<p>I appllied to UT with a 2100 and 2nd decile class rank. CAPed. I signed the CAP contract for UTSA. I sent in my housing deposit immediately. I wait on the lease contract. Nothing comes. i check my mail and email every day. Nothing. I call, and they say "dont worry, its coming". It still doesnt come. I call back a week later and get a different person. Same **** "be pateint, its coming, wait till July". I call back July 1st, and the dip**** says that the lease contract should have been emailed already, and that theyre no longer issuing them. I ask why they didnt MAIL it, and they have no answer. I check my email for the last year, and see NOTHING. I call back and ask if theyd forward me the message they sent from their outbox. Hmm, they cant. They tell me to find off campus housing. </p>
<p>And this is just the tip of the iceberg. All the other schools I applied to early this year sent me Financial aid estimates immediately. UTSA sent me-you guessed it-nothing. I called numerous times saying i wnated my FA package, and they kept saying it wasnt finished. After much prying, they realize they set me up on 2 different ****ing accounts, and had to start all over. I got testy with them, and here's what they told me. "Well, youre really UT Austin's student, not ours, so its not a priority". Now Im furious.</p>
<p>Ive wnated to go to UT-Austin all my life, and I'd planned to spend a year at UTSA in Chisolm Residence with my friend from High School to attain that goal. It may have meant getting stuck in a liberal arts major instead of business soph year, but I was willing to risk it. But now on top of that they expect me to stay in a <strong><em>ing apartment without my friend because theyre too incompetent to mail me a *</em></strong>ing lease contract? They had no trouble mailing me a notice today saying i hadnt turned in my lease contract, and that I could either go onj the waitlist or get my deposit refunded. If they can mail me their "*** You* letter, why couldnt they mail the damn lease contract in the first place?</p>
<p>Anyway, I called A&M last week and appealed for reinstation (I got accepted there initially and put down my deposit, but ultimately decided to go to UTSA). They granted my appeal, and said I could go there. Everyone Ive talked to has said thats extremely rare, and to tell UTSA to **** off.</p>
<p>So basically Ive decided that Im going to call UT-Austin tomorrow and complain. If its not too late to appeal, I'll appeal. (Its a shot in the dark, but it cant hurt). But either way, I wnat to let them know that i dont approve of the CAP program, the 10% rule (which is the legislature's fault, but UT still usu\es rank only for other purposes and has no academic admit system based on rank AND SAT like A&M has), or how they do their business in general.</p>
<p>Now that you've read my rant, Im just curious, is it too late to appeal, and do I have any real basis to anyway? Im guessing I dont, but its worth a try. Ive been a Longhorn fan all my life, but Ive reached the point now that they slammed so many doors in my face that I have to turn to the school thats opening them right and left for me. Staying in an apartment at a glorified junior college on an undeclared major track isnt better than going to a near top 50 school, staying in a private dorm, and doing the business program.</p>
