[kind monolith]

You can’t get waitlisted I think

[kind monolith]

[robust grail]

[rustic pumice]

how dumb u gta be to get cap’d from liberal arts

[tropic summit]

damn everyone got capped

[old frost]

my friend said she got in off the waitlist from last year😭

[fallow wraith]

[robust grail]

i’m a liberal arts major bro

[tropic summit]

basically is

[fallow wraith]

capped is lwk overhated

[robust grail]

[dim rock]

[robust grail]

i mean i’m a lib arts major, it’s guaranteed admission to cola so

[toxic mortar]

oh I see

[robust grail]

i don’t mind ngl

[tropic summit]

Utd isn’t cap

[obtuse raft]

Fuckkk mannn 💔💔💔

[vapid tree]

Hi guys, not sure if it’s okay to ask here, but does anyone know of any other Discord channels specifically for international students?

[obtuse raft]

Didn’t get my engineering major 💔

[real patrol]

How do I get on the waitlist

[slate kite]

What was ur first choice? Auto admit?

[real patrol]

Or Appeal decision

[obtuse raft]

Mechanical engineering, 2nd was civil , didn’t get either

Can I anyway try to get into mechanical or nah

[subtle flume]

does anyone know when honors apps come out

[obtuse raft]

Like appeal or waitlist or anything

[fallow wraith]

transfer maybe?

[sterile sapphire]

good luck on waitlist, i only heard of 5 people getting off last year

and im pretty sure appeal is very hard unless u have special circumstances

[obtuse raft]

Nah I wouldn’t waste a year of college just to transfer

[fallow wraith]

i meant internal transfer

like from cola to engineering

[obtuse raft]

I mean how would that work

[robust grail]

since i’m doing cap does that mean i can change my name to ut ‘30 🥹

[obtuse raft]

Wouldn’t I like waste a year of engineering

[obtuse raft]

Potentially if ur major is very uncommon at UT and ur gonna get it

Or idk how that works

[robust grail]

what if i’m in a cola major and im going into cola anyways

[robust grail]

government

[fallow wraith]

https://students.engr.utexas.edu/policies-forms/change-major-transfer

[sterile sapphire]

[sterile sapphire]

It might not be out rn

Also I'm playing val

[old lark]

But u can try to contact admissions and ask them since they said if it’s because of that they said they can take a look @echo laurel

Yea

Yea

[ember coral]

I’m on a plane so I don’t wanna check rn

[old lark]

[real patrol]

How hard is transfer application

[lament hull]

ye

[native mango]

UT CS

[sterile sapphire]

Ut college station

[sterile sapphire]

Hard, but transferring from same major or internal is easier

[real patrol]

No like if I went to A&M for a year how hard is it to transfer to UT

[sterile sapphire]

That's what I said

[real patrol]

I’d just wanna transfer from Tamu math to UT math

[restive tangle]

thank uuu

🫂

[ember coral]

I didn’t receive an email yet tho

Like about application status update

[real patrol]

I didn’t either

[ember coral]

Oh ok

[real patrol]

Just log in to my status

[ember coral]

Nah imma wait a bit

[somber quiver]

you know it

[drifting pelican]

Yeah wtf

Makes no sense

Literally 0 sense

[fallow wraith]

hasn’t come out for in state too

[somber quiver]

these applications feel different i feel like im js missing something on my applications

like it’s not stats i have a 1570 and im top 3%

[drifting pelican]

Idk I felt the same way but literally nothing

[somber quiver]

i think i have a good ecs

but so far

[drifting pelican]

The only thing would be essays and I don’t have any red flags

My ECs were also really good

[somber quiver]

deferred purdue, rejected uiuc and gt, cola ut

[drifting pelican]

Maybe it just wasn’t destined to happen

[somber quiver]

like

[pale trench]

Woah this is my first rejection

I lowkey expected it tho

[somber quiver]

obvs i’m not expecting to get in everywhere

but like

really?

[drifting pelican]

That’s insane. I got into Purdue and UIUC , deferred GT, and now undeclared COLA from UT

[trail walrus]

Did ut Austin come out alr

[somber quiver]

nice

[pale trench]

Also I did not say the first rejection thing in response to what u said that was totally bad timing😭

[native mango]

wth noo

[drifting pelican]

Yea and u had high stats and shit so it doesn’t make sense

[real patrol]

I feel like a failure

I AM a failure

[weary lodge]

lol

[sterile sapphire]

A&M

[real patrol]

Not funny

[sterile sapphire]

They might just not have enough space tbh

[real patrol]

All this hard work to go to A&M

17 APs to go to A&M

Moving 15,000 miles across the world to go to A&M

I AM a failure

[drifting pelican]

Idk man it’s really dumb

I mean tbf I did get a full ride to A&M so I’m happy with that

[spring maple]

yo guys i got into Neuroscience + CS

[real patrol]

Grats mate

[spring maple]

what does this mean

[drifting pelican]

Thanks

[spring maple]

am i still considered for honors programs

[real patrol]

Idk what to do I highkey wanna jump off a bridge

[drifting pelican]

Nah A&M’s goated bro it’s great for engineering and stem in general/ on par with UT for engineering, and has better recruiting honestly especially within Texas

[lament hull]

did yoh not apply to better schools??

[grim wraith]

i believe honors comes our later

[glass summit]

why do you care about ut so much

[clear turret]

college is college bro

[sterile sapphire]

Oh hey billert

[lament hull]

fr

[real patrol]

I got into Purdue but Purdue isn’t no UT bro 😭😭

[clear turret]

whereever youre gonan go if you did 17 aps youre gonna be fine

[lament hull]

bro

[drifting pelican]

Being an Aggie is goated for recruiting

[lament hull]

what major 😭

[spring maple]

[real patrol]

Math, applied math

[sterile sapphire]

Bro ts guy complaining about Purdue

Oml

[real patrol]

[spring maple]

[lament hull]

[muted elk]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[lament hull]

bro

purdue is good bro

😭

[real patrol]

I know I never said it wasn’t but

[drifting pelican]

Bro idk how I got into UIUC EE out of state but didn’t get into UT ECE as an auto admit

[weary lodge]

wow

[clear turret]

its all random

[real patrol]

I’ve talked to students there I know and people here and there’s really no startup scene there

[grim wraith]

not sjre about that

[sterile sapphire]

Auto doesn't mean auto major

Fyi

[weary lodge]

my friend 1590 valedictorian mit admit got rejected

[drifting pelican]

And honestly UIUC EE better than UTs ECE program

[real patrol]

Which is a bad thing for me

[glass summit]

legit why does everyone here care about prestige like it's the one thing they determines your future

[lament hull]

from ut bro…

jesus

[grim wraith]

purdue is great for those

[spring maple]

yield prot?

[weary lodge]

nope def not

[lament hull]

they don’t yield protect

[sterile sapphire]

Fr bro

[weary lodge]

oos engineering would they rlly yield prot

[grim wraith]

excuse me? Wow

[desert bolt]

Got in
CS

[drifting pelican]

I knew that but I felt that I was in a really solid position to get my major

[glass summit]

aren't you trying to transfer

[real patrol]

I cared about UT because it’s in Austin, has a good startup scene, and yes, prestige

[sterile sapphire]

Not really

[grim wraith]

w bro

[lament hull]

fr bru

[spring maple]

does anyone know anything about the X+CS program

[clear turret]

prestige is nice man

some peopel fs are too hung up abt it

but its still nice LOL

[desert bolt]

If Stanford, Princeton, CMU, or MIT don't work out

UT it is

[glass summit]

employer prestige > school prestige

[drifting pelican]

Ig im lucky in the sense that for engineering prestige matters a lot less

[sterile sapphire]

Like ngl I the only thing I don't like about tamu is lack of like asian restaurants 😭

[clear turret]

yeah bless

tryan do econ and you go to instate school bro its wraps

[real patrol]

Wait ur at cstat 😭

Or am I stupid

I don’t even know what’s going on

[ember coral]

Lowk rejected

So not so surprised lmao

[wintry rock]

[somber quiver]

nah it’s chill

[real patrol]

Hey Tamu might reject me as well 😣

[wintry rock]

bro they dont even have a button toclick it just displays ur rejection letter the first thing u see when u open the mystatus page

[spring maple]

yo is anyone cstat

[sterile sapphire]

Hey

[somber quiver]

i didn’t apply to tamu bc of the culture

[sterile sapphire]

And billert

[somber quiver]

js not into all that 😭 but maybe i should’ve js sucked it up for the connections

[sterile sapphire]

I mean there's 80k students here

There's a group for everyone

[somber quiver]

i know but

[spring maple]

ut too brutal everyone got capped/rejected

[real patrol]

I feel inferior to ppl who got into it

Ut

[glass summit]

idgaf about tamu culture
I'm here to learn a lot, get a high paying job, and make some friends along the way

in asap timeline

[weary lodge]

so its wraps

[real patrol]

I feel like less of a human being than those who got into ut

[clear turret]

was ut a safety?

[weary lodge]

nah

i already got into safeties

that i dont rlly want to go to

[clear turret]

what do you want us to say bro

[rustic pumice]

i was j playing i was asw

[clear turret]

sure bro youre subhuman

think what you want

college pickme is insane

[pallid frost]

When will they release financial aid package? We can’t afford oos cost without aid

[clear turret]

never thought id see the day

[glass summit]

Admissions is random
Not in that they roll the die, but that there are 10000 factors outside your control

[clear turret]

they makea university

adn they jsut rolle 2 dice and if y ou get 12 then you get in

3% acceptance rate

[desert bolt]

Isn't Tamu like to the most passionate school in the country

I heard the school spirit is crazy

[sterile sapphire]

Kinda

[spring maple]

its lowkeyh like a cult

[somber quiver]

yea that’s what it was for me

[sterile sapphire]

I was in my physics exam hall and when they said 29 everyone yelled

[glass summit]

the cult part is optional
I have never been to a football game/midnight yell

[somber quiver]

fair

well

too late now

[sterile sapphire]

tamu lwky chill tho

[somber quiver]

if i don’t get in anywhere ig i take a gap year and apply in the uk

since i’ll be able to take esat fo cambridge

[sterile sapphire]

ngl its kinda funny seeing yall having the same reactions i did last yr

[somber quiver]

and imperial

[desert bolt]

iirc in international rankings isn't Oxford ranked above MIT and Princeton

[somber quiver]

they’re basically all the same but yea

[real patrol]

Do you know anything about TEAM offers for tamu

[somber quiver]

and they care more abt stats from what i hear than ivies so that’s good for me

[stone elk]

mickey ahh ranking icl

[sterile sapphire]

no sorry

but i think u can be full tamu student after team

so like cap but real

[agile cloak]

Yo I just got in full ride

[real patrol]

They didn’t even give me team yet

[glass summit]

team just means you take half your classes at blinn Bryan and half at tamu

[real patrol]

I had the option to be considered for team, havent heard anything back

[real patrol]

@glass summit do Yk anything about this

[glass summit]

I think some people got the screen with 4-5 buttons that lets you pick which alternate pathway

[desert bolt]

How did you find out it was full ride
Are the aid offers out as well

[glass summit]

but idk about the selection process

[sterile sapphire]

might be chopped im ngl

tamu is rolling

[real patrol]

Yeah I had that, I chose my option the day of

[real patrol]

So I didnt wait too long

[glass summit]

you'll probably get something out of that

who knows

[real patrol]

If I don’t get A&M either I’m actually just going to drive off a bridge

[spring maple]

maybe email or -1500 fasfa index?

[desert bolt]

Or 40 acres

[spring maple]

All my grades are 89.5-89.9 and my school does 89.5+ as an A. I’m lucky I got a good school. But somehow my gpa is ass cause I didn’t cook earlier on

[torn gull]

it's also nice to not have to worry about cooking or groceries your first year

[spring maple]

anyone else got into CS?

[torn gull]

and dining halls are really good for hanging out with people

[sterile sapphire]

Hey /j

[sick ice]

lmk if u find

[ionic knoll]

I applied cs+neuro Ima see my decision in 30 min

[sick ice]

i got admitted cs + ling

[desert bolt]

Like these are my grades rn
Im missing like 15 assignments

I will turn in all of them like week before the grading period ends and will have a 95+ in everything
I have done this since 8th grade
Might have to change for College

[spring maple]

are you x_cs

[sick ice]

yea

[spring maple]

oh congrats

[torn gull]

nice congrats

[agile cloak]

Do you mind me asking about ur stats

[spring maple]

did u apply to turing or any honors

[sick ice]

if u havent applied by housing by this point ur better off finding a roomate who applied early

[spring maple]

my gpa 4.8

[sick ice]

turing

[agile cloak]

wowzers

[spring maple]

we'll still be considered right?

[sick ice]

i think we have to choose one or the other

[spring maple]

cuz i thought x+cs meant that cs was our second major?

[torn gull]

congrats

[sick ice]

depends what order u did it in

[spring maple]

my admissions thing says "Neuroscience + Computer Science"

but neurosci wasnt even my 3rd choice

[sick ice]

regardless if u apply x+cs u can either be turing or x+cs but not both

[torn gull]

damn the new portal looks so much nicer

[spring maple]

ohh i see

It's a black box

[lament hull]

[random meadow]

Btw I applied to like 3-4 honors programs with the same essay just changed the program name do ygs think that hurt me

[errant topaz]

bro my supplementals were pretty shit, i sent the wrong one too and i had to switch it out like a week before today

[lament hull]

I meannnn

[kind monolith]

I’m not mad or anything im happy asf for them I’m just retrospecting over how I could’ve improved my application

[errant topaz]

idk maybe impostor syndrome but it felt less better ig

[lament hull]

is it like at least somewhat specific for each school

[random meadow]

I was hoping different ppl would read them but yeah it was

[lament hull]

lowkey I’ve seen many cracked ppl getting rejected

it’s rlly js a shot in the dark for some of these schools

[kind monolith]

Ah yeah apparently they said they got help on their essay from their college consultant

I was scared to death opening my fsu decision

[random meadow]

Yeah but see bro after some time you get numbed to it and it's actually fun

Maybe not fun

But its a good way to pass time

[lament hull]

i’m prob gonna do it

[quick briar]

thats exactly how i feel

[quick briar]

ABSOLUTELY NOT

cap is some bs

I'd rather go to a worse school and spend my time doing research

[robust grail]

😭

that works too ig

[orchid stump]

rejected

ut austin for int is like hard as hell

[sinful copper]

fax im int too lmao

[dim remnant]

UT doesn’t even guarantee your major with CAP

It’s so dumb

[real patrol]

If they did I’d choose it

[robust grail]

my og choice was lib arts so im fine going into cola my soph year

if i wasn’t then i would’ve gone to utd but id rather go to ut

i don’t think cap is a bad choice for me

[orchid stump]

any OOS or int got in as CS?

[halcyon juniper]

yea

[orchid stump]

you from norway?

[halcyon juniper]

no im OOS

[robust grail]

why does this school email so late

[orchid stump]

can you share your stats

[halcyon juniper]

uh 1560 sat 4.0 gpa uw

[orchid stump]

how about ecs

and hnors

[native mango]

twin

[quick briar]

I got rejected with 3.9 gpa and 1530 sat

literally started my school's physics c program too

I swear I didn't put a bomb threat in my essays

[halcyon juniper]

im lazy to list them all but it involved abit of advocacy and app development

and for honors, they were meh

[flint bridge]

got rejected from UT Austin rip 😭 🤧

[quick briar]

same dawg

WE are attending A&M bitterly

[robust grail]

it’s okay i sent in the wrong sat score but i got capped

[halcyon juniper]

got rejected from uiuc tho ✌️

[robust grail]

i would’ve gotten in if i sent the right one maybe

[orchid stump]

i got rejected with 1560 and national informatics honors

[orchid stump]

hmm somehow all of my friends and I got in for CS

but you get in UT Austin

[flint bridge]

I heard this really competitive someone got into JHU but got rejected Ut austin

[orchid stump]

thats much harder

[halcyon juniper]

rly

i thought it was opposite

[orchid stump]

yeh

[halcyon juniper]

ik uiuc ranked higher

[orchid stump]

for int at least

[halcyon juniper]

just based on rankings tho

which means nothing

[flint bridge]

I think ut higher

[orchid stump]

nah rankings sucks

the hard level:

UT Austin > GGTech > UIUC for CS

[halcyon juniper]

rly

[orchid stump]

yes

[halcyon juniper]

you would go ut over gt?

[orchid stump]

no

[quick briar]

what are the chances I get rejected from every single one of my top choices bro

[orchid stump]

thats the difficulty

[halcyon juniper]

oh

[orchid stump]

not which school is the best

[halcyon juniper]

i see

thats weird

[flint bridge]

Ga tech > ut austin > uiuc according us news

[orchid stump]

difficulty != quality

[halcyon juniper]

(i got gt as well so)

[orchid stump]

no im saying about difficulty

to get in CS

[flint bridge]

oh

[quick briar]

I hate admissions bro

[halcyon juniper]

ik ut austin admits some small ass number like 10% oos

[orchid stump]

yes

and for CS

[flint bridge]

i applied business so it 7% for me

[orchid stump]

it is very brutal

so congratulations

[halcyon juniper]

thanks

i thought it was smth like 5-6% oos from google

i thought uiuc was 3-5%

[flint bridge]

they mainly admit in state students

[tropic summit]

whyy

[quick briar]

well it's bs for me b/c I'm going to major in physics

if your major is offered by the LAC go for it if you want

but they also don't let you use AP or IB credits

[flint bridge]

physic seriously that low key hard

[quick briar]

I love it and I'm very good at it

so

[robust grail]

really???

[tropic summit]

what r u planning to do w that degree

[quick briar]

yep it's some bs

[flint bridge]

i hate physics

[quick briar]

research and a lot of it

[robust grail]

do you know anything about dual enrollment classes? i did a de class with ut for rhetorics and i was gonna see if i could apply it

so i could get hours faster

[quick briar]

no clue but I'd assume they only want UT system schools

[robust grail]

ohh alright thank you!

[quick briar]

but that's an admissions counselor question

blind leading the blind here

[robust grail]

yeah i’ll google and def call admissions

i have 6 credits for that class i’m not letting it go to waste

[quick briar]

I did NOT do IB just for UT to pull some bs

[flint bridge]

do plan be professor ???

[slate kite]

is ut cs comp

[quick briar]

I would like to but most people who want ot be a prof don't end up

[quick briar]

very much so

[robust grail]

yes bro.

[flint bridge]

oh ok

[errant topaz]

is grass green ah

[quick briar]

its a combination of luck and being smart enough to take advantage of the right opportunities

[flint bridge]

did anyone get in???

[quick briar]

0% acceptance rate

I know like 3 people who got in

[flint bridge]

that tuff

[quick briar]

everyone I know who got in was either auto or applying to the LAC anyway tho

[slate kite]

Like comp to get into? Or very good competitive program

[flint bridge]

the people who got in are mainly liberal art students

[quick briar]

impossible to get in, I can't judge quality for cs bc ik nothing

[errant topaz]

holy crap

🫂

[quick briar]

farming rejects

[flint bridge]

i got reject 3.99 gpa ranked 5 out of 383 sat not crazy 1290 sadly 😭 my ec are pretty stacked tho

[quick briar]

I genuinely think the AOs were smoking crack

[flint bridge]

im not that cracked but i think resume okay

[candid path]

I had a 1570 43 ib predicted and good ecs and got rejected

[quick briar]

international?

[candid path]

but also they cancelled my application and I had to appeal and evtg

[flint bridge]

i have aa degree has well which about 63 college credits

[quick briar]

my school doesnt do predicted IB

[candid path]

so that might’ve affected when they looked at my application

[quick briar]

but ive gotten sevens on my IAs so far

[errant topaz]

now im starting to feel like i got lucky wtf

[quick briar]

I used applytexas so im fried

[quick briar]

did you getg in

[flint bridge]

what major did apply

[candid path]

no I’m a us citizen living abroad

[obsidian acorn]

fellow ib student here and i got rejected asw

[errant topaz]

electrical engineering, in state, 3.55 uw gpa and a 1330 sat

[robust grail]

are you instate?

[errant topaz]

[quick briar]

dang dude

[flint bridge]

oh your instate that why

[flint bridge]

[lament hull]

a dub is a dub who cares abt stats

[robust grail]

ohh i was gonna say

[candid path]

I applied mccombs so idk I feel like they might’ve filled in the seats pretty fast

[errant topaz]

damn i feel bad for oos and intl

[flint bridge]

what then how

[dark musk]

oos?

[flint bridge]

what your rankingt

[candid path]

if that makes sense

[flint bridge]

i mccomb as well

[quick briar]

47/683
I have a 3.9 unweighted and 4.67 weighted

IBDP

and 12 APs

[flint bridge]

oh that why need to top 5 of grade to get direct admsioosns

[errant topaz]

ig it is but still cant help feeling like it

[candid path]

ayy it’s okay we have better coming our way

[dark musk]

non 5% rule disadvantages quite a lot i think

[quick briar]

top 5 is auto admit so I was just in the holistic pool

[flint bridge]

yea

[dark musk]

isnt it like 70% of students came from top 5% rule

[flint bridge]

if were in texas i prob could have got in lol

[quick briar]

am I fried for march admissions (MIT and allat)

[quick briar]

what state

[dark musk]

naw

[flint bridge]

no your guaranteed in but depend on your major

[flint bridge]

florida

[dark musk]

yeah but still ur guaranteed in

[candid path]

huh that’s weird ig maybe since you have a gpa

[flint bridge]

not your major prob

[robust grail]

i’m not sure how admission works on their end but aren’t they in a different pool? or are they in rd like everyone else?

[quick briar]

I applied to FSU bc i have national merit finalist
are you looking at florida's unis

[flint bridge]

i got into fsu, rejected uf 😭 , got ucf, usf,fiu and that about it florida

[quick briar]

oh nice maybe I'll see you at fsu

[flint bridge]

yea

im got deferred ga tech

im still sad

[quick briar]

didnt apply early

but I could never afford ga tech so

wtv

[flint bridge]

i did ea 2

[quick briar]

deferals need to go

just reject me bro

[flint bridge]

lowkey i think ga tec worth lol

price

[quick briar]

nah id be in significant debt with no guarantee of any prospects in physics

[flint bridge]

it alanta plus they parntrer with big tec like apple, microsoft, amazon etc

[flint bridge]

it depend on your major

[quick briar]

its probably an okay gamble if you wanna do something that makes money

[flint bridge]

if do cs or engineering or business i think it worth it, if apply for other maybe not

[quick briar]

I only applied to reach schools that also offer full tuition for my income bracket

[quick briar]

yea

[ruby timber]

I got cap’d, but I’m in the top 5% now (in state) does anyone know if that’s good for an appeal?

[quick briar]

appeals exist?

[flint bridge]

i applied to alot private schools lol bc they offer low income scholarships

[quick briar]

same

[robust grail]

auto admit but capped???
