CAP? Waitlist?

<p>So last week I received news I was CAP'd. I was not offered PACE (for some reason). Does that mean my application is not on the waitlist? </p>

<p>I was wondering also did you appeal I appealed for pace and undecided because they caped me for natural science and I was unable to do undecided so the website didn’t change my major in time</p>

<p>I’m trying to appeal right now…but can I change my major on that?</p>

<p>You can tell them in the letter </p>

<p>Anyone know helppppppp</p>

<p>Anyone please help</p>

<p>@135pipe if you were capped that means that you are not on the wait list and you were not eligible for the pace program. They might accept your appeal if there is a difference in test scores/gpa from when you originally applied, or if they made a mistake on your application or you did. Being capped is being offered conditional admissions AFTER one full year(30 hours) at the UT system schools that you applied for. Most appeals will not find out until after may first, and same with wait list. May 1st is the deadline for most cap system schools, so you might want to decide if you would like to accept the cap agreement rather than waiting on appeals to be approved/denied because this process takes a lot of time, and it is very rare that they accept appeals.</p>

<p>also, if you did not receive pace or wait list that means that your application is not on the wait list. You would have been notified if you were on the wait list. only about 90 applicants were offered pace</p>

<p>You are not on the wait list and I recommend that you start deciding on your CAP school if you plan to do the program. I am a CAP student at UTSA and I’m 98% certain that I will be going to Austin in August. This school has some awesome professors and the only thing I don’t really like about the school are the students. If you have any questions about CAP or what it’s like at UTSA as a CAP student, PM me and I’d be more than happy to help you out.</p>

<p>Thank you very much I already accepted cap at uta just in case. My backup if my parents won’t let me do cap is university of florida or gasp texas a&m. Also my rank moved up to 7.5% and my gpa was not weighted</p>

<p>@hookembeevo Lets say I maintained a GPA of 3.6 as a freshmen in CAP. What are my chances of getting into d college of natural sciences at UT Austin? </p>

<p>@txgirl9457 where did you hear that only 90 kids got pace?</p>

<p>@Arjun2014 Well, due to me enrolling in CAP before natural sciences was removed as a guaranteed college, I don’t really have too much of an idea because this is the first time this has been done. I know several people that want to transfer into the schools of engineering, communications, and business. Those seeking to transfer into engineering or business have higher expectations and the average GPA for those students is around the 3.8 range. I’ll be honest and say that if a 3.6 is the highest you can pull at UTSA, you should study harder because I don’t really try here and my GPA is a 3.8 for the first semester. My advice, personally, is to split historically difficult classes into years and then semesters. If you specialize in bio, like me (neuroscience), I recommend that you get chemistry, and calculus done within your first two years and then finish with bio, major specific classes, and physics. The reason I choose to do things this way is simply to cut down on unnecessary work while I’m taking my bio and neuro courses. Because I’m finishing up my freshman year, I may choose to change this but this is what I have planed for now.</p>

<p>Thanks fir your info </p>
