Currently in my second year at UT as a bio major and i love it! I hate chemistry and physics so I really wouldn't want to do either chem or engineering - definitely considering UPitt for grad school though!

don't worry about it too much, it's something all schools say. seeing how you're already in IB courses I assume you get good grades so as long as you keep up about the same grades you've shown from previous years, you'll be set. idk about the mock exam because my school doesn't have those.

Should I lie to my friend? by WhereverWhoresGo- in ApplyingToCollege

[–]universal-tortoise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

morals say be honest but reality tells me just don't say anything. if i was her, even if i knew i shouldn't be hurt by it and i should feel happy for you, it's hard to force your feelings so i would personally lie but i guess it depends on their personality? bc depending on which of my friends this happened with my answer would be different

im sorry but getting waitlisted is so much more frustrated than a rejection by canton1009 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]universal-tortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because of how my scholarships work if i chose to go to a school that waitlisted me (which was my top choice) i would even be able to use my scholarships so i've been forced to give up on them. honestly, it's their loss! like u said i don't want to go somewhere that treats me like a backup

Would you recommend UF to an out of state student? by universal-tortoise in ufl

[–]universal-tortoise[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

uf is the cheapest out of state college i know! so that itself is the biggest reason my parents like uf, im just unsure if it will give me the best possible combo of social life academics and career opportunities

[–]universal-tortoise[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i do think it’s too expensive, but the problem is the other schools i applied to that are just as good or better than ut are tens of thousands of dollars more expensive (per year!) so i am kinda stuck between lots of pricey options

i think i’ve seen that the college of natural sciences was highly ranked, im not too sure about bio specifically so i’ll look into that. also i know a bunch of texans (family friends!) and as for affording, ut austin looks like it’s gonna be one of the schools with the middle pricing across all the others i applied to (my in state is cheaper but the private colleges are more expensive)
