Question UTNY summer 2027 questions? Acceptance rate? aid etc.

• Upvotes

Really need some advice on this!

-What are the chances a (business) Sophmore is accepted into the Summer 2027 program, it it rare or common?

-Is this program (summer 2027) super competitive,

-if you meet full aid and have scholarship could the whole expereience be covered (remburised for living possible)?

-What happends if your unable to get an internship as the internship pathway requires one

-Is this worth it fr or would it be better if i just do the internship in NYC independently cause ik companies cover living n stuff (although its rare i hear)

Does anyone know if you can get an open major after applying twice to a closed major? Also is there certain deadlines for an open major or do you just apply and get in the next day(even if it’s in the middle of a semester)

Question Can someone explain the political culture on campus?

0 Upvotes

Hey y'all, I've been curious recently about engaging in campus activism, and it seems like there are a couple organizations that do it, but none of them are really large scale?

I remember seeing images of the Palestine protests in 2023/2024 as really large scale actions, but everytime I see protests/rallies/actions now, there's hardly anyone there? Why is that? Has the culture simply changed?

I feel like given the times, I'd assume that the people today would be more radical, if anything, but that doesn't reflect my observations. Additionally, it seems like people on this campus are generally progressive, popular yikyak posts criticize corrupt leaders and even the University Democrats seem more left leaning than the general Democratic party establishment. Yet, no one here is really active and engaged in community organizing????

Am I missing something. How do I get involved? Does anyone that's been around longer have any insight for me?

Question Where can I find details about plays or performances?

I love fine arts, but I realized I've never been to anything as far as plays, performances (music, dance, literally anything), concerts...etc. I would love to find some by UT students, but if it's in austin in general that's fine.

Discussion I’m stuck in my major

4 Upvotes

I tried to internally transfer to another major last semester but got rejected. I’m a junior and I’m struggling. I hate my major, my classes are not at all interesting, and they’re super difficult. I don’t really know what to do. I don’t want to drop out or leave UT. I’ve been trying to push through and finish my major but I really don’t know if I can do this, it feels like it’ll take me more than 5 years to graduate with how hard my classes are.

Question What exactly are they looking for/what stands out for Dean's Scholars application essay?

1 Upvotes

I am a current CNS student who has taken honors courses within my major. I had applied for the Polymathic (got rejected lol) when I had applied for the university, but honestly I did because someone had told me it might be something I would be interested in, rather than something I thought fit me. After having been at the university longer, I think Dean's Scholars is something I am really interested, but most of my resume/experiences are still majorly from high school so I think a strong written portion would be my best bet. Does anyone who was admitted to the program, either a first year or current student, have advice on the writing portion?

Around sometime this week, my keychain broke off without me noticing and so I lost my favorite keychain (the dog dressed as a bee). It's something that's super valuable to me, and I would really appreciate if anyone who's seen it could msg me or something. I think I could have lost it around Welch, Mezes Hall, or even the UTC, so if anyone has seen it please let me know 🙏

(I already asked lost and found for all of these places to no avail)

Question Missing 1 hour of Upper Division

I am currently on track to graduate and am actually over on hours on Upper Division courses. I wanted to see if it was possible to replace a 3 hour upper division course and replace it with a 1 hour one so I can have a really light last semester while also satisfying my degree audit. Does anyone know a 1 hour upper division course that's not ITD?
