<p>I know it might be biased here, but please try not to be if you can.</p>

<p>I am sure from my posts you can tell just how bad I wanted to be a longhorn. After two rejections I finally got accepted into fall 2014. Thank you god!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>I got a full ride to Texas a&m and got about 11k in total loans to UT and 15k in grants. Is it worth going to UT, because I really love UT austin. It is the perfect school in the perfect location. My brother is a freshman here, and my parents would love for us to go to the same school. Also I want to go to med school UT is building one which is going to be a very awesome one. Thank you hook em. If I change my mind about med school then I would do psychology.</p>

<p>Go to A&M and save the loans for grad school.</p>

<p>But what if I don’t get in though.</p>

<p>You’ve been freaking out for months about UT Austin, don’t give it up. If it is really your dream you will do whatever you can to make things happen (which you did). You appealed not once but TWICE and it’s very rare for them to accept appeals, so take that as a sign. You’re a longhorn, and you already know your decision. You don’t need other people telling you what you already know. </p>

<p>Thank you do much. I just needed reassurance because people (family) are saying I am stupid for giving up a full ride, but they have no idea how hard I tried to get in. And I did</p>

<p>It’s your life, follow YOUR dreams and fulfill YOUR goal because in the end it’ll only affect you. </p>

7

<p>UT. Glad you made it. </p>

<p>UT UT UT UT!!! It’s good to have your family’s input, but 15k in grants is actually really good? </p>

<p>It’s been your dream, so go for it. You did so much to get in and you finally did it! I’m so happy for you and I don’t even know you, so I can’t even imagine how thrilled you are. </p>

<p>Go with your dream school. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I agree with the others - go to UT! It’s a wonderful school. Austin vs. College Station isn’t even a choice, ha!</p>

10

<p>Is your grant per year? If so, 15k dollars a year is almost a full ride to be honest. It covers your tuition, books, and if you choose an inexpensive living option (which is about 5k-7k a year include meal plan) it will only cost you 2k to go to UT. I think that’s a no brainer.</p>

<p>Thank you GUYS SO MUCHHHHHHHH
@Saborak‌ thank you for the input and your advice. It makes me so much more excited to be here.</p>

<p>@lovechickfila‌ thank you so much I don’t know you but thank you. It’s great to feel so welcomed. I am so nervous can’t wait for august!!!</p>

12

<p>Yes @foafoa‌ should I live off campus then yes it would be free and put extra $$$$$ in my pocket. Thanks so inch now I have some more advice and knowledge to convince my parents even more.</p>

<p>Also yes it’s per year</p>

13

<p>Are you serious @foafoa‌ so if I chose the cheapest cheapest housing and meal plan that loan will be reduced to about (5-7k) in total loans. </p>

<p>If this is true you just inflamed my longhorn pride. I better call the fire department</p>

14

<p>A double room at a Co-op within walking distance to campus, including meal plan, will cost you from around 5k-6k dollars a year.</p>

15

<p>Thanks will sign up for that thank you very much </p>

16

<p>Is co-op on or off campus</p>

17

<p>It’s like two or three block away from campus. There are two non-profit student co-ops at UT, one is ICC <a href=“http://www.iccaustin.coop/”>http://www.iccaustin.coop/&lt;/a&gt; and the other one is College Houses <a href=“http://collegehouses.org/”>http://collegehouses.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

18

<p>Off campus, but convenient. There are several different ones. My son lived at Taos (he had to withdraw for medical reasons, so he wasn’t there long, but he liked it).</p>

<p>Guess i just got to find a roomate</p>
