<p>I am considering the CAP program and i feel that my best two choices are University of Texas at Arlington and University of Texas at San Antonio.</p>
<p>I am leaning toward Arlington because I live in Dallas and it would be easier, plus i would get one more year with all of my friends that are still in high school.
However, I heard that UTSA is the easiest CAP school, academically.</p>
<p>Can anyone give me some insight on which would be the easiest choice, academically?
If you are a CAP student, how was your experience if you chose to go to either of these schools?</p>
<p>Are you only looking at CAP schools? What major are you aiming for? If it’s a college that you’re not guaranteed admittance to (Business, Engineering, Communications) go to a community college for that first year. It’s way easier to get into the more competitive majors.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if you want to get into COLA/CNS, go to UT Dallas. If you can’t handle Dallas, then Austin would be a waste of your time.</p>
<p>I would have gone to UT Dallas considering it would be easier transportation, and that it is much, much nicer than the other UT system schools, however my SAT did not meet it’s minimum requirements.
The requirement is 1300 (Critical Reading and Math ONLY), and mine is 1110 (Critical Reading and Math combined).</p>
<p>That being said, do you know anything about the other schools?
Do you think I could somehow appeal to UT Dallas or Austin to let me do CAP studies there? It’s probably a shot in the dark but my SAT was 190 points off, so maybe it wouldn’t hurt to ask.
COLA is my desired school at UT Austin so I feel CAP would work quite nicely if I apply myself.</p>
<p>UTSA is a bigger campus but if you want to basically hang out with high school friends then I’d choose UTA (I’ve heard UTA is more of a commuter school than UTSA), UT won’t let you “appeal” to CAP schools (My friend tried to send them updated SAT scores and that still didn’t affect which CAP schools he could go to).</p>
