Look into the billions of schools down here in SA.

Also, U of H, Tech, and UTD are decent choices.

UTEP is filled with beaners, but it's actually a good school. Just don't go out anywhere at night or stray bullets from Juarez will kill you.

Also, look at NMSU and UNM, they have deals where they'll charge in-state tuition to Texans.

Go to a card-dealer school, if there's any nearby.

UTD. I love Dallas.

is UNT any good? I was kinda under the impression it was a faggy liberal arts and theatre bastion.

>>5800663
I would only go there if you want to major in music. If not, then I would pass.

if you have any chance of leaving texas at all, do it. tired of this shithole

incredibly unpleasant what school do you go to?

>>5800663

UNT is shit, go to UTA or UTD, probably UTA if you want to major in engineering/comp sci

>>5800718
UTSA.

I had the grades and scores to go to Austin, but I wanted to save some money.

>>5800741

by UTA i mean UT Arlington

Dude, seriously, your parents are right.
There is absolutely no point in going to an expensive university over a cheap in-state one. I am in my fourth year at a private school and while it's been fun, I regret it every day. I could have gone in-state and had no debt.

God, the sky is sooooo fucking blue. It's a fucking sapphire. First time I've missed Austin in a while.

>>5800742
>I had the grades and scores to go to Austin, but I wanted to save some money.
i hear that. UH fag here.

>Implying college is worth the terrible debt and time wasted you could've been accumulating work experience if you're not a doctor, lawyer, or engineer.

Go to TAMIU. Meet lots of Mexifags. Feel superior.

I can give you the DL on a few of the schools in San Antonio, OP.

But if I were you, I would go to ACC for two years, then transfer to Austin. Just commute and save yourself major monies.

Youd be pretty stupid to not go to a in state college since shit is expensive as fuck if youre an out of state kid. Shit I go to a community college & for out of state kids its around 5K a semester.

what are the chances of someone who is on the edge of top 25% and mostly B's in high school with a 1800 out of 2400 SAT getting into UT?

>>5800970
20%.
80% of their undergraduate class is kids in the top 10%.

>>5801006
god damn it. what can I do to improve that then? thanks

>>5801048
Nothing. Write a good essay, say a hail mary or two, and apply to a few mid-tier state schools.

I'm here to help you if you are interested in coming to SA, OP.

>>5801061

yeah man, i've considered going to UTSA. I've got an interesting educational background, I was homeschooled until high school so my english and grammar skills are fucking unprecedented while I am cripplingly bad at math and most science. I don't know what that leaves me in a college environment but I'm open to suggestion.

>>5801295
UTSA is really chill. Make sure you get into the Honors college though. It's totally worth the effort -- trust me.

UIW is alright too. They are pretty kind with scholarships, and the campus is nice. Trinity is a little tough to get into, but it's a really nice school (dorms are really pimp too). I can't talk much about OLLU or St. Mary's though. OLLU has a nice campus, but that's about all I know.

>>5801374

i probably wouldn't dorm if I went, I've got some buddies I would probably apartment up with. What's your major?

>>5801431
Most of the private universities will require you to dorm. If you go to Trinity, then it's a good thing. I kid you not: the dorms are partially 4 star suites.

I'm a sociology major, but was once a bio major.

>>5801454

you don't know anybody named brad, do you? long shot.

>>5801454

>sociology major


LOLOLOLOL

>>5801521
Nope. I do not.

>>5801541
Shit's cash, brosef.

It really depends on what you want to major in... My brother just graduated from SHSU.

UT Austin is difficult to get into freshman year b/c of the 10% law. (The top 10% of every HS in Texas get automatic admission into all texas public schools... *eugh*)
One option is to do community college for two years, then transfer. Easier to get in that way.

There's also Rice. If you work the diversity angle enough you can get in (you don't have to be diverse, you just have to be able to talk like you are).

I'm also told U of H Honors is decent.

isn't baylor a decent school?

>>5801639
It's another one of those private, ritzy, Christian schools. It's particularly known for it's female population, who are suppose to be major sluts. But academically, it's alright. For some reason, I think the biology department is really nice.

A&M isn't bad. Yea, there's rednecks and nothing to do sometimes, but as long as you come for engineering and do well, you'll get a job, and avoid the rednecks.

>>5802091

i'm bad at math. I don't see engineering in my future...

>>5800436
>My parents are making me go to college in-state or they won't pay for it.

Tell them they're fucked up control freaks.

>>5802229
Then look into a liberal arts school. St. Mary's, maybe?

>>5802292

i'm tired of christians, friend.

>>5801618
>Rice

If you think A&M is a redneck death cult, you might wanna avoid Rice entirely (plus it's fucking crazy expensive).

Texas State, or whatever the fuck they're calling it now, in San Marcos has pretty good liberal arts programs. I've also had friends go to UT-San Antonio or UT-Arlington after being unable to get into UT-Austin. Plus, UTSA is quite the party school.

Waco SUCKS A BAG OF DICKS. It's a boring, dirty, decrepid, soulless, crime-ridden shithole of a city, so I'd personally avoid Baylor.

>>5802312
UTSA is a party school? Man, I think you are getting it confused with Texas State.

UTSA is a dry campus, brosef.

>>5802308
They are nice institutions. You are really missing a chance if you don't apply to some.

>>5802373

i'm thinking about getting a BA in sociology or english and then going on to get a masters in either english or teaching. I kind of want to teach high school.

don't know if that changes anything.

I would say TCU but Fort Worth is a fucking dump and it's expensive.

Have you heard of Austin College in Sherman? It's supposed to be really good. My aunt went there and she got mainly Bs in high school, her parents weren't exactly rich or poor, but she said that she loved it.

Check that out.

>>5802424
UTSA's sociology department is very small. All the professors fucking kick ass, and because of the size, you really get to know them well.

I can recommend it, but don't be afraid to look into the private schools for English. I am certain their programs are much, much better than UTSA's.

Also, A&M. C. Stuart Mills started his undergrad at A&M, but finished at UT.

>>5802466
C. Wright Mills, excuse me. I always confuse him for John Stuart Mills for some reason.

>>5802446
>Fort Worth is a dump

Amen. I'm stuck here for the rest of the year til graduation then I have to get out of here. DONT COME TO FORT WORTH IF YOU GO TO COLLEGE IN DALLAS, YOU WILL REGRET IT. Less soul than a bag of rocks, drilling for gas in a huge city, no art at all, ultra conservative (it makes Dallas look like Berkeley). Stay away from Fort Worth, Texas

well shit. I come onto here and see a thread involving two colleges I'm applying for.
My two main options are Texas State down in San Marcos, and A&M in Commerce. I live within an hour of Commerce, and my sister went there...also a lot of my friends are going there.

>>5802446
I went to Austin College! Best 4 years I ever spent

I would like to second UTA (in arlington), or UTD.

>>5802490
*John Stuart Mill

You should actually go to class sometime.

>>5802446
>>5802500

I like Fort Worth, actually. Not nearly so good as Austin, where I lived for a while, but definitely serviceable. Helps that I'm banking instead of going into debt, though.

went to UTA for 2 years and transferred to UT here,

On the subject of uta, if you're going to go there, don't fucking commute live on / as close to on campus as possible, theres a ton of cool people and arlington is pretty damn down to earth and can be fun.

Whatever you do, look up the CAPS program, you can get into UT with the grades if you want and tuition is only 4300, as long as your parents aren't HOLYFUCK rich you can probably pull at least 5k out of fagsfa

Texas Tech is the only way to go.
