefully they’re like

yeah let’s give this to her

[robust grail]

also i lied i didnt win.

[onyx gulch]

lmao

good luck gnag

[robust grail]

they didn’t even get my fafsa

it just makes me mad cause i know they have it, i literally applied to utsa and they even sent me my financial aid offer 😭😭😭

like they gotta have my transcripts and stuff unless if they like. terminated everything from my other app

[onyx gulch]

bro finaical aid and tution stuff pmo

im so cluesless as to how to do it and they dont even help when i call them

[robust grail]

college officers have my dream job

aka getting paid for bullshitting and god knows what when they clock in

like this just pains me to see

[grim wraith]

people are buying houses for in state tuition

[robust grail]

don’t you have to live in texas for a certain amount of time 😭😭😭

[grim wraith]

Yes 😭

[robust grail]

anything for in state tuition

[ionic knoll]

isnt it a year?

[ionic knoll]

you applied to 57?

[dim rock]

yeah 3 years

so they could get it their senior year

[grim wraith]

Yes 😭

Not in the US only tho

[ionic knoll]

wow. how many were safeties reaches and targets?

[grim wraith]

32 in the US

[grim wraith]

Uh like 27 reaches lmao, rest were safeties and targets (talking only about the US)

[ionic knoll]

wow

[ionic knoll]

did you apply cambridge or oxford too

[grim wraith]

Not Cambridge, I was going to but I didn’t meet minimum requirements for my course

[ionic knoll]

ic

[grim wraith]

Was a fun process, do not recommend

[ionic knoll]

how much time relatively did you spend in writing essays

i almost died writing these many essays

[grim wraith]

I spent 3 weeks of December on essays

Also gave up using AI in that month

Shit was hard

[ionic knoll]

i dont think they check in detail. Bc there is no way for them to know if a student used ai unless it's quite obvious

[ionic knoll]

wow

essays for 57 colleges

[grim wraith]

not all of them needed essays

Lets talk about only the US

[ionic knoll]

idt if ive seen anyone apply to these many. What's your top choice based on your acceptances thus far?

[grim wraith]

i felt like i was losing my personality by using it to help me write

[grim wraith]

ut austin or uoft

edimburgh is pretty good too

most of my decisions come out in the next week

10 in 24 hours lol

[ionic knoll]

same mine is ut austin too so far

[ionic knoll]

damn

[grim wraith]

are you oos for ut austin?

[eternal spoke]

ts has gotta be more expensive than paying intl tuition

[ionic knoll]

yeah

[grim wraith]

congrats!

[eternal spoke]

• living in tx doesn’t automatically grant you residency

[grim wraith]

yeah it is

total coa is like 65k a year

a house cannot cost less than that

[eternal spoke]

mhm

& you can’t find a house for under 500k in Texas

lol

[dim rock]

they just have to establish residency so they could rent an apartment no?

[eternal spoke]

they’d have to live in Texas for a certain amount of time

my friend @ school has to pay oos tuition for UTD bc she doesn’t quality for instate tuition

[grim wraith]

wdym?

i lowkey dont know all these rules

i just know its hella expensive for me

[eternal spoke]

To qualify for in-state tuition at Texas public colleges, you must be a U.S. citizen/permanent resident (or eligible non-citizen), have lived in Texas for 12+ consecutive months before enrolling, and establish a permanent domicile (e.g., working, owning home). High school graduates must show 36 months of residency plus 12 months prior to enrollment.

Ways to Establish Texas Residency for Tuition
Option 1: Through High School Graduation
Graduate from a Texas public or accredited private high school.
Physically reside in Texas for the 36 consecutive months leading up to high school graduation.
Physically reside in Texas for the 12 consecutive months immediately prior to the census date of the semester of enrollment.
Option 2: Through Domicile (12-Month Rule)
Live in Texas for 12 consecutive months.
Establish and maintain a domicile (permanent home/intent to stay) in Texas for 12 consecutive months, such as being gainfully employed.

[dim rock]

damn lowkey i dont even qualify for instate

why are they so strict

wait idk

bruh am i even a texas resident wtf

[eternal spoke]

check w your counselor

[dim rock]

"Physically reside in Texas for the 12 consecutive months immediately prior to the census date of the semester of enrollment."

[eternal spoke]

do you not live in Texas rn

😭

[dim rock]

High school graduates must show 36 months of residency plus 12 months prior to enrollment.

nvm

yes im in texas

[dim rock]

ut better send these financial letters soon

[dim rock]

this time last year financial offers were already out 😢

[torn gull]

ut is notoriously slow with their financial aid

last semester i got my aid like a month late

[inland hearth]

did anyone apply to fri wins

[halcyon juniper]

when to expect finaid estimate

[dim rock]

good question

it was out this time last year, so hopefully any day now

[halcyon juniper]

have you received it yet

it says rolling basis 😭

[dim rock]

nobody has

i was accepted EA so i would be first

ide presume

the financial aid portal wont load

hopefully thats a sign for they are releasing aid soon

[scenic crypt]

i did last year

if you apply you'll most likely get in

[dim rock]

ayyyy

[desert bolt]

W

Putting finishing touches rn

[eternal spoke]

less people applied last year + ik they’ve had some more issues this year in terms of staff

[dim rock]

ayyy lets goo

[random meadow]

got into caltech but rejected ut

[grim wraith]

admissions are fun

[native mango]

should i apply to the women in stem llc

[native mango]

yay

[errant topaz]

financial aid just came out

[inland hearth]

Wait rolling no?

[errant topaz]

not sure but you should check it regardless

first batch if it is

[dim rock]

omg no way

let me check

[velvet terrace]

Can’t believe it’s finally out

[dim rock]

omg that's so good

got UT dell scholar

[pulsar marsh]

i have the exact same net price but my pell grant doesnt show up on the financial information page

[errant topaz]

thats applicable to anyone that qualifies for i believe TAC

the free tuition mabob

[dark musk]

pls ut 🤞

[dark musk]

top 7-8% (7/91) as of last sem i think i can get to the top 4 or 5% criteria by senior

[errant topaz]

91? tf

[dark musk]

small school

[inland hearth]

Wait guys should u have submitted anything to get FA

[dim rock]

just fasfa

[ionic knoll]

silly question. Does ut austin tell other colleges that i've committed if i accept their offer?

[ruby timber]

No

How would they know where else you applied

[ionic knoll]

maybe all the colleges have this central database

idk

[ionic knoll]

got it

[grim wraith]

is there a ut'30 gc?

[spring fox]

Is there a way to appeal my aid or do I just email Texas onestop?

[robust grail]

im in austin rn for rodeo

i forget how much i despise driving here

this is worse than home 🫩

[meager fog]

oh yah austin drivers want you dead

[dim rock]

i'm in wampus right now what do i do

[robust grail]

i thought san antonio was horrible but genuinely i never wanna be on austin roads ever again

[ionic knoll]

Is the orientation in person?

[dim rock]

yes

[robust grail]

i just got influenced by my current ut friends into joining the waitlist even though it’s gonna get them 10 years to get to me and i’m cap

yolo!

[dim rock]

Ut admitted a few people off the waitlist recently

[robust grail]

yeah that’s what they told me

and they saw a tiktok of a girl getting in yesterday after being capped so

[gray bane]

All the more popular majors won’t know till after May 1st

[robust grail]

why not test the odds

in the odds that i get in im, probably still going to do my cap program cause i already spent so much for utsa and i have a scholarship there, i dont wanna rack out more money 💀

[torpid trench]

Chuddy

[tender crane]

Am I in danger if I didn't apply to housing until I got decisions . I applied right after I got accepted for early (Jan 15th), but my friend who got accepted said she applied in like October of last year..

[dim rock]

no. typically if you applied mid march then you wont get an offer

but also off campus lowkey is the same price if not cheepier

i found places as low as 980 a month off campus

[tender crane]

Phew goodness

I want to be on campus because honors LLC

[dim rock]

honors quad is so overrated ngl

i toured it and its like prision cells

[tender crane]

I dont think my honors is in thr quad

Its in

Jester Hall

[dim rock]

what floor

[tender crane]

No idea

[dim rock]

i got into first gen llc and its on the very top floor in jester 😭

[tender crane]

Oh wow

Im worried I haven't really

Heard anything back from housing

I feel like

Im missing something

The housing app didn't ask for any like

Deposit..

[dim rock]

nah they send out contracts in the middle and end of the month on mondays

did u have a waiver

when u applied to the school

[tender crane]

Uhhh

Like

Application waiver?

[dim rock]

did u pay to apply to UT

yes

[tender crane]

Yes I had a waiver

[dim rock]

thats why

it carries over to ur housing contract too

[tender crane]

Ohh

Ok

[old lark]

Yuh

Uh Turing is better for quant. You need math + cs for quant

[sick garnet]

I've heard that csb classes are a joke (from turing students) - but my information is pretty outdated by a few years

it's that business influence 🙂

[minor lagoon]

i mean the csb kids ive talked to have viewed this as sort of a plus. leaves more time and energy to pursuit other stuff ig

in terms of rigor turing is def harder. for quant turing is def better. its in their culture too like half of ut ucf is turing

[tender crane]

Are you allowed to do multiple honors programs simultaneously? Is it (mentally) viable..?

[minor lagoon]

unless its coordinated like csb i dont think so

u def cant do turing and csb at the same time tho thats all ik

[tender crane]

I didn't plan on doing CSB

To what degree is an honors program really like

Affect your schedule

I got into Texas Robotics but I dont really know what to expectt

[minor lagoon]

it def depends program to program lol

robotics honors is a minor right

[tender crane]

I think you get garunteed the minor

And then research stuff

[old lark]

its relative new but I heard its p good if u wanna do research and interested in that field

i would defo suggest to try it, i am p sure u can drop honors courses at any point and its not requring u to take any classes except 1 or 2 to fufill the minor. If anything it helps with overall research

[tender crane]

Yeah im def gonna take! Im a little worried because sometimes new programs (in my experience) can be a little rough as they sorta build up their resources but im sure at a place as vast as UT it'll be find

[old lark]

Yea, the minor has been there for a while so I dont think your really loosing much since unlike dual degree programs ur only forced to do a minor which is 5 hours of work.

[tender crane]

I never understood how dual degrees work

None of them really appealed to me at UT anyways thoughh

[fathom patio]

wdym

[tender crane]

How does one do a dual degree if the subjects are completely unrelated? Is it sorta a half-half thing where you dont go as deep into each of them?

I suppose i just never looked it up

[fathom patio]

id say while going deep into coursework is important, its not what solely gets u jobs

also being able to intersect two fields can be very powerful, like even cs+bizz/finance

u can run high finance tmt, tech consulting, product management at faang

[tender crane]

So it is sorta like you get decent but not full exposure to both feilds?

Interesting

[fathom patio]

ur still getting a full degree in both fields. id say the main thing is committing to a specific path that uses skills from both fields if ur double majoring

also when people say they double major most of the time its something like cs and math where theres a lot of overlap

[tender crane]

I see yeahh

I was thinking of doijg CS + Neuro for UT but I had decided against it because im not really great at chemistry

[fathom patio]

yeah its a rlly good idea to find a niche within cs itself too

and double majoring cs + x can make it rlly easy to find that niche

[fathom patio]

r u interested in the comp bio aspect of it

[tender crane]

I was (I applied to a few comp Bio programs) but I feel it was kind of fleeting whereas robotics has been a more continuous interest

[fathom patio]

oh i gotchu, but dont be scared to explore other disciplines on the premise that you think its going to limit how deep u go into cs

[meager fog]

Meeeeeeeeoooooooow

[dim rock]

i rushed a frat on friday

did you see daya

on campus

[meager fog]

huh

[dim rock]

did u see daya

[meager fog]

idk what/who that is

[dim rock]

omg

wtf

[meager fog]

i dont associate with greek life minus like 1 person

i don't care about popular people too if its an influencer or smth

[dim rock]

its not

[meager fog]

😭

[dim rock]

wait it's sending

[meager fog]

oh was it west fest slop

[dim rock]

[dim rock]

[meager fog]

oh my god

my inner gacha life kid rejoices

[dim rock]

it wasnt even part of greek life really

i missed out on it 😭

cause i was at a frat party while she was performing

[meager fog]

it is bc theyre in frats

or smth like that

im also like not old enough to go to frat parties

or parties in general

[dim rock]

girl

this is no age minimums for frats

i went at 17 💀

[meager fog]

oh ic <- also 17

wouldnt want to go to a frat party anyways

esp if i was a girl. Shivers

[dim rock]

they let all girls in

[meager fog]

thats da issue

[dim rock]

if ur a guy you have to either have a girl with you, or know a brother

[meager fog]

greek life is like. inherently very weird about women

[dim rock]

yeah kinda

[meager fog]

but like what 13% of people here participate in greek life so

[dim rock]

16%

[meager fog]

i prefer my sex and alcohol ETHICAL!

[meager fog]

close enough

[dim rock]

half the guys in the frats get no play dw

[meager fog]

counting or not counting the girls they say r lying

im a flamboyant queer man though so like, not rlly the place for me no matter wat

[dim rock]

i think there is gay frats

[meager fog]

im friends with someone who leads a lgbtqia+/gender inclusive sorority but nothing i cant get out of an org

[old lark]

UT SDs in state or UIUC cs + Econ oos. Cost is not a problem but like if I won’t gain to much then ofc cheaper option

[dim rock]

guys what oriention dates did we get

i got session 1

[halcyon pagoda]

wait do I have to commit to sign up for orientation

[dim rock]

yes

[halcyon pagoda]

nvm registration not opened for natural sciences

yo why are there so many orientation sessions

[dim rock]

maybe cause there is like 10000 freshmen

[halcyon pagoda]

how many ut '30 ppl r in this server

[dim rock]

quite a few

maybe 10?

[robust grail]

-1 im posing

[halcyon pagoda]

Yo what are these names

[old lark]

hu

[solemn pecan]

#📢-announcements message

[verbal crag]

how likeley is it that earlier sessions will drop bc i ohysically cannot attend my session

[dark musk]

i was talking to my teacher and he said he'd pick utsa over ut for undergrad cause he heard about how cutthroat ut is. is it true ut is cutthroat? and if so how much? or how cutthroat is it?

[real patrol]

How hard is it to transfer to UT 💔

[halcyon pagoda]

It isn’t cutthroat it’s just harder because it’s a more prestigious university and harder to stand out since there are so many students. But if you do good at UT it’s obv way better than utsa

[fringe kite]

guys how important is getting a good orientation date 😭 I am going on vacation so I wouldn't be there for the earlier(better apparently) sessions so imma have to settle for ones in july.

am I cooked for this?

im a engineering major at cockrell btw

[robust grail]

i looked at reddit and it’s not impossible but you need a really high gpa (at least 3.7-4.0 from what i saw) and it also depends on what college/major you’re transferring into and you need an updated resume

only reason why i took up my cap offer fr💔, id rather have a guarantee transfer knowing im cola than fight with the other thousands of people trying to transfer in

[dim rock]

guys i got session 1 for orientation 😜

[torn gull]

important for UGS classes

what is up with these names

[ionic knoll]

Is the earliest for CNS June 8-9?

[tender crane]

Ih my goodness the site was so laggy I got session NINE

[meager fog]

what the freak 😭 was everyone camping it

they did last year too but like i got session 5 (not the earliest but not the latest) a week later or smth like that

[tender crane]

I hope i can get some good freedom with my classes

I didn't expect having to pay that slowed me downn

[ionic knoll]

Oh crap

I haven’t even booked

[dim rock]

u might be cooked

[halcyon pagoda]

Ima have to register for a later session bruh

Cuz I can’t commit yet

[robust grail]

im so glad i have it easier

seeing this makes me stressed for yall😭

[dim rock]

u prolly gonna have some form of orientation next year ide imagine

[robust grail]

i mean i’d hope so

my orientation was online and then i toured 2 weeks ago

then i met my academic advisor who lowkey forced me into an 8 am calculus class

he’s evil i don’t like him

but it’s okay you guys don’t have to start in the summer like i have to💔

[dark musk]

thats genuinely vile u have to do that 💔 no summer break

[robust grail]

yeah i hate it

i graduate in may, turn around less than two months i start july 1st

anything for ut ig hook em 😔

[worn fiber]

im forced to do august virtual orientation

will i still have decent class options

pbh pre med

[native mango]

is it cooked i still havent decided ut or gt

[halcyon pagoda]

Nah depends on ur major and if ur in state

I can only commit UT by like the 13th

[native mango]

cs and in state

[halcyon pagoda]

Shoot that’s tough

I’d prolly choose UT tho since save money and good program

[robust grail]

yeah id do whatever is cheapest

[worn fiber]

is there a chance any of the earlier cns sessions open up

[dim rock]

UT

[ionic knoll]

Just committed

Official LongHorn

[dim rock]

ayyyy let's go

[native mango]

i dmed

[grim wraith]

can you dm me too

or is it the one we're already in

[real patrol]

Anyone knowledgeable on transfer apps

[robust grail]

like cap transfer or external transfer

cap i can help but external i cant 😔

[real patrol]

external

its a tough situation cus

im going to a&m, for blinn, and i would have transfered in 40+ hours of coursework which finishes off UT's 24 hour requirement, but idk if they're gonna take that

im still gonna take 2-3 classes per semester prolly but this crosses soem weird lines too

because if i transfer in all my courses i dont qualify as a full time student technically

its probably best i call a&m

and ut

i have roughly 44 hours in credits at a&m through AP's

i want to transfer all of them

[robust grail]

ut’s transfer req for external is 24 hours??? jeeeeeeeeezzzzzzxx

im over here busting my butt for summer, fall, and spring for cap and that’s 30😭

[robust grail]

but yeah this is something i’d def either talk to your school counselor (if they don’t sit on their ass and are actually useful) or call both ut and a&m

[real patrol]

"school counselor" 😂 😂 😂

[robust grail]

that’s IF they do their job

[real patrol]

they dont even know things that are in place within our high school

they didnt notice i was missing half a geometry credit and let me in another class i wasnt supposed to be in ☠️

[robust grail]

that’s criminal

[dim rock]

this is so cute

[robust grail]

hi guys

dorm selections actually came out for me! im a suite with 7 other people!!!! there’s 2 a room and there’s 4 rooms and 8 of us💀

😭

[tender crane]

Well

Idk maybe a lot more people sorta like

[halcyon pagoda]

i gotta wait a week until I can commit ☠️

[tender crane]

Already plan to go there

More than likely not applying to many other colleges with late release dates

UTSA is rolling too

I applied and got in 3 days later

[halcyon pagoda]

oh shoot ur right

rolling until like december

[tender crane]

Uhm

No

Until like

May

You can still apply rn i believe

[halcyon pagoda]

i think its only december for fall 2026

[tender crane]

Oh

[halcyon pagoda]

not sure tho

[tender crane]

Maybe

Idk

[halcyon pagoda]

why the utsa campus lowk nice tho lol

[tender crane]

Utsa is so chopped-

Oh

Uhm

[halcyon pagoda]

yeah the social life is cooked

campus isnt like horrible tho

[tender crane]

Which campus thoo

The main campus..?

[halcyon pagoda]

main

[tender crane]

Idkkkkk

I wasnt huge on it

Its just

[halcyon pagoda]

my parents work there and like

[tender crane]

Big grey boxesss

[halcyon pagoda]

LMAO

[tender crane]

[tender crane]

I love me a good La cantera👽

Yess

[halcyon pagoda]

W

wait if u dont mind can u lmk which school in dms

[tender crane]

Uhm

UT

[halcyon pagoda]

😭

[tender crane]

Its in the name

[halcyon pagoda]

interesting

[dim rock]

yall we wont get room selection till june dont worry

[robust grail]

this is me when i gaslight myself into making myself feel better about not going here freshman year

utsa is so ugly

[robust grail]

the saving grace

la cantera > north star

although i end up spending like 10x more at la cantera

i hate utsa right now because of my rooming situation

this is my floor plan for my dorm atm, im prob gonna do like a nearby apartment cause this is actual hell

im not living with 7 other girls with only 2 bathrooms

[dark musk]

https://tenor.com/view/gem-alert-gem-alarm-gem-soyjak-gif-7002731824817142760

me too

[dark musk]

i was gonna say this sounds lit but 7 ppl with 2 bathrooms is lwk yikes..

also i thought the beds were singular not bunk beds

[robust grail]

there’s another floor plan where it’s singular beds

[meager fog]

dorm drama and politics would be crazy 😭 how would you manage to get along with 7 other people with only 2 bathrooms for 2 semesters. crazy work

[robust grail]

what are the odds that i can peacefully co exist with 7 other women

[dim rock]

how am i going to register for classes on june 1st if i havent even gotten my ap scores yet?

[dim rock]

@flint bridge A is only for UT Arlington

[torn gull]

they will explain during orientation how the process works

[dim rock]

but like how do u know to register for macro econ if u dont get ur test score for another month?

[torn gull]

from what i remember you just register then and submit your ap scores whenever you get them

otherwise you will get kicked out of the class when school starts

[ionic knoll]

wait does ut austin have an admitted students day?

[dim rock]

it already happened ngl

next thing is orientation

but the admit student day wasnt anything special tbh

u just toured the school at ur will and they were supposed to have a block party but it got rained out

and it was rainy the whole day so it wasnt even worth it to tour 😭

[dark musk]

ut austin has everyone go in as a general business major for mccombs as freshmen, right?

if so then do they still have u select majors of interest within business

on the applciation

[dim rock]

yes u can only applied as unspecified business. You have to declare ur major after 30 credit hours

[dim rock]

nope

[dark musk]

ah ok

[dark musk]

dang 30 a lot lwk

[dim rock]

yeah typically once ur done with freshmen year

[dark musk]

is there a guarantee of sorts that you can get the major within business that you want or is it still competitive

[dim rock]

nope, you can choose any major once ur admitted to business

[dark musk]

oh ok good

[dim rock]

50% of mccombs students are finance

[dark musk]

iirc u said u were gonna do finance right?

[dim rock]

most likely yeah

[dark musk]

pardon the questions but i was also wondering about if they made u do a why major essay

[dim rock]

nah ur good i like answering. yes they had a why major essay and share your most notable accomplishment

[dark musk]

what'd you put for your why major essay?

[dim rock]

talked about my background in aviation and how I plan to tie that to business to go into aviation finance sector

[dark musk]

ohh ic
thats lwk good yea

[dark musk]

its like 2 yrs out but i was thinking of putting how i wanted to help the world with businesses (ie making businesses that benefit the world), its kinda vague so far but once i get a theme going for my app itll prob be more specific, but i wanted to get ur thoughts on that "outline" so far

[dim rock]

yeah doing something for the betterment of society is good. you definitly need something more specific but thats a good start especially with that being UTs moto "What starts here changes the world"

make sure to have a good expanded resume when you apply

[dark musk]

i forgot they need a resume lol

[dim rock]

expanded

should be 4 or more pages

[dark musk]

oh dang yea
so basically a cv but for hs students

[ionic knoll]

oh i just found this website today lol and saw the admitted students day was today: https://bealonghorn.admissions.utexas.edu/portal/Admitted_Longhorn_Fridays?tab=april24

I am in College of Nautral Sciences and they dont have a date for April 24th. Was there one for april 10th?

[ionic knoll]

[dim rock]

its really nothing special honestly

i got like 1 free shirt

[ionic knoll]

did they do Academic Information Session for each college?

[dim rock]

yes

for mccombs they did

idk bout urs

[ionic knoll]

thats pretty good though

[dim rock]

nah just wait till orientation

ull get so much free stuff

also did u register for orientation?

[ionic knoll]

yeah

july 1-2

hbu

[dim rock]

june 1-2

[robust grail]

my why me essay i dead serious ate shit

[dark musk]

how come? whatd u put?

[robust grail]

i feel like it’s very generic and has a common moral that i was trying sell

it didn’t stand out as much as i thought i did

[dark musk]

how did u know this after the fact? did u like have someone look at it after u submitted it? just wondering

[dark musk]

ah

[robust grail]

no i reread ts

but keep in mind i started my essays literally like

the day before the whole app was due

[dark musk]

bro why 😭

[robust grail]

because i had no clear goal

for the why this major essay at least

[dark musk]

oh so u procrastinated

i mean it worked out in the end u got admitted basically

[robust grail]

basically yes

i think out of all 4 essays i wrote i think my greatest accomplishment essay and my personal one is the best

my why this major essay i was flat out honest and told whoever was reading my college app that i never really had a passion that other people have when it comes to doing something affiliated with their major

“My interests grew freshman year, when my parents asked me what I wanted to do with my life, and like every kid I said the following prophesied words: “I don’t know, I’ll be a lawyer”. I accepted it without much thought, little did I know that those 7 words changed the next 4 years of my life.”

looking at my essay makes me cringe

[dark musk]

they appreciated the honesty prob, but thats prolly not a good sign for the admissions team

oh wait i read it wrong nvm

[robust grail]

like maddox he actually had a reason and was able to tie it in

[dark musk]

i thnik anyone can craft a reason

[robust grail]

me i was like ermmmmm idk what to write about

[dark musk]

maybe sprinkle in a bit of bs'ing perhaps

not a lot but a bit

if needed

prolly idk

[robust grail]

yeah i’ll tell ut i was a huge suits fan in middle school

[dark musk]

thats where the bs'ing comes in

but ur good now u got admitted

[robust grail]

tbf i should’ve applied as a studio arts major

[dark musk]

what's ur major that u applied w now?

[robust grail]

government

[dark musk]

u prolly get more j*bs w government tho

[robust grail]

or i should’ve done journalism

[dark musk]

would it even be worth going if you got admitted but not as your desired major

like if i applied for say engineering but got placed in cola 😭

[robust grail]

i wouldn’t do it

especially if there’s other schools i got into w my desired major

[dim rock]

hell nah

[robust grail]

and also that’s like a huge slap in the face

you don’t get your major and you get put into something like cola undeclared

i’d riot

[dark musk]

why cola specifically too 😭 is it cuz no one goes there or smth?

[robust grail]

there’s a shit ton of majors that fall under cola specifically

[dark musk]

oh shi text wall mb

srry these r lwk all unemploymentmaxxing 😭

[dim rock]

econ only good one and thats the hardest cola major

[dark musk]

oh shi i didnt see that

wait why is that not in mccombs lol

[robust grail]

psychology, rhetoric, gov are cracked too

well if you’re going to law school

[dark musk]

yea i was gonna say lol doesn't psych need postgrad studies to be useful

[dim rock]

econ is weird. some schools its in business school, some liberal arts, and some even social science

[robust grail]

and also cause the stem majors should at least get a taste of studying humanities

a2c stem majors are scary man

[dark musk]

dont they have like regular classes tho for stem majors

[robust grail]

prob

stem is not my area

[dark musk]

or do the a2c stem majors just de and apmaxx to not have to take them lol

[robust grail]

im more of a lit and arts person

[robust grail]

that too prob

sometimes i wish i was admitted here for freshman year and not cap cause i can’t use my de credits and my ap credits

[dark musk]

oh fr u cant? damn

[robust grail]

yeah

im basically doing a repeat of junior year and a bit of senior year

it’s okay everyday is a step closer to ut and me gaslighting myself that im gonna have an amazing freshman year

[dark musk]

college is what u make of it

[robust grail]

yeah that’s why im gaslighting myself that im gonna have a fun time at utsa and not be upset

if i do it enough then ill start believing it sooner or later

talking about this makes me remember i need to do my decision day slides yikes

[dark musk]

what r decision day slides

[robust grail]

my school has a decision day on a random day and it’s a slideshow of all the seniors and what colleges they’re going to

and they put it on a gigantic board

[dark musk]

oh that sounds lwk kinda fun

[robust grail]

now me personally i don’t want to do my slides because 1) i talked about ut since middle school 2) no one knows im capped and im doing it 3) everyone who applied to ut got in except for me

[dark musk]

i mean it's still an admit

lie by omission

[robust grail]

i don’t know why im so like embarrassed

[dark musk]

if it helps no one will prolly care in a few weeks

[robust grail]

i did my senior session pics and i larped so hard LMFAOOO

[robust grail]

there’s a specific tiktok i saw and i think it’s so funny

wait a sec

yeahhhh uhh

at utsa my major is uhhh exploratory studies… oh at ut it’s government

[dark musk]

LOL thats acc real

id be like that too lwk

[robust grail]

also like being cap freaking sucks cause i have no one to talk to about this

my advisor sucks so im doing everything by myself 😭

like no i don’t wanna be referred to the cap website for the 15th time

im counting down the days……good riddance to my advisor in june 2027…. when im admitted

[dark musk]

u got 1 yr itll be aight 🤞 ill manifest a great year for u

[robust grail]

right like

the year will be over before i know it

i see the promised land

[real patrol]

On EVERYTHING I’m transferring into UT in a year

[ebon rain]

does anyone know anything about https://cns.utexas.edu/info-admitted-students/college-readiness/math-assessment#utma? i assumed most people would be except from math placement tests through ap calc bc/sat math scores but i guess not. for context im incoming at CNS (cs major) and got a 5 on bc exam last year. currently taking calc 3/diff eq

[robust grail]

REALLLLLLLLLLL

I SEE MY FUTURE AND ITS BURNT ORANGE RAHHH

[real patrol]

Not even waiting 2 years

[flint bridge]

oh my bad

[dim rock]

lmao its fine. UT austin students want to be disassociated with arlington as much as possible

[flint bridge]

sorry, i didnt know

[dim rock]

its fine 😭

[tender crane]

Oh lowk I needed to see this

One would think theyd.. put it somewhere on your account/email though..?

Its weird you have to do it regardless of SAT and APs though..

Is it like

More than calc..?

[dark musk]

what's yalls net price each year for this uni

[halcyon pagoda]

Like 30k

[magic spire]

anyone know how many get off waitlist for mccombs?

[scenic crypt]

pretty much everyone has to take it but it's really easy

you will also be required to take the placement chem exam if you're planning on taking chem!

[dark musk]

im gen tweaking a bit i need to get top 5%

[meager fog]

1 trillion dollars

[robust grail]

is this cute for my decision day slides

[dim rock]

2.5k

[dark musk]

dangg nice

[halcyon pagoda]

its fire

wait bro is it cooked that I have to go to orientation session 15 ☠️

7 waitlists I hope i get off one 😭

[robust grail]

i wasn’t gonna make one but my principal personally came up to me in passing and asked me if i did my slides like uhhhhhhh

[robust grail]

i waitlisted myself from here LOL

[dark musk]

@dim rock pardon the ping but is it possible if u could dm me what u submitted for extended resume? i just wanna get a feel for what they want

if u don't wanna do it thats totally fine

[dim rock]

Sure give me like 30 mins

[dark musk]

aight tysm!

[halcyon pagoda]

its finee you'll be here in a year

[halcyon pagoda]

LMAO thats cool ur school does these?

my school deadah like toxic with decisions so ppl gatekeep ☠️

[dark musk]

gatekeeping decisions is wild 😭

[halcyon pagoda]

yeah cuz they feel embarrassed prolly and like ppl judge u based on where u go its cooked

[robust grail]

mine is too

im so embarrassed to put these up

i was so loud and proud about ut, i’ve never shut up so fast about it when i opened my decision and saw cap, so now i larp 😏

[halcyon pagoda]

😭 i hate that u get judged for college

at my school even UT Austin ppl get judged ☠️

its like the ivy and ivy+ kids who have big egos

[halcyon pagoda]

LMAO dude larping is the strat

[robust grail]

real like im graduating from ut that’s all that matters

[halcyon pagoda]

fr they'll see UT in ur bio in a min

[robust grail]

my degree is gonna say ut austin

[halcyon pagoda]

but yeah UT Austin is lowkey highly regarded even out of state

i dont think its much worse than ivies

[robust grail]

it’s just like a little embarrassing cause everyone who applied at my school got in but me so im like.

[halcyon pagoda]

dang really? barely anyone from my school got in UT

it was super weird

like EVERYONE got capped

all the non auto admits

except a few

[robust grail]

yeah

only 5 applied, 4 got in and im the fateful cap student

[dark musk]

is it possible for an auto admit to get cap

[halcyon pagoda]

Nah not possible

They’d just get liberal arts

[halcyon pagoda]

That’s still rly good ur basically a longhorn

[robust grail]

yeah

as much as i hate the process of cap and freaking utsa

i’d rather take this way than dealing with rejection like other people

[halcyon pagoda]

yeah my friends had to go to like a&m, utd, and utsa

and theyre all great students

[robust grail]

only way i can see myself going to a&m is for mays ngl

[halcyon pagoda]

a&m is just too big imo 😭

i really wanna go to duke lol

but i just got waitlist after waitlist it was crazy

[robust grail]

i wouldn’t mind a big school only cause i’ve been going to a small 3a since elementary school

[halcyon pagoda]

ah I see i go to like a small school and its def very drama filled

everyone in everyones business

[robust grail]

YES

it’s comforting in a way but mainly scary how people know you for literally everything and can’t seem to mind their own business

[halcyon pagoda]

yeah thats why i try to stay quiet abt my business now

but i still listen to tea all the time

[robust grail]

it’s okay tho. we nearly at graduation

may 22… i can see it coming

[halcyon pagoda]

Lmao I can’t wait

[real patrol]

I have awful amounts of hope in getting off the waitlist

But also not

I joined it 6ish days after decisions came out

[robust grail]

i only waitlist cause a couple people have gotten off

[real patrol]

Can I PLEAAAAASE get off

[tender crane]

Orange 🍊 🙄 😡
Orange, Burnt 🧡 🐄 🏇

I feel like a lot of schools use very basic colors compared to UT being specifically a Burnt Orange

[dim rock]

uhm so does this mean im waitlisted?

[tender crane]

This is so VILE

[dim rock]

bro wtf does it mean 😭

[tender crane]

I guess youre the "just in case our 1st choice(s) say no"

[dark musk]

wait waitlisted from the uni as a whole? confused

[dim rock]

no lol just this scholarship program thing

[dark musk]

ohh ok lol

[tender crane]

I got a similar email for Terry Foundation but they atleast worded it like a "thanks for applying and you were a semi finalist but we didnt pick you" not "OMG CONGRATSS"

[dim rock]

same 💀

also yeah how tf they gonna put congrats then give me the most devastating news

[tender crane]

Its fine You're up they're lost 👽

Its kinda funny though 😭

I think all college acceptances/rejections should start with Congratulations

[robust grail]

“congrats on finishing your application to the university of texas at austin, after a holistic review you’re actually rejected”

[drifting pelican]

How difficult is getting off the waitlist for ECE?

I saw someone get off for computational engineering would that be easier

[dim rock]

all of the engineering waitlist are very low chance of movement. like sub 5% are getting off it

[sick garnet]

getting off computational wl sounds crazy to me with how low enrollment they have

but maybe it's also low applicants idk

[dim rock]

how hard is it to get san jac

[pulsar marsh]

would you guys take a&m full ride over ut ~$5k/year for engineering

[magic spire]

depends on ur financial situation, but personally i wouldnt

[drifting pelican]

5k year nah

Full cost (35k/year) yeah

Kinda also depends on major

[pulsar marsh]

5k coa for civil

[desert bolt]

Isn’t it like 13k for instate

Unless he’s oos

[dim rock]

13k is just the tuition. housing + miscellaneous expenses is 22k

[drifting pelican]

Yeah and Austin housing prices after year 1 will easily push that number even higher

[drifting pelican]

Both are really solid for civil so go with whatever you prefer

[worn fiber]

anyone get waitlisted from fri?

[halcyon pagoda]

yeah lmao

i lowkey speedran the app tho

like last second

[dark musk]

were yall oos

oh its a research thing

[desert bolt]

Yeah

But my friend told me the waitlist moves pretty fast, because a lot of people drop

[halcyon pagoda]

is FRI even that necessary tho tbh

i could just cold email

[desert bolt]

Yeah I think it's better to just go to a professor and ask
If the professor thinks you are capable they won't say no

Im probably gonna try to self-publish on Arxiv tho

[halcyon pagoda]

lmao yeah if it doesnt offer like stipend or research funding idk if its much benefit

[magic spire]

how do u access ur ut email?

[halcyon pagoda]

i think we get that at orientation or when school starts sadly

[magic spire]

darn

[dreamy sluice]

Anyone get in fri as cs major?

[robust grail]

waitlist gotta be the longest wait ever

[ionic knoll]

Did they release the results?

[dreamy sluice]

Yea they sent out emails

[real patrol]

How bad’s the waitlist for math

I have no hopes of getting off lowkey

[robust grail]

have hope

[ionic knoll]

Wl for FRI. So what happens now….. Do I just wait for getting off wl. And if I don’t, I won’t be in FRI?

[scenic crypt]

yes 😭

fri is the best research opportunity you'll get as a freshman

speaking as someone in a fri lab

it also takes care of your chem and bio lab credits usually

so you get lab experience and also knock some courses out of the way

[halcyon pagoda]

Shoot I didn’t know this I’ll try to get off the waitlist

It’s fine tho worst case cuz my current mentor knows someone in the same field at UT so I can continue my current research

[desert bolt]

Do you know if its good for CS research as well?

[ionic knoll]

How do you try to get off waitlist? Is there anything u can do besides waiting?

[robust grail]

HAPPY DECISION DAY GUYS

hopefully i get off the waitlist and commit here

[tender crane]

Can we eat steak on campus or is that offensive

[robust grail]

that’s a thing people care about? 😭

[dim rock]

is UT some sort of vegetarian school that im unaware about

they have food trucks every corner of campus, why would people care what when or where you eat 💀

[tender crane]

Im just playing its okayy

When i toured I got some beef teriyaki bowl

So I think its fine

[halcyon pagoda]

did u ask this cuz there are a lot of indians ☠️

[tender crane]

No...

Its because the mascot is a cow..

[halcyon pagoda]

ohh

[robust grail]

acl line up dropped

ngl im sad i don’t listen to a majority of everyone on the list 😔, no acl for me this year

[dim rock]

yeah acl artist lowkey mid

[robust grail]

charli xcx is headlining but ngl i know like 7 songs from her 😭

[drifting pelican]

Oh my fucking god I got off the waitlist for computational engineering 😭

I was auto admit, really wanted ECE, but got liberal arts

Applied computational cuz I heard there was some movement a few weeks ago and I ended up getting off

Now idk what to do guys help

I have a full ride at TAMU for electrical engineering

[glass summit]

full ride like brown scholarship 33k/yr or is it the national merit 10.5k/yr

[drifting pelican]

Brown scholars

[glass summit]

going to college for free is a pretty good deal ngl

[drifting pelican]

You right

Was fully set on TAMU but saw this suddenly

Now I’m in a dilemma

[glass summit]

@tough yarrow as a former ut student what are your thoughts

[drifting pelican]

Cuz I had kinda made UT my dream school

And realistically I could transfer to ECE in one semester

[glass summit]

oh UT internal transfer is cooked

don't do it, far from guaranteed

also @sick garnet thoughts on this

[sick garnet]

i just know it's incredibly hard to transfer into ECE but i don't have any datapoints

there's a lot of anecdotal points of like 4.0 gpas whilst taking ece courses (im ngl i didn't have a 4.0 from the early ece courses, mainly because i hate ee lmfao)

the ce classes were so free

[robust grail]

a&m isn’t for me but if a&m was giving me a full ride id go

who doesn’t like free school!

[tough yarrow]

Agreed there’s no guaranteed transfer into all of engineering unless it’s an explicit part of your offer

[drifting pelican]

Is it not easier to internal transfer if you are already in cockrell?

[tender crane]

Is there any way to see my class options before I get to orientation? I wanna start weighing my options and maybe getting some advice from current/previous CS students

[ionic knoll]

You can go online and check the core requirements to be a cs major they have a course catalog on their website

[dim rock]

friend got of waitlist for kinesiology yesterday

[robust grail]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

I GOT OFF THE WAITLIST FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS RAHHHHGGH

well i got off yesterday but i didn’t check my emails LOL

ok now time to leave, my time in this server is over

[drifting pelican]

I got off for computational engineering but I'm probably going to decline my offer 😓

[torn gull]

search up ut fall 2026 course schedule

also highly recommend getting the ut registration plus extension on chrome

[tender crane]

Interesting ill look into that

[real patrol]

waitlist registration is closed?

how many more people yall think they letting in

[drifting pelican]

Probably not a lot

Majors like ECE and mech e are cooked because so many apply and they have high yield

Saw someone that got off for aerospace and I got off for computational

[real patrol]

I’m math idk this is so impossible to predict

I’m not engineering

Something makes me think ppl that got in fo math are going for math

[drifting pelican]

Probably, since usually people that apply to majors like math actually want to do it

Idk tho you never know. A lot of t20s are good for math so a good number of people would probably go to t20s if they got in instead of UT
