Sooo my entire family has gone to utk and I have always wanted to go to school there. Now it is my senior year and I applied with a GPA of 3.2 and ACT 25 and I have gotten deferred. I really do not want to do the bridge program because sorority is something that is very important. Any advice/ personal experience? I am really starting to worry that they will not accept me and just offer me the bridge.
At this point, there is nothing you can do about it. You could send documents as they ask for them, but that’s about it. Your stats are not bad at all. I think a bridge program offer would be insulting, if it were me. There’s lots of great schools in Tennessee that will admit you. You’re a match for Memphis and Eastern Tennessee.
I completely agree with the bridge being insulting. I have already been accepted into Memphis, but I really want to go to utk.
The bridge program isn’t an insult. You live st UT and can participate in almost anything, you just take your classes at the community college. And you get guaranteed acceptance into UT the next year. You can do a sorority your sophomore year. You should feel honored enough to get a spot considering there is only 100 spots available
If sorority is high on the list of important things about college, you’re doing it wrong.
