<p>What in the WORLD is this? Can anyone tell me anything about the program? I applied and was accepted, but still don't know that much about it. Is it a good program and worth doing? Everyone I asked never heard of it. Anyone have any experience with it?</p>
<p>The Gateway Program was started at The University of Texas at Austin in the fall of 1994 to maximize the academic success and social connections of new first generation and underrepresented students at UT Austin. Gateway Scholars has expanded to include UTransition, a learning community for first generation and underrepresented transfer students, the Achieving College Excellence (ACE) Program, a service for students who seek additional academic assistance, and the Welcome Program, a diversity education program for incoming first-year students, and Longhorn Connection. </p>
<p>This is what it said on the website and here is a link to the page:

<p>Ah thanks. Has anyone here been in or know anyone who has been in the program?</p>
<p>Not sure if it’s worth doing or not.</p>
