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

[dim rock]

the cs building is so nice btw i toured it

[rugged drift]

have u been to the uh

upstairs balcony area

[dim rock]

Ye

i got a photo of it on my camera

[rugged drift]

very nice w the flowers n vines and shit

[dim rock]

I manifested my acceptance so hard. i walked every building and wrote my supplements in the PCL

submitted my app under the tower

[rugged drift]

bra i hope i can get a san jac contract

i stayed there for a week and the dorms so fuckin nice

private bath n shit

[rugged drift]

u can see the stadium depending on ur view

[rugged drift]

only downside is that

u have to

walk to j2

[dim rock]

i'm probably gonna just live in jester first year

[rugged drift]

which is why im srsly consider jw

yea

in other years san jac but like bra

j2 is literally downstairs

[dim rock]

ye i wanna go somewhere in wampus or downtown next year

[rugged drift]

wampus w all the frat parties

😭😭

[dim rock]

yes

bro i wanna rush but apparently rushing already started and it ends when school starts

[rugged drift]

whats that

[dim rock]

like social events that get you recruited by frats

[robust grail]

i wonder if rushing for guys is as hellish for girls

i want to rush so bad but genuinely it’s hell 😭

maybe later in college but i don’t think i can afford paying stuff every month on top of trying to survive freshman year

[scenic crypt]

dorms r overrated

the dining hall food is hellish

lowk if you can find an apartment thats more affordable than the dorms id say go for it

having to share a room with another person is uhh. Interesting

[dim rock]

college experience tho

[rugged drift]

this

if when i get admitted the rest of my senior year will be spent connecting w my classmates going to ut

[robust grail]

i genuinely can’t stand the thought of this

[dim rock]

bruh u finna be fine

[robust grail]

like i’ve shared a room with my sister for my entire life

it’s irritating and i want my own room and space but the chances of that happening are so low😭

[rugged drift]

this is when u do ur research and pray u build a connection w a good roommate

[dim rock]

there were some off campus appartments for 1200-1500 a month which is similar to living in jester

[rugged drift]

its cooked if ur not choosing one urself

[robust grail]

yeah i’m trying to work on that more often

[rugged drift]

my friends at college have told me like

atleast for the 1st month

[dim rock]

im hoping someone from my school gets into UT that i can be roomates with

[robust grail]

i’m too shy and socially anxious, i wanna at least be able to like make a few friends

[rugged drift]

u really gotta put urself out there if u want friends

like more than u usually would

some might see it as fake but

[robust grail]

my doom is coming

[rugged drift]

the harsh reality with such a large ecosystem

why would someone choose a quiet reserved person over one who is relatively more outgoing (not in an obnoxious way)

[robust grail]

i have no problem talking to people online but in person i fall

i would LOVE to have the confidence to actually go out and put myself out there but its so nerve wracking

[rugged drift]

highley humilation ritual

[robust grail]

no literally

[rugged drift]

u deadass have to force urself

no other way

unfort

[robust grail]

it feels humiliating and i feel like everyone’s judging me even if no one cares

[dim rock]

bro its not that bad 😭 u will find ppl during orientation dw

[rugged drift]

^^

worst comes to worse type here

and find sm1

🥲

[robust grail]

i can’t even imagine orientation i’m so fr

like i prefer to be alone

[dim rock]

i think comms would be a good major for you

[robust grail]

isn’t that moody?

[dim rock]

yes

[robust grail]

i did studio art

[robust grail]

yeah i’m gonna try at least

i don’t want a repeat of the last 4 years of hs

i will make friends 🔥🔥🔥

[rugged drift]

this is NOT the move ❌❌❌❌❌❌💔💔💔💔💔🥲🥲

[robust grail]

i’ll never win

[rugged drift]

anyway dont fret too hard

a lot can change in 6 months

[robust grail]

yes like graduating

66 school days till grad yesssssswe

college will be my clean slate to start fresh

[robust grail]

actually i lied it’s less than that

[scenic crypt]

just spent a little more time than usual in our shared restroom bc i have a stomachache and feel unwell and my suitemate LOUDLY goes 'why are they taking so long ugh'

BITCH ITS 2 FUCKING AM

sorry

uncalled for

but

it just sucks

really the suitemates are worse than the roommate

[sterile sapphire]

https://www.reddit.com/r/UTAdmissions/s/HmZIZ9Jh9U

For all you future capped

[rugged drift]

this is when u assert ur dominance by staying even longer

[robust grail]

teebs i’m probably gonna cap

considering i literally am somewhat close to utsa i think ill be okay

[torn gull]

wait i liked kins though

and it was nice not having to worry about food

im a proponent of ✨the college experience✨™ for freshmen

[scenic crypt]

kins is nice bc its all girls

but im in jester west

i've been woken up at least 3 times by frat guys screaming at 2 in the morning

[torn gull]

i mean kins dining

[scenic crypt]

oh yeah

kins dining is the best of the dining halls

[torn gull]

i was in jester east lmao

[scenic crypt]

thats the quieter of the two

overall its cool its just my suitemates

but like. pick out people you know youll like and youll be fine!

[torn gull]

oh yeah roommates suck

i was witb a rando

with very poor hygiene

[scenic crypt]

they walk in when im showering even though we literally have an agreement to knock and also to generally not come in if someone is in there ....

[scenic crypt]

nightmare situation good lord

did they not shower?

[torn gull]

not that often

also he never cleaned after himself

like the sink area

[scenic crypt]

eugh 😭

[kind monolith]

[robust grail]

it’s so cute

the UT milk😭😭😭

[orchid stump]

is the portal working

i cant open it

[random meadow]

oh are decisions out?

[orchid stump]

no

just want to check if i missed anything

[random meadow]

my happiness lasted a mere few seconds until i saw this

[random meadow]

portal's working

[orchid stump]

huh

mine said 403 forbidden

im int btw

[random meadow]

do u have vpn

ah

i guess try again after a while

or clear cache and try?

and access portal via UT Austin's website

[dim rock]

someone be my roomate

im a good roommate trust

[dry tundra]

So even after getting capped, u have to maintain a rly high gpa in phy and math and even then it's not guaranteed

[rugged drift]

https://www.reddit.com/r/UTAdmissions/s/qOxm9UUHW8

[dim rock]

dang so mccombs is harder then cs

online says cs is 6%

[real patrol]

i havent filled out my housing application how cooked am i

[dim rock]

i heard last year if u didn't do it by march u didn't get an offer

[real patrol]

obviopusly im gonna fill it out before march

but i wanna liveo ff campus to be honest

[desert bolt]

Honestly think CS has gotten easier

At least for auto admits

[dim remnant]

how about ECE?

im non auto tho

[desert bolt]

I have no idea

But I have been seeing people with lower stats and weaker ECs get in

[dim remnant]

my ECs and essays i think im chilling

its just my rank im wondering if its too cooked only top 15%

[desert bolt]

Like a friend of mine had a 1460 and didn't have many ECs related to CS
And was RD

He got in Jan 15th

[dim remnant]

was he auto?

[desert bolt]

Yea

[dim remnant]

yeah figures

[desert bolt]

I have like plenty of ECs related to CS and am auto

I think im good

[dim remnant]

hopefully we both get in our first choice majors in abt

6 days from now

[desert bolt]

The real coin tosses are the Ivies and Stanford

[desert bolt]

Yeah hopefully

[desert bolt]

It could come out like Wednesday or Thursday(like EA)

Probably gonna be Friday though

[dim remnant]

id be so secure abt UT if they werent so obsessed with rank

only reason mine isnt not top 10% at least is cause i had external circumstances but oh well

[robust grail]

i thought they gave up on top 10 and switch to 5

[desert bolt]

Wasn't it top 6% before

[robust grail]

yeah like

3 years ago😭

it’s 5% now

[desert bolt]

That one kid who who did the bare minimum to be top 6% and be auto

But then UT changes it to top 5% that year

[robust grail]

i heard it’s supposed to go down to 4% soon, but it’s just speculation

[robust grail]

LOL i can’t even make top 5%😭, i’ve been doomed and stuck at like sub 35%

[fallow wraith]

it was switched this year

last year's class was still top 6%

[robust grail]

ohh okay

[desert bolt]

Top 1% when

[robust grail]

i just said that cause at the time when one of my friends got in it was 6% for him and it’s been a few years

[robust grail]

ut must be thinking they’re ivy level or something then

[desert bolt]

In 2035

"Everyone in the top 0.1% will be auto admitted"

[robust grail]

well i guess it’s ivy level if you’re oos

[dim rock]

auto admit isnt even crazy. it just that if u dont get in ur first choice then ur guaranteed cola

[desert bolt]

In 2045

"Everyone without an IMO medal will be auto-rejected"

[robust grail]

2050: 90% rule is rejected, it must be 99% of texas residents

[desert bolt]

Auto makes it easier to get your major though

Because they have to be the majority

So many autos with lower stats and ECs end up getting their major

[robust grail]

times like this i was auto admit

[desert bolt]

At least UT is better than Midrgia Tech

4-8% acceptance rate for non-autos

[dim rock]

not entirely. if they dont see you as a good fit, then they will simply reject you and give you cola. that still fits the 75% rule if u enroll

[robust grail]

i have no idea what that is but that’s just rough

if i was auto admit i would’ve been chilling since i plan on being a cola major

[desert bolt]

It does help a lot however

And yeah good fit to major, but if you are auto they are definitely kinder with your decisions

Like know like 5 people who had no ECs related to their major and got in with their major
All autos

[desert bolt]

Georgia Tech

[robust grail]

ohh

yeah idk much about oos colleges 😭

[desert bolt]

GTech rejection was not allat though

Stanford and MIT rejection is where I will fully crashout

[robust grail]

fit to major

im gonna open mystatus and see i got in for studio art instead of government

all my ecs and stuff are photography based

[desert bolt]

Like 5 of my 10 ECs are CS
One is volunteering
4 are Math

[robust grail]

mine is yearbook, art, photography, tutoring, etc stuff like that

[desert bolt]

I am absolutely cooked in Awards though

[robust grail]

all my awards are photography stuff also

[desert bolt]

One CS related award

Now it was a good award
I won $2k for my CS performance

The rest are mid

[robust grail]

oh lucky you

all my good awards i wish i could put them on my resume but i got after apps were due

i won the austin rodeo photography contest literally last night

[desert bolt]

Damn is it an online comp

[robust grail]

like this would’ve been KILLER to put on my resume

[desert bolt]

Ngl bro if I end up going to UT or A&M im probably gonna try to transfer to a T20

[robust grail]

yes, and im in the pool to get grand champion for a local rodeo in my city and i think the prize is $10K in scholarship money

[robust grail]

if it makes you feel better i am extremely jealous of people who are able to do any sort of comp sci or stem

my brain genuinely doesn’t function well academically when it comes to that unless if it’s any sort of art or literature

i wouldn’t say jealous more like, in awe because i know i could never do that😭

[torn gull]

ece is not nearly as hard as cs

[dim remnant]

Wait actually, I thought ECE was one of the hardest engineering to get admitted into tho

[dry tundra]

w ragebait

almost had me

8/10

[torn gull]

it is among engineering majors

[torn gull]

it's true lmao

[dim remnant]

well i mean one of the hardest majors in general

well good for me then if its not as competitive as i thought it was lol

[dry tundra]

ece AR and CS ar for intls and oos are nearly identical

soo still a 8.2/10 ragebait

[torn gull]

oh that's interesting

[dry tundra]

yeahh

ut only takes 5% of there class as intls

[torn gull]

im not saying that its not competitive

[dry tundra]

so i have basically no hope

[torn gull]

are you intl?

[dry tundra]

unfortunately

[dim remnant]

yeah exactly its competitive then, if CS has a 15% acceptance rate then that it cant be much more competitive than other majors

mccombs has like a 9% acceptance rate lol

and overall engineering acceptance rate is 11%

all lower than CS

[dry tundra]

@dim remnant ur not taking into account, instate, oos and intl applicants making engineering much much lower

[dim remnant]

i mean what would be different about that from CS?

[dry tundra]

cs ar intl and engineering are WILDLY different, coming close to 4.8 to 8%

making it almost as worse as ivies

[dim remnant]

then engineering would also be around that percentage lol

[dry tundra]

UT is like a very reach for me cuz of that

[torn gull]

where are you getting these numbers

[dim remnant]

i mean yeah theres not much hope for UT as an intl cause they dont like OOS students

[dry tundra]

im calc these off simple stats

they take 4.5-5.5% of there class internationally

[dim remnant]

CS 15% Engineering 11% and Mccombs abt 9% are from UT admitted student sessions

[dry tundra]

then comparing the ece major stats with these

[torn gull]

yes there is a rule for how much of the class has to be in state

[dry tundra]

and taking approxs from my country

[dim remnant]

CS is less competitive than engineering and business according to those stats

[dry tundra]

no....

[torn gull]

cs 15% is crazy lol

[dry tundra]

thats not true

[dim remnant]

^^

[dry tundra]

cs is def below 15%

[dim remnant]

well 14.5%

but yeah

[dry tundra]

theres no way only 6607 ppl applied for CS

LMAO

r those for EA or smth

[torn gull]

that seems a bit fishy but sure

[dry tundra]

OUT OF 90K PPL IN THE MOST POPULAR MAJOR IN UT, only 6607 ppl applied

so false

holy

[dim remnant]

u can disagree with statistics from an official UT source if u want

doesnt change anything

[dry tundra]

use ur brain a lil bit and stop mongering over the stats gng

[torn gull]

im just saying that these numbers are surprising

[dry tundra]

suprising is an interesting word here, to say the least

[dim remnant]

i mean ur only source is ur assumptions so

[dim remnant]

true

i thoguht itd be lower

[dry tundra]

better than factually incorrect statements....

[dim remnant]

whats ur proof that an official UT source is factually incorrect?

[robust grail]

what the percentage for the school of fine arts?

[dry tundra]

ut receieved more than 11332 apps for CS

where r u pulling allat info from

6607 APPLICANTS

lmao

what a joke

[rugged drift]

off campus first year...

[rugged drift]

where is this number from

at minimum those numbers are from the ut preview tour

[real patrol]

im non auto instate tho

[real patrol]

same, do they even care about these though?

mine were genuinely out of my control 😭

[robust grail]

uhhh idk

i try to stay out of admissions business as much as possible

im worried about myself getting in😭

[rugged drift]

yeah let me just focus on getting in bro

when i see that admit status im leaving r/utadmissions forever

[robust grail]

im like lowk on edge because my awards / ecs and stuff are a lot more better than my actual grades

hope yhat essay pulls through

[torn gull]

i come back here every year to remind myself how good it feels to not have to go through this mess anymore 😭

it's almost over tho you're past the hardest part already

[desert bolt]

Im gonna come back there every year

The obsession with portal astrology is mad funny

[random meadow]

lmfao i like hows it called "astrology" too

[robust grail]

and it'll like some random portal update from ut highschool kek

[scenic crypt]

ikr like you guys need to chill out a little but also i get the stress

it's just fun to watch from the outside

[dim remnant]

Bro it’s basically UT or nothing for me bro 😭

Cause if I don’t get into UT then I’m def not getting into my other reaches so I have to end up at my safety

Which I really don’t want

[scenic crypt]

you cant do anything abt it now is my point

focus on other stuff

have fun w your senior year

[torn gull]

this ^^

[twilit fiber]

R u instate

[dim remnant]

yeah

[twilit fiber]

Auto)

?

[dim remnant]

Nope

But I have external circumstances why my grades were a bit lower, still little hope tho

UT cares too much about rank

[real patrol]

Same it’s kinda annoying what happened w mine

[ruby timber]

Does anyone know if people who applied for honors and got in usually get accepted in the early round?

Or does it take them longer to even consider it

[robust grail]

happy decision week everyone

[twilit fiber]

its next week

[robust grail]

nvm i thought today was the 10th😭😭😭

[deep jungle]

Wait how is it next week man

[dry tundra]

its on friday

most probably

[robust grail]

if all fails

i go to the orange and white school in dallas

[dry tundra]

utd?

[robust grail]

yes

[dry tundra]

the harvard of the south

congrats

[robust grail]

oh thank you

i’m between baylor and utd and ut austin but baylors not about to do it for me cause im not paying that tuition

[dry tundra]

ok

[dim remnant]

Nah this week it’s most likely releasing Friday

Cause the 15th is a weekend

[dim remnant]

Same 😭

[twilit fiber]

Bro vandy is also this friday i think

[robust grail]

i’ll see you there then

i wish there was a utd forum but i don’t think many people from a2c applied there

[dry tundra]

UT OUT

??

Wth

CAN ANYONE CHECK?

@mods

[elfin mauve]

im guessing thats for ea

im still deferred on my side

[dry tundra]

it was out an hour ago

[dry tundra]

this is from there story

POSTED an HOUR AGO

[elfin mauve]

Still have this

[dry tundra]

oh, maybe its out at the usual time

yk

in like 5 hours

ish

[elfin mauve]

I'd still assume this friday. I don't want to get my hopes up just for nothing to happen

[dry tundra]

i mean they did post ts on their admissions story today

has to be today i think

why wouldnt they post it on friday then

[elfin mauve]

idk

maybe they want reactions to post on friday for a like "congrats video" for the people who got in

[dry tundra]

hmmm

could be

[deep jungle]

I think it’s for EA

[twilit fiber]

please

dont announce results

i dont want my first rejection

or pls vandy send me my acceptance letter

and ill withdraw ut before they release so i dont get my rejection letter

[willow cedar]

it’s not i just checked

[dry tundra]

It might be out on the time it normally is

Idk

[deep jungle]

This will be my first rejection

😭

Oos CNS is fried

[compact heron]

fahhhh

[twilit fiber]

at least ur not engineering

[desert bolt]

It says New Longhorns
Implying that they are requesting videos from people who already got in
If the results were coming out today it would make more sense for them to post it tomorrow

Also since decisions come out before the 15th
They are 100% gonna send an email beforehand like they did last year

[twilit fiber]

fuck

fuck

bruh i need vanderbilt to come out before

to clutch for me

🙏

[compact heron]

[compact heron]

you got that

glgl

[twilit fiber]

🙏

[compact heron]

[slender oyster]

hopefully but they prob telling ahead of time so more people record it

[dry tundra]

give ts for engineering twin

[dim rock]

[dry tundra]

good golly

(im cooked)

[dim rock]

last year was 75k

[deep jungle]

Wait it’s saying my file is incomplete??

Here we come

[tough yarrow]

Whomst

[peak herald]

that's hella smart

[kind monolith]

Lowk smart

Ppl are still prolly gonna do portal Astro tho

[fading shale]

bro doin it on purpose

😂

[dim remnant]

[deep jungle]

Are you in state

[brazen ether]

is oos < 10%

[kind monolith]

p much yea

[peak herald]

what's oos cs

compared to GT OOS CS & UIUC OOS CS

[sterile sapphire]

Ivy league

[twilit fiber]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH REJECT ME NOW

[deep jungle]

GT cs lowk better

[stoic spruce]

isn't it like 5%

[peak herald]

def but like AR wise

[twilit fiber]

ILL GO TO UVA PREMED OVER U ANYWAY

XDXDXD

REJECT ME NOWWW

[peak herald]

is UT worse than GT/UIUC acceptance rise wise for OOS CS

[brazen ether]

this is for intls

[stoic spruce]

ah okay

[twilit fiber]

Ut cs oos is 1%

[peak herald]

say swears 💀

That cannot be true

[twilit fiber]

I think so bro

[sterile sapphire]

So ivy league lmfao

[twilit fiber]

5% of their class is oos

5% intl

Cs is their most comp major

[brazen ether]

its over less than 10% lmao

[dim remnant]

UT OOS is genuinely fried

[twilit fiber]

Bro

I applied oos for engineering

As an asian male

😭😭✌️✌️✌️✌️

At least i got uva oos

Bruh i never knew ut oos was this comp bro

[fallow wraith]

that’s crazy congrats

[deep jungle]

Oos sds is fried

[twilit fiber]

Congrats on mich bro

[kind monolith]

ut oos is hard asf

Even in state is getting cooked for some majors

[deep jungle]

Is statistics data science hard Oos

[kind monolith]

(cs-core)

[twilit fiber]

Cns is much easier bro

[fallow wraith]

yea we have a lot of auto admits at my school getting deferred or second choice major

[deep jungle]

Cs is in CNS

[kind monolith]

it’s easier but idk to what extent exactly

[twilit fiber]

Oh

[fallow wraith]

our val didn’t get cs

[deep jungle]

I see

[twilit fiber]

Auto?

[fallow wraith]

yea he’s ranked 1

[twilit fiber]

Bru

😭✌️

[fallow wraith]

got biomed or smth instead

[deep jungle]

Damn

[kind monolith]

Class of 25 Val didn’t get their major at UT

[sterile sapphire]

Guys auto doesn't guarantee major

[kind monolith]

goes so FSU now

[fallow wraith]

and he even got 40 acre invite

[twilit fiber]

What if i get into ut though

What IF

[robust grail]

then you get in

[deep jungle]

Then you would get in

[twilit fiber]

Bruh when i applied i wanted to do engineering

But i want to do premed now

[kind monolith]

I’m fried for engineering ngl

[sterile sapphire]

Lmfao just hop on the waitlist for premed then

[minor lagoon]

is there a chance a batch of turing and csb comes out during rd release

[twilit fiber]

I think ill go to uva over ut for premed tho

[robust grail]

OK GUYS let’s pray i get into into cola🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[twilit fiber]

Coca cola

[kind monolith]

You got it

If im cola bound i’ll crash tf out

[twilit fiber]

My friend got some

[robust grail]

yes

[twilit fiber]

Tier 2 scholar or smth

Idk what that means

She’s instate competitive priv high school

Rank 1 i think

[robust grail]

and everyone will get into engineering or comp sci or whatever hard school it is

idk how yall do it i would’ve lost my mind if i was doing comp sci or engineering

[fallow wraith]

probably plan II honors

[twilit fiber]

Oh yes that

My friend got that

[kind monolith]

I’ve lowk lost all hope for UT so I’m going oos

[twilit fiber]

R u instate for ut

[kind monolith]

Yeah

[twilit fiber]

Ok its not over for u then

[minor lagoon]

Yeah that’s diff

[old lark]

UT soon yay :))

[kind monolith]

Gl guys

[twilit fiber]

Bruh best case scenario

Vanderbilt releases before and i get in

[robust grail]

the wait is over comrades

told you guys happy decision week wooooo

[desert bolt]

Smh

[twilit fiber]

Shit bro

[real patrol]

Same

[real patrol]

I’m in state CNS and I’m still fried

[desert bolt]

No lol

[vapid egret]

Ok good

[real patrol]

[ember coral]

Exact same for me looooll

We cooked

[dim rock]

someone rd from my school got in i think he was top 5%

[dim rock]

that looks familiar

[worn fiber]

anyone apply public health

wt do yall think abt the chances for that major

[robust grail]

i think. every major or school is hard to get into at this point😭

[worn fiber]

lol im just coping 😭

[robust grail]

that makes all of us

[dim rock]

someone be my roomate in dobie 21

also why did i just find out today that mccombs is being rebuilt

[deep jungle]

what happened to flight buddy

[dim rock]

we double majoring

[deep jungle]

wait is that possible

[dim rock]

nah

[deep jungle]

oh lmao

[dim rock]

i was gonna do flight had i not gotten into a good business school

but ima try and do both

[deep jungle]

ambitious

[dim rock]

i already have my first pilots license

i just need 4 more

[deep jungle]

tbh you do jackshit in business iveh eard

or very close to it

[dim rock]

well

u gotta put a lot of time into networking if u want a good job out of college

[deep jungle]

oh you're right man

[dim rock]

but finance is pretty math heavy i heard so idk

i had no clue they were rebulding mccombs till today

its gonna be right next to dobie 21

ts looks so fire

[deep jungle]

niceee

[native mango]

[native mango]

fr

[sleek creek]

gonna keep it real it lowk feels like a failure on their end

idk i just find it hard that you've had since early november to start reviewing and youre constantly pushing back ur deadlines

should go to something more automated like psu

or more on a rolling basis

[dim rock]

[elfin mauve]

just do what vt did and use ai to help grade essays at this point

[native mango]

the email is a joke but so true

[sleek creek]

oh

yeah i dont know much about ut but from what ive heard is that the admissions is a disaster

[rustic pumice]

U funny bro

[fading shale]

U funny gang

[serene sparrow]

U NOT funny buddy 👿

[kind monolith]

Bruh

[real patrol]

I’m so petrified

I’m not getting in bro

I need to accept the fact that I’m prolly not getting in bruh

[real patrol]

I applied math

It’s so over oh my lord

[twilit fiber]

r u oos

[twilit fiber]

i applied engineering

lmao

[real patrol]

No

In state non auto

[real patrol]

I have a lot of special circumstances that idk if they care about

[twilit fiber]

it only takes one bro

deferred case western, ut, gt and got into uva oos

[scenic crypt]

they will if you wrotethe extra essay

i was in a crazy crazy severe depressive episode for half of highschool and then i locked tf in

but bc of it i was getting mostly B's and not doing any extracurriculars

and i wrote about that and then they let me in

[compact heron]

damnn nice

[heady mason]

Were u in state for ut or gt?

[twilit fiber]

oos for everything

[dim remnant]

Were you still auto admit?

[dim rock]

i dont think theyde be top 5% with mostly bs

i had 2 bs my hs career and i am top 8%

[dim remnant]

Idk some schools are wacky

[dim remnant]

Bro I’m so scared cause of external issues I had 6 Bs and only top 15%

[twilit fiber]

did anyone here apply to vanderbilt rd

[dim remnant]

Even tho I wrote about in the extra info section UT cares so much about rank

So I feel like I’m getting rejected

[dim rock]

@scenic crypt

should i live in dobie21

[scenic crypt]

not at all

[scenic crypt]

eugh

well

if youre okay with the worlds worst elevators

and the rooms are kinda ugly and the floors are made of concrete

[dim rock]

i heard above floor 21 is all wood now

[scenic crypt]

shrug idk

[dim rock]

i toured it and it didnt look THAT bad

ide have a private bath

[scenic crypt]

ive been in 2 dobie rooms in my life and they were both eugh

if you care abt that then go for it

im in jwest with a connecting bathroom and its fine most of the time

[dim rock]

which ones should i absolutely stay away from

[dim remnant]

What’s ur major?

[scenic crypt]

biology

but again i had extenuating circumstances so dont compare yourself to me

[twilit fiber]

first rejection incoming

[scenic crypt]

i havent heard anything awful abt any of the dorms

theyre kinda just. rooms you live in

[dim rock]

i heard moore smells like weed 24/7

[scenic crypt]

it might ive never been in there

you pay a lot less attention to ut subreddits and stuff once youre actually at the school lol

oh wait yes i have and uhhhh i didnt smell anything but idk

[dim rock]

wb honors quad

[scenic crypt]

those are all a bit older i believe

and have llcs

[dim rock]

ye ive been in there and i didnt get the hype

[scenic crypt]

i like jester it works for what it is

east is better if you prefer a quiet living environment

kins is probably the best but its girls only

[dim rock]

have u been ran over by a bike/scooter yet

thats my biggest fear

[dim remnant]

I mean same lmao

I’m just kinda worried UT isn’t really as holistic as they say

And focus a lot on stats and class rank

[dim rock]

they are definitely holistic. i wouldnt have gotten into mccombs if they solely looked at my academics

i had a below average sat, gpa, and class rank

[robust grail]

i submitted my medical documents in hopes of them looking at it cause my s1 grades were insanely fucked because of a head injury

[dim remnant]

Yeah but it feels like decisions are kinda random sometimes

Ppl have gotten into MIT but rejected from UT

So if I got an AO reading my file on a bad day then it’s wraps

[dim rock]

well on the contrary, i got rejected from Purdue but into UT

[dry tundra]

how many AOs were having bad days when reading my files gng

[dim remnant]

Is business as competitive as ECE u think?

Or more or less

[robust grail]

majority of the people i see getting rejected but mainly oos

[dim rock]

business is the most comp i believe

this year its gonna be a 7-8% acceptance rate

[dim remnant]

I thought usually CS was

[dim rock]

cs is 14%

[scenic crypt]

i had a girl swerve into me for literally no reason but i dodged

[robust grail]

like i’ve seen so many on the r/utadmissions oos people going for mccombs / engineering with like 1500+ not get in cause of them being oos

corv have you seen arch manning on a scooter

[dim remnant]

Oh right

[dim rock]

arch manning is in moody right

[robust grail]

actually how likely is it to even see a famous athlete on campus

or even like run into them

[dim rock]

ppl on reddit say they have him in moody classes

[scenic crypt]

i wish

[robust grail]

if i saw micheal taffe it would’ve been over for me

[scenic crypt]

i had a friend who had a class with him iirc

[dim remnant]

What do you think helped you get in?

[dim rock]

my ecs, demonstrated interest, and essay

[twilit fiber]

yeah literally me

i got into uva already so im chilling but still

oos ut is so brutal

[dim remnant]

UT cares a lot about fit to major specifically right?

[robust grail]

omg wait no ut is fit to major right

NOOOOOOO

[dim rock]

yes

[twilit fiber]

i mean lowk every school

[robust grail]

oh my hod they’re gonna put me in art school

[dim remnant]

First 2 pages of my resume were all about engineering so hopefully that’s enough 😭

[dry tundra]

intl is worse

[scenic crypt]

they dont consider demonstrated interest

[dry tundra]

wym first 2 pages, how many pages u got

[scenic crypt]

but mccombs is heavily dependent on ecs

[dim remnant]

Yeah but many top schools don’t admit by major specifically

[dim remnant]

5 pg expanded resume

[twilit fiber]

most states do though

[dry tundra]

Resumes r supposed to be 1 page my guy

[dim rock]

nah not mccombs

[dim remnant]

Nah not for UT

[dry tundra]

hes engineering

[dim remnant]

UT requests an expanded resume

[twilit fiber]

holy fuck

is it just me

[dry tundra]

no...

[dim rock]

oh dang i thought that was just a mccombs thing

[twilit fiber]

or does ariana grande sing so beautifully

[dim remnant]

Nope

[robust grail]

all my ecs are art/photography based NOOO

[robust grail]

i don’t play about my queen

i love ariana

[scenic crypt]

bro youre in the ut admissions thread

[robust grail]

WAIT

[dim remnant]

You can search it up online if u want

[twilit fiber]

bruh im listening to her song

and it's so good

[dry tundra]

thats what im doing

[dim rock]

dang

i did like 3 visits

[scenic crypt]

same

they dont gaf tho

[dry tundra]

@dim remnant

do u see something i dont?

[dim rock]

i mentioned in my supp that i was writing it in the PCL

for mccombs if u dont do an expanded resume they pretty much auto reject u

[robust grail]

IT WONT SEND IN DMS BUT WAIT

[twilit fiber]

my first ever confettis bro

[robust grail]

the file was too big

[twilit fiber]

no way

[dry tundra]

i wish i could see them too

....

[twilit fiber]

i love ariana too

[twilit fiber]

bro

i got 7 deferrals

it's coming

dont worry

[dry tundra]

@dim remnant ?

[twilit fiber]

wait

do you like 34+35?

[robust grail]

positions in general is my fav album

[twilit fiber]

bro im a straight guy but it's such a fking fire song

[twilit fiber]

yoo twin

[robust grail]

for good luck guys

[real patrol]

I put it in the circumstances setction

[twilit fiber]

i already accepted my rejection tbh

[real patrol]

I was on an h4 so I couldn’t fill fafsa or get internships
I also highkey moved in from a different continent in freshman year
But the most important is prolly the fact I couldn’t choose my freshman courses so no APs or adv, even tho I requested them

[dry tundra]

then withdraw

[dim rock]

i looked it up and its still needs to be expanded to go in depth and everything

[real patrol]

The implications of the last are kinda obvious

[twilit fiber]

ill withdraw if i get into vandy ed2

[real patrol]

I couldn’t rank bc of that

[dry tundra]

source?

[dim rock]

"Include details about what each activity involved rather than a general description." that part alone generally takes up half a page per activity. also in an admissions seminar that i went to in person they talked about it more in depth and that it should be expanded ie 4+ pages long

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1AAxuHXOB0

not a first hand source but still helpful information ^

[dry tundra]

so not one real source/proof

[twilit fiber]

imagine i actually get in lmao

[dry tundra]

All these are speculations from agencies

ESM Prep college...

idt u know exactly tbf

Liberal arts...

also this link is for honors...

yup good boy

[dim rock]

Hey i mean at the end of the day it is optional and if you can fit your leadership, achievements, activities, and employment all on one page with "Details about what each activity involved rather than a general description." then props to you

but for me this was just 1/7 pages of my 'resume'

[twilit fiber]

bruh

7 pages????

wtf

[dry tundra]

u dont got a tempelate??

i made mine on LaTeX

[twilit fiber]

bro no way the AO read 7 pages

[dry tundra]

thats how mine looks

i blurred everything but u can kinda tell

[twilit fiber]

how can u blur it

[dry tundra]

i jus blurred it so i dont doxx myself here

[twilit fiber]

ik but

how did u blur it

[dim rock]

he just took a low res photo

[dry tundra]

yeah

[twilit fiber]

bruh how

[dry tundra]

i jus did windows shift s to a very zoomed out photo

i also included links to all my certifications

for authenticity

from LaTeX ofc

ECE 1st, CS 2nd major btw lol

[dim rock]

2nd major doesnt matter

are u auto?

[dry tundra]

oh really?

no im intl💀

[dim rock]

if u dont get into ur first they reject u / dont consider u for ur second

[dry tundra]

icic

[dim rock]

plus even if u are auto they wont consider u for CS if u put it as ur 2nd choice major cause of how comp it is

[dry tundra]

icic, im not auto, im intl so its alr

anyway

[dim remnant]

Mine was 5, I heard it’s recommended if possible at least 3 pages

[dim rock]

Yes 3+

[dry tundra]

u have no source to back this info up

[dim remnant]

I had enough stuff to detail for 5 so that’s what I did

[dry tundra]

so please dont make statements

[dim rock]

bro i literally attended an admission event 💀

i heard it from the committee themselves

[dry tundra]

which u have no proof that they said this of

[dim rock]

I didnt record it brodie 💀

[twilit fiber]

i mean i just had a 1 page resume thing

[dim remnant]

You can choose to believe whatever you want. The general sentiment among admits and admission officers at UT is they want a detailed expanded resume

[dim rock]

i have some photos to prove i was there

if u want that

[dry tundra]

nah idc enough

[dim remnant]

This guy is just stubborn for no reason you don’t have to lol

[dry tundra]

im jus saying, unless u have proof to back it up, maybe its best not the make that statement

[dry tundra]

huh

r u sped

[dim rock]

the proof is the mouth from an admissions officer

thats pretty reliable if u ask me

[dry tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/stop-it-enough-i-dont-care-i-dont-want-to-hear-it-shut-up-gif-13480059

[dim remnant]

Ur the same guy that kept saying a real photo from a UT admitted student session abt CS acceptance rate was false

So I guess just keep believing what you want

[dry tundra]

which it is, if u think out of 100k applicants, only 6607 applied CS

ur jus sped

anyone with a brain can see how untrue that is

[dim rock]

u only get considered for ur major after u get accepted into the university💀

[twilit fiber]

this kinda makes sense tbh

[serene sparrow]

This guy deadass js filled w hate for no reason he does this in like every thread 😭✌️

[dim remnant]

Okay what’s your source for that? Don’t have one do you?

[dry tundra]

finally someone with a brain

[scenic crypt]

no this makes sense

[twilit fiber]

no like it makes sense 6600 applied to cs

[dry tundra]

brain>>>

[dim remnant]

Ong

[scenic crypt]

bro

dude

be so for real

our cs class is around 400-500 people per year

with an acceptance rate hovering around 15% that math checks out

[twilit fiber]

people applying to UT have a wide range of interests and 7% is already a good chunk

[desert bolt]

Damn mine was 2.5 pages

[twilit fiber]

engineering prob another 20-30%

[scenic crypt]

yep

[twilit fiber]

humanities

[scenic crypt]

eng is higher than cs

[twilit fiber]

arts

[dry tundra]

U DEADASS THINK ONLY 6607 ppl applied for CS at a t5 CS uni?

be so fr

[scenic crypt]

yep!

[dry tundra]

my god all yall sped

[scenic crypt]

cs is dropping

[twilit fiber]

bro

[dim remnant]

It doesn’t have to be that long, I just did it cause I was able to

[scenic crypt]

i got into this school buddy

[twilit fiber]

cs is one major out of the hundreds of majors they have

[scenic crypt]

i know more than you do

[twilit fiber]

7% is a huge chunk

lmao

other engineering majors prob takes up 20-30%

[serene sparrow]

Aura🥹🥹

[twilit fiber]

and then the rest is natural sciences + arts + humanities

[scenic crypt]

our engineering school is pretty big iirc

bio is also a large group

[desert bolt]

Do you think the resume being less than 3 pages will be a negative factor?

[dim rock]

no as long as u went in detail

[dim remnant]

I think CS numbers are dropping cause ppl realize how cooked the market is

[scenic crypt]

^

[dim remnant]

No 5 pages means nothing if it’s all fluff

[twilit fiber]

lowk i came in terms w my rejection already

[dim remnant]

Quality > quantity

[twilit fiber]

got into uva already so irdm'

just begging for vanderbilt

[dim remnant]

UVA is tough bro

Nice

[twilit fiber]

thx bro

[lyric tendon]

have you seen gt decline?

[dim remnant]

I’m begging for Rice lol

[native mango]

WHAT i thought colleges insta reject u if u say anything ab mental health issues

[twilit fiber]

praying for u man

[dim remnant]

Not if you outline how you deal/recovered from it (if you haven’t dealt with it yet just lie at that point honestly 😭 )

Cause it’s true they don’t want a liability

[scenic crypt]

nah thank god 😭

[dim remnant]

Thanks bro hope u get vandy

[twilit fiber]

🙏

[dim rock]

btw the earlier u accept ur offer for UT the earlier u get a housing contract

regardless of when u did ur housing application

[dim remnant]

Bro I gotta wait for my last decision in April 😭

[dim rock]

i did my housing app in december and accepted my offer jan16. the housing lady said ill get my contract febuary 16

[dim rock]

if u did ur housing app u will be fine

u just wont get a contract till after u accept

[dim remnant]

I didn’t cause I don’t know if I’m accepted to UT yet

[native mango]

lmaooo

[dim rock]

bruh

[native mango]

nice

[dim remnant]

I mean if I get rejected I just wasted almost $100

If I applied so early

[dim rock]

but then if u get accepted ur stuck living off campus and paying thousands of more and not having a meal plan

also idk if u have a fee waiver but if u do then its waived

[dim remnant]

Isn’t living off campus potentially cheaper lol

[dim rock]

https://tenor.com/view/abandoned-house-parched-wasted-house-run-down-house-run-down-neighborhood-gif-20902820

yeah if u live here

[dim remnant]

Also I’ll figure it out, if I get accepted the hard parts over

[dim remnant]

Nah but if you splitting costs with someone

[dim rock]

Still ive looked at west campus and its around 1.3-1.9k a month plus its a 12 month lease

after u split it

[desert bolt]

You can live outside of central Austin

Like in Round Rock or smth
It’s only a 20 minute drive

[dim rock]

i do not trust myself living 20 mins away from campus

i barely have the motivation to drive myself to school that is 4 blocks away from me

[twilit fiber]

bro

if i get into vanderbilt

ill buy a ps5

and ill do nothing everyday

dream life

[scenic crypt]

yes you just have to know where to look

lowkey shouldve lived off campus

[dim rock]

u also lose housing scholarshps

[scenic crypt]

there isnt much 'community' in the dorms

[dim rock]

i have to live on campus cause i get like 2.5k a semester toward housing

and also u dont get a meal plan off campus

AND u have to pay utilities

off campus may have a lower rent but u will still end up spending a lot more in the end

[native mango]

what major r u

[dim rock]

bio

[dim remnant]

@dim rock @scenic crypt Wait if I live off campus I don’t have a meal plan?

I’m not too educated on the living alone for college stuff so like how does that work then

[dim rock]

Correct u will have to buy a meal plan separately if u wanted to

[dim rock]

u buy ur own food

[dim remnant]

Do I just have to buy all my food in my own?

Oh

[dim rock]

yes

[heady mason]

yo guys is ut coming out feb 13 or feb 15?

[dim rock]

and u have to pay utilities

[dim rock]

13th

[dim remnant]

Is that like feasible, I’m kinda assuming not lol so would have to pay for a separate food plan then?

[heady mason]

for me it says 15th tho

[dim remnant]

If I live off campus

[dim rock]

it 13th

[twilit fiber]

did u not get the email

[dim remnant]

Look at ur email

It’s the 13th

[heady mason]

in the email it says 13th in the portal it says 15th

[dim rock]

1st year i wouldnt do it. but thats just me. I want my meal plan and i dont wanna pay utilities, plus i like being close to campus and not having to walk half a mile to get to the campus

2nd year ill consider it since i qualify for SMART housing i may get a good deal somewhere

[dim rock]

its the 13th on my life

[dim remnant]

Portal isn’t most up to date, the email is what matters

Or maybe the portal said BY the 15th

Which means the 13th is still an option

[heady mason]

alr lol

[heady mason]

Oh

[twilit fiber]

imagine if their servers shut down for 2 days

[robust grail]

i wouldn’t be surprised

100k people trying to log in at the same time

mystatus is bound to crash

it’s gonna crash and then they’re gonna push back decision again kek
