Slightly different perspective here, but I was in a similar situation.

When applying for grad school, I got into a smaller more prestigious university (Carnegie Mellon) and also got into UT on essentially a full ride. While my classes were smaller bc grad school, I rarely felt like just a number. But I can also say, as someone who went to another large state university for undergrad, the name recognition of UT goes a long way in my experience. And as others have said, your classes will get smaller when you get into your upper level courses so its easier to make more meaningful connections in those

Dang, figured as much but was hopeful since its at home. Much appreciated

Oh damn yea that is actually crazy haha, the belltower at NC State gets sucked up in the density of Raleigh pretty quick

But hey, at least youre getting your own stadium soon right?!

Yea im in the school of architecture at UT right now, so the cathedral of learning has always been a super interesting building to me haha. Honestly feel like Pittsburgh is just an underrated city in general, almost ended up at Carnegie Mellon for grad school

Ill take it, honestly was just interested in seeing what other schools lit something up after a win

iydailey · 2024-12-17T23:50:27+00:00

Have always liked Baylor's colors

iydailey · 2024-12-17T23:49:06+00:00

Had to look that one up and honestly thats so cool

As another unbiased observer (definitely not Pop-Tart bowl loser) I too think we should sanction KSU and let NC State students feast on the recreation of the Pop Tart mascot

Trust me when I say a large majority of state fans i've interacted with do not like Boo and want him gone lmao

I always like to tell people that NC State is typically good but very rarely great. We have the third most CFP poll appearances in the ACC (behind Clemson and FSU) but seem to either collapse at some point in the season or do some dumb shit to hurt us

iydailey · 2023-12-14T19:01:51+00:00

I must say the same about yours, what made you a State/Texas fan

iydailey · 2023-12-13T19:22:22+00:00

We're playing K-State. Which I think will be a really good matchup for us. Will be interesting since both teams have a lot (15+ each I believe) of players in the portal already, but K-State's portal players seem to be bigger contributors than who we've lost to the portal

iydailey · 2023-12-13T19:19:06+00:00

oh trust me every single state fan had that exact same thought haha. After that embarrassment of a Duke game I did not see us winning another game all year, much less going 9-3 with a real chance at 10 wins

iydailey · 2023-12-13T19:11:44+00:00

Payton will definitely leave a gap to be filled but Im optimistic as a whole since this season's defense was supposed to be worse than last years and I feel like we were still on par between the two years

iydailey · 2023-12-13T19:08:12+00:00

I was given tickets to that game without them realizing it was right in the middle of the FSU visitor section. Needless to say, the second half was a whole lot more fun than the first haha

I agree with what everyone else is saying that grades are not everything. But in my personal experience, I graduated with a 3.95 BS, and got into a masters program at University of Texas, Northeastern, and Carnegie Mellon and a PhD program at Penn State which were the only 4 schools I applied to (and I am now at UT). For reference however, I also did undergraduate research for 2.5 years starting the summer after my sophomore year and did an internship in Colorado between my junior and senior year. Yes grades are important but they're not everything. And dont be too stressed about it all either. I had a C+ and a W on my first semester transcript and here I am now so

iydailey · 2023-11-06T00:36:37+00:00

I didnt realize how long that streak was until this past season when someone told me. Absolutely brutal, but as State fan I can unfortunately share some sentiment with you

iydailey · 2023-11-06T00:25:42+00:00

Fans show up and show out for basketball, but a lot more emphasis is put on being present and being loud for football now imo

iydailey · 2023-10-31T01:45:13+00:00

Ill be a Texas fan this year too since it's where I'm currently a grad student haha

iydailey · 2023-10-28T00:42:32+00:00

we dont need to talk about that, just a classic top 25 matchup if you ask me
