Yes I will be looking into UT austin as well. I was lucky enough to be offered PACE so I would be able to transfer to UT Austin as a sophomore but turned it down. My single mom and I are moving to Houston in september and with 4 sibling to feed there would not be any way for me to leave my family to go to austin’s community college. Sometimes I wish UT austin didnt admit most students by rank. I think I wouldve had a decent shot in getting in but I digress.

But yes I will apply to UT austin as well as Columbia university at the end of my 2nd year. the thing that makes Columbia more appealing ,from a financial point of view, is that I would fall under those who get free tuition.this is not the reason why I wanted to go to Columbia in the first place but it certainly helps. Granted I am still in the middle of researching about this rule so i do not know if there are specific requirements or hidden fees. I do plan to research more after I get home from work.

Congratulations!! You must have been so happy getting accepted. It seems like a dream of a dream for me right now as I unload trucks and get screeched at by customers !It’s very inspiring for people like me to see those who have made it. So thank you again!

oh may I ask if you were from a competitive community college?
