I got capd, but i got accepted into Bauer College of business at university of houston, should i cap or go to u of h?
I’d advise my D16 to accept Bauer at UofH over the CAP option.
is there any particular reason?
I agree with @labegg
Here are a couple of reasons-
Only about 40 percent of CAP students make it to Austin as sophomores
Once you get there, you are only guaranteed Liberal Arts, not McCombs. You can get McCombs, but not guaranteed.

You spend another year as a Liberal Arts student, taking McCombs pre-reqs so you can apply to McCombs. If you do not get McCombs Fall of you junior year, there is no Spring of Junior year option (McCombs is fall only)
McCombs strongly discourages those with more than 90 hours from transferring in.

That is too risky in my opinion. If you just HAVE to go to UT you better be prepared to have a Plan B.
And you are going to study your booty off at your CAP school and then study really hard again your first year at UT to get into McCombs (plus get some business ECs). I think you will have a better less stressful college experience at UH, but that is my opinion.
