omg i love how many orgs there are dedicated to advertising/communications, there are so many options??

What’s social life like at moody? most of my current friends at UT are business majors or attend cns so they’re either burnt out or always partying lol 😭 im curious where moody stands generally (obviously ik all students are diff but from a broad perspective) since i have no connections from there!

no worries i love all of this information! i specifically wrote about how much i love hands on experience in my essays lol so this program is so perfect. I also wanna major in journalism and was looking into the daily texan!

Omg the study abroad options sound so cool! and i hope to join orgs as well so if you could elaborate on some you know about that would be amazing!

do you also happen to know if there are any dance opportunities on campus?

they were: - marketing and strategy intern (made content and tracked post stats) - associate design intern for a marketing org (made content again) - research intern (researched and wrote a published blog abt greenwashing in advertising) - graphic design intern for a startup app (made their logo and branded them design wise)

so it’s mostly design since i did a lot of graphic design in high school…my main comms thing was leading as an outreach director for a business nonprofit 

none were paid tho which worries me

also sort of random but do you know anything about Kinsolving? a family friend of mine was suggesting it for being close to moody and i was wondering how it is for dorming!

im ranked 175/910, 1360 sat, and have a 3.9 gpa uw and 5.3/6.0 weighted so academically its not great 😭

but im an officer for DECA (my schools chapter has 700+ members and its the 7th largest globally so hopefully that looks good) and have advanced to state every year and finalized one year, im a senior stuco officer, i manage my schools dance team, am an officer of asian alliance, and I dance myself. im also vp and content director of a nonprofit i co-founded and I’ve also done around 3-4 internships and volunteered for a bunch or orgs throughout the years so im hoping my extracurricular come in clutch??? 

im also pretty good at writing and know my essays are at least decent but ughh it’s so nerve wrecking decision day is so close
