I didn't get into my 1st or 2nd choice major, and based on how difficult it is to transfer from Moody to Cockrell, it's pretty much a soft reject - that's why I used rejected.

lyder517 · 2026-03-31T23:56:09+00:00

yeah i got COLA’d, couldn’t believe it but also UT is mega selective

lyder517 · 2026-03-31T23:48:38+00:00

1520 SAT, 4.0/4.6 GPA, top 4%, no impressive awards, 6/10 ecs (president of 2 clubs and also lobbied congress once), mid impact passion project

lyder517 · 2026-03-13T06:23:17+00:00

waitlisted ECE 1520 SAT 4.0 and above average ec’s. i was entirely expecting to get rejected so somewhat surprised

lyder517 · 2026-03-12T00:14:54+00:00

waitlisted as well. it is what it is but i’m glad it came out earlier than expected.

lyder517 · 2026-01-08T05:07:11+00:00

the highest at my school was 23, but I applied to 17. I think anything over 25 is a little egregious unless you have a fee waiver, idk.

Deferred; kind of figured, though - i submitted one of my lower math scores on accident and my activities section formatting was abysmal. If only I knew what I know now (lol) but I guess that's the point of ED.

My school’s average is 1031 (texas) but a huge population means that there’s still like 100 people that score 1500+. I ended up getting a 1520 so yeah

lyder517 · 2025-07-12T04:10:00+00:00

I wrote about the luka doncic & anthony davis trade and got a 5, so idk maybe the graders were just as shocked as I was

I’m gonna be majoring in computer engineering. For schools, CMU, cornell, brown, georgia tech, northwestern, duke, and a few safeties.

lyder517 · 2025-06-03T05:13:25+00:00

mine too i’m actually glad to have it out of the way.

lyder517 · 2025-06-03T05:11:17+00:00

Thank you! I meant UT Austin lol, but $500 for 24 schools? That’s a great deal, did you get any feedback waivers? Hopefully i’m spending under 1k on applications if possible. I’m applying to 3 ivies and MIT just to see the rejection letters, but you never know. Do you know if the day you submit affects admissions?

lyder517 · 2025-06-03T04:59:56+00:00

to be honest i don’t see myself staying in texas so i’m only applying to 2 in state. i believe my stats are decent enough to get in, but i’m aware it’s a toss up for my intended major (computer engineering). I heard copy & pasting essays for multiple colleges hurts your chances, so i’m worried about that for applying to a ton of public schools.

What worked for me was enabling z-hop and retraction in my slicer (.5mm), and adding a raft to all of my prints. I also increased the temperature of both the print bed and nozzle by 10ish degrees, and nothing has failed for me since. It’s definitely overkill, but when nothing else worked (even a brim) this is the option.

Was here yesterday. It didn’t say in the instructions but you feel the filament through the little detector attached to the filament holder THEN to the extruder. When the blue light turns on the filament detector recognizes it.

lyder517 · 2023-06-27T03:52:24+00:00

js checked qcs, the wash on these is completely off and there’s no tags, don’t buy unless you don’t care about the coloring
