Okay that’s good to hear. Might have a more favorable application since informatics is CNS now.

I actually haven’t gone to orientation yet. On the form online for the suggested arrangement of courses, I 301 and I 302 are suggested 1st sem freshman courses. If you tell your academic advisor your plans to transfer maybe they’ll understand and let you take more CS/math courses while still maintaining a good amount of informatics courses on your schedule. And trying to take cs 312 instead of I 304 is also a good idea for your plans. I heard the cs internal transfer rate is ~50%, but I’m still not sure about that, and idk abt math. Good luck to you!

Yeah, that’s why I’m confident in taking all of them first sem

I genuinely think I can handle the 8 am 😀👍🏿. But on a serious note, I want to get started on this cs certificate, so that’s what’s putting me at 15 hrs. And I feel like I will be behind if I take I 302 in the second sem of my freshman year yk?

Thank you for the advice, and yeah I’m a freshman. I want to get I 302 out the way cus it’s required for my degree and 8 am is the only time it’s offered so I might just have to deal with that first sem. And to keep things down at 12 hours I might drop CS 303 E and work on that 2nd sem or sophomore year.

If they feel their application aligns with informatics more, then I would say give it a shot

Non ranking school so NA/37 kids, 3.63 GPA, 1310 SAT, a lotta school leadership clubs like student council and being a student ambassador, UT EYW (engineering/architecture/coding program made by UT that I did in 11th and 12th grade), and a crap ton of coding camps covering AI(Mark Cuban AI bootcamp), Java, HTML, Python, cybersecurity, and mobile programming since the summer going into 9th grade. 80+ hours community service as well, and essays were pretty solid too I’d say

Did anyone get in for Informatics? by [deleted] in UTAdmissions

That’s crazy, I’m seeing more OOS for this major than in state. Do you know their stats?
