you all are amazing or rather your kids are. i’m sure you’ll end up at a great place for you.
In state，capped， CS
@FriscoDad thanks for the reply. Just for my understanding, CAP is only for COLA. If any other major is to be pursued at UT Austin, you will have to apply again as transfer student for that major and there is a possibility that you may not get that major and rejected all together.

If I do the CAP program will I be guaranteed admission for economics and if not is it really that competitive or should it be relatively easy ?
You should check with the admissions office and the department. I have gotten different answers every year (3 years ago for my older son and last year). I think they keep changing this policy
Rejected.

did anyone recieve honors with their admission? it seems like most people have honors under review. for honors, cns specifically in my case, is the extended resume the most important thing? and if I am non-auto will it hurt my chances, or will my rank be re-reviewed holistically as I’ve already been admitted
Good luck! That was my major, many moons ago.

OOS DS Denied/rejected. 1580/4.0uw; 10APs; national awards, great ECs, etc URM
Tough process; very little predictive value for any school with small percentage of admittance (<20%). One thing for sure: All students on this thread are very hard workers with amazing potential and U will find your place!

When I see students like yours get rejected I get sad and mad at the colleges! Good thing: students who achieve this much in high school will thrive in college and beyond regardless of the name of the college they graduate from. Good luck to your son!

We filed the FAFSA in October and listed UT Austin on top of the list. All the other schools on list have acknowledged receiving FAFSA yet UT Austin financial tab says my son hasn’t filed it.
Is that they are still updating the portals for financial aid or do I need to get in touch with them. Anyone ?
Computer science major?
