1. Yes, the requirements change based on college. Different colleges have different flag requirements, for example.

2. As a McCombs person, you are REQUIRED to be in a FIG. Unfortunately, most of these are generic FIGs with your standard freshman classes, not the cool ones they have in COLA.

3. Some hunting will yield classes that can cover BOTH a flag and a core requirement. For example, some of the UGS 303 classes also carry a writing flag, some don’t.

4. Online sources like reddit give honest answers about classes/profs that are good/not good. Search “ut” + course/prof name + “reddit”.

5. You certainly DO have the best shot of getting what you want by attending an earlier orientation.
