@UT2324 so what was his Plan B? My DD was headed to CAP at UTSA.
@UT2324 that’s awesome. My McCombs bound son will be a third-generation Longhorn as well with his grandfather and my wife and I being Texas Exes. With my son being a review applicant to McCombs, we were mentally prepared for that tradition to end so I know how relieved and happy you guys must fill.
…and congrats to you @TXDad56 I know that for COLA admitted students like your daughter, there’s really no downside to PACE.
@TXDad56 Probably A&M—too many AP credits, desire for a 4 year experience, the low chances of transferring into McCombs (or UT at all), & wounded pride made CAP incompatible for him.
@fatherof2boys yes, it will be fun for him. He will have an uncle & up to 5 first cousins (depending where 2 his age choose to go) attending UT next year. He had no hope for a successful appeal, so the admission to McCombs was a shock—glad he threw the Hail Mary. Now I have to turn around & do this again next year with his sister who is thankfully an AA.
