And I’m denied! Three people away from having the rank for automatic admission, so I’m pretty disappointed. Anyone else feel like they almost had it? Any advice on the CAP program and if it’s worth looking into?

@millean For CNS, CAP is maybe a little risky - not sure. Admission to UT-Austin is guaranteed only for COLA. Maybe others with more info or experience can weigh in. Also, based on your weighted GPA, I am guessing you have quite a few AP course credits, which is not ideal for CAP students.

Yes, my daughter was 6 kids from AA. Tough situation to be in, especially since they went from top 7 to 6% this year.
