Is this for transfer students?

Do you think a student who waited for regular admission date versus early application date, is a detriment to their admission?

A lot of students overlook the high admission /high graduating rates public schools which provide quality education for competitive price both for instate and out-of-state students. Ohio University is such an example. It's admit rate stands at 85 percent, and its graduation rate stands at 87 percent. Tuition stands at about 13,000 for instate and about 24,000 for out-of-state students. The campus is huge, and the college town is fantastic, and there are many more such schools.

It is ridiculous to me that colleges require students to know what they want to do with their life by 10th or 11th grade and focus on that path in their extracurriculars and internships. Come on! Students change majors all the time once they get to college, why would you use that as a means to determine success at your school?

As a student who did Onramps courses, trust me, they are each incredibly harder than any AP class and I know this personally and from every single person I've talked to and I've taken Onramps courses since 9th grade high school. They are incredibly time crunching and require extensive brain capacity. Please reconsider the take that UT Austin admissions are looking for AP courses over Onramps courses. Also because the Onramps courses were arguably mandated and every higher achieving student in our grade has been taking the same Onramps courses and they are regarded the same level or arguably more difficult than the AP courses at my school.

I noticed on the A&M website it says the engineering essay has been removed.

Awesome presentation!

Hey, loved the vibe🙌! I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I could help you create a better distribution by working on post-production like better storytelling through Edits, Keywords, think catchy intros and outros, or even some engaging short clips! Would love to chat if you're interested and keep creating good content:)

Superb..is there a quota limit on students from Kazakhstan?

Is india or china still top international student source market?😊

Has something changed recently? On the admissions page under the common app essay prompt it says “No additional essays will be reviewed.” Did the short answer supplementals get dropped?

Is it for admissions for undergraduate or post graduate?

Why are you talking about black students, college admissions should be based on by their merits

Very helpful! Do you know if Urban Studies is considered an impacted major for freshman?

thank you! this was very helpful, i’m applying this year

Very helpful! Thanks for sharing!!

How does major placement work for auto-admits to A&M? For example, only majors (or most) in COLA are automatic for UT auto-admits.

Families are applying to southern public colleges because they don't want to be in the woke environment of northern schools.

Some parents have no ideas what their kids wrote about in the essays. Haha....

Does being part of High School Research Academy of UT help a student get into the engineering program when you are not in the top 10 percent?

Why not join the student encampment at the University a student wants to be admit to. That would make for a wonderful essay. Admissions offices like activism right.

Only Leftist go attend this campus. This is BS..,

I was relieved how several people who began their freshman year expressed and encouraged me not to send my son at this institution. Going forward I see why.

Good info! I think these schools that would like to be test optional realize that a mean of 1160 on the SAT in the case of UT for those who did not share their score affects how the student does in school and ultimately graduation rates. Additionally, they are getting overwhelmed by the numbers applying in test optional that probably would not apply otherwise, especially in the hard to get majors. AP calculus in high school is probably a must for business and stem majors. The good news is there are many Texas Public universities and there is a place for everyone. After your first few jobs where you went to school will matter less than your job performance and reviews for work!

Super helpful!

What are Stanford’s numbers for this year?

Very good program! Essay seems be more important than score. however, in order to get in top schools, your essay need some ideas from the political correctness which these elite schools like..

Thank you!

This is by far one of the best college app prep information session I’ve heard. Thank you for sharing the invaluable detailed examples and explanations!

*Promo SM* 🤗

so lucky to be apart of that 11%!!! hook em!

I ❤ your breakdown. Great info!

I moved here freshman year from overseas and got cooked LOL, didn't know what activities to do

This was a nice insightful video

Is there a database or public resource that shows the number of applicants by major to understand the competitiveness at UT?

I wish someone could prepare a portal for admitted students to self report Activities, ECs, Test Scores and Class Rank. This will help other aspiring students to draw inspiration and model from. Many opportunities are unknown to many parents and students - even those that truly aim higher and look everywhere.

How does Early decision/Early action work for students needing Need based grants from the school for Tuition fees and other costs. Will the school inform the prospective student about the Financial decision by Mid december or the student will have to wait till March.

My son is an in-state student who transfered from Korea when he was in the middle of his 10th grade. So he couldn't have any AP classes till 10th grade. Despite struggling by choosing 6 AP classes in his 11th grade, his WGPA is still only 4.14 (UWGPA is 3.84). He got all scores 5 in 6 AP exams. His SAT and ACT score are 1570 and 36. He has applied to the architecture of Texas A&M. His class rank is just around 25 percentile because his high school is so competitive. He is a naitonal merit semifinalist and waiting for the finalist result. I would like to know if he can get any chance to get into Texas A&M Architecture. Thank you.

50:00. Essay section earlier

Great presentation! I would mention that if an applicant has a question relating to the specifics of their application once they have access to their AIS portal, they can post the questions from the Contact Us tab and a member of the processing team will answer it directly. Otherwise, Aggie One Stop is happy to help with calls and emails for admission questions.

Looks like UT is a non starter. Too much emphasis on irrelevant activities.

Hello , I'm mouhcin from Morocco, I have a question about SAT test, it's have been required in the Texas universty or not?

That’s wild!

I think there are a few other reasons for students sending out more applications. 1. I think some are expanding their list outside of historical geographic norms for political reasons. 2. Some are expanding their list because finding a financial match has moved up over social fit or academic match. With a shrinking applicant pool, casting a wider net can find more bargains in the college marketplace. Especially for high achieving students. 3. The Common App has 335 colleges on it that require no application fee and no essay making it super easy to add colleges to your list with no extra effort or cost.

But shotgunning applications does help if the "offer of admissions rate" for schools increases because of the application inflation. I have to think this is happening. For ex, if Vandy knows kids are applying to 20 schools instead of just 5 others, they know it's less probable for them to matriculate. Thus, they ostensibly offer admissions to a greater number of students to offset that inflation. This is why I don't necessarily trust the admit rate (which I assume is a metric of class size and applications received), but would rather want to know how many offers of admissions were made against applications received.
