I recently got into UTD computer science program and I am waiting to hear back from UT. I heard that the earlier u accept UTD, I will more likely to get scholorships. Is that true?

Should I accept UTD? Am I actually going to get into UT comp Sci program?

Currently in AP Statistics

@Tushitha I believe it’s the earlier that you apply the more likely you are to be offered a scholarship, you have until May 1 to accept. As for getting into the UT Comp Sci program, maybe? but I know of kids in the 10% that didn’t get into UT’s Comp Sci program.

I agree with what @3scoutsmom says but the 800 in math will help. You can make your decision later after you have the information from both colleges.

@Tushitha did you apply to UTD with assured admission?
