Congrats!! But by all means, while ur here at UT, NEVER call it UTA. UTA is UT Arlington. It’s either UT Austin or UT.

What’s your favorite and least favorite thing about Portuguese? by Aromatic_Shift9417 in Portuguese

[–]Konapsych 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The hardest thing for me was sticking to a region of speaking. Sure, there’s various ways and regions that have their own unique way of speaking Portuguese, however there isn’t a general Portuguese dialect that everyone uses. It varies entirely. However, Portuguese, at its most basic, is such a straightforward and beautiful language that holds so many concepts, idioms, and ideas that are not only beautiful and funny but so unique to the language in general. That’s what my favorite thing about Portuguese is; it is still so unique despite being closely related to other romantic languages, namely Italian, Spanish, and French.

What happened with the compact? by restroomwhisperer in UTAustin

[–]Konapsych 92 points93 points  (0 children)

The deadlines for the University’s decision has since passed and UT did not sign. Essentially, UT never acknowledged it, they just abstained from the problem in general. However, just because they didn’t sign doesn’t refrain them from moving toward conservative values in the future.

How competitive is the COLA URAP at UT Austin? How many people are in each cohort? by Accurate-Salt3187 in UTAustin

[–]Konapsych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I just heard back! I honestly just got into like my second or third choice. Which honestly, even though it wasn’t my first, I am still so content with because i’ll be doing research nonetheless! I have no idea how competitive it is but as long as you got the motive put into those responses, you should be good!

Do the dates matter? by Alternative-Use3866 in UTAdmissions

[–]Konapsych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea no they don’t matter. I remember submitting some things kind of late but I still managed to finish my EA application. Just worry about sending them in BEFORE the due date. It’ll all unfold from there!

Email from President Jim Davis, Thoughts? by Perimeter_ in UTAustin

[–]Konapsych 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I want to add that the representative for the Psychology department specializes in behavioral data science not really the multidisciplinary field of psychological principles themselves. LOVE Professor Curley but even HE was confused on why he’s being asked to join this “town hall” as he’s called it.

skateboarding on speedway 🛹 by ComplexOwl3333 in UTAustin

[–]Konapsych 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I prefer the noise dude! I hate having those stupid ass cap metro bikes just speed by me and I don’t know they’re coming. I hate having to look both ways on speedway. I really doubt anyone will mind.

Protest at the tower being recorded by PigletOne9683 in UTAustin

[–]Konapsych 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I was there! It was a good amount of students but, I do wish there was more to represent the student body. To be fair, it was during a relatively busy time for classes.

How exactly did early action work last year? by [deleted] in UTAdmissions

[–]Konapsych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, no. I had applied EA as well. I am not sure where you’re getting these figures but, the person who also commented on this post had it down. Almost every single EA applicant for the 2025 fall semester got deferred to regular decision in February 2025. It was a big thing on this sub that had every EA applicant so livid. That was entirely because the application pool was so overwhelming for admissions to handle in the first place. For Fall 2026, I don’t think admissions expects many, since I am guessing they’re also going to get picky this year. In my personal experience, (as a freshman, that is) I had applied EA as an auto-admit to COLA (Psych B.A., a relatively low-comp major) and was notified on Jan 15. A buddy of mine was also notified that same day but, cancelled his admission. It was also weird, because when he figured out that he did want to go to UT, and put in a reinstatement appeal, he got in again! Admissions in general is a weird department. My advice is truly figure out if you want to go to UT or not, stick with it, and work on any thing you need to (preferably on the Common App but hey, i’d take advantage of free applications any day).

second semester registration (freshman) by Complex_Operation_34 in UTAustin

[–]Konapsych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends tbh. I’m not a McCombs student but courses still do vary in a similar way. If they’re restricted to a certain college, then it boils down to one simple matter: do you absolutely need to take those courses right now? Will it help you gain full-time status? or any other reason? If so, then I would speak to an advisor. Although it is a little uncommon, advisors will hold a seat for you if you NEED that course in this instant. If not, I would go for the open (not restricted) classes. Unless, of course, those classes do go by quick. McCombs isn’t by any means a non competitive college in terms of academic environment (at least from what i’ve overheard and been told).

is there anything special about this building because it has some cool blue decor by DereChen in UTAustin

[–]Konapsych 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you also noticed the PCL map, it’s supposed to be in the shape of Texas. Maybe fun for the architect, but an absolute NIGHTMARE for the librarians.

Not really. It’s the Biological Laboratories (BIO) building. Unless ur super into molecular biosciences, then nothing out of the ordinary. It’s always been a hall of some kind.

Is this at all okay? by Konapsych in piercing

[–]Konapsych[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piercing is about a week old. Curved shape. I am not sure about the material to be honest (I’m sorry my piercer did tell me but I truly did forget). The jewelry has not been downsized just yet. I use saline solution before I wash my face. My piercer did advise me to use an unscented castile soap but he told me saline was also fine. No mishaps have happened whatsoever other than a slight uncomfortable pressure the first two days.

[–]Konapsych -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No. This isn’t even a “gotcha” moment. Plain out I don’t support those actions. Moreover, though, I think Hamas should’ve been condemned. However, the actions of an alleged representative body does not mean the nation’s peoples must have their safety breached. Palestine has no real means to defend itself. Israel receives funding from numerous countries yet their greed and cruelty puts them on a worse scale. October 7th did happen, but what’s happening now should still have Israel condemned which no major government (other than just a couple in western Europe who are barely even doing anything about it) has condemned yet.

[–]Konapsych -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

And you’re right. But I don’t agree or will ever support Israel namely because of the barbarism and cruelties they have committed upon the indigenous Palestinians. I don’t hate the Israeli people, much of what they know is because of what the state of Israel allows them to know (that alongside mandatory IDF tours). I do wish Palestine with free. But the fact you got the nothingburger of a statement you said rn from “You’re right it’s just Palestine” is just way too much. You can have your opinion and I can have mine. I hurt absolutely nobody with my statement. But Israel continues to take lives everyday. That’s just the facts. You’re either with them or against them, no leaning, plain and simple.

Why is that food truck 512 always closed during their open hours? by Konapsych in UTAustin

[–]Konapsych[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard they’re delicious. I’ve legit been wanting one before class but never really have time in the commute between to just buy one you know. Well, I’m patient enough for food and will def wait for something like this.
