Bro ts is NOT a felony

robust grail
#

dude i’m so jealous of schools that can use their phones during lunch or passing period

#

i can’t use mine at ALL

dim rock
#

bro my biggest fear is getting caught with my phone, getting a referral, and getting my offer rescinded

robust grail
#

yours is a automatic referral???

dim rock
#

yes

robust grail
#

we get like. 4 warnings at least

desert bolt
#

Wait are AP scores and SAT weighted the same

For like the T10 schools
Because most of them require all AP scores now

robust grail
#

dim rock
#

#

restive tangle
#

i lowk stopped gaf about the phone rule 2nd semester

#

my teacher lets me use my phone during her class and js tells me not to let anyone know

#

💀

dim rock
robust grail
#

i was paranoid then saw students openly using their phones and i was ok whatever

restive tangle
#

bro i had my airpods in 2nd day of school and i was told to go to the front office.

#

oh my god

desert bolt
#

Bro I have my phone out every class

My teachers don't care

dim rock
#

i bang the pouch in their room with the charger and they dont care at all

robust grail
#

my school doesn’t care about airpods

restive tangle
#

my life flashed before my eyes

dim rock
robust grail
#

i know some teachers care and some teachers care for me

desert bolt
#

My school doesn't even give refferals

They just take your phone and give it back at the end of the day

dim rock
#

bro what

robust grail
#

holding your phone is even worse

dim rock
#

we get a referral, and ur parent has to pick it up + phone call

restive tangle
#

we get a warning

#

😭

#

2 warnings and it's iss

dim rock
#

iss goes on ur record tho

#

right?

restive tangle
#

yes

#

don't warnings too

dim rock
#

yeah so ur cooked if u get iss

#

i already got 1

restive tangle
#

maybe i'll stop usiong my phone in school

#

💔

robust grail
#

guys lowk do dress codes go on your record

restive tangle
#

this rule is act so buns because i can't bring my own laptop to school

dim rock
#

my school dont not enforce dress code for shit

robust grail
#

i was clean until this year

toxic mortar
#

Bro u r not getting rescinded for having ur phone out in class

dim rock
desert bolt
#

Bro I had like 17 absences last semester

They excused all of them and says "You are rank 2 so you were probably being responsible"
I was NOT being responsible

restive tangle
#

😭

dim rock
#

bro wtf

robust grail
robust grail
#

and everything on my chromebook was blocked

restive tangle
#

i was actually so close to being truant

dim rock
#

HOW are yall getting ur absences excused

toxic mortar
#

Getting rescinded is acc hella rare and usually only if u get caught committing a crime or if there is substantial evidence from an authority figure that you lied on ur app or are racist or whatever

robust grail
#

mystatus was blocked and i was emailing the tech department

restive tangle
dim rock
#

they made me do attendance for credit for 5 absences, despite me getting into MCCOMBS

desert bolt
robust grail
#

youtube is blocked

restive tangle
#

great question

dim rock
#

is ut lenient

toxic mortar
#

Once ur admitted the school tried their hardest not to rescind u

restive tangle
#

ik tamu and osu took two applicants even tho they were r/pists

robust grail
toxic mortar
#

Cause it's more of a hassle and uh

restive tangle
#

even tho a ton of ppl reported them

toxic mortar
#

They dont really wanna rescind u

toxic mortar
#

It has to come from ur counselor

#

Or principal

robust grail
#

my absences is so random on series

toxic mortar
#

I've heard anonymous reports literally just go into the trasj

#

Even non-anonymous ones

robust grail
#

aeries

restive tangle
#

im p sure they had some criminal record

#

💀

toxic mortar
#

Unless if it's from counselor/principal/author authority

#

Oh

dim rock
#

i feel like they shouldnt be taken because a lot of reports are just made to sabotage people

restive tangle
dim rock
#

exactly

toxic mortar
#

Lowkey getting sabotaged is kinda scary but it's prob fine

restive tangle
#

i'm lowk kinda scared of telling people i got into my rea

toxic mortar
restive tangle
#

bc of that exact reason

desert bolt
toxic mortar
#

Bro it's discord

#

Ofc nothing happened

#

😭 😭 😭 😭

dim rock
#

ong

toxic mortar
#

When I say you need substantial evidence it means u need substantial evidence

dim rock
#

they have 0 proof that it correlates to that person

toxic mortar
#

Yea

#

Like literally needs to be clearly you

robust grail
toxic mortar
#

Like irrefutably you

errant topaz
#

do top schools actually have academic filters?

#

like i imagine they get a lot of qualified applicants

robust grail
#

how does digital footprint work w colleges

toxic mortar
robust grail
toxic mortar
#

Then they'll prob do their own investigation

#

In which they'll prob comb thru ur social media

#

And whatnot

restive tangle
restive tangle
#

which would go on your record

robust grail
#

oh i see

restive tangle
#

and hence affect your admissions

dim rock
errant topaz
#

id imagine something like that

restive tangle
#

and duke

#

i may be wrong

toxic mortar
robust grail
#

admissions special team

errant topaz
restive tangle
#

but there are filters

toxic mortar
#

To make sure they're right

restive tangle
errant topaz
#

like do they read my app really quickly like mentioned before or just completely disregarded

restive tangle
#

not sure i'll have to look into it

restive tangle
#

and the system filters apps by gpa

errant topaz
#

ok ic

restive tangle
#

or some other academic metric

dim rock
#

yes

toxic mortar
#

But yeah I mean unless you did some fucked up shit/lied on your app and someone has irrefutable evidence and then goes out and contacts your counselor or principal then idt u have to worry abt getting rescinded in terms of sabotages

dim rock
#

I heard for UT ur regional AO puts a pai and ai score, and then the highest scores get flagged for priority review at the school u applied to

robust grail
#

do you think if someone famous went there and did something horrible they’d rescind them

robust grail
#

like let’s say arch manning over here did something highly illegal

#

is it bye bye texas for him or

dim rock
toxic mortar
dim rock
#

not like arch manning but like in general people get their scholarships revoked all the time

toxic mortar
#

Probably

restive tangle
dim rock
restive tangle
#

does ut rlly care about backlash

#

weren't they the only school not to verbally reject the compact

dim rock
#

well he aint gonna be bringing them in money if everyone hates him

robust grail
#

i mean you saw what happened w ou

restive tangle
#
  • haven't t hey been squashing student-led protests on campus
robust grail
#

people aren’t getting hired if they have a ou degree

desert bolt
#

A&M doesn't either

They banned Plato's Republic from being studied recently

robust grail
#

or so i’ve heard

errant topaz
restive tangle
#

maybe, but according to the post, holistic review happens after the inital academic screening

#

it's prob different at each college tho

errant topaz
restive tangle
#

i wonder though

#

how would they account for schools with unconventional ways of calculating gpa

#

like, take allen for instance

dim rock
#

i hate my schools gpa

#

i have a 96/100 but a 3.84

errant topaz
robust grail
#

“That score will determine how much time will be spent on your application moving forward. A student with a really high academic score is going to get a thorough review. A student with a score that is deemed uncompetitive in the applicant pool is likely to get only a quick second look. More on this in a minute.” college admissions are so brutal.

#

im so glad im done

#

im coming back to this thread next year and see how everyone reacts

restive tangle
#

at allen, the gpa is like
100 = 4.0
99 = 3.9
and so on

compared to surrounding schools, where the gpa is calculated as
90-100 = 4.0
and so on

errant topaz
robust grail
#

yeah my school 90 = 4.0

#

grades are really inflated here

dim rock
#

No the way they do it is they take ur core classes, find ur cumulative gpa, then divide it by .25

restive tangle
#

but like, i imagine UT and similar schools have to have a way to speed reading through applications, and that would involve not reading apps below a certain gpa

errant topaz
#

yeah cuz an estimated 100k applicants

#

like holy moly

dim rock
restive tangle
#

but for schools like allen where the way of calculating gpa is unconventional

#

are those applicants just screwed

#

oh right

#

wait im stupid

#

i forgot they do this

#

💀

robust grail
#

no way i, i thought i had a shot w my schools inflated ahh system

errant topaz
robust grail
#

i think? i have a 95.8 and im only like rank 39

#

maybe not that low but you get the point

#

i never understood gpa cause our school sticks to just percentages

#

like my valedictorian is 114.something i believe

restive tangle
#

the way my school weighs classes for the wgpa actually pmo

#

ap classes and dual classes are weighed the same

#

and

#

and

#

only core classes required for graduation are weighed and count towards your ranking

restive tangle
#

so if you take ap bio, ap calc bc, ap chem, ap phys c, or whatever

#

none of it boosts your ranking

#

which is so stupid

dim rock
#

chat recalulated my gpa

dim rock
#

mine is just core classes go toward ur gpa+ranking

#

any electives dont

restive tangle
#

bc like our school's valedictorian literally is coasting thru senior year with only ap lit

#

like

#

???

robust grail
#

i think the reason why my grades are so inflated is because ap / de / dc classes are 10 WHOLE points added to your overall grade at the end of the year

muted elk
#

is ranking already finalized for you guys :o

dim rock
#

Mine is getting updated in a few weeks

restive tangle
muted elk
#

ooo

robust grail
#

nope, my rank locks end of april

#

i need to get my rank up

muted elk
#

waow interesting

restive tangle
#

but limiting ranking to only classes for graduation required classes is so weird to me

robust grail
#

39 is too close to 40

restive tangle
#

hi soraaa

dim rock
#

i think mine will go up hopefully not that it matters

muted elk
#

theoretically i can slack off bc my rank is already set

muted elk
restive tangle
#

i cannot

#

sigh

muted elk
#

😭

restive tangle
#

i lowk wanna lock out but i can'tt

dim rock
muted elk
restive tangle
#

i had a 100 in all my weighted classes last semester and my ranking stayed the same

muted elk
#

i forgot about that

dim rock
#

The job that i want when im older asks for it

restive tangle
#

so if i don't lock in this semester, my rank will drop

#

💔

robust grail
#

i need to go up but it’s so competitive

#

if anything i’ve dropped

muted elk
#

i’m barely scraping top 10% lol

#

idt it matters too much

robust grail
#

i was 32 and now im 39

#

if it hits 40 i’ll be mad cause for i let myself drop

muted elk
#

😔

restive tangle
#

i cannot wait till ranking locks

#

❤️

robust grail
#

no genuinely

restive tangle
#

i will be so locked out after spring break

robust grail
#

in reality i jsut need to stay above 95 so that way i get my honors stoll thing

#

SPEAKING OF

#

oh i am so mad at jostens rn

restive tangle
#

uh oh what did they do

robust grail
#

i was supposed to get my cap and gown in january

restive tangle
#

mhm

muted elk
#

i don’t think i have senioritis in terms of my grades but i do have it in terms of staying involved at school

robust grail
#

they’re giving it to us march 28th.

muted elk
#

i forgot to take senior photos

robust grail
#

i have to reschedule my senior photos which is bummy

restive tangle
#

i literally have no motivation to keep up w my clubs

muted elk
#

yeah

restive tangle
#

like ik that's irresponsible of me

#

but i just can't do ts anymore

#

💔

muted elk
#

i try to escape the building as soon as the bell rings

restive tangle
#

what do you do for senior pics anyways

robust grail
muted elk
#

🧍‍♀️

#

i got left out last year too bc i was sick on photo day and forgot to reschedule

restive tangle
#

i ta for my teacher last period and she just lefts me leave early

restive tangle
#

maybe they'll use your

#

uhh

#

sophomore year picture!!

muted elk
#

maybe LOL

robust grail
#

i wanna change my yearbook stuff so bad

muted elk
#

idrc though i don’t like my school and don’t care if i never see anyone again

restive tangle
#

rightt

#

i'm only going to miss a few of my friends

#

and my teachers

robust grail
restive tangle
#

</3

robust grail
#

like alright didn’t know we were gonna do that

restive tangle
#

very nice

robust grail
#

yes

robust grail
#

it’s the smallest amount of pages cause we’re the smallest class 😭

#

i lucked out

#

senior class is 92, juniors have 130, soph have 117, and freshman have 126

muted elk
#

tiny school :O

restive tangle
#

:(

restive tangle
#

it must be nice having a smallish class

muted elk
restive tangle
#

my senior class is 700 something people

restive tangle
muted elk
restive tangle
#

we'll have to set up a minecraft server or something

robust grail
#

it’s a curse and a blessing

muted elk
#

that’s huge

muted elk
restive tangle
#

yess there's a lot of people

#

hard to know everyone

#

but also there's a ton of interesting people in my class

robust grail
#

if i had to rank myself on 700 i’d be so low cause of how little things my school offers

#

that’s the one thing i don’t like about a small school, i wish school offered and did a lot more

#

like for example we get rid of more aps than keep them

restive tangle
#

yess that's true. but also sometimes it gets a bit suffocating

#

like, with bigger schools there's so much more competition

robust grail
#

for next year they’re getting rid of ap physics and chem cause no one’s taking them

restive tangle
#

wait that's so sad

robust grail
#

and they got rid of ap lang a while ago

restive tangle
#

aw

robust grail
#

i was so sad cause i wanted to take ap lang

#

like the teacher quit the day before school started so

#

for a good month we had a sub who didn’t know what she was doing until my counselor put us all into the de class w ut

#

the rhetorics one which i enjoyed

robust grail
errant topaz
robust grail
#

You did better in some way, which doesn't make you better than other people, but it makes you completely deserving of what your hard work earned you

worn fiber
#

is it difficult to transfer from public health to neuro or bio within cns?

robust grail
errant topaz
robust grail
#

it just makes me wonder like what ut is looking for

#

if not people with ivy league stats then who?

gusty halo
#

its all luck

#

ivies look for different things than UT

#

they’re way more holistic

#

and they have a lot more time to review

minor lagoon
#

#

I have a question

#

Can I send css to ut austin right now?

#

i already got accepted

#

but im lookin for any aid possible

gusty halo
#

yes

#

unless you indicated on your application that you will not be applying for financial aid

#

and/or the deadline has passed

#

oh never mind UT doesn't take the CSS

velvet terrace
#

Yeah UT doesn’t do CSS just fafsa

#

I think

gusty halo
#

that's as much as i can find

velvet terrace
#

I think the financial aid deadline might’ve passed tho 😭

gusty halo
#

yeah that's most likely

ionic knoll
#

alr thx. I'll try finding some scholarship opportunities within UT austin

native mango
#

does the scholarships committe see ur original app

dim rock
#

apparently all texas residents shouldve been capped if they werent admitted. If you were rejected then it was a residency error on UTs part

native mango
vagrant swallow
#

Alr I finally got verified

#

Sure took my sweet time

dim rock

why are cap students posting on the c/o 2030 insta 😭

vagrant swallow
#

All of them look like bums

#

Ngl

#

None of them seem interesting

vagrant swallow
#

"I like meeting new people, hanging out with friends, blah blah blah blah"

#

Tell me something I don't know

vagrant swallow
#

No lie

dim rock
#

cause 90% of the class is texans and most texans looks the same

vagrant swallow
#

True and why do ALL of them look extremely upper class

dim rock
#

why do they all look mid 20's

vagrant swallow
#

And why is it all the same 6 majors

dim rock
#

im only following the mccombs kids

vagrant swallow
#

And all of their bios look the same

#

Legendary amounts of copy and paste

dim rock
#

should i go on there

vagrant swallow
#

NO

dim rock
#

i have 0 good photos of myself

#

i need a roomate tho and i dont want a random

vagrant swallow
dim rock
vagrant swallow
#

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

dim rock
#

only me and the salutatorian got into mccombs and ive never spoke a word to him

vagrant swallow
#

My friends have like this one apartments 15 mins off campus where we've been renting out in the same hallway

#

We have 6 friends there rn

dim rock

vagrant swallow
#

Aerodynamics

#

Gonna replace it

dim rock
#

how is lift created

errant topaz
dim rock
#

yeah all my friends stories were silent on friday so im assuming they didnt get in

errant topaz
#

so is it true that if ur in state, i just get capped? no waitlist or rejecion?

dim rock
#

U can opt to join the waitlist

#

if ur capped or rejected (oos)

#

but yes by all all students who didnt get admission have to get capped

#

this video explained it

errant topaz
#

Kinda dumb that CAP and rejection can both join waitlist

#

No ones getting off

dim rock
#

yeah like less then 0.01% i bet

errant topaz
dim rock
#

@scenic crypt

#

on the first day of class will we learn anything or is it gonna be like high school where all our classes are ice breakers

#

@meager fog

meager fog
#

first week is syllabus week

errant topaz
#

ice breakers of classrooms up to hundreds

meager fog
#

if youre learning any content its gna be minimal

dim rock
#

why do they need a whole week for a syllabus? 🥀

meager fog
#

dont complain

#

it's syllabus + broad course overview

#

if they threw you right into the deep end week 1 that would just be evil

#

although i dont doubt there are prob some profs that do that

dim rock
#

bruh

#

shouldnt they know we are all freshmen

meager fog
#

theres a lot less rigidity in the order/timeline u take classes in college compared to hs

#

ofc you'll talk about all of this with ur advisor at orientation

dim rock
#

what is that like

meager fog
#

orientation?

dim rock
#

like talking to ur advisor

meager fog
#

oh

#

i mean it varies

#

my advisors chill asl

dim rock
#

do u just get assigned random

meager fog
#

we talked about pokemon and our situationships

meager fog
dim rock
#

dang

#

so like are they kinda like ur friend

meager fog
#

i mean ideally theyre not ur opp

#

theyre kinda similar to a hs counselor but hopefully more knowledgeable

dim rock
#

do they like review ur hs transcript and just start assigning classes

meager fog
#

nono

#

you'll meet with ur advisor and you'll talk about what credits to claim + what they recommend you should register for

#

registration is genuinely evil

dim rock
#

im fg so i have no clue what the fuck im walking into. im literally blind

meager fog
#

you're given a time and date and you have to sign up for your classes as quick as possible. its so evil evil evil

meager fog
#

they genuinely discuss all of this at orientation. i think ut does a good job with informing you about the process and supporting ur transition to college

#

you're overthinking it dw

dim rock
#

can i pick professors

vagrant swallow
dim rock
vagrant swallow
#

UT is NOT a school to hire a mentor to get into

dim rock
#

at the end of the day, ur admission decision comes down to a lot of luck

vagrant swallow
#

For aerospace

meager fog
vagrant swallow
#

Your admissions officer has to think you're unique enough

dim rock
vagrant swallow
#

To fight for

meager fog
#

you choose who u register for but some classes will be filled or fill up quick

vagrant swallow
dim rock
# vagrant swallow To fight for

omg ide like to image how thats like. them slamming the paper on the admission committee desk and be like "accept this guy"

meager fog
# dim rock who do i avoid

they talk about this at orientation but u can download this extension called ut registration plus and it shows u grade distributions + syllabi + rate my professor links n stuff

#

on the course catalog

#

if youre curious you can look up like

vagrant swallow
dim rock
meager fog
#

(your major) ut austin suggested course load and itll give u a sample 4 year plan

#

and then just check fall 2025 and spring 2026 catalogs

meager fog
#

i forgot

#

finance...?

dim rock
meager fog
#

ouh right

#

i remember that vaguely

vagrant swallow
#

Business undeclared?

dim rock
#

unspecified

vagrant swallow
#

@meager fog how fast would spots fill up for a smaller department like UT Aero

meager fog
#

this is for

#

finance

vagrant swallow
#

O nvm

dim rock
#

so if i have some of those gen eds done then ill have less classes freshmen year?

meager fog
#

i can tell u a bit more about aero maybe bc im bme

meager fog
#

youll just take classes ahead

dim rock
#

oh

#

are finals as bad as people make it seem

vagrant swallow
meager fog
#

but for your gen eds thats different

#

big classes but good professors fill up quick

vagrant swallow
#

Oh God. Do the advisors give you suggestions

#

Of who to pick

meager fog
#

they might

#

but remember ut registration plus... super awesome

#

i will give sample.

dim rock
#

how quickly have u seen a class fill up? are we talking like 10 seconds or like 2 minutes

dim rock
#

nice

meager fog
#

like

#

1 second

vagrant swallow
meager fog
#

i forgot to answer this earlier

vagrant swallow
meager fog
#

but usually people make spreadsheets or google docs and paste everything as quick as possible

meager fog
dim rock
#

i swear all i need is a good calc professor then ill be chilling

vagrant swallow
meager fog
#

but if you dont have all ur stuff by like 5-10 minutes, u might be a little cooked

meager fog
dim rock
#

so like if i forget to register am i gonna be forced to take the history of pots and pans

meager fog
#

youll be taking like history of pots and pans, guatemalan twerking, and mongolian throat singing

vagrant swallow
meager fog
#

okay so

#

u have the catalog where is where u can search up all the available classes for the upcoming semester. idk when this will come out but it will so you can look ahead of time

#

there's a specific site where you register for classes

vagrant swallow
#

Ok

meager fog
#

you just put in the course id and you can register or go on a waitlist

vagrant swallow
#

So people just copy the course ID

#

So they can paste it

#

Fast

#

And then click the time slot they want

meager fog
#

nono

#

close

#

okay so lets say i wanna take bme 303l

vagrant swallow
#

Ok

meager fog
#

(biomedical engineering design class im taking)

#

theres different ids for different like sections of it

vagrant swallow
#

Ahhhh ok

meager fog
#

i registered for 16000

#

ut registration plus also like marks out the stuff that conflicts with the schedule u plan on it

#

which is awesome

#

but yeah u can see stuff like this and its quite helpful

dim rock
#

ts is so confusing 🔥

meager fog
#

i'm probably not the best at explaining

#

again like you'll be told all of this during orientation

dim rock
#

i feel like a grandma using a phone for the first time

meager fog
#

don't think ur behind the curve

#

most everyones going into it blind

dim rock
#

do u know what westfest is

vagrant swallow
meager fog
#

vaguely

vagrant swallow
#

To get the schedule I want

meager fog
#

im not rlly involved with greek life (?)

vagrant swallow
meager fog
#

let me get mine from fall 2025

#

lwk last semester i coded some weird ass half functional sheet

#

you dont need as much backups as i had but like i wanted to be sure

meager fog
#

dont beat urself up if you dont get one

#

i was used to having a 4.0 in hs and like

vagrant swallow
# dim rock ok so can u translate for me

Okay so basically

  1. download UT registration plus
  2. Each course in each time of day and professor has a unique course ID that corresponds with it
  3. You want to use UT registration plus to find specific classes at specific time slots that have a good professor and high rating on RmP.
  4. Use the schedule maker in registration plus and enter the course ID to make sure you have no conflicts.
  5. On the day of registration have those course IDs, in a Google doc and ready to go and you can paste it into the UT registration page on the day of orientation and get the schedule you want .

****before hand talk to your advisor so you can make sure the classes you need and what classes your ap credits already covered

breaking that first semester of college was rlly disheartening. but its ok.

vagrant swallow
#

That's the gist of what he's saying

dim rock
meager fog
#

maybe like coloring books and stuff idk

dim rock
meager fog
#

let me look at it

#

vagrant swallow

yah

meager fog
#

oh ut website i love it when oyu load

#

okay at least for sprign 2026

#

theres 3 profs for m 408q

dim rock
#

how big are my classes gonna be

#

also where are they gonna be at likely

vagrant swallow
#

Ig we shall see when registration opens or at least the class catalog

dim rock
meager fog
meager fog
#

gen eds can be hundreds of students. think chem 1 and 2 for me have like 400-500 ppl

#

but like ur higher divs can dip under 30-20

meager fog
#

but like classes can be anywhere around campus

#

oh wait i lwk thought u were aerospace guy. whoops

#

for ur business stuff its likely gna be at mccombs i think idk

#

you can see locations on the catalog

meager fog
#

go to office hours

dim rock
#

what is that'

#

ive heard of it and ide assume its just when they are chilling in their office and u can just walk in?

meager fog
#

scheduled times outside of normal class hours you can go to ask the professor or a teaching assistant (ta) questions regarding coursework, questions about the general course, or just have a conversation with them if theyre not busy

dim rock
#

can u ask for help on homework

meager fog
#

absolutely

#

the not evil professors WANT u to learn and encourage you to go to OH if youre struggling

dim rock
#

is it typically crowded

meager fog
#

even if ur not struggling and just wanna review or gain a deeper understanding u can just show up. although i will say depending on how many people there are you get less time with them or a ta

dim rock
#

like am i gonna be in a line of 10 people to ask a question

meager fog
meager fog
#

i know im just saying it depends to everything but it rlly does depend. theres a lot of variability in college courses compared to hs

pastel delta
dim rock
#

wait so am i not gonna have to take like regular calc 1. i just need to take business calc

#

and once im done with business calc i have no more math classes?

#

besides these fin classes which im sure have math

meager fog
#

extremely diverse student population. yah theres a lot of npcs but everywhere has npcs

pastel delta
#

but very happy to have it as my state school

dim rock
#

whats ur major

meager fog
dim rock
#

ut as a saftey is crazy when most majors have a 7-15% acceptance rate

pastel delta
# dim rock whats ur major

biomedical engineering but i would’ve been fine with my second and third choice too and it would’ve been a miracle for me to not get in!

meager fog
pastel delta
#

and at least i’ll have some friends going too

meager fog
#

r u waiting for any specific decisions?

pastel delta
meager fog
#

holy shit lol

#

i applied to 15, mostly reaches too

#

good luck man

pastel delta
#

thank you thank you i’m just happy to have good options even if i get straight up shut out in march lol

dim rock
#

is it true that some people dont use their hs credit so that they can boost their gpa and retake the class since they know the material?

meager fog
#

i think so

#

emphasis on the some though

#

i wouldnt do it if it were me

dim rock
#

yeah

meager fog
#

but at the same time, ur advisor will probably tell u more accurate info given ur major / goals

dim rock
#

im confused what is a lab

meager fog
#

lab is like

#

you either do some sort of experiment or solve problems or smth idk

dim rock
meager fog
#

no

#

chem lab you do experiments and shit

#

physics lab we just do practice problems

dim rock
#

is there a business lab? 😭

meager fog
#

i wouldnt know

dim rock
#

i wouldnt see how experiments could fit under business

meager fog
#

lab is a very flexible term

vagrant swallow
#

What are the chances of that

anyone

#

bro im sorry but jester looks so ass compared to dobie 21

#

@meager fog

meager fog
#

okay here’s the thing

dim rock
#

at orientation, is that the same room that ur staying at during the school year

meager fog
#

yah

#

jester has 2 dining halls. it’s super convenient and it’s like most people’s favorite. very conveniently placed on campus too

dim rock
#

before orientation do u know who ur roomate is gonna be if its random

meager fog
#

dobie is also good imo but they have a roach problem (?) and it’s more pricey i think? it’s like off campus on campus almost

meager fog
#

you’ll only stay like what 2 nights with them it doesn’t matter

#

for ur orientation roommate

robust grail
#

hello kinda maybe dumb question

meager fog
#

for ur actual roommate, i’m pretty sure there’s matching options or maybe it’s random?? idk i live off campus

dim rock
meager fog
robust grail
#

is gone to texas only for freshman students or can i go when i transfer to ut soph year😭😭😭

meager fog
#

during orientation u just stay in jester

robust grail
meager fog
robust grail
#

i’ll watch a video on my tv and pretend or something idk

dim rock
meager fog
#

gone to texas isn’t that crazy based off what people ik have said about it

#

dw

meager fog
#

99% of peoples favorite residence hall lol

#

if i lived on campus i would like to live there

#

but yeah

dim rock
#

but the rooms and furnishing is so ass

robust grail
dim rock
#

i toured both jester and dobie 21 and i dont get the jester hype

robust grail
#

i thought i could maybe cause i’d still be a new student but oh well

meager fog
#

but you live in a building with 2 dining halls so you never have to walk far for ur meals and jcm has later hours than target

#

AND wendys in jester

#

which is open 24/7

robust grail
#

my friend who lives in jester said she prefers it over dobie

meager fog
#

and their coffee place is kinda mid but that’s also a thing

#

jester is like ultimate convenient

dim rock
#

the guy i spoke to at dobie said he would choose it over jester

meager fog
#

not to say dobie is bad

#

but i like jester more having been to both

#

although true the dobie rooms are better but ngl like

robust grail
#

jester possibly can’t be THAT bad

meager fog
#

you shouldn’t be home a lot anyways. always stay busy

dim rock
#

its mainly the private bathroom i like and i feel like the rooms are more spacious in dobie

meager fog
#

private bathroom this is true

dim rock
#

plus if u get a floor below floor 27 i think, then u get modern furniture

#

and if u get a corner unit, then u will have a walkin closet

meager fog
#

awesome

#

dobie has easy access to target and some other places which is cool

dim rock
#

and not to mention its like 4000$ cheapier then jester 😭

meager fog
#

right by guad

#

rlly? i would’ve thought its more expensive damn

dim rock
#

its $11500

meager fog
#

but ig considering like the stuff about jester i mentioned before that makes sense

#

again i live off campus and only have lived off campus

#

anyways

#

to each their own

dim rock
#

so during orientation i will have to stay in jester right

meager fog
#

yeah

#

you’ll be put in either jester west or jester east

#

if you’re maximizing ur day though you’ll only be in ur room to sleep and shower though

#

for orientation

errant topaz
lament hull
#

im not wrong

dim rock
#

yeah so for everyone saying "i cant believe i got capped and not rejected" being capped by law is the worst possible outcome cause nobody should have gotten rejected

#

whats crazy is that if ur a lib arts major, u can literally just jack off in high school get a .5 gpa and still go to UT ur sophomore year

lament hull
#

that is even if they r allowed to even apply

dim rock
#

no by law u have to get capped

lament hull
#

by law??

#

what the hell

dim rock
#

yes

#

watch that video

lament hull
#

yea I’ll watch it when I go home

#

if that’s true

#

that is ridiculous

robust grail
#

i cried tears of joy when i got capped idk

ember coral

Usually you’re taken off a waitlist based on who dropped

real patrol
split niche
#

They wanna shape a class a certain way so if somebody who shaped it similarly to you drops you can get in

#

Kinda like an understudy

real patrol
sterile sapphire
#

That's interesting

#

so like lets say they accepted me cause im a pilot, if i dropped would they look for someone who applied to mccombs with a strong background in aviation

split niche
#

There are some schools that do ranked waitlists but idk them off the top of my head but they can disclose it on common data set if so

real patrol
# split niche No

I don’t need to rush it then right, it’s not like TAMU where the earlier I submit the better off I am

#

I applied math major, nobody applies math bro 💔

split niche
split niche
#

Like at some state schools the main criteria is gonna be accepting a similar major if they care abt majors or similar college

#

Bc if a good number of cola kids drop it’s not a good idea to accept a bunch of engineering kids in their place

#

oh i thought it was given that waitlist spots were only going to the major that they needed to fill
