<p>Is UT diverse? or are whites only with whites…etc., Asians seen as outcasts??</p>
<p>What do you think my chances are?
I’m out of state. My GPA is a 3.3 because I got a couple C’s in freshman and beginning of sophomore year, but since then I have improved dramatically (As and Bs now). 29 ACT. I’m in the full IB program. I’m captain of my nationally acredited robotics team and 20+ other community service activities over 3 years. I’ve recieved three awards from my community for my service, I lobbied in Washington D.C. for No Child Left Behind and the Whole Child Initiative with NPTA lobbyists and spoke with representatives, I was a deans list nominee (highest honor for students on robotics teams) and worked part time. My sister is a teachers assistant at UT and said my essays were written better than those of most of her students (I thought they were pretty unique) and an awesome teachers rec.
What are my chances?? :(</p>
<p>I know that UT-Austin has been on the top 20 party school list quite frequently(though it isn’t on it this year).I’m kind of scared by UT’s party reputation because I’m not the type who goes out to drink and party. So my question is, is it possible to have fun at UT with out being the partying type? And do you feel pressured to party and drink at UT? Thanks for answering these questions and sharing your experiences at UT Austin.</p>

<p>UT Austin is a top party school because it is a HUGE school in a city that caters to a somewhat “carefree” and open lifestyle.</p>
<p>Luckily, not everyone subscribes to every specific thing and you should have no problem finding a group of people that has the same interests as you.</p>
<p>Which dorms (non-honors dorms) have the least amount of drinking/partying? I want a quieter dorm but quieter in the non-partying sense, not the anti-social sense.</p>
