for a good education then yes the this school is good and you will get more from it if you keep your mind on studies and not the other things go on.


2
I know it's a very big school in a town that is known to have a party reputation but everything I've ever heard and read suggests it's a very good school.


3
All Universities, colleges and 2 year colleges the first year are party colleges....because it is the kids first time (usually) away from home and kegger on!....the second year you usually settle down and really hit the books are ready to declare, and the 3 and 4 year you are ready to graduate ...so don't worry most, not all, but most kids party their first year wherever they go to school.


4
Its a great university and has a good reputation for a lot of coures! So if you are considering it..Just Go For It!


5
Yes.

University of Texas-Austin Law School?

University of Texas-Austin Law School?
Hello all, anyone here apply to UT-Austin Law School? How competitive is it getting into it? What was your GPA, where did you do your undergrad? How was your application process, was there an interview? If you were not accepted, which law school did you choose to attend instead? How has your experience been there? If you've graduated, did a law firm hire you soon after you graduated?

All good questions. I didn't apply there, but I can hook you up with the information you're requesting. "How competitive is it?" Very. UT-Austin is best law school in Texas, of course, and one of the best schools in the country outside the top-14. "What was your GPA / undergrad institution?" Your undergraduate institution won't matter in terms of admissions. As for GPA, I can tell by looking at Law School Numbers (I'll link you in my source section) that your chances of being admitted go up significantly if you're a 3.6 or over and a 167 or over, but UT-Austin does dip as low as 3.4 and 164, but only when the applicant's other number is higher. For example, with a 3.4, you want an LSAT over 170. With a 164, you want a GPA around 3.8. "Interview?" As far as I know, UT Austin does not interview for anything other than scholarships. "Employment prospects?" Actually pretty good. If you know you want to work in Texas after law school, then you'll have a strong advantage there. Texas is kind of an insular state and the firms there likel to hire from UT Austin. The school has a very strong alumni network. In addition, lots of firms from outside the state do OCI (on-campus interviews) there. According to the NLJ250 for 2009--the 250 biggest firms in America--Texas sent around 36% of its graduates into these firms. That's impressive and almost rivals some top-14 schools. Now, that data is a little outdated and the economy is worse right now, but UT Austin still has some of the best employment prospects outside the top-14 and absolutely dominates Texas. That being said, it's still a somewhat regional school. Whether it's self-selection or something, most Texas graduates stay in Texas. I wouldn't go to Texas over UCLA if you know you want to end up in California, by the way. "What is UT Austin like?" Never been there, but everyone says it's the hippest and trendiest city in Texas and that you'll like the school and city if you're used to a more campus-like feel in an urban environment.

I'm looking at schools near Austin, Texas. Mostly interested in private colleges. I'd appreciate your opinions and the pro's and con's of schools in the area. Classes? Helpful professors? Food? Safety? Know anything or hear anything about Huston-Tillotson University or Concordia University Texas. Others? Thanks!

I attended and graduated from Concordia and it's a fine institution. I felt like I got a quality education and the professors and staff were very helpful. They've moved campuses since I attended so I can't comment much on it's current location. St Edward's University is another great private college located in South Austin. I had many work colleagues graduate from there and spoke highly of it. They have a lot of evening classes (unlike UT) which makes it convenient for those working and going to school. I don't know much about Huston-Tillotson other than what they say on their website: "Huston-Tillotson University is an accredited, four-year, historically black college with a mission to educate, develop and direct students of any social, economic, spiritual, or racial background." They deem themselves a liberal arts college with a proud tradition of a multicultural education. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.


2
If you are liberal try Huston-Tillotson, Saint Edwards, or ACC. If you are small town oriented consider Texas State in San Marcos. Religious and studious consider Concordia. Fine Arts consider Southwestern in Georgetown. If I had it to do over again I would give higher consideration to the last two listed above.


3
St. Edward's, Concordia and Southwestern - all very good schools. Southwestern is rated as one of the very top small schools in the country. Has about 1200 students. Williamson County is very conservative but nice place to live.

What schools around Austin, Texas can help me find out how to work in DNA analysis?Is it genetics and biology?
What degrees do I specifically need? I am very interested in becoming a laboratory technician dealing with forensic testing. Is there online courses I can take? Do I need criminal justice degrees because of the legal side of this? If so, which degree should I look for in criminal justice?

Most molecular biology and genetics courses will offer dna analysis. If you're going into any science degree, they'll REQUIRE you to take at least an introductory course in protein synthesis and molecular bio. If you're very interested, you could find a professor who's currently doing research on these topics and apply as a lab assitant to gain offhand knowledge. I wouldn't really say there criminal justice is the related field.. I suggest the course ethics, as it ties in very much to the science side. It's listed as a philosophy course in my university though. I'm sure 99% of universities will have such courses like "molecular biology." genetics is more on the side of finding probabilities of traits that appear.

Is it Possible to go to School in Austin or Phoenix without a Car?

Is it Possible to go to School in Austin or Phoenix without a Car?
I'm not going to be able to take my car with me when I transfer out of state from Richmond,Virginia. I am looking at schools out of state and would like to work, live and go to school in either downtown Phoenix, Arizona or Austin, Texas. Is it possible to live without a car in either cities and still have a fun life. A lot of college students here in Richmond don't have cars so they have to make friends with people with cars, and/or only work,play and live downtown. Also in Richmond there are lots of jobs, and leisure activities downtown and we are a city of only over 200,000. So, aren't I right in assuming downtown Austin and Phoenix will have even more opportunities for young non-drivers? * I will be living on campus only for a while as well.

there is a public transportation service in the Phoenix area, plus, it's likely you will meet people that also go to your school, maybe an opportunity to car pool

Phoenix has a GREAT public transit system. I went to college there with no car and it was a breeze. There is a bus for every major street and lots of minor ones too. There are plenty of express routes as well and now they also have a light rail. You can get a monthly bus pass for cheap and they're pretty darn reliable time-wise. Because of all the colleges in the area, there are also a lot of starter jobs for college students. You also need to keep in mind that the transit system stretches to Tempe as well so it's not like it keeps you stuck within Metro Phoenix. Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Peoria, etc are all easily reachable via public transport. Public transport is never a 100% clean or creepy people free experience, but compared to a lot of cities, Phoenix has a great system going. I used it the entire time I was going to college there and never had a problem. Sometimes I'd even bike part way and throw my bike on the front of the bus for part of the ride. Because it's so hot in the summer, they really have to have a good public transit system or no one would get anywhere =) You can't walk or bike when it's 120. For the first summer you'll be telling people "DRY HEAT MY @$$!!!!" but you will get used to it. The first time you fly home to Richmond during the summer, you'll see what I mean. I was always poo-pooing "dry heat" until I stepped off a plane in Chicago when it was 89 (100% humidity) and I couldn't breathe. You don't sweat when it's 120 in Phoenix either. Well, you do, but because of the low humidity it just evaporates. You're hot, but you're not uncomfortable.

They play football in middle school? I thought it was outside organizations like Junior Football League or Pop warner that did. And another thing, who cares wat middle school your at, the main thing to focus on is the high school. And if your good enough to play at the next level, the high school dosent really matter either, they'll come find you.

You can't transfer in Texas, even middle school, for athletic reasons so you're SOL. However, get your parents to buy a house for you. That'll work. But really, the best middle school football program in Texas is George Strait Middle School in Frisco.

Through your personal info such as SSN, name, address, DOB, school attended, and etc. Your school counselor can probably help you with that. In my school, I just have to fill out a form for the counselor and he will send the transcript with a rec letter. Good luck.
