<p>Sadly, i got rejected from UT Austin and got offered the UT CAP thing. I am accepted at Baylor, and waiting for a response from A&M.
I was planning on going to UT Dallas and then transferring, but sadly UTD is no longer on their list for colleges in CAP. </p>
<p>How is the program?
Is it worth the year in one of those schools?
Which UT school is the best out of the CAP programs.
Any experiences and insight on CAP is much appreciated.</p>
<p>Im in almost the exact same shoes! Except I got into tamu already. I got into baylor, but no way am I paying all that, I got a 54k scholarship, but that’s not enough!? Honestly I don’t want to go to tamu. But I’ve always heard they’re extremely nice, unlike UT. But I’m also Asian and kinda liberal, so who knows how I’ll fit in. Right now I’m just wanting more to go to UTD… but unlike pretty much all my other friends, I didn’t get a full tuition there. I got 3k a semester, and if I live there, It’s won’t be too cheap either. I’m just too stupid to check the deadlines and pretty much missed all the UTD deadlines for scholarship. </p>
<p>My dad did read some article earlier that said TAMU is the #1 school in texas now, even past UT. But I just reaaaally want to open myself up and live in Austin. I don’t want to go to UT now because they didn’t want me. (I didn’t do too incredibly well on my sats… but I got like over 300 hrs of community service, and leadership. thought that’d count for something, hehe) but I don’t want to regret being stubborn and not taking the opportunity either. because I heard you’d make lots of friends because your friends will be in the capped group also so you’ll bond. </p>
<p>If I do decide to take the cap offer (now i highly doubt =/) I’ll most likely go to arlington, or maybe tyler if it’s nicer, but I live much closer to arlington. sigh. I’m just trying to find a really nice thread, cause I’ve pretty much read it all and still… nothing. </p>
<p>if utd was one of the options i would take the cap offer 110%, because if I didn’t like it I could just stay at UTD (one of my top choices now anyway). </p>
<p>Anyway, sorry for such a long post, I know this didn’t help you at all. But just wanted to say that I’m pretty much in your shoes.</p>
<p>Oh and I wanted to add that I also dont want to do that cap program because I planned to take some classes at my community college this summer, but if i do cap I can’t do that (so I’ll have enough classes to take at uta for the 30 hr requirement) and that’ll delay my decisions. But I seriously just want to go to school and get it over with. I like school, but I also like to get things done. that’s probably a really small factor. At one point i was so crushed and disappointed and discouraged I thought about skipping this year (i probably, most likely wasn’t serious, but i thought about it) so I can begin fresh next year and get everything done early and on time. I hate legal stuff. Such a hassle.</p>
