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

[twilit fiber]

yeah their ui is so dogshit

lmao

[robust grail]

i remember when i used to take de english w ut i spent a good 25 mins trying to work canvas

[dim remnant]

what date do honors program results come out?

[robust grail]

i think they come around the same time or maybe a couple days after iirc? i remember someone asking the same thing months ago

[desert bolt]

I am convinced everyone on Reddit is just gonna look at RIS and WIO and consider themselves accepted

Those guys are obsessed with those
I have seen “RIS” and “WIO” be mentioned more than the school’s name on that sub

[dim remnant]

i refuse to do portal astrology

if i get accepted, then itll be more hype to see the confetti down on my portal first thing

if i get rejected according to portal astro, then itd be super underwhelming and painful not seeing the official message until later

[robust grail]

what the hell is portal astrology

is that when people speculate

[native mango]

same

[desert bolt]

Ways people try to figure their decision before the date

Like WIO
Tells you what you owe

And if there is a deposit fee there it means you got in

The only problem is this only really works a few hours before decisions release
Yet people on Reddit are already doing it and saying "I'm cooked"

And it might not even update a few hours before that's just how we have seen it

UT might decide to update it later
But whenever they decide to that Redditors will think they all got rejected

[scenic crypt]

ut has a couple vaguely accurate signs but they only show up like 30 minutes before decisions come out

so its better not to rely on them at all

i do have a way to check whether someone with a particular ut eid has been admitted but it only starts working once the wios release i think

Wait what time on the 13th do decisions come out
Considering there are prob 70k+ ppl checking all at once I’d rather be prepared to log in as soon as it turns a certain time vs like a minute after
Don’t want another uiuc situation lol

Yo why is the “learn more” link on the id redacted thing just a rick roll

It was something worse

[ember coral]

Oh

[dim remnant]

Do we know what time Friday do decisions come out?

[ember coral]

What was the ea release time? It’s prob just that

[dim remnant]

Not sure

[robust grail]

here’s the biggest problem with that whole sentence

“redditors”

[pastel delta]

~4:35 CST

[robust grail]

bro thank god i don’t have school friday

i’d be upset for days

[real patrol]

https://giphy.com/gifs/squid-game-im-so-fucking-scared-ali-9uauDJ2xiDIEgBw2Jg

its not gonna go well

[robust grail]

4 day weekend coming in clutch

i’m going to ut dallas deadass if i don’t get in

[real patrol]

same bro

oml

[robust grail]

we can be at the bright orange and white school together 😭

one day i’ll be looking at the ut thread gorging on snacks because i won’t going through application hell again

[real patrol]

if i dont get into UT im gonna feel like a failure

not a healthy way of going about this but

[robust grail]

oh

heyy there’s bigger and better schools than ut

there’s also uhhh

the maroon school

[dim rock]

austin college

[robust grail]

i didn’t even know that school existed

wow

[real patrol]

they yield protected me

they didnt let me in

i hate a&m

[robust grail]

i feel like a chud asking for all these terms

[dim rock]

fuck a&m rejected from mays but into mccombs

[robust grail]

what’s yield protection 😭

[dim rock]

where ur stats are so high the school rejects u cause they think u will enroll in a 'better' school

[real patrol]

Yield protection in college admissions is when a university rejects or waitlists a strong applicant, believing they are too qualified and likely to enroll at a more selective school, thus preserving acceptances for students who are more likely to attend, which boosts the college's "yield" (enrollment rate) and perceived prestige. It's also called "Tufts Syndrome," named after Tufts University, a school often accused of the practice, though many institutions may engage in it. While some argue it's a myth for coping with rejection, many admissions experts confirm it's a real strategy, especially at less selective schools trying to compete with top-tier universities.
'

[dim rock]

holy shit tldr

where ur stats are so high the school rejects u cause they think u will enroll in a 'better' school

[real patrol]

i had a 1410 and im a non engineering applicant theres no reason they shouldnt let me in

[robust grail]

why would the school do that

[real patrol]

selectivity

[dim rock]

to keep their enrollment numbers high

[real patrol]

at least the appearance of it

[robust grail]

wouldn’t they want people with good stats😭😭😭

the world of college admissions is evil

[real patrol]

im so fucking scared

its so over for me

[dim rock]

they do but they know u wont accept their offer if they send it so they just reject you so that their numbers look good and 'prestige'

[robust grail]

lance it’s okay you’re not as cooked at me.

[real patrol]

UT IS COMING OUT ON FRIDAY THE 13

UT IS COMING OUT ON FRIDAY THE 13TH

is this

an omen

thisi s why we arent getting in

[dim rock]

https://tenor.com/view/part5jason-impostor-jason-roy-burns-gif-18099065

[robust grail]

my sat score didn’t come in on time so they’re taking the ABOMINATION of a sat score i have

and it’s bad bad like

[dim rock]

this thread is gonna be so entertaining

[robust grail]

it’s extremely below average

[dim rock]

how did they not recieve it

[real patrol]

abomination and its like a 1450\

[dim rock]

when did they recieve it

[robust grail]

they got it the day after

[dim rock]

[robust grail]

dec 11

you wanan see what they sent back to me

[dim rock]

[robust grail]

MONTHS after trying to contact them

[dim rock]

thats why u gotta call bri

[robust grail]

[robust grail]

[dim rock]

oh

[robust grail]

like i accepted fate

[dim rock]

[robust grail]

[real patrol]

[robust grail]

which is annoying because i got a 1300 flat on the december one

[dim rock]

what was the one that was sent on the 11th

[robust grail]

a 890 because i was going through it that year

i was in and out of the hospital

[dim rock]

no what was the one that they wouldve gotten on dec 11

[robust grail]

oh a 1300

[dim rock]

dang

[robust grail]

it’s way too late now

i included it that i was severely ill and tried to retake the sat multiple times but

oh well

[dim rock]

dang

did u try to do priority sending in collegeboard

or wtv its called

[robust grail]

yeah

[dim rock]

"not guarenteed" there still HOPE

[robust grail]

i really hope so

[dim rock]

does ur portal indicate anything abt the test scores

[robust grail]

yeah

[real patrol]

WE are going to be comets 💔

[robust grail]

i uploaded medical docs and i wrote my third essay about my illness and how being in the hospital from march - june pushed me harder

like everything else is fine

grades, ecs, essays, it’s JUST that sat score i’m worried about

if they use that one then im accepting that $75 reject letter

[real patrol]

what major you apply for

math right

[robust grail]

NO

[real patrol]

or am i thinknig of someoen els

[robust grail]

ID KMS

[real patrol]

lol

[robust grail]

my first choice i did government

and my second choice is studio art

[dim rock]

are u top 5%

[robust grail]

no

32/93

[dim rock]

they wont look at ur second choice then :(

if u dont get in ur first then they reject you

[robust grail]

yeah i’m going to ut dallas

[dim rock]

austin college

[robust grail]

[dim rock]

or txst its like 30 mins

[robust grail]

i did a tour of texas state it’s just doesn’t fit well to me

[dim rock]

i didnt buy any merch prior to decision date for this exact reason ide actually have a mental breakdown and burn all my merch had i gotten rejected

[dim rock]

same i didnt like it

[robust grail]

i didn’t really like the environment

[dim rock]

and its on mount everest

[robust grail]

had i known this before i got sick i wouldn’t have gotten ANY merch

[dim rock]

Where else did u apply? all texas schools?

[robust grail]

yeah i’m not leaving because i can’t afford it😭

i applied to baylor, ut, ut dallas, texas tech, utsa, and txst

[dim rock]

i hate baylor

they gave me barely any aid

[robust grail]

their law program is fire

i wish ut was test optional still ushahawuwhwhajbshahagagaggagagageurh

[dim rock]

i toured ut dallas i liked it honestly

it was my first college tour

its pretty modern

[robust grail]

i applied everywhere test optional besides ut dallas and i got in

well i didn’t get into to txst yet but i know im gonna get in

[robust grail]

except ut dallas got my december sat 😊

[dim rock]

have u been to tech before?

[robust grail]

i’ve been there once and i didn’t like it because there’s nothing there but i was like 10 years old when i went

i pray the AOs have some heart and consider my december sat and NOT my april one

[dim rock]

i think theres a chance

[robust grail]

they better omg

like genuinely

i worked so hard for this and i hate that because my body decided to shut down on me i just basically ruined my chances at getting into my dream school

[dim rock]

should i choose boston university over mccombs

[rustic pumice]

if ur instate fuh no

[dim rock]

wb nyu

im uncommitting mccombs if i get into nyu stern idgaf

[robust grail]

if i were you id do whatever is more prestigious and would get me the most connections so that way ill be successful in life

[real patrol]

i havent bought merch anywhere

[real patrol]

do you have nyu money

[real patrol]

im gonna make a rejection crashout plkaylist

[robust grail]

send it to me

[real patrol]

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7eUpkOcBrkEmDzLvJANAPD?si=3ba01889fb794402

💔

this is not complete

[real patrol]

shojlud i make a ut austin acceptance playlist just in case

[obsidian acorn]

how heavily do they weight the extended resume for mccombs??

[robust grail]

yes

[minor lagoon]

ut resumes should be as detailed as possible. they dont want a copy of ur activity list/awards 😭

[dim rock]

very high

[halcyon pagoda]

my resume was lowkey only 2 pages

☠️

[deep jungle]

I didn’t even upload a resume

Might be cooked

[desert bolt]

Mine too

We are probably fine

[dry tundra]

Mine was 1 page

But it was put rly well

[halcyon pagoda]

I got in ea

y'all will be fine

they won't have time to worry abt the length as long as u have ur stuff

[deep jungle]

if i didn't do a resume is that bad

i lowk applied last minute

[halcyon pagoda]

I theorize UT speedruns reviews so u shouldnt worry abt it

its one less thing for them to review (saves time for them)

[deep jungle]

oh ok

getting in would be nice, but its proabbly not the end of the world

[desert bolt]

Oh congrats

Definitely reassuring

[halcyon pagoda]

yeah don't stress too much theres still so many other schools

[desert bolt]

Wait were you oos

[halcyon pagoda]

nah

but like don't stress abt the resume thing

UT AOs barely have time to read

[desert bolt]

Alr Alr

Im in state auto though

So I think they are probably gonna pay more attention to it
Since they only have to pick the major

But I think mine is fine

[minor lagoon]

it def matters for honors programs like Turing tho

[halcyon pagoda]

same I'm in state auto

[halcyon pagoda]

yeah but we're talking abt undergrad admission

honors it obv matters

[minor lagoon]

im just putting it out there nothing too deep

[dim remnant]

what major were u accepted into?

[halcyon pagoda]

neuroscience

[dim rock]

2 days yall

[deep jungle]

pls SDS CNS 😄

[twilit fiber]

I HOPE

I GET INTO VANDERBILT

TOMRROW

SO I CAN WITHDRAW TS BEFORE MY REJECTION

[desert bolt]

Good luck!

[torn gull]

good luck everyone

[native mango]

we r lowk just in a bote tg matt

[deep jungle]

wait ithought you applied CS

[native mango]

ye i did

i mean like our college lists r so similar so we r like

waiting for each result

[deep jungle]

fair enough

we've applied similar majors tbh so it makes sense

most of my applications are applied math/ stats/ ds / cs and yours are CS

[robust grail]

stats is the only form of math that doesn’t make me feel like ripping my hair out

[deep jungle]

tbf i've only taken up until calc bc but like lwok its not that bad

[twilit fiber]

lowk ti 84 clutches up for me every time

[robust grail]

i don’t even use the ti

i use numworks

[robust grail]

bros taking calc bc and im fighting for my life in ap pre calc

[deep jungle]

i mean im not taking it this year im taking ap stats

[robust grail]

ohh

i wish we had ap stats here i would’ve loved it

[deep jungle]

yea its honestly quite fun

i learn the stuff in 5 minutes and do jackshit the rest of class

[robust grail]

i taught myself stats cause my teacher was buns and i enjoyed it more than anything

[deep jungle]

nicee

thats really impressive

[robust grail]

math is actually bearable when you understand and know what you’re doing

[deep jungle]

i agree with that statement

[robust grail]

pre calc on the other hand my brain feels like a tumbleweed in the desert

[native mango]

stats is like so

hard

to understand

as a whole

ap stats not real

[robust grail]

stats is just really repetitive imo

[deep jungle]

ap stats is very very conceptual

[robust grail]

and the wording for those problems is so much easier to me than a regular math problem

like if you told me to solve something pre calc related i’d look you dead in your face and say no

[deep jungle]

lmao

[deep jungle]

what do you mean by this

[robust grail]

the only ap classes we have for math is ap pre calc and ap calc

i forgot the difference in the two but it’s the one with 10 units and not 8 i believe

[native mango]

it just teaches like plug and chug not too deep or like at least at my school it is taught in a way that does not facilitate actual understanding whatsoever

[deep jungle]

you are correct

because of desmos the class is esentially plug and chug

[robust grail]

ngl that’s probably why i found it easier than any other math class i took 😭

[native mango]

im in data science rn (class after stats at my school) and trying to understand evrything is so hard. like igg this goes for everything but u can choose how deep u want to understand it and i like to choose the deepest possible p much

[deep jungle]

i wish my school had this 😄

i would instantly enroll

[robust grail]

my school is too tiny for any of this

not for comp sci tho, they have so many ap, dual enrollment, and other classes

i should’ve done cs in freshman year

[deep jungle]

i havent taken a single CS class

[native mango]

ikr ts is for u

i feel lucky i suppose

[robust grail]

i took photography classes instead and bsed every thing for the past 4-5 years

[deep jungle]

hey you're making the most of it, thats pretty good

[native mango]

real we have so many cs classes

[deep jungle]

I've taken band for 4 years instead

my friend is doing photography and it seems so fun

[robust grail]

photography’d so hard it’s the biggest part of my resume

i love photography

[desert bolt]

Are ECs the biggest factor when it comes to getting your major?

[robust grail]

yeah iirc cause it’s heavily fit to major here

[deep jungle]

maybe the Why Major essay

but the ECs help with that

[robust grail]

they’re gonna put me the school of fine arts when i ask for something else😭

[peak herald]

ut essays lowk took me the longest

cuz they were the first and i made the mistake of writing abt one of the offerings of a program in the why major so i felt obligated to apply to that program too

and then i started applying to like two honors

yikes

[deep jungle]

💀

i didnt even upload a resume

i applied last minute kinda in RD

[peak herald]

i regret applying ea

[native mango]

fr

[robust grail]

it’s fun for me i didn’t think id like it because i used it as a way to get my art credit and i cant draw for anything…

[peak herald]

lwk wish more schools had fun supplementals

[robust grail]

and also it’s just the satisfaction of being able to show my work

[peak herald]

ut felt like a chore to write

[robust grail]

i have my photo at a restaurant downtown

[deep jungle]

I wrote uchicago for fun

[peak herald]

i was tempted to apply uchi just for the supps

and then i saw the ea acceptance rate

i faded immediatel

[robust grail]

and i’m in the pool for $15k for a photography contest at rodeo so that’s fun

[deep jungle]

you seem like a pretty smart fella tho

[peak herald]

umd was the only ea school that was fun to write

[deep jungle]

you never know

[robust grail]

and then for another rodeo i have a live auction and i get to sell my piece so yay

[peak herald]

i appreciate it but i am not beating that 1% ar 💔

[deep jungle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[peak herald]

i think yale/stanford supps were the most fun to write tho

fs

[deep jungle]

depends on what clicks

[robust grail]

yeah same here

[deep jungle]

aren't you in-state???

[robust grail]

yes

[deep jungle]

or am i confusing you with someone else

bruh

[desert bolt]

My EC essay is also related to CS(my major) so that could help

I also have a very good LOR from my CS teacher

And multiple CS related ECs

Think im good
The only issue maybe be that I was a little too generic in my why major essay

[deep jungle]

are there a ton of people in texas applying to SDS, jsut curious

[peak herald]

wait

ut has their own data science school?

[deep jungle]

im oos and i just applied cuz why the fuck not

no statistics and data science in CNS

[robust grail]

^

[peak herald]

what's sds then

[deep jungle]

statistics data science

[native mango]

lemme ring up everyone in texas rq

[peak herald]

oh

[deep jungle]

ok bro

[peak herald]

i was abt to apply data science ngl

[deep jungle]

i mean like do you know of people at your school applying ds

[peak herald]

but i couldn't write a good why major essay

[deep jungle]

i lowk just wrote about sports

im ngl

[native mango]

a few not much

[robust grail]

ngl people from what i’ve seen most people in texas here mainly apply cns, moody, or mccombs

[deep jungle]

niceee

[robust grail]

i’d like to go to ut because of art culture there

[peak herald]

i think the most fake advice i've heard outta college apps so far is that aos will reject u for em dashes

js wanted to put that out there

[robust grail]

im in between ut dallas or i can just go to a cc in austin then transfer, but i heard that transferring is such a horrible processes

[robust grail]

YESSS

[deep jungle]

i use them sometimes, not often

[peak herald]

everyone b fearmongering but i think my gt essay had like four em dashes and my personal statement had like three or four

i think it depends on how u use them. if it's like it's not just x--it's y

[deep jungle]

i had like 3 in my PS and lke 4 in my GT essay

[peak herald]

then that's weird

LMAO same

i use them as like if i'm speaking out loud idk if that makes sense

[deep jungle]

wait shom is GT your top offer as well

[peak herald]

idk

GT or UIUC

[robust grail]

stupid chatgpt, although idk how people can use chatgpt i feel the most essay prompts are too personal to you

[peak herald]

i htink me and u are in the same boat lmao

i feel like i've seen you talking abt this

[dim rock]

everyone here applies for civic honors for some reason

[scenic crypt]

my essay had so many

but thats just how i write

i hail from the lands of ao3

[torn gull]

i wrote mine before chatgpt was a thing 😭

[real patrol]

Mine was 2 pages, it listed some other stuff but I went into detail about some things but not others

[slender oyster]

hi guys do we know the time for decisions, from last year/ea

[robust grail]

someone here said 4:30 iirc but don’t quote me on that

[desert bolt]

It was 4:30 for EA

[scenic crypt]

around 5 but you'll see if you got in around 3 if a deposit appears in your what i owe

[ember coral]

4:30 cst right?

[slender oyster]

i aint tryna do no astrology already know imma get touched by them

[dry tundra]

uhh can u see dms for a sec

[scenic crypt]

wio is 100% accurate though

[scenic crypt]

sure

[ionic knoll]

What time is it coming out tmr ?

[compact heron]

woooo 1 day

[dry tundra]

theyll send a mail when its out

[real patrol]

We got ours at like 340

[real patrol]

I’m not getting in bruh

[dry tundra]

how much earlier than the decision does the WIO update chat?

[elfin mauve]

a few hours

[restive tangle]

not for ut gng

[dim rock]

you just poked the beast

[restive tangle]

oh dear

[dim rock]

he finna ask u for proof then deny its validity

[restive tangle]

lmao

[desert bolt]

There was a guy in Reddit like this

He was denying official stats from UT and was calling them AI generated

Here

https://www.reddit.com/r/UTAdmissions/s/7Eq3Ab2sUu

[desert bolt]

Official slide from UT btw

[dim rock]

bro what

[restive tangle]

yeah everyone ik who got into ut w/ honors or scholarships had rlly long expanded resumes

[restive tangle]

reddit's an interesting place

[dim remnant]

Is this an email u sent to UT?

The logo looks placed really weird lol

[rustic pumice]

u think UT wld say “Hi this is UT Austin”

like bro

[native mango]

1 day

[patent phoenix]

or day 1

[deep jungle]

He isn’t wrong about CS being more comp than business

But business is top 10 for sure

[desert bolt]

It was last year

According to tour stats I believe

[deep jungle]

Ok, fair, but would it be reasonable to say the CS applicant pool is stronger than business applicant pool

[dim rock]

for the CS seminar though it showed that it had a 14% acceptance rate this year, but but business had 9%

[deep jungle]

Yes I’m not disputing this

I’m just saying could the average CS applicant be stronger than the average business applicant

[dim rock]

Oh i just reread it

this is mccombs admission stats

[deep jungle]

Nice

Did they become test required this year

Oh wait yeah it did

[dim rock]

last year they were as well

[deep jungle]

Yeah that’s why avg drop

[wintry jay]

xo yall kno what time decisions come out

tmrw

[pastel delta]

most likely around 4:30pm central time but i’m just guessing cuz that’s when EA came out

[peak herald]

does my status being down mean other parts of the portal are down as well?

[dry tundra]

No

[twilit fiber]

GUYS

I AVOIDED MY REJECTION LETTER

ENDED THIS ENTIRE PROCESS W 0 REJECTIONS

7 DEFERRALS

3 ACCEPT

[kind monolith]

I’m so scared 😭

[kind monolith]

Congrats!!!

Do yall have any stats for Cockrell

Lowkey the only person ik that got into UT was for BME

[native mango]

i can dm its not leting me send

[kind monolith]

alr

[native mango]

i did

[dim rock]

did you get deferred from vandy?

[kind monolith]

they got accepted I think

[iron rune]

At what time does it come out ppl

[fluid ingot]

is there any consensus on when the decision comes out

[dry tundra]

prolly around 4-4:30 as estimated by EA

[kind monolith]

I’m guessing 5 PM cst

[dry tundra]

i mean jus check ur WIO

and ull know b4 apparently

[twilit fiber]

I got in

[dim rock]

let's go! good job

[dry tundra]

thxs

[twilit fiber]

thanks!!!

[iron rune]

4:30 cst Friday 13th?

[dry tundra]

no, i meant 4-430 est

friday 13th

its all speculation ofc, u will recieve a mail officially when its in ur portal

[dim rock]

sometime between 4-5 last year was 4:30

[rugged drift]

average class rank is brutal

[dim rock]

i got in being top 8.1% if that gives u some hope

also 20 points below the median sat

this year they recieved 21000 applications so its gonna be more like 7% acceptance rate

[rugged drift]

atp im really just wondering like

[dry tundra]

do u think there are other ppl who deserve ur seat more than u but becuz of circumstances like being intl and oos, they dont get it @dim rock ?

[rugged drift]

what ARE they seeking from the applicant pool

[dry tundra]

like with better grades, sat and everything pretty much

[dim rock]

bero wat

[rugged drift]

not a good enough fit if they didnt get it

fit being ambigious on purpose

[dry tundra]

do u truly think that over him jus being instate?

[rugged drift]

clarify

[dim rock]

obviously there are stronger applicants then me, but everyone is unique in their own ways. Im probably the only licensed pilot who applied, tie that with 3 part time jobs, running a business, FBLA president, and graduating a year early--- ide say im pretty deserving

[dim rock]

only 15% of the class is in state non auto, 10% is oos. so the acceptance rates are fairly similar for both non autos and oos

[dry tundra]

and for ints?

like me with a 1510 sat, 3.8 gpa

who will never have a chance

what about us

[rugged drift]

what about you bro

[dim rock]

you would go in the oos pool

[rugged drift]

😭😭😭

[dim rock]

u submitted a 1 page resume btw

[dry tundra]

which i actually worked on, which got me through mutliple rounds in palantir and jane street

jus cuz its 1 page doesnt make it any less "good"

[rugged drift]

holy larp

[dim rock]

well plantir and jane street arent looking for expanded resumes 😂

[fallow wraith]

seriously not tryna diss but i believe those are standard for most mccombs students

[dry tundra]

sorry to bring it to ur knowledge but when applying for internships, they look for 1, max 2 page resumes

if u dont know that as a buisness major, boy u are cooked

[rugged drift]

u just agreed

????

[dry tundra]

neither is ut

for engineering

[fallow wraith]

ut austin wants an expanded resume tho

[iron rune]

what is this yapping gang

[dry tundra]

r u high

[dim rock]

bros a little salty someone got in with lower academic stats then him

[dry tundra]

no, im jus tickling ur brain

[dim rock]

actually only sat

[rugged drift]

"palantir and jane street aren't looking for expanded resumes..."
"they look for 1, max 2 page resumes"

[iron rune]

😭

[robust grail]

bros just here to pick fights 😭😭😭

what are you DOING

[dim rock]

We are literally in a different pool too, he isnt even competiting with my application 😭 im apart of the non-auto in state pool (15% of the class) and hes apart of oos (10% of the class)

[robust grail]

prob over the fact that he didn’t do an expanded resume

[dim rock]

theres no evidence that ut wants an expanded resume buckaroo

[dry tundra]

you are not real

AI

[robust grail]

oh well

too late to make that now

[robust grail]

the difference is that even though i wasn’t sure either, but i still made an expanded resume cause its better than one page that doesnt go into much detail

[dry tundra]

okay, and?

[rugged drift]

i made 1 page

🫣🫣🫣

[dry tundra]

what am i supposed to do, now that im blessed with this information

[robust grail]

if the larger majority says something ill prob do it

idk if it’s diff for intl people but oh well

i’m in state, chances are i go to ut dallas or i just go to austin for cc then transfer

[rugged drift]

get on ur knees and beg for forgiveness for such indignity

[rugged drift]

utd is hs 2.0

especially where im at

its liteeally like

10m from me

[dry tundra]

[real patrol]

Actually it’s prolly better you don’t know

[twilit fiber]

"umm i didnt get rejected by a single college"

[real patrol]

Yes, non auto tho

[fallow wraith]

[twilit fiber]

ur not cooked lmao

[dim rock]

literally u if they actually accepted you

[real patrol]

But non competitive major, I’m applying for math

[twilit fiber]

uva my first real accept lmao

[robust grail]

guys all we can do is pray that my december sat got IN

like actually

[real patrol]

Yo everyone applying math is genuinely just Albert Einstein

[real patrol]

My sat math is only a 700 so it’s lwk low for the math major I’m applying for

[fallow wraith]

bro i knew i was cooked cus commonapp essay some straight ahh

[real patrol]

My personal statement had a carti quote at the end

[dim rock]

purdue has been my only rejection, but in all fairness the major i applied to had a 8% acceptance rate

[real patrol]

This is why I will get in

[fallow wraith]

unpatched method fr

[dim rock]

my personal statement was all about a tiktok quote

[robust grail]

ut is the only school i wrote essays for

[real patrol]

I’m not getting in to it

Ut

I made a rejection playlist yesterday

[fallow wraith]

my ut supps were also cheeks cus they were the first ones i wrote

[real patrol]

Should I make an acceptance playlist just in case

[fallow wraith]

shouldnt have procrasinated to the end

[twilit fiber]

bro

[robust grail]

yes

[twilit fiber]

i got deferred from 7 schools

😭

[real patrol]

Mine were def not the best essays I wrote but they weren’t bad

They were good js not as good as my Ivy essays

[fallow wraith]

deferral aint a rejection ‼️

[real patrol]

And they were on good topics

My most impactful essay is to do with slavery

[robust grail]

i was gonna ea but i knew i was gonna rush writing mine so i just did rd

[real patrol]

And how I’ve helped with recovering records of enslaved peoples

[dim rock]

should i post my ut supp

[real patrol]

I have a feeling UT will love this idk

[fallow wraith]

i felt like my writing def improved later on so at least i feel satisfied with my ivy essays lol

[robust grail]

i’m over here writing about photography holy what am i doing with my life 😭

[real patrol]

My resume had photography on it

Expanded resume

[fallow wraith]

think i saw ur tiktok randomly while scrolling the other day

[twilit fiber]

yall dont understand

how random ts is

[dim rock]

yes they blew up ngl

[real patrol]

I wrote about how I took photos with my Nintendo DSi on it lol

[twilit fiber]

college apps is da so random

[real patrol]

Does UT care if I moved in from a cool country

[twilit fiber]

idk ut deferred my ass lmao

[dim rock]

all depends on how u frame it, did u overcome a challenge, etc

[fallow wraith]

next step is to get that ai essay sponsor money and turn into a college consultant

[twilit fiber]

lowk my essays read hella gpt

for ut

[robust grail]

maybe

[twilit fiber]

it was so fking ass ngl

[real patrol]

Kind of but I learnt something new which is what my essay is about

I moved in from sg

[dim rock]

wait how

i wanna make $ from it

[real patrol]

My personal statement was how moving helped me learn the value of nature but how I also learnt that good things take time if that makes sense

[robust grail]

i should’ve wrote about being a military kid and moving all the time

[twilit fiber]

my personal statement was abt me losing 4000 dollars after trying to become a self made quant

💀

[real patrol]

Lwk my parents hella abusive I shoulda mentioned that somewhere but they also lwk camp my commonapp

Oh well

[dim rock]

my ended with "one day or day one" 💀

[robust grail]

oh

i’m sorry

[real patrol]

I’ve made peace with it it’s okay

[fallow wraith]

i was joking (kinda). my entire fyp is these guys that got into wharton or stanford and now shamelessly plugs some ai site that chances u and stuff

[robust grail]

mine was something about photography and how it shaped my perception of my fear of time

[real patrol]

Wha if I wrote my essay about how much I fucking hate college influencers

[real patrol]

This is cool

[dim rock]

ima become a mccombs admission counselor and charge $50 per consultant

[fallow wraith]

ivy league roadmap

[twilit fiber]

dude

i hate that mother fucker

[real patrol]

We need to stone limmytalks

[twilit fiber]

he said vanderbilt ed2 will be so cooked this year

[robust grail]

maddox make a ut roadmap kek

[twilit fiber]

mother fucker

i panicked so hard

[dim rock]

bet

[fallow wraith]

nah u can def milk at least 1k from parents in highland park or southlake

[real patrol]

Also the reason I’m non auto is out of my hand, I mentioned it in the circumstances spot but idk if they’ll care

[robust grail]

i’m non auto because i didn’t have the motivation to try hard

i’m stuck at top 32

[real patrol]

I wasn’t allowed to choose honors/ap freshman year when I transferred in even tho I requested them

So I lowk couldn’t rank

I went from like a 4.3 to a 5.04

[robust grail]

we don’t even OFFER ap or advanced classes to freshman

[real patrol]

Does UT care about course rigor

[robust grail]

you can only take 1 ap class soph year here

[real patrol]

I have done the utmost to appease the ut overlords

[dim rock]

they put me in ap human geo freshmen year and i bombed that ap test

[real patrol]

I’d have taken 17 by hs ends

[twilit fiber]

no shit bro

lol

[fallow wraith]

yo how gng 🥀

[real patrol]

Freshman can take 2 sophomores can take 5 and juniors and seniors up to 8

[real patrol]

I took 8 in junior year

Worst and best decision ever

[twilit fiber]

guys

if it makes u feel better

i had like

fucking

6 4s on my aps

and like 2 5s

still got into vanderbilt

[real patrol]

Hey I’m submitting these kinds of scores too

[twilit fiber]

but my school doesnt offer ap

[real patrol]

In submitting 7 4s and one 3

[fallow wraith]

its all relative to the other kids at ur school

[real patrol]

The 3 is for AP chem

[dim rock]

actually funny story. our teacher was a military drill instructor, and he taught us for 3 months and then he tried to separate a fight at school and he got 'injured' (he just wanted PTO) and we had subs for like 3 months before we got a permanent teacher, and by then we only had 3 months to learn the material cause we hadnt learned anything.

[real patrol]

I knew 3 people talking 8 aps from my graduating cohort excluding me and one of them dropped

[robust grail]

ive taken/took ap world, ap lit, ap 2-d art and design (photography), ap chem, apush, ap pre calc

i think that’s everything

[fallow wraith]

is that like max amount for ur school

[robust grail]

but my school has jack shit

[real patrol]

This is like the crown jewel of my application stats wise

[real patrol]

Technically?

I’m only taking 5 this year

[dim rock]

i only submitted one 4 🥀

[fallow wraith]

my hgap teacher dipped half way and we had a sub that owned a farm and was the worst soccer coach ive ever had

[twilit fiber]

bro ts my school for vanderbilt

howd i get in

[real patrol]

I lowk wish I did 3 more APs so I’d have a flat 20

[real patrol]

How do you see this lmao

[fallow wraith]

thats really good then

if u can max out then sure

[twilit fiber]

it's basically naviance

[real patrol]

Nobody takes 8 lmfao, most were doing 5 or 6

[robust grail]

did you do them online or does your school genuinely offer that much?

[fallow wraith]

like at my school all the auto kids take 18+ APs so its like impossible to gain ranks

[real patrol]

I’m kind of proud of myself for that

[real patrol]

Our school offers literally every AP except like 3 of them

[robust grail]

jesus

[real patrol]

None online

All in person

[robust grail]

omy i hate going to a tiny school

[dim rock]

ap finance next year 🔥

[robust grail]

there’s like 300-400 of us

[real patrol]

I stuck it thru with all A’s except 2 in 2nd sem

But that should be fine

[robust grail]

AND I LIVE IN TEXAS

[fallow wraith]

same, all except ap african american studies

[real patrol]

The b’s we’re in chem and sum else

Oml fuck ap chem

Bum ass class

[fallow wraith]

we're also piloting ap business rn but they dont get a score

[robust grail]

ap chem i gave up

[fallow wraith]

and ap cyber/ap networking

[robust grail]

we have ap networking here

[real patrol]

I took
Ap chem
Ap precal
Ap stats
Ap research
Apes
Apush
Ap lang
Ap phys1

[robust grail]

whatever the hell that class is

[real patrol]

This was my jr year courseload

[robust grail]

oh my god

[fallow wraith]

bro doing research rn and its such a drag

[real patrol]

It’s so much work 2nd sem lmao have fun

[robust grail]

please tell me the AOs like look into whatever school i go to

[real patrol]

Worth it tho tbh I learnt a lot

[rugged drift]

research so fucking useless

[fallow wraith]

not hard or anything i just wanna sleep all the time

[robust grail]

i look like a bum compared to yall

[real patrol]

Nah it isn’t

[twilit fiber]

guys

fuck school fr

[fallow wraith]

yes thats how it works

[real patrol]

I’m the bum bro 😭😭

[robust grail]

ok thank god

[rugged drift]

one of those classes u def dont need 2 take

[fallow wraith]

results section due in a month and i havent started my study

[robust grail]

i only took like 6 aps and 2 de classes and one of them was with ut

if you’re taking like 15+ i’d def be cooked

[real patrol]

Yes fs but it’s useful still

If u do take it

[real patrol]

Everyone at my school who’s a fit to UT is taking at least 15

[fallow wraith]

feel like its useless if u take just one

[real patrol]

So maybe 30-45 people

I’m boned

[fallow wraith]

cus doing seminar and research gets u that capstone thing

which is kinda useless as a senior but at least i get a grad stole

[twilit fiber]

dude

past 4 years of grinding

finally paid off

[real patrol]

The standard split for a sweaty applicant at my school is
1 freshman year
3-4 sophomore year
5-7 jr year
4–5 senior year

[fluid ingot]

friday 13 is crazy

[fallow wraith]

at my school its even crazier for the younger classes

[robust grail]

i don’t even know who’s fit for ut anymore at my school.. like i’m 32/92 and everyone ahead of me are gpa freaks and obsessed with academics like

[real patrol]

Our school is genuinely a feeder

We let in like at least fifty people last year

[fallow wraith]

like most in my grade do like 15 ish but since theres more ap options for juniors theyre averaging 18-20

[real patrol]

I wish I did 20 tbh

[robust grail]

you’re wishing you did 20 damn lance you’re making me look bad 😭

[fallow wraith]

also i feel like each grade is getting sweatier in terms of skipping classes with exams

i thought it was bad when an 8th grader was in ap precal with me but theres now a 7th grader in calc bc

[robust grail]

wtf??????

[restive tangle]

first thing i see btw

[fallow wraith]

young sheldon factory fr

[real patrol]

No it’s just my stupid (probably) autism I hate odd numbers

I only like numbers that are multiples of 2 and 5

And nothing else

You won’t find a single volume lnob or temperature or anything set to an odd number in my house

[robust grail]

everytime i’m in a2c as a whole i feel like chud teebs

[real patrol]

My sat makes me feel like a chud

[fallow wraith]

yes joining this server is a mistake

[real patrol]

My sat is the only reason I’m getting rejected

[robust grail]

like when a freshman does more things than i did in 4 whole years

REAL

i think i have. okay stats

[fallow wraith]

a2c is an endless hole of dispair and eternal suffering

[real patrol]

700 math when I’m applying for a math major it’s so over bro everyone else has lik 770s

[robust grail]

we’re in a diff boat nvm.

oh my god i need them to look at my december sat and not my april one

[fallow wraith]

i was struggling on sat too but switched to act without studying and did better so i just stuck to act

[robust grail]

oh

[fallow wraith]

december was my lowest one lmao

think i got 1320 or smth

[robust grail]

oh.

[fallow wraith]

dw its relative to ur school too

like if ur above average for school score AOs would take that into account

[robust grail]

i explained this to maddox last night but for a good like majority a year i was severely ill and was in and out of the hospital

and the only sat i took at the time i forced myself to take it

which was my april one and i did extremely bad

then december sat i did way better but it came in late

and i emailed admissions and they said this to me

i’m already doomed

[fallow wraith]

hmmmm

i mean test scores arent end all be all

but that does suck that you had to go through that

[robust grail]

with my april one bro i think it’s time for me to go to dallas

[fallow wraith]

idk if its them trying to be nice but the way they framed the email seems like theres possibly a chance but not guaranteed so idk

[robust grail]

i mean i hope they take that small chance

i was nearly on my deathbed 😭

it’s just irritating cause i worked so hard on my stats to even apply here and i got nerfed by my body self sabotaging myself

[old lark]

anyoe have thhe chart for out of state numbers

[fallow wraith]

theres this chart for mccombs

idk abt oos specifics tho

its prob in here somewhere

[old lark]

@dim rock can i get the non auto chart i remeever posting

[robust grail]

@twilit fiber what was your final reasoning to withdraw from ut?

[dim rock]

fear of rejection

[twilit fiber]

1. im committed so it wont matter if i get in or not 2. i dont want to steal someone else's spot 3. it would be my first rejection

[robust grail]

do i take the chance of risking that they might get my december sat

it’s small but i don’t wanna ruin my day and be emotional for a good week

[dim rock]

bro dont tell me ur considering withdrawing ur app

dont be this guy ^^

literally you if u withdraw ur app

[old lark]

@dim rock yo bro do u got the chart per chance

[scenic crypt]

oh hey congrats

[robust grail]

my april sat let alone is gonna be their first reason to reject me 😭

[dim rock]

what chart

[old lark]

non auto and oos admditance shart

[dim rock]

oh

[twilit fiber]

oos engineering and mccombs is cooked asf

[scenic crypt]

yo dont withdraw unless youve committed somewhere 😭

[dim rock]

the outdated one

[twilit fiber]

especially if ur a male

[fallow wraith]

talking abt this one?

[dim rock]

ye thats what i was thinking

[old lark]

yea thx

[robust grail]

i have ut dallas with aid

also genuinely i think im gonna get rejected

[dim rock]

thats what i thought too

i thought i had 0 chance

like i wasnt even considering me getting into ut as being an outcome. i was settling between u rochester, smu, or u miami

dont withdraw ur app my point is

[robust grail]

yeah but the outcomes of them even considering my dec sat is so small

even with my circumstances

[twilit fiber]

do yall know adam yu?

the fitness influencer?

[robust grail]

no i do not

[twilit fiber]

he kinda inspired me to apply ed2 to vandy lmao

[restive tangle]

i've seen a lot of people get accepted into UT with lower SAT scores, if that helps

[robust grail]

no like mine is extremely low

[dim rock]

i was talking to someone who got pulled from RD to EA for mccombs with a 1090

[restive tangle]

• UT is quite holistic

yeah i recall seeing someone getting into mccombs back in dec's wave with a 1100 something

[robust grail]

guys you have too much faith in me

like it’s genuinely really bad

like really low

[restive tangle]

i feel like ut places more weight on ranking

[robust grail]

i was literally in a hospital room with a proctor and my nurse watching me take the april sat 😭

[restive tangle]

like, a lot of weight

wow i'm sorry that must have been really stressful

having to deal with the sat and like recover at the same time

i hope ut takes that into account for you!

[robust grail]

yeah i did extremely better on the december sat

like a 400 point difference

[restive tangle]

hopefully they count that towards your application!!

[robust grail]

i’m just worried cause they got my score after everything was due

[restive tangle]

hell yeah

[robust grail]

and admissions is a pain in the ass to deal with

so i’m like

[restive tangle]

well, ut is known for being really behind w deadlines

[robust grail]

do i withdraw and save myself the heartbreak now or do i just accept fate

[restive tangle]

seeing how they deferred like 95% of early apps the past two years bc they can't read apps on time 💀

why would you withdraw

you've already paid the application fee

you've already wrote the essats

there's no point in withdrawing

just wait and see how tomorrow goes

[robust grail]

i guess it’s just fear and i know im gonna be extremely upset

[restive tangle]

well, that's valid

but remember there's a lot of other colleges out there that you may be happier at

• i see you've been accepted into 4 schools already

isn't that amazing

[robust grail]

yeah, but still it feels demoralizing for ut at least

i know for sure i want to end up at ut so ill probably end up transferring here at some point

acc

or ut dallas after i tour

the main thing that draws me into austin is the art culture there

[dim rock]

Either you experience heartbreak or you live knowing you quit before the result

call me shakespear

[robust grail]

and compared to the other colleges i toured it didn’t resonate with me as much as ut

txst i have slight beef because i got food poisoning there

[dim rock]

i hate txst

[robust grail]

watch me get capped or something

utsa is TOO close to home like genuinely. i live 15 mins away from there and i want to get out

i’ve been here too long

[dim rock]

nah utd is lowk a good option, just i wouldnt go there cause its 10 mins from my house

ur touring utd u said?

[robust grail]

baylor is nice, their law program is amazing but i’m getting little aid

yes next week !!

[dim rock]

baylor gives 0 aid, and also idk what ur political belief is but lets just say its very 1 sided

[robust grail]

and tech.. there’s not much in lubbock

[robust grail]

that too

[dim rock]

tech isnt bad its just the town that that i hate. its in the middle of a desert but the school and athletics are lowk good

[twilit fiber]

@robust grail are u instate

[robust grail]

yes

[twilit fiber]

u chilling bro

still have a chance

[robust grail]

the drive there was so boring

[torn gull]

don't withdraw

[dim rock]

its like that anywhere u go in texas especially if u driving from elp 😂

[robust grail]

i’ve never been to el paso

[dim rock]

i thought u said ur 15 mins from utep?

[robust grail]

utsa

[torn gull]

el paso 😭

[dim rock]

oh

wait

is there even a utep

[robust grail]

yes

it’s like 100% acceptance rate there i think😭😭

[dim rock]

did u apply to uh?

[torn gull]

i'll tell you more

there's ut permian basin

[dim rock]

omg i saw thtat

shit looks so ass

[robust grail]

[torn gull]

no way

[robust grail]

i do not like houston
