dude i’m so jealous of schools that can use their phones during lunch or passing period
i can’t use mine at ALL
bro my biggest fear is getting caught with my phone, getting a referral, and getting my offer rescinded
same
yours is a automatic referral???
yes
we get like. 4 warnings at least
Wait are AP scores and SAT weighted the same
For like the T10 schools
Because most of them require all AP scores now
man i submitted 1 ap score
i should actually be scared of this
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
💀
i stopped gaf the second day 😭
i was paranoid then saw students openly using their phones and i was ok whatever
same lmao
bro i had my airpods in 2nd day of school and i was told to go to the front office.
oh my god
Bro I have my phone out every class
My teachers don't care
i bang the pouch in their room with the charger and they dont care at all
my school doesn’t care about airpods
my life flashed before my eyes
i got caught at intake smuggling my phone 😭
i know some teachers care and some teachers care for me
My school doesn't even give refferals
They just take your phone and give it back at the end of the day
bro what
holding your phone is even worse
we get a referral, and ur parent has to pick it up + phone call
guys lowk do dress codes go on your record
this rule is act so buns because i can't bring my own laptop to school
my school dont not enforce dress code for shit
i was clean until this year
Bro u r not getting rescinded for having ur phone out in class
same. we cant bring outside drinks either
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
but you will if you get iss
😭
bro wtf
deadass i’m so mad about this
same twin
and everything on my chromebook was blocked
i was actually so close to being truant
HOW are yall getting ur absences excused
Getting rescinded is acc hella rare and usually only if u get caught committing a crime or if there is substantial evidence from an authority figure that you lied on ur app or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
mystatus was blocked and i was emailing the tech department
RIGHT IT'S SO ANNOYING
they made me do attendance for credit for 5 absences, despite me getting into MCCOMBS
I skipped class to play Video Games cus I was locked out after college apps
youtube is blocked
it depends on the school
is ut lenient
I mean I'm p sure this is most schools
Once ur admitted the school tried their hardest not to rescind u
ik tamu and osu took two applicants even tho they were r/pists
i got dress coded in my cheer uniform which i don’t really understand because i literally got measured and tailored for it like sorry it’s short? get the other girls too 😭
Cause it's more of a hassle and uh
even tho a ton of ppl reported them
They dont really wanna rescind u
Yeah anonymois reports really dont do much usually
It has to come from ur counselor
Or principal
my absences is so random on series
I've heard anonymous reports literally just go into the trasj
Even non-anonymous ones
aeries
i feel like they shouldnt be taken because a lot of reports are just made to sabotage people
Yea
yes there's a lot of jealous ppl out there
exactly
Lowkey getting sabotaged is kinda scary but it's prob fine
i'm lowk kinda scared of telling people i got into my rea
Yea
bc of that exact reason
Lmao
I remember a few people thretaned a kid saying that they would send his discord messages to his college
He had said some bad stuff
Nothing happened
ong
When I say you need substantial evidence it means u need substantial evidence
they have 0 proof that it correlates to that person
throwback to when nicole laeno didn’t get into ucla and her followers harassed ucla aos
Like irrefutably you
do top schools actually have academic filters?
like i imagine they get a lot of qualified applicants
how does digital footprint work w colleges
I think so but in a way where if u dont pass it u just get a really quick read
no literally everyone says “there goes college”
Usually doesnt matter unless it's the case before where your counselor/principal reports you to the school with substantial evidence that you did something
Then they'll prob do their own investigation
In which they'll prob comb thru ur social media
And whatnot
i'm p sure it's because you could get in trouble at school
Ah
which would go on your record
oh i see
and hence affect your admissions
does admissions have like their own investigation unit or something? 😭
id imagine something like that
yeah iirc vandy has one
and duke
i may be wrong
Idk but obviously if there are claims being made against you then someone has to go investigate those claims
admissions special team
like how bad
but there are filters
To make sure they're right
prob just above a certain gpa
like do they read my app really quickly like mentioned before or just completely disregarded
not sure i'll have to look into it
no like, it gets put into a system
and the system filters apps by gpa
ok ic
or some other academic metric
yes
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
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
do you think if someone famous went there and did something horrible they’d rescind them
like let’s say arch manning over here did something highly illegal
is it bye bye texas for him or
Thats happened many times actually
Yeah
not like arch manning but like in general people get their scholarships revoked all the time
Probably
prolly not bc he brings the ut a ton of money, no?
not if UT is getting crazy backlash
does ut rlly care about backlash
weren't they the only school not to verbally reject the compact
well he aint gonna be bringing them in money if everyone hates him
i mean you saw what happened w ou
- haven't t hey been squashing student-led protests on campus
people aren’t getting hired if they have a ou degree
A&M doesn't either
They banned Plato's Republic from being studied recently
or so i’ve heard
what if they get a quick read but see something they like? like due to extenuating circumstances or crazy LORS/ecs etc
maybe, but according to the post, holistic review happens after the inital academic screening
it's prob different at each college tho

i wonder though
how would they account for schools with unconventional ways of calculating gpa
like, take allen for instance
then id imagine actual holistic
“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
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
us ec carried folks are praying
No the way they do it is they take ur core classes, find ur cumulative gpa, then divide it by .25
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
lucky
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
💀
no way i, i thought i had a shot w my schools inflated ahh system
you could be like top 60 out of 92 here and still have a 4.0
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
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
same
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
chat recalulated my gpa
thats kinda crazy
mine is just core classes go toward ur gpa+ranking
any electives dont
bc like our school's valedictorian literally is coasting thru senior year with only ap lit
like
???
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
is ranking already finalized for you guys :o
Mine is getting updated in a few weeks
see i think this is an okay way to calculate ranking
ooo
waow interesting
but limiting ranking to only classes for graduation required classes is so weird to me
39 is too close to 40
hi soraaa
i think mine will go up hopefully not that it matters
theoretically i can slack off bc my rank is already set
hihiii
😭
i lowk wanna lock out but i can'tt
ur finalized high school gpa is still important no?
oh is it
i had a 100 in all my weighted classes last semester and my ranking stayed the same
i forgot about that
The job that i want when im older asks for it
TT
😔
no genuinely
i will be so locked out after spring break
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
uh oh what did they do
i was supposed to get my cap and gown in january
mhm
i don’t think i have senioritis in terms of my grades but i do have it in terms of staying involved at school
they’re giving it to us march 28th.
i forgot to take senior photos
i have to reschedule my senior photos which is bummy
me tooo :((
i literally have no motivation to keep up w my clubs
i try to escape the building as soon as the bell rings
same twin
what do you do for senior pics anyways
i think in terms of grades i’ve gotten better, i haven’t turned in a single late assignment at all since November
reall
i think i’m gonna get left out the yearbook bc it was the yearbook pic
🧍♀️
i got left out last year too bc i was sick on photo day and forgot to reschedule
i ta for my teacher last period and she just lefts me leave early
nice :D
noooo wait that's sad
maybe they'll use your
uhh
sophomore year picture!!
maybe LOL
i wanna change my yearbook stuff so bad
idrc though i don’t like my school and don’t care if i never see anyone again
for the portion where i put honors i received i put “surviving whatever life threw at me the last 4 years” because we only had 20 words and people are genuinely putting thier awards😭
</3
like alright didn’t know we were gonna do that
ooo y'all get senior quotes
very nice
yes
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
tiny school :O
wowiee
it must be nice having a smallish class
call everyday 😔
my senior class is 700 something people
yesss
whaaaaaat
we'll have to set up a minecraft server or something
it’s a curse and a blessing
that’s huge
ya that’d be really cute lol
yess there's a lot of people
hard to know everyone
but also there's a ton of interesting people in my class
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
yess that's true. but also sometimes it gets a bit suffocating
like, with bigger schools there's so much more competition
for next year they’re getting rid of ap physics and chem cause no one’s taking them
wait that's so sad
and they got rid of ap lang a while ago
aw
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
i want like a good mix. not too small or not too big.. here everyone knows each other and is in. your. business.
yeah my school got rid of ap physics for ap 2d art
man what😭😭😭😭😭
the one i had is the mechanicus one
i took ap 2d art it’s so free
i took the most butt photos ever and got a 4
got my housing contract
yea i did to
Ik someone with a 1580 and national comps that didn’t get in
These people had good essays bruh
guh

i still find it unbelievable
idk WHY i just feel bad😭
they should’ve gotten accepted if not capped
Nah, no imposter syndrome
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
is it difficult to transfer from public health to neuro or bio within cns?
ooo thank you so much i think it’s just the way im processing like admissions as a whole
Yeah I do too, I just feel like a LITTLE luck played in my favor cuz people with literally Ivy bound stats didn't even get their major 
it just makes me wonder like what ut is looking for
if not people with ivy league stats then who?
its all luck
ivies look for different things than UT
they’re way more holistic
and they have a lot more time to review
is anyone running lasso interest form, i think its due today
maybe the 90% curse plays a huge favor
ts why i took stats and calc at the same time
im ngl im not eligible for anything since im out of state
ohh
ACCEPTED!!
Congrats!
ty
I have a question
Can I send css to ut austin right now?
i already got accepted
but im lookin for any aid possible
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
https://admissions.utexas.edu/cost-aid/financial-aid/ @ionic knoll you can find a link to the admitted student finaid portal near the bottom of this page
that's as much as i can find
I think the financial aid deadline might’ve passed tho 😭
yeah that's most likely
alr thx. I'll try finding some scholarship opportunities within UT austin
does the scholarships committe see ur original app
apparently all texas residents shouldve been capped if they werent admitted. If you were rejected then it was a residency error on UTs part
cuz if they do oh well they just got the same essay
cooked
do /nick
why is ts cooked
Alright gimme a sec
nah boy u gotta put cockrell
😭😭 no cuz it'll be funny if they think is University of Tennessee

why are cap students posting on the c/o 2030 insta 😭
Which accounts
All of them look like bums
Ngl
None of them seem interesting
"I like meeting new people, hanging out with friends, blah blah blah blah"
Tell me something I don't know
Why does everyone look the same
No lie
cause 90% of the class is texans and most texans looks the same
True and why do ALL of them look extremely upper class
why do they all look mid 20's
im only following the mccombs kids
Bro they all look like they have one personality
And all of their bios look the same
Legendary amounts of copy and paste
should i go on there
NO
Do you have friends going there
no they all got capped 😭
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
only me and the salutatorian got into mccombs and ive never spoke a word to him
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
u told me 😭
And 6 more of us
u wake up at 5 am to go to the gym
Yuh
Fuck the gym when I'm in college
Aerodynamics
Gonna replace it
how is lift created
bro i think im the only one in my school
, my friend was just boasting that he could confidently get in but in guessing he got slimed out
yeah all my friends stories were silent on friday so im assuming they didnt get in
so is it true that if ur in state, i just get capped? no waitlist or rejecion?
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
You can also reach out to me directly:

Never in my fifteen years of college admissions have I seen such a colossal mistake by UT-Austin admissions. Top 5% applicants have been denied outright or offered CAP. Texas residents outside the top 5% were dened as well.
I'm K...
this video explained it
yeah like less then 0.01% i bet
Damn UT gotta get their shit right
@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
first week is syllabus week
ice breakers of classrooms up to hundreds
yes
if youre learning any content its gna be minimal
why do they need a whole week for a syllabus? 🥀
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
depending on what credits u claim, u might not be taking classes with everyone else being freshmen
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
what is that like
orientation?
like talking to ur advisor
do u just get assigned random
we talked about pokemon and our situationships
yah
i mean ideally theyre not ur opp
theyre kinda similar to a hs counselor but hopefully more knowledgeable
do they like review ur hs transcript and just start assigning classes
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
im fg so i have no clue what the fuck im walking into. im literally blind
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
dw man
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
can i pick professors
This guy bores me
i agree but it was pretty interesting
Ngl, hiring a counselor to get into UT just means it fried to begin with
UT is NOT a school to hire a mentor to get into
at the end of the day, ur admission decision comes down to a lot of luck
Is it as bad as they say? Idek where and how to find which professors are good
For aerospace
to an extent
That more than ECs or Academics
Your admissions officer has to think you're unique enough
who do i avoid
To fight for
you choose who u register for but some classes will be filled or fill up quick
What's the optimal strat to be as fast as possible
omg ide like to image how thats like. them slamming the paper on the admission committee desk and be like "accept this guy"
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
It's more like 4 dudes in a room arguing on whether it worth it, and then sending it off to the specific major/department and the. They discuss
so if i passed a lot of ap exams is my freshmen year gonna be easier, or are they gonna recommend me take more classes for my major
(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
whats ur major
i forgot
finance...?
u cant choose ur major until 30 credit hours
but yes finance
Is that for McCombs only?
Business undeclared?
@meager fog how fast would spots fill up for a smaller department like UT Aero
O ty
O nvm
so if i have some of those gen eds done then ill have less classes freshmen year?
i can tell u a bit more about aero maybe bc im bme
no ur still going to take like the same amount
youll just take classes ahead
O okay, ty
my bme classes r a bit smaller. youll probably be able to get ur aerospace major specific stuff easy enough. maybe you wont get optimal discussion/lab times but like youll get those
but for your gen eds thats different
big classes but good professors fill up quick
they might
but remember ut registration plus... super awesome
i will give sample.
how quickly have u seen a class fill up? are we talking like 10 seconds or like 2 minutes
less than 10 seconds
nice
Okay I'll download that
i forgot to answer this earlier
Wtf, so u actually need to be on crazy wifi
but usually people make spreadsheets or google docs and paste everything as quick as possible
you're registering during orientation so ur all on the same wifi
i swear all i need is a good calc professor then ill be chilling
What do I do with it/how do I do it tho
some classes do take like a minute tho
but if you dont have all ur stuff by like 5-10 minutes, u might be a little cooked
ut registration plus has a built in planner so u can plan ur ideal schedule. get the course ids for those and also get the course ids for a lot of backups
so like if i forget to register am i gonna be forced to take the history of pots and pans
you Cant forget to register
youll be taking like history of pots and pans, guatemalan twerking, and mongolian throat singing
So do I just copy that into a google sheet, and how does the registration sheet work, is it just find the class, press time slot, and click register?
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
Ok
you just put in the course id and you can register or go on a waitlist
So people just copy the course ID
So they can paste it
Fast
And then click the time slot they want
Ok
(biomedical engineering design class im taking)
theres different ids for different like sections of it
Ahhhh ok
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
ts is so confusing 🔥
i'm probably not the best at explaining
again like you'll be told all of this during orientation
i feel like a grandma using a phone for the first time
do u know what westfest is
Okay so I copy the list of course ID in order of how I want my schedule to work and see how registration plus works with it, and on the day of registration I paste it in one gy one as fast as possible and get the slots I want
vaguely
To get the schedule I want
im not rlly involved with greek life (?)
yeah basically
ok so can u translate for me
Alr okay I got it now, if I'll start developing a schedule when it drops
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
what was ur hardest class
i actually did do one before i made the sheet. whoops here that is
bro i need a 4.0 my freshmen year i will not settle for anything less
for me? m 408d
4.0 freshman year is possible but like
dont beat urself up if you dont get one
i was used to having a 4.0 in hs and like
Okay so basically
- download UT registration plus
- Each course in each time of day and professor has a unique course ID that corresponds with it
- 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.
- Use the schedule maker in registration plus and enter the course ID to make sure you have no conflicts.
- 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.
That's the gist of what he's saying
so for me m408q is probably gonna be easy since its business
maybe like coloring books and stuff idk
fr?
bruh
@meager fog does this look right to you
yah
ty
oh ut website i love it when oyu load
okay at least for sprign 2026
theres 3 profs for m 408q
Ig we shall see when registration opens or at least the class catalog
wait so it shows their grade inflation
grade distribution but ig u can call it inflation
it rlly depends
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
thats crazy
for math and engineering stuff, usually north campus around dean keeton
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
i will say though, if ur like tryna get to know ur professors and get letters of rec and this seems daunting do not be daunted
go to office hours
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?
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
can u ask for help on homework
its usually not in their office in my experience. usually some other room to accommodate if multiple students show up
absolutely
the not evil professors WANT u to learn and encourage you to go to OH if youre struggling
is it typically crowded
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
like am i gonna be in a line of 10 people to ask a question
depends on the class
it can be but isnt always
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
too true lwk so glad i don’t have to go here 😭😭
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
i will say all those co2030 accounts can be misleading. theyre not an accurate representation of what the student body is like
extremely diverse student population. yah theres a lot of npcs but everywhere has npcs
very true but UT was always my safety anyway i don’t wanna go to a super huge school lol
but very happy to have it as my state school
whats ur major
if that's what it says on the site i think so? im not in mccombs though so like idk
ut as a saftey is crazy when most majors have a 7-15% acceptance rate
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!
UT was my safety too. i originally wanted to go to a smaller private school but that didn't work out, but i'm so happy that i ended up here and not elsewhere
bme mention!!!!!!!!
yes if a major turn in finances happens (hopefully not LMAO) i will still be happy to go to UT!!
and at least i’ll have some friends going too
r u waiting for any specific decisions?
i have 21 RDs 🥀 and they’re p much all reaches except for four
thank you thank you i’m just happy to have good options even if i get straight up shut out in march lol
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?
yeah
but at the same time, ur advisor will probably tell u more accurate info given ur major / goals
im confused what is a lab
like the whole semester ur trying to solve 1 problem?
is there a business lab? 😭
i wouldnt know
i wouldnt see how experiments could fit under business
i mean we dont do experiments in physics lab
lab is a very flexible term
I found your comment on Instagram 😭😭😭
What are the chances of that
which vid
people even get off the waitlist at harvard so idk about that
well harvard actually gives people the waitlist... they don't let 80,000 people join it
i’d rather get rejected than join ut waitlist omg
do the ut officers j*rk off in admissions or what
this is
so unacceptable
cap rejection AND auto admits who don’t get there major
wait rejection oos can join?
yes
anyone
bro im sorry but jester looks so ass compared to dobie 21
@meager fog
okay here’s the thing
at orientation, is that the same room that ur staying at during the school year
yah
jester has 2 dining halls. it’s super convenient and it’s like most people’s favorite. very conveniently placed on campus too
before orientation do u know who ur roomate is gonna be if its random
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
no
you’ll only stay like what 2 nights with them it doesn’t matter
for ur orientation roommate
hello kinda maybe dumb question
for ur actual roommate, i’m pretty sure there’s matching options or maybe it’s random?? idk i live off campus
wait im confused, if ur staying in that room the whole school year, then arent u having the same roomate during orientation
ur not staying in that room the whole time school year
is gone to texas only for freshman students or can i go when i transfer to ut soph year😭😭😭
during orientation u just stay in jester
only freshman

you live somewhere else
i’ll watch a video on my tv and pretend or something idk
so if i have a dobie contract i gotta stay in the prison cells of jester during orientation
jester is like
99% of peoples favorite residence hall lol
if i lived on campus i would like to live there
but yeah
but the rooms and furnishing is so ass
i know but i still wanna experience it
i toured both jester and dobie 21 and i dont get the jester hype
i thought i could maybe cause i’d still be a new student but oh well
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
my friend who lives in jester said she prefers it over dobie
and their coffee place is kinda mid but that’s also a thing
jester is like ultimate convenient
the guy i spoke to at dobie said he would choose it over jester
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
jester possibly can’t be THAT bad
you shouldn’t be home a lot anyways. always stay busy
its mainly the private bathroom i like and i feel like the rooms are more spacious in dobie
private bathroom this is true
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
and not to mention its like 4000$ cheapier then jester 😭
its $11500
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
so during orientation i will have to stay in jester right
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
sentence of all time
im not wrong
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
im pretty sure they wud get rejected bro
that is even if they r allowed to even apply
no by law u have to get capped
😭💔
i cried tears of joy when i got capped idk
so does whatever i write in the waitlist form have to be formal or can i just be concise with it
like i do NOT wanna write more essays rn
It's not that many words
Isn't it like 200 max
hey I was js wondering how is cs @ut
😭
yea
Although there is one ut cs here I think
Nvm bro left
He actually got off the waitlist for CS lol
I was capped, not rejected
Yes
What would a good reason be lol
Like very big stuff
I don’t think they took into consideration my extenuating circumstances fully
ur grades were falsly reported, family circumstance etc
My residency is changing
wdym
Also on my portal when I applied it said international when I’m clearly not
if u were capped then they reviewed u as a texas applicant
By UTs guidelines I’m not international
Oh ok
I’m getting my green card
Is the change
That prolly doesn’t matter tbh
but u were already considered a texas resident
Yeah I was bout to say
What do I say when I’m joining the waitlist
Isn’t there an essay
idek what the prompt is
"Optional: Please share any academic updates in 200 words or less. If space becomes available, we may consider this additional information. "
Is waitlist first come first serve?
No
i just typed up my updates rn and it only took 102 words
I became a teacher aide that’s something new academically
pretty sure its a lottery system
Also no
I can take my time then
ok im just a liar
Usually you’re taken off a waitlist based on who dropped
Do I need to write this like a college essay or what
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
Or whoever rejects their offer right
Oh deadass
That's interesting
That’s what I mean by dropped
Oh sorry
Do I need to make the 200 word essay interesting to read or just actually type in academic updates
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
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
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 💔
There is a solid chance yes although they’re less hyperspecific at some schools compared to other
I applied CNS
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
So what do you think are the steps I should take rn
oh i thought it was given that waitlist spots were only going to the major that they needed to fill
i didnt, but u should ask someone else bc i really dont know
mines 114 words in 3 "bullet points"
What’s the deadline for waitlist applications
I was going to do this too
Idk how specific UT is with their class fit but if they accept applicants knowing their major vs just college they’ll consider it
Like some schools dont consider your exact major
Idk man look online
Yes
Apparently you can apply under a different major for waitlist
Tamu is rolling admissions isn’t it
no dont rely on it. very very very low amount of people will get off the waitlist
One did last year
yes 🥀
Should I still do math? Or should I change it to something easier like SDS
"one" 😂
Very high for cs
Would you be happy completing 4 years in said easier major
Yeah SDS is chill too
Is SDS easier to get into than math?
No clue my point was to not change just for the sake of trying to get in
Hm okay
That’s probably why Tamu cares about getting the waitlist in early
Does it similar to initial applications
But don’t I need to commit somewhere by may 1
Waitlist comes on after may one doesn’t it?
lance i wish you the best when it comes to the waitlist
i didnt get into mays cause i applied november
Thanks a lot, idek why I’m doing this lol
November 💀
Ggs
Oct 15 is like tamu ea
@sterile sapphire how does dis work
nah not anymore
Erm
I think u uncommit from ur current one
i got straight rejected SDS
Idk
😭
how is ut cs building compared to other natural science buildings
Man
yes
I gotta change my name back
you commit somehwere else by may 1
i mean i probs wouldnt even go
uf>ut
have u seen it
maybe they’ll take in account your demonstrated interest? idk how wait list works
and if you get in through ut waitlist you can choose to no longer enroll at the other school after may 1
yes i took the photo i just sent
ohh nice thanks
does it have a food court in there
ok im submitting my waitlist form (computer eng)
i jsut put a short 2 sentence intro reaffirming my interest in ut austin and then 3 bullets, each containing 1 academic acheivement since dec 1st
its 141 words total
😭
Could I see it if you don’t mind
no the nearest is the student services building which is literally next door. it has a chick ful a , sushi, coffee shop, and one more restaurant (i forgot)
i unironically have a friend named ayush who is doing CS at ut
sure ill dm
oh wow
thats
nice
ur friend is set
🙏
is the dining halls better than eating fast food if u know by any chance
or @sterile sapphire
yeah, but just makes me think how much of a buff in-state is for UT
Is this just a LOCI?
i mean that's what's including on ur meal swipe if u have one, so it's the most affordable. obviously fast food is gonna be 'better'
well its what im typing on the waitlist form
unless i should get rid of that intro
im planning on doing commuter
is it still possible to get a meal plan
u can buy meal plans yes
man does everyone know if i’m guaranteed my major for cap.. ik im guaranteed cola but ive read through the entire website and don’t know
maybe i missed it
is everyone in-state guaranteed CAP
nice thanks
if ur major is in lib arts and its not econ or something competitive then yes u will very likely get it
oh okay
yes by law
so i’m good then
but weren't there auto admits getting capped
yes watch the video i sent
oh ok
if i did like engineering or anything else then cola i wouldnt do cap
it seems like such a tormenting process
definitely not
yeah my auto admit got capped, i feel bad for him rip
@dim rock did u alr commit to ut
yes
he can fight it in court if that's the case
wahhhh commitment days
i have some cap orientationthingy this week
i just want the cap form to drop so i can get it over with
class action lawsuits
can we sign up for orientation yet or nah?
the auto admits of texas vs ut
Not yet, all that info is in ur applicant portal
oh ok appreciate it
thanks maddux ill watch it
thank god i got into UT 
subjective
If you had a choice and wanted to do CS
Are you picking UT Turing Scholars or Stanford CS
if ur instate fs go ut turing
Is it a better program iyo
its cheaper
turing aura is p up there
depends on ur financial situation but im personally going ut turing in state
Not necessarily, Stanford can give you a lot more aid depending on ur situation
And Stanford cs is super elite
Nah
I have a friend who’s household income is around 200k and he only had to pay like 20k in tuition
And he had external scholarships
You can also negotiate your amount iirc
200k is like higher middle class I think
Let’s be real guys the startup culture is an added benefit to Stanford cs 😭😭
Holy conversation
UT doesn't care about demonstrated interests
Bro I don't understand rich people, why are you paying tens of thousands of dollars to go to UT just to join a frat or sorority where you have to spend this and more per year and do stupid shit or else you get kicked out
they’re rich they want something to do with burning money
if you're rich and you wanna go to a frat or a sorority just go to smu imo
Tell that one to the frats
😭😭
I'm a stupid Chinese chud who just wants to do engineering
Instead of hanging out with people
noo ut has so many fun engineering orgs
No I mean like I don't wanna join those frat and sororities full of idiots
Ofc I'll still join student organizations
Given the people are competent
ut cs building is hella smelly
not even kidding
there's a weird crayon like stench to it
but the building itself looks nice
yo is there no Indiana mega thread
Does anyone know is the COLA Health and society major is any good
i’m at the cap information meeting rn and there’s soooo many people choosing waitlist
even the advisors are like no don’t do it because it’s very unlikely that you/your child will get off
and no one is listening 😭
god bless the waitlisters man
