<p>If you get rejected, where will you go? What other schools did you like and if you want, even state what you liked about them.</p>

<p>I feel a little lost. I applied to all Texas schools, and have gotten in to all, except Rice so far. And I have not heard back from UT Austin yet. I have been accepted at Baylor, TAMU, UTD, Austin College, and Trinity. Each school has something I like, and something I don't like, except Rice. I feel like Rice is perfect for me.</p>

<p>Size matters to me. So, UT Austin, TAMU, and UTD seem too big to me. I like AC and TU, but since I am likely going in to math and science, it just felt like, from looking over their courses offered and such, that I would not be able to go as far at AC and TU as at a university. I will already have 2 AP science credits (classes, however you word it) and 2 AP math credits. </p>

<p>I would love to hear everyone's other choices. Thanks!</p>

<p>And good luck everyone!!</p>

<p>And ur stats are?</p>

<p>Besides Rice:</p>

<p>I have applied to UT Austin and A&M.</p>

<p>I am going to apply to Georgia Tech and Cornell University.</p>

<p>Cornell is my second choice. If I don’t get into either, I will most likely go to A&M, but I am also considering Georgia Tech, so…we’ll see, haha.</p>

<p>Good luck to all!</p>

<p>When did you hear from trinity? I applied EA and haven’t heard anything yet.</p>

5

<p>I got into UIUC and Purdue today, so those are options. But UT and University of Washington (As in Seattle not STL) are probably my second and third choices respectively. I only applied to one school inside of a 850 mile radius of my house…</p>

<p>Trinity University sent out their results yesterday. Did you get it yet now?</p>

7

<p>I got the email and I got in. For some reason the email went to my spam. Do you know when we find out about merit aid?</p>

8

<p>Trinity sends merit scholarships with their admissions letter in the mail, I believe.</p>

<p>I got mine in the mail. The email only said I was admitted. But the letter included a nice note and a scholarship offer.</p>

<p>Large universities aren’t that intimidating when you actually attend one. I tell people that UT is like a large city with lots of small neighborhoods. You don’t see all 50,000 students at once, except maybe at football games, which are awesome. I was an architectural engineering student and hung out a lot of the time in the civil engineering building (Cockrell). I had a close-knit group of friends. My FAVORITE class at UT was American History, which had over 300 students in it. The prof was a fantastic story teller and always available to talk (he tried to get me to switch majors from engineering to history, ha!). My upper-division engineering classes were all pretty small.</p>

<p>The other thing to keep in mind is that there is so much opportunity at a big school. My son got to do research in the BME lab when he was a freshman! And there is always something fun going on somewhere.</p>

<p>Anyway, that’s just another view. Good luck to you, wherever you go!</p>

<p>MaineLonghorn, just curious who taught that American History class? Just asking because I’m a history major. Dr. Brands?</p>
