Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 3rd, 2022 11:41 AM Author: lime aphrodisiac temple sneaky criminal Also admitted to UT Austin but not the business school.
Wants to study business, will attend ASU.
Seems like just going arts + sciences at UT (instate) would be a better choice than ASU....

Date: November 3rd, 2022 12:22 PM Author: pea-brained plaza electric furnace A lot of it seems to be that schools waived test scores, so schools were swamped with applicants, all of whom were posting high GPAs and extracurriculars.
If only there was something we could use to develop an apples-to-apples comparison across students from different schools. |

Date: November 3rd, 2022 11:55 AM Author: light site kitty During her sophomore year, joint pain and depression exacerbated her anxiety. She enrolled in a two-month, outpatient mental-health program that limited her academic work to two hours a day. Her grades in English and AP World History fell to an 88 and 89, respectively, because she didn’t have time to finish the assigned reading, she said.
She was working to improve her marks when the pandemic arrived and the school froze grades during the second semester. She received her first (and only) B’s. They pulled down her GPA. She is now ranked 23rd out of 668, or in the third percentile, she said.

Date: November 3rd, 2022 11:55 AM Author: Galvanic Primrose National Coldplay Fan I think this is an old article that was poasted a few months ago. IIRC, the girl had some kind of mental health breakdown at some point during high school that forced her to take a leave of absence, which she wrote about in her essay. I have to assume that this spooked admissions officers. Still, 1550 and 11 AP's isn't even enough to enjoy UT-Austin? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5225705&forum_id=2:#45430028) |

Date: November 3rd, 2022 11:58 AM Author: lime aphrodisiac temple sneaky criminal Oh, yeah, this is from April.
She got into UT Austin, just not the business school. So she went to ASU. But a lot of the other schools she applied to didn't even have UG business majors.
Why not just got to UT and do economics or stats or something? |
|
Date: November 3rd, 2022 1:44 PM Author: green lascivious laser beams This. Her main issue in the T10 seemed to be that she was too poor and would qualify for too much aid so she’s a loss leader candidate and those schools don’t expect to get other good applications from her hs. But obvs you apply for a dual degree later with econ (or better yet something that makes you separately marketable and is even easier like a comms degree). McCombs ug is a way easier to get in when you’re in state assuming you’ve racked up a couple years of 3.5+ gpa which is not hard at all at UT, but they have to replace all the alcoholic frat chads who fail/transfer out to easier majors. I also wondered if she didn’t apply to Plan II bc she’s tailor made for it and it places really well into grad schools, so eg a Plan II/econ or business degree and a couple years at an Austin start up plus a decent GMAT and she’s a lock to get a top 5 MBA admit. She’s suffering primarily from growing up prole and not knowing other strivers who can share all these tricks with her bc their older sibling/neighbor/cousin did them successfully. She also presumably talked a big game about leaving Texas and all her peers expected her to get into a T10, and she didn’t want to go to UG with 15/25 kids who were in all her AP classes in high school.
