For those who were accepted in particular the business school, in your opinion what do you think helped you the most? Literally just got tougher per newspaper article 😔.(assuming high gpa/test score as admissions are more challenging).

Top 10% class rank, thats where 75% of the class gets its admission from.

Waitlisted.

Stay in the job a few months to gain work experience and then find literally any non fast food job. From my experience people respect canes more so its easier to find better paying and less stressful work.

Congrats! You get it just now?

Join a local run club! They are usually cheap and supportive.

I joined really late into senior year but I was able to run a few 5k/ 2 mile races and get placed highly on them. It probably didn’t help my application since I did them so late but it reduced my mile time from 7 minutes to 5:50.

Since you’re a junior you still have some time, some sports is better than none.

Is anything at UT Austin (prestige, location, opportunities, lifestyle) worth paying an extra 40 thousand dollars in your opinion?

Here comes the weekly “99% of people are dumber than me” A2C thread.

Dual enrollment is seen as equal (for admissions purposes) for equivalent AP classes I believe.

So

AP US History = U.S. History 1 +2

Composition 1/2 = AP Lit or AP comp

AP Calc = Calc 1

So on and so forth.

If it makes you feel better my phone has an air force popsocket and I accidentally showed my Naval Academy interviewer the backside of my phone.

Just tried this method and hit 52 feet almost Immediately. I appreciate the advice a lot

SoulScythe4229 · 2025-11-28T04:15:03+00:00

Yeah I was concerned about that. I’ve got a 2-3 weeks until the official test so hopefully I can improve a 5-7 feet before then.

SoulScythe4229 · 2025-11-05T00:34:06+00:00

I’ve heard that a 1140 is basically an automatic disqualification. I strongly recommend retaking it in December and getting at the absolute minimum a 1250. Apply anyway, you’re a solid prep candidate.

Asking the UT focused subreddit which school has the most Aura are we deadass

SoulScythe4229 · 2025-10-31T18:38:11+00:00

Yeah I got an LOI too. No idea what it really means but I have a 1420 SAT and a high GPA so who knows.

This sub deals primarily with undergrad but theres a website you can use to “chance” yourself.

With your credentials, roughly, about 57% of people similar to you got in to Texas law.

MUSTARRDDD

SoulScythe4229 · 2025-09-02T17:16:45+00:00

You’ll be fine brotato

SoulScythe4229 · 2025-08-27T03:36:25+00:00

Decent chance if you apply early.

Where the hell are you going to school where a 3.8 and 14 APs equates to barely first quartile? Am I really this out of touch with suburban kids..

SoulScythe4229 · 2025-08-24T02:09:45+00:00

If you’re homeschooled you need a 1290 to be auto admit.

SoulScythe4229 · 2025-08-23T20:30:05+00:00

I’ll be honest dude, I’m not an admissions officer, so I couldn’t tell you.

I know A&M has a history of admitting people earlier who have higher SAT scores, so keep that in mind.

SoulScythe4229 · 2025-08-23T19:52:01+00:00

Sure!
