Out-of-State? Questions? Ask Away!

<p>I don’t know an exact date, but I would trust the admissions office that decisions will be released sometime this month. I don’t think I got mine until mid-late February, so don’t start worrying yet!</p>

<p>Hi soadquake, I’m an international applicant.I choose business as my first choice. Do you know how hard it is for international students to get into the business school, like how much is the middle 50% SAT?</p>

<p>Hey soadquake! I am OOS and applying to the College of Education. I was wondering how difficult it is to get into the College of Education? Or do you have any stats on the averages etc.? Thanks!</p>

<p>Sorry, I don’t have any exact statistics at the moment! I will try to contact someone in the admissions office to see if those numbers can be found. Any other questions?</p>

<p>My daughter was accepted to UT! Question about oos tuition wavier–can you give me any details on this?</p>

<p>All I really know about out-of-state tuition waivers is that most of them are distributed by each individual college, so if your daughter has been selected to receive a waiver, you should be getting something in the mail from that college in the next few weeks.</p>

<p>There are VERY few tuition waivers granted, so don’t get your hopes up. The lady in the engineering school politely laughed when my son called to check on the possibility!</p>

<p>is there a sushi place nearby</p>

<p>Are there specific on or off campus dorms out-of-state students generally stay at?</p>

<p>@ohmyghosh09 – Sorry, I totally missed your question! Yeah, I don’t eat sushi myself, but I know that there are at least a couple places right next to campus.</p>

<p>@turdel – If I had to guess, I’d say that most out-of-state students live in or near Jester, mainly because out-of-state students usually don’t apply for housing until March or April, and Jester is typically the only available dorm at that point. It actually works well, because since there are so many students in Jester, it’s really easy to make new friends that way. I don’t know any out-of-state students who live off-campus (or in private dorms)… it’s just a lot easier to live on campus for at least the first year.</p>

<p>I have been accepted to UT under the Turing Scholars program, and I put in my housing application + $50 fee in late february. I haven’t decided to go to UT, but I am very interested.</p>

<p>Is it likely that I will not get into the honors dorms?</p>

<p>You’re probably fine (or at least have a much better chance) for Honors housing, because the Honors quad is a whole different story from regular housing. Don’t take my word for it though!</p>

<p>I’m worried about Honors housing as well. I submitted my $50 about a week ago. As I understand, though, honors students get into the honors housing first, though, and they’ll fill available spots after that. So, we /should/ be fine, hopefully.</p>

<p>You should be fine and get into Honors housing.</p>

<p>where is a good place for freshman girls who plan on rushing to live that’s very social?</p>

<p>when do we sign up for classes for the fall semester?</p>

<p>would you recommend taking summer classes as an OOS to get to know the campus and meet people?</p>

<p>I don’t really have any specific suggestions for girls who are rushing, but Jester is plenty social. Duren is also good, and it’s a little closer to west campus, I guess. Littlefield and Kinsolving are the two all-female dorms, but I don’t know anything about how social they are.</p>

<p>As an incoming freshman, you’ll register for classes on the last day of summer orientation. There will be advisors at orientation to help you decide which classes to take, but I’d recommend taking a look at it before orientation so that you’re better prepared to ask more insightful questions of the advisors.</p>

<p>I don’t think any (socially normal) out-of-state student needs to take a summer class to get acclimated to campus. I don’t consider myself a super social person, but I still made plenty of friends during orientation, and learned the layout of campus. When I came back in August, I was all ready to go.</p>

<p>@freshman12: If your rushing for the big sororities (IE. Zeta, Chi-O, ADPi, etc.) most Greek Girls live in Hardin House, SRD (Scotish-Rite), or the University Towers.</p>

<p>That’s true, but it’s probably a bad idea, as I explained in another thread.</p>

<p>Any thoughts on the Quarters (neuces) for an off-campus living? how do you rate it? I would like to focus on studies for next fall and therefore prefer less loud apartment complex than surrounding ones…please help</p>

<p>I recommend living on campus, but if you’re absolutely set on living in an apartment, Quarters is one of the “nicer” ones that are close to campus (from what I hear). It’s a bit expensive though, unless you have a roommate. I can’t really tell you much about noise though… sorry!</p>
