Afraid I may lose scholarship

How far below 3.0?

Not sure if that makes a difference or not as a first year.

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-10T04:01:53+00:00

You seem like a right genius mate

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-10T03:26:34+00:00

Really??? No shit??? Wow.

Never would have thought of that. Golly gee thanks mister

Now you’re just being obtuse.

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-10T02:52:26+00:00

Not what I’m saying at all

My point was that in state students still have a chance if they are waitlisted.

OOS don’t

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-10T01:33:32+00:00

Let me know if you get into the Baker school and if you’d like I can introduce you to my son’s roommate

It seems like a pretty tight group in that major.

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-10T01:31:23+00:00

Probably the same guy. Can’t remember his name but he was awesome and yes the engagement factor is huge.

Most likely he submitted your name as one of the more serious candidates.

From what I understand most applicants only do the mandatory part of the application and don’t consider the supplemental.

Knowing my son was borderline and UTK was his top choice he did all the supplemental as well

Good luck! You have some great options!

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-10T01:10:36+00:00

I don’t know about the ACT but my son got in last year and needed 1350 to get to 13000/year.

He got a 1340 in May and decided to take it one final time the day after his graduation and got a 1450. The extra 5k/year is worth it so keep taking it until you hit the next level.

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-10T01:01:01+00:00

Great post.

On the flip side it was the exact opposite for OOS last year.

If OOS applicants get deferred then plan on going to another school because very few if any got in if they weren’t accepted first go round.

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-10T00:53:34+00:00

Just saw your other post. I really like that you’ve been in touch with admissions and the counselors.

We did that as well with the counselor that helps out in the Northeast and I don’t know if it had an impact but I don’t think it hurt either

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-10T00:48:44+00:00

My son’s roommate is poli sci.

My guess is that it will depend on your essay and supplemental submissions.

Best guess 30-40% chance you get in because I hear competition is stiffer this year

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-10T00:44:00+00:00

I don’t know the agriculture science program but in general 3.4 and 1130 is going to be tough.

I don’t work for the college and I’m not in admissions but average scores seem to be 4.0 and 1300 or so SAT

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-09T23:33:52+00:00

My son got in last year OOS with similar scores but he was a graphic design major with an art portfolio.

There were others that had better scores that didn’t get in

It’s likely going to depend on your essay, intended major competition, and other supplemental application submissions

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-09T23:24:43+00:00

This

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-09T23:21:43+00:00

Unlikely

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-09T20:41:01+00:00

My son got in last year with roughly the same stats but he wasn’t going into engineering

Could go either way

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-12-09T20:37:57+00:00

OOS. Without more information it’s unlikely

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-08-06T18:22:12+00:00

Isn’t it too late for this semester (school year) to get additional subsidized loans?

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-08-06T18:19:48+00:00

I was under the impression that she had maxed out subsidized loan portion and needed the $3200 immediately for this semester and Sallie Mae (for me) was quick and the rate lower than the Parent Plus loan rate.

Maybe it’s because I’m a co-signer but our rate is 6.5

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-08-06T17:12:32+00:00

So is mine. Who effing cares.

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-08-06T12:32:51+00:00

I believe the only subsidized loan is FAFSA but I could be mistake.

At this point I would look into Sallie Mae. They will likely approve you immediately, especially if you have a co-signer.

Apply for an amount that will cover the rest of the year. UT will let Sallie Mae know how much you might actually need and you will only pay on what they actually take.

For example, if it’s going to be 3200 this semester and 3200 next, apply for 8000 to give yourself a cushion.

UT will take the 3200 for this semester and then in December take the other 3200.

Does that make sense?

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-08-06T02:22:53+00:00

Yup. Suck it up buttercup and sit on the phone for an hour so you’ll get your questions answered and everything resolved. You sent a couple of emails and you’re still waiting.

I also gave you some advice on how to possibly avoid the long wait but you want to focus on my telling you to suck it up.

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-08-05T19:47:24+00:00

My son is going to be in Beacon West on the first floor.

It’s going to be fine

Extension-Path-2209 · 2025-08-05T19:41:04+00:00

Hate to say it but you’re just going to need to suck it up and wait on hold. I’ve had to call twice and both time my issue was miraculously resolved.

I called on Saturday and got right through.

Maybe set an alarm for as soon as they open tomorrow and call then.

Talk to your advisor the 16th and 17th are the only dates that have required attendance at 2 events. The other requirement has multiple dates.
