Should I still apply? (UT related)

<p>Hello everyone, I need some advice about applying to UT (for OOS).</p>

<p>Originally, I intended to apply to UT and A&M for Texas schools. However, a few days ago I learned that the deadline to apply for major scholarships was December 1st. Crud. I still intend to apply to A&M though, because it might be affordable after sending in the required forms.</p>

<p>However, UT is way more expensive for OOS. I would love to go there, but without some major financial aid it looks like it wont be happening. Should I still apply? Including UT i'm applying to five schools.</p>

<p>Also, both schools share the A&B essay prompts. Two of the essays I wrote are pretty good, and the other two are pretty average. While I originally intended to send the good essays to UT (more selective) and the two average essays to A&M, if I didn't apply to UT I could use my good essays for A&M. And of course, I could save some money on application fees. </p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>edit: 3.9 gpa and 2040 SAT if that helps</p>

<p>Well you should definitely still send to ut. they sent me an email when I missed the deadline and the thing is you arent completely ineligible…you just arent a priority for scholarships. So you could take the chance…with a school such a ut with the pull of top 10%ers your chances will probablly be about the same anyhow. just my opinion. and where are you from? just curious seeing ass you’re trying to be OOS</p>

<p>From Minnesota. Kind of an odd to place to apply to UT from, but it’s an excellent school.</p>

<p>O Ok. I live in texas myself and have visited several times. Its not for me but then again I’m sort of a weirdo as far as my college choices my friends say. Just about everyone I know is going there.</p>
