I applied to the FRI on the last day of the early cycle. How hard is it to make FRI as a CS major? I heard that there’s also streams; can someone explain how that works, and how hard is it to get into a stream of your choice?

Also, does the FRI have any benefits beyond freshman year? I heard that it is not easy to do research at UT if you’re not in the honors program, which I am not in.

Thanks!
