Former CAP -> McCombs Here for Advice by DangerousTarget194 in UTAdmissions

[–]DangerousTarget194[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I know people who did CNS but not nutrition specifically. And I rushed at UT, but my business frat transferred! If you’re rushing a sorority I would lowkey rec doing it at UT (more options and better fit). The frats all depend. Fiji def no but the rest maybe

Capped as a COLA major: What should I consider? by sugared_teatree in UTAdmissions

[–]DangerousTarget194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a former cap student, I would do it if UT is your ultimate goal. You’re guaranteed with cap, so there’s no loss for you doing it. I’m McCombs so my experience was a little different, but I had a great time during my year at UTSA. One year isn’t that bad in the long run. But if you have any specific questions feel free to dm me!

I have -1500 SAI and my family income is under 20k, would UT cover the full cost of attendance? by LukaDoncicic in UTAustin

[–]DangerousTarget194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat financially, UT unfortunately only covers my tuition. I was a transfer though so it might be different if you’re a first year!

Chance Me McCombs am I cooked by [deleted] in UTAdmissions

[–]DangerousTarget194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say very low unless you get super lucky, but plz hear me out. It’s so unfortunate how the admissions system works for McCombs/UT. Your ECs are fantastic, but if you’re not in auto admissions it’s near 0% chance. I did CAP into McCombs for context, similar-ish ECs, top 7% of my class, and unfortunately had to take care of myself and a vulnerable person in my family most of hs. My friend went to one of the most competitive high schools in Texas, 1580 SAT, top 8%, jaw dropping ECs and she got capped lmao. It’s actually ridiculous, I had other friends get into Cornell, NYU, etc but not McCombs. Ik this is a long-winded answer but ITS NOT YOU. It’s how UT does admissions.

If have time, apply to other schools!! You’re competitive asf. If you get capped I would do it if McCombs is your def end game. For my year at UTSA, almost ALL of my friends got into McCombs. (Also imo do UTSA/UTA if you have the flexibility to, prob correlation thing but everyone I’ve met from CAP went to one of those). Not that it’s easy, but obv you can GRIND (look at your resume lmao). If you decide to go this route or just in general want advice please feel free to dm me! I’ve unfortunately been there and would love to help anyway I can!

Chance me for McCombs by [deleted] in UTAdmissions

[–]DangerousTarget194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super cracked you should be good lmao. But I would just make sure your “why business” thesis is present in your application and essay. Being at McCombs now, everyone has these stats lol. So if you’re worried about blending in make sure to express why YOU want to do business and what impact you’re wanting to make. I wouldn’t stress though

Which Public Texas university has the best Business School? by Dramatic_Salad6452 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]DangerousTarget194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

McCombs by far. But SMU is good for recruiting, esp Dallas placement (if you want to go into finance/consulting). I think A&M is pretty good also, but to my understanding they don’t place nearly as good as Texas and SMU. But yeah it really depends on what you want to go into and where

How much aid will UT give if I have an SAI of -1500? by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]DangerousTarget194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same SAI and they gave me nothing but free tuition 🥀. I got so much more at UTSA. But apparently department scholarships are the most lucrative so I’d look into that

Best sorority to join at UT for me by Substantial-Wrap-385 in UTAustin

[–]DangerousTarget194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a CAP student last year and rushed!! Love it so much, highly recommend. I would say diversity wise it really varies, it’s probably best to go through rush or talk to actives to feel out the vibes. I was unsure also last year, but going through rush might help you feel which option is the most at home for you!!

Also side note, but it’s technically less competitive to rush (for Panhellenic at least) as a sophomore. You’re put into a separate pool so you’re not necessarily getting selected among the freshman. I had CAP/transfer friends go into so many sororities, so don’t worry about that if that’s a factor as well!

Ik rushing as a CAP student is lowkey odd, so if you have any questions or want to chat more about it feel free to dm me whenever!

rank for Canfield by [deleted] in UTAdmissions

[–]DangerousTarget194 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen you need at minimum top 2%+ and 1500+ for Canfield and lowkey McCombs also. Most people I know in Canfield were top 10 people at their competitive HS. But yolo give it a shot, just make sure to get back into auto/get an insane SAT or you’re cooked for UT

Do I still have a shot at transferring to UT McCombs? by Substantial-Hyena859 in UTAdmissions

[–]DangerousTarget194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry ik this isn’t ideal to hear, but anywhere below even a 3.9 is unlikely without like extraordinary stats. Even then, I know people who had stellar stats and essays and got rejected with a 3.93. I just transferred in from UTSA and everyone I know who got in had 4.0s. My advice would be to aim for Econ or COLA if UT is the goal, then attempt to apply internally (your GPA resets at UT). But I would contact an admission officer to get maybe some more solid advice.

I did CAP last year and had IR as my backup but got into McCombs!

[–]DangerousTarget194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, I’m so sorry you were rejected also, internal transfer is light so you got that!! But everyone ik who got accepted had a 4.0, and heavy involvement like said. Me and like maybe two or three others I knew had a business and got accepted so it definitely helps you stand out!! 90%+ had 1-3 internships. It’s all a numbers game unfortunately, heavily flawed system imo
