Cap Vs. A&m

<p>I got into A&M and got capped by Ut at austin. Just wondering what you all thought of UTSA versus A&M</p>

<p>A lot of my friends got CAPed. :( It really depends on how bad you want to go to UT and your preferences about transfering and stuff.</p>

<p>If you intend to transfer after your freshman year, which is the intent of the CAP program, go to UTSA. It's not that great, but a year in SA is better than 4 in College Station. It's pretty much an automatic transfer, so your degree will be from UT-Austin. I have lots of friends who did CAP, and now that we're all graduating, it really doesn't matter where they were freshman year; no one remembers.</p>

<p>Depends on your major. If you want to go liberal arts or natural sciences (maybe communications/nursing?) its fine.. If your set on engineering or business, it is more difficult, and you will not be guaranteed entrance into one of these.</p>

<p>But you could always transfer in as liberal arts your sophomore year, and then do an internal transfer for spring semester of your sophomore year to business or engineering. </p>

<p>One of my friends did his freshman year at UT-Arlington, and he's now in the business school at UT. It's certainly possible.</p>

<p>What does CAPed mean?</p>
