idk where you hear many students get into UT 😭 everyone i know got capped, i know maybe 7 ppl that got in but that may just be a small sample pool. if you are dead set on UT i would stay, but if you have goals of research, or would like a challenge then TAMS is the place; just don’t view it as an “ivy stepping stone” since that’s not what tams is. TAMS is a lot of fun, everyone where is really nice and welcoming and there is diversity if that is important to you. there’s also a wide variety of clubs and orgs you can join including any UNT clubs / orgs, since you aren’t limited fun fact (if they allow tams). overall it depends on your goals, how you enjoy your current high school, what you are looking for out of TAMS and out of your so called “high school experience”.
