university of texas at austin!!!?
i'm currently a senior in a Texas high school, it's pretty competitive. my rank SUCKS. i've been an A/B student throughout high school (mostly due to the extremist of extreme laziness) with the exception being sophomore year because of some personal issues. i'm top 26% right now (137/523) and i'll try to send my transcript in again after this semester because my rank should be around 20% then but i'm not sure if UT will look at it because it will be a week or two after the deadline. but i have a good SAT score. i'm applying to their school of architecture even though it's really unlikely that i'll get in. stats - rank: 137/523 26% SAT: 2210 combined (M 720 CR 720 W 720) all AP/Honors classes through high school academic challenge 4 years (co-captain past 2 years) debate 9th/10th (won some awards) octathlon 9th (highest scoring member) newspaper 10th/11th (editor-in-chief 11th grade) a lot of work experience volunteer to teach religious education classes every saturday south asian female skilled artist in both traditional art and computer graphics pretty good writer decathlon team and AP studio art (12th) ap scores: US History 5 English Language 4 so my essays should be pretty good (one has to be about architecture) in all honesty, i just don't want to get capped. i will go to UTSA if i do, because i'm only applying to UT. i'm not sure if i'll even get into UT Austin School of Architecture let alone UT Austin. shed some light, please

I think you'll probably get in with those marks. But, you should apply to some other (smaller) Universities as well as backup plans.

Austin is a GREAT up and coming city. It is metropolitan, but not as large as a large metro area like NY or LA
2
There are definitely some school options here. I am not sure what you are looking for to start over so it is tough to answer that. I love this city and have done a lot of things to stay here. I don't know too many people who have regretted coming here or don't wish they could come back You can look for an apartment here http://everythingaustinapartments.com/ Probably best to look for a roommate on Craigslist.

What are my chances of getting into the University of Texas at Austin?
What are my chances of getting into the University of Texas at Austin?
I currently attend a large state school outside of texas (I'm a texas resident though). I would like to get back to the awesome city of Austin ( My home) and get a degree from a more prestigious school. Right now my GPA is a 3.83, however I think that by next summer it could go down (engineering courses). What are my chances of getting admitted into the liberal arts school. And also what is the minimum GPA for getting in as a transfer?

Which Texas Liberal Arts school is better; University of Texas at Austin, or Texas State San Marcos?
Which Texas Liberal Arts school is better; University of Texas at Austin, or Texas State San Marcos?
I got accepted to to Texas State San Marcos, but in UTA I got accepted but I have to wait a year, and go to a different UT system school and then automatically transfer to UTA in 2010, but the only thing is I'd be an "undeclared" major when I want to go to a specific degree of liberal arts, but Texas State more than likely will offer me the program in liberal Arts. But I don't know which school is better well known for they're excellence. Please help, advice would be wonderful! Thank you!

UT is way better than Texas State. Its better to be at UT undeclared than another school with a major that most likely will change several times.

Which is a better school - University of Texas@ Austin or SMU?
Which is a better school - University of Texas@ Austin or SMU?
I'm an undergraduate student. I haven't completely decided on a major/career path but I am in between business and pre-medicine. I would major in Nutrition (only offered at UT) or Biology...or get a BBA. I know UT is higher ranked in business than SMU, but does that necessarily mean that UT grads get better job offers than SMU grads? UT is stronger in the sciences, so Iwould be a more competitive med school applicant if i stay at SMU..since my gpa would be higher? With scholarships, I would have to pay $13 k/year for SMU and $6k/year for UT. The lower tuition of UT seems very attractive. Also, I already spent one year at SMU. I enjoyed it but often felt like it wasn't big/diverse/fun enough for me. UT seems to offer more in the social aspect, but I am scared that I'll get lost in the crowd, especially as a transfer student. Please help!

Hook em' Horns! With being such a popular school, you're looking at some powerful alumni which could help you out in the future. Social scene is perfect...just lil' bit for every type of person. All around i believe it to be a great experience.

Both great schools. My sister attended UT for one year then transferred to SMU for the last two. She got two degrees in three years then was accepted to Northwestern Law School. I think it depends on your personality type. I would transfer to UT just because I love the atmosphere in Austin. Plus its just about the best value for education in the nation. And they have a med school.

Go longhorns! UT Austin is an excellent public university. Tuition is relatively low especially considering it offers tons of resources. Additionally, it seems like you aren't very satisfied w/ SMU. While I'm not saying it you will like it any better, UT offers a very different atmosphere. There's definitely a party scene, if you're interested in that type of stuff. Football is BIG in this campus. Get ready to spend weekends at the stadium where the majority of students will be cheering their peers on. If you don't like this type of life, then UT might not be for you. HOWEVER, UT is also an excellent academic school, besides its social life. They're pretty strong in just about every department-- some more than others though. Also, if your worried that you will get lost at UT - DON'T BE!!!! Most folks here are friendly and willing to help out.If you want the basic overview of each university, here it is: UT Austin -Public university in Austin, Texas -Cheap tuition for the resources you have -Vibrant and active social scene -VERY large w/ undergrad enrollment almost 40,000 -Offers a wide variety of majors w/ solid standards -Not religiously affiliated SMU -Private university near Dallas, Texas -Expensive because it is private -Much smaller undergrad enrollment than UT -Solid business school but lacks in the sciences department -Social scene might not be as encouraged as in UT---however, because its close to Dallas, you'll at least have night clubs to go to. Hope this helps you out!!!

ASAP! Son is traveling from Wisconsin to Austin Texas today with High School Band-?
I am aware of nasty weather all the way down to Texas. My wife and I are nervious. How do bus drivers get up to the minute reports of anything bad as far as weather goes that may be heading their way.

I would call the bus station and ask them if there is any new's on the weather conditions,and if there has been ,or could be any cancelations ?Ask them how you can be updated if any changes are made,or delay's !
2
So it might be a little late (not in the BAD sence), but: 1) I've traveled in a bus (yes, in Texas) while there was a tornado. The bus center headquarters place radioed our driver. That's what they do during bad weather, you really do not need to be worried. 2) The weather in Austin is okay right now (trust me, I live here), just some rain, and it rains all the time, so it is okay. You really do not need to be worried. I know, as a parent, this probably brings little comfort, but just know it is okay down here.
3
Your concerns are well founded. There have been some tragedies involving busloads of kids in the Texas Hill country during flash floods. Most of those accidents have taken place in the resort areas near the campsites on the Guadelupe River. There are places where the water goes over the road even when there's no flooding, but again, those locales are in the back woods. The high schools in Austin are situated in urban areas with good drainage. You don't have that issue to worry about, but I can't make any promises about whether or not he loses his tuba.

Which school would be better for undergrad bus - Virginia or Texas - Austin and why would Wharton be so good?

They are all good schools. Visit all three of them and see which one you fall in love with.

UT-Austin would be a great place for undergraduate business, but the McIntire school at Virginia is a top five undergraduate business school. The education at the two schools would probably be comparable -- however, there would be better job opportunities from Virginia. Wharton is the top undergraduate business school -- and one of the best (if not the best) MBA programs. It is highly selective, so employers know they will get good candidates. Therefore, the top companies come to Wharton to hire their undergraduates. In addition, Wharton students get a great education. They actually take the same classes that the MBA students take -- and tend to do better then the MBA students. There is no undergraduate business school in the world that I would recommend more highly than Wharton.
