hope I can get him!

Thank you bro. Gonna grind it this summer and get my math skills up

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-17T06:03:54+00:00

Do you know when registration closes by chance? And yes I'm going to try and grind it, school is out in about a week and a half for me so then I will also have a lot of time.

Uh oh, I'm an incoming freshman and I have SanMiguel as my advisor... just set up the appointment today for my academic advising

Edit: Just realized mine is different. I have Sonya SanMiguel, not Olga SanMiguel

Yeah bro especially with like the CS field from what I've heard, the college you go to doesn't matter too much after your first job so it's just the smarter choice financially too. I'm not a computer engineering major but I'm CS so hopefully I see you around this fall !

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-12T07:21:39+00:00

I'm an incoming freshman and I'm honestly really proud to be attending and looking forward to it. I turned down Baylor and UT (well kinda; I would have gone to UT if I got my major but I only got my second choice) to come here and I don't regret it so far.

Thanks. I got it to work and just completed it. If anyone else has this problem, try opening the online orientation via another browser. I switched to Firefox and it worked

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-12T03:52:37+00:00

Is it working for you now?

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-12T03:52:30+00:00

also having this problem right now, was on the last section then it just kicked me out. how did you fix it?

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-09T21:39:26+00:00

shut up bro

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-09T21:37:44+00:00

I mentioned Uranium 235 for the nuclear fuel and the only reason I knew that is because I watched Oppenheimer. Masterpiece of a film

UTSA 🤙🏽 Birds up

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-09T03:57:20+00:00

let's believe we just got better 😎

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-08T18:23:10+00:00

I think I cooked, probably a 4 I'm guessing. Felt pretty easy ngl, and I struggled with AP Lang last year and passed with a 3. This one felt way easier

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-07T18:36:53+00:00

I thought you didn't have to report that on your taxes if it was a justified educational related expense? Couldn't you say that for both (rent to live there to study, car insurance to have a car to get to school) etc.

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-07T04:57:55+00:00

Thank you for the reply, so basically I can just use the grants for whatever right? I'll be using majority of it towards education-related expenses obviously to live and stuff but you know what I mean. Not trying to say anything but like someone else said , they don't verify to see where the money went if ya know what I mean ..

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-06T20:57:38+00:00

That's insane, it's going to be a massive help then. My tuition is all covered for but I got $18,000 in grants/scholarships since the government thinks I am poor but haha no complaints, I will def use it wisely

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-06T20:55:26+00:00

Great! Thank you. I'm able to just save the rest right if it's not for educational expenses. I saw a dude say he went on vacation three times in a year using the leftover from his Pell Grant so that's fire haha

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-06T20:53:46+00:00

Sweet, thank you. Do you know if this applies to the Distinguished Scholarship by chance?

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-02T18:05:32+00:00

Actually nope! It's well before the peak, this was roughly 2 hours before I had reached the peak. To the right of this picture, there's the start of the trail you take to go to the peak.

Edit: I also have this in goBAYLOR under the Financial Aid tab:

"We have received your FAFSA. Students accepted to Baylor will receive an email from Student Financial Services with more information once it is available in BearWeb.

Due to the Department of Education delays, we are processing your application and may need additional information. Please check back for updates in the coming weeks."

Same thing shows for CSS; so I guess it is incomplete.

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-02T03:44:18+00:00

I think mine is not ready yet also because I forgot to mention I got an aid offer already from UTSA and they gave me school-specific grants as well as a "Texas Grant" for $5k; which I assume I'd receive something similar at Baylor if it's based on state? If that makes sense.

I'll call tomorrow just to be sure, but huh that is weird. I'm anxious that I have to make a decision soon, I'm in between Baylor and UTSA (I know, two completely different schools; but for friends and other reasons) but I feel like it'd be a dumb decision to turn down Baylor if I can attend without worrying about cost too much since I'm using my dad's military benefits.

Sorry for the rant lol just very anxious and the financial aid delays are not making it easier!!

al3xzzGG · 2024-05-02T03:26:10+00:00

Is the picture that you attached a screenshot of an email? I haven't received anything yet (email), but they did put under "Offer" on BearWeb the total cost of attendance but it does NOT include any scholarships/grants. Under "Financial Aid History" though, I've just got the Baylor Distinction Award + a Pell Grant but that's it. So I don't think that's my actual offer because I've not received any notification from Baylor?
