@asiantexan101 if you apply early you’ll likely get into the regular honors program, for the CS2 comp sci honors program you need to test into the program, they only accept a max of 30 students a year. You can read more about it here: https://www.utdallas.edu/~ivor/ComputingScholars/

From what I’ve heard, students in the CS2 program have been offered some amazing internships.

FYI, UTA is UT Arlington but I think you meant UT Austin? If you are serious about going to a Texas state school you might want to think about getting some of the core/gen ed requirements out of the way while you are still in high school. Every TX state school requires Texas Government and most CC’s offer this as an on line course. It’s usually cheaper and easier to take it a CC to get it out of the way.

You can see what credits you’ll get for your AP classes at UTD here:

They are pretty generous but no credit for world history or AP Comp Sci Principles.
