College in Austin, Texas for buisness.?
I'm now a junior in high school, and I want to go to school for some type of buisness. I have my cosmetology license, and I would like to ultimately start my own salon. I really want to go to school in Austin, Texas. I love the city and the people there. If anyone knows of any good schools or buisness programs, please let me know.

Is University of Texas Austin really that great?
Is University of Texas Austin really that great?
Or is it just football hype... Why is that UT and A&M are the only recognized public universities in Texas? What about University of North Texas? Everyone knows Texas State is the party school, so does that place have any real value? I've been at a community college for a year, and its time to transfer next fall. UT is just SO large... I hate the campus.

There are plenty of really good public schools in Texas that aren't too big. If you'd like to find a smaller school, do some research, visit some campuses and get a feel. You'll find one you really like. You'll see. I attended the University of Houston. Good school, but it's big. My niece recently graduated from Texas A & M University Corpus Christi with a nursing degree. She says that it's a great school. She landed a great job, right away. Yes! The University of North Texas is a really good school. Visit the campus. Look around. Talk to people. Ask: What can they offer me? What facilities do they have for students in my major?

Well I am from Texas so something would be wrong if I have not heard of it. :) It is a good school and if you are liberal, it is the place to be. I think they have like a 50% acceptance rate. Many students who are in the top ten percent apply there because in the state of Texas, any student who graduated from a texas high school in the top 10% of their class, automatically gets in. It is kinda like a public Yale, Duke, Harvard, etc without the low acceptance rate. That is my opinion though. It is prestigious nationwide, but I do not know about worldwide.

Hey fellow Longhorn! All I know is that switching into the business school is pretty difficult, but perhaps possible. Especially since you're out of state, you might want to go to the website and e-mail some of the advisors about your situation. They can give you a more exact answer. What college are you in right now? Good luck getting in!!! Hook 'em!
2
You can transfer into McCombs after one year if your gpa is above the internal transfer cutoff. Typically that's about 3.6, which is relatively high but should be doable if you work hard. You also need to take calculus, economics, and a foreign language before you transfer. You can read all about the requirements for an internal transfer on the website. Your major doesn't matter, just be sure to get good grades in your classes and you'll be in.
3
McCombs School of Business is highly competitive and extremely tough for non-Texas applicants. Check the transfer website on McCombs School of Business website for more info. Just a note, the average GPA is around a 3.85 for transfers. Do a Liberal Arts major which would get you in the right direction for becoming a business major at UT-Austin.

You should start off in Liberal Arts-its the easiest to get into!

Anyone live in Austin Texas and drive to San Antonio to attend UTSA?
Anyone live in Austin Texas and drive to San Antonio to attend UTSA?
I want to live in Austin Texas but go to UTSA to get my MBA. I was wondering if anyone did that drive and how it is. I think it would be about a little over an hour. Does anyone trip this trip for school and have any ideas for me. I want to live in Austin because I can live with family for cheap vs. an expense apt. Please help.....Thank you! :)

Back in the 80s I lived in northern San Antonio (281 and Bitters) and commuted to Austin (Airport and 56th). Took me about an hour and 40 minutes, back in the days of the 55mph speed limit. Think of this: You'll be putting wear and tear on the car, and have to pay for gas and oil changes. Back then (dinosaurs walking the earth and such) I was putting 175 miles a day on the car going back and forth. Five days a week, did this for six months. Got to hate it. I was pumping in nearly 7 gallons of gas a day. Figure 50 cents a mile for gas, oil, maintenance, repairs, depreciation. That's $87.50 a day. I don't know how many days you'll be going a week, but multiply by that, and figure it over the two years you'll be doing your MBA. Unless you live in south Austin and average 90 it'll take longer to get to UTSA than you think. Figure an hour and a half to be safe. Also remember that is nearly three hours a day you'll be on the road. Not good for all the studying and projects you'll need to do. I just looked at student housing. Geez, times have changed from my college days. Weigh the benefits versus the problems.

It's approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes from Austin to UTSA when the traffic is good (it can get pretty ugly on I 35). If you're having to commute on a daily basis, I would think it would get tiresome pretty quickly. If you will only be commuting 2 or 3 days a week, it would probably be fine.

Texas Tech, UT Austin, UT Dallas?
Texas Tech, UT Austin, UT Dallas?
I am currently attending UT Dallas, but Its really getting boring here ( I'm a commuter ) and I'm thinking of transferring. My major is computer science and it is really tough, the professor is not helpful at all. Do you think it is a good idea to transfer to any of these schools? UT Austin Texas Tech UT Arlington can anyone from these universities comment on the level of difficulty, the professors there? I know it is hard to get into UTA. What is UTD's reputation like , do you think it is a good school?

It's generally agreed that UT-Dallas has the best computer science program in Texas -- McDermott ensured that from the financial side. A&M also has a great reputation in computer science (they have the inventor of C++, among other things). I'm an honors student at UT-Austin, and our computer science program, I hear, is really good, too. Especially our honors CS program, the Turing Scholars. But I don't think you can get in to Turing Scholars once you've already started college. So of the three that you listed, UT-Austin is the place to go: Texas Tech and Arlington are weak, and don't have strong CS programs, at least, certainly not as strong as UT's. But UT -Dallas is supposed to have a better program than we do, so you might want to stick with it. Plus the fact that UT-Austin is so much more expensive. Keep that in mind, too, if that's an issue for you. Ummm, in terms outside of CS, I can tell you that life in Austin is way better than life in Dallas! Something for everybody, open-minded, and very relaxed. And it's not as hard to get in to UT-Austin through transfer as most people think; lots of openings are created from people dropping out because they got in with the top 10% rule from noncompetitive school and they can't handle or afford UTA. So there's a lot of room for transfers. My advice is to give it a shot.
