UT Admission Decisions - CAP / PACE Info + Appealing Your Rejection | University of Texas at Austin

[@LynetteAdkins]

What decision did you receive from UT and what do you plan to do next? Let me know!

[@DSSabra]

Lynette Adkins I got in! I have my BHP interview tomorrow, pretty nervous. Any tips?

[@LynetteAdkins]

Congrats!! Just be yourself and remain confident, good luck!!

Hi Lynette, Thanks for your videos they’re super informative. My daughter just got offered the CAP program and she’s wondering if she can attend any other University besides the ones offered on the UT website and she’s able to qualified to any scholarships freshmen year and when she transfers to UT.

[@LynetteAdkins]

@@gic1839 Hi congrats! For the CAP program, she can only go to a UT system school. For scholarships, UT will not likely offer any scholarships to her but she can still apply to external ones and complete the FAFSA to receive other forms of financial aid from UT!

[@davidkra5]

I got capped from UT McCombs. Going to appeal but getting ready to attend UH’s business school and hopefully transfer. But I was looking at McComb’s external transfer statistics and it is HIGHLY selective. Looks like I’m never gonna go to UT😔 and I live in Austin too :(

[@jessetijerina4414]

Enjoying these really informative videos! You’ve taught me so much about UT that it pushes me to work harder so I reach my goal of getting accepted. Keep up the great work!

[@LynetteAdkins]

Jesse Tijerina Thank you!! I’m glad they’ve been helpful❤️

[@LekeO]

I received the CAP offer for both UT and the CAP equivalent of Texas A&am safe to say disappointed but this video made me more optimistic about the situation. Thanks 🙌

[@LynetteAdkins]

I'm glad it could help!!

[@willtownsend7923]

Hi I got offered CAP last night. If I appeal will UT prioritize people who got offered CAP? Meaning do you have a better chance of getting in to UT if you got CAPed vs those that didn’t?

[@dg0210]

I’m not usually this early but I just wanted to know, thank you for all these informative videos! It really has opened my eyes on college life especially at UT! 🤘

[@LynetteAdkins]

DG 02 so glad they could help!

loonatheworld thank you!!

[@sage_in_palmmall5301]

CAP right now feels like my only chance at going to college. I'm really worried it's going to hurt in the long run, because I'm a film major, and I don't know if it'll help me with that. The only UT school I can go to doesn't have a film major course. Reading through the CAP requirements makes me feel like I'm being punished.

[@tristiandavis6852]

I’m not trying to be rude but why are you going to college in Texas for film? You don’t need a degree to be a screen writer, director, or producer. Why pay $40-$100k for a degree that holds no weight. That’s honestly a terrible financial decision. You’d be better off moving to LA or New York and meeting people to network and make films with there. Plus why stress yourself out with CAP and getting into UT? I can see if you had a full ride but UT is super hard both to get into and graduate from, a film degree holds no value other than being on campus and meeting people that’s it. Just trying to help.

[@theem843]

I got CAP, I plan on attending UTA for my first year. For my financial aid packet how does this work out?

[@kalysuarez1109]

Same for me!

[@sierra2687]

me too:)

[@user-vx2fw7qe1n]

The cap schools filled up in 30 seconds, not an hour, not going to ut Tyler soooooooooooo Wish me luck going to utsa as a regular student.

[@karma_luvic8981]

Does EVERYONE get offered CAP? Did anyone actually get rejected?

[@GeneralDerpington]

So basically from what I know, CAP isn’t offered to everyone who’s rejected. Apparently if they meet some sort of requirement they are offered CAP instead of an actual rejection. Just found out I got capped for my decision, but I honestly thought I was going to get rejected, so I’m hyped. Anyways, just wanna wish you good luck! 👍

[@map5948]

@@GeneralDerpington ahhh I just got capped too, I just finished crying :) idk if I want to do it or not 😭I was thinking on going to Tyler but I don’t knowwww still waiting to hear back from A&M

[@tristiandavis6852]

Cap/ pace is only offered to like 1,000 people they said on the website out of like 30,000 that got rejected

[@Abc-lh8vy]

What about there nursing school? I got offered cap but I’m wondering is it worth it.

[@perlas8680]

I’m in the same place. I heard it’s better to transfer than cap, as it’s very competitive and they’re basically set on who they accepted as their freshmen. But it’s not impossible.I’m planning to try nursing and if it works out I am staying in my program. If I change my plans, then I will accept the liberal arts plan.

[@miav_film]

Hi! I recently just accepted into the PACE program and I have a question (anyone can answer) if I do PACE can my AP and Dual Credits still be transferred or will I have to retake those classes ?

[@aydencorrea5326]

I recently got accepted into the PACE program! Which was the one UT class that you took your freshman year? Is the one UT class, that you take each semester, the same for all PACE students? P.S. Thank you for your informational videos. It really relieved so much unnecessary stress and anxiety while I was waiting for my decision. I thought of you when I got accepted, and it’s reassuring to see someone be successful after this program :)

[@LynetteAdkins]

Congrats!! That is so awesome, I'm so glad the vids could help! The classes you'll be taking are a UGS (a class every freshman at UT takes about a random topic of your choosing), and then Spring semester you can take whatever. So no, it's not the same for all PACE students. You will be in an additional class with all of the PACE students though for both semesters, which is basically a weekly meeting with the PACE advisor. Hope that makes sense!

[@misseali1]

My son was offered PACE last night! He was just shy of auto admit, applied for Econ/Govt, so this is a very attractive offer and pleasant surprise!

[@aviayalas8013]

I’m doing UTSA CAP!

[@LynetteAdkins]

Congrats!! San antonio is awesome

[@webkinzmomaty]

My son is autistic/learning disability but they accepted (Iona) before anything and then we went to freshman outing paid $400 and then rejected him into CAP How??? Debbie

[@TrophieRosie]

Was it difficult for you to juggle between ACC and UT? What was your transportation? I’m thinking of commuting due to financial problems. P.S I loved this video, it definitely helped me have a better look into the PACE program as I don’t know anyone who is doing PACE

[@salvalerio1231]

How would CAP work for a student going in with 61 dual credit college hours?

[@LynetteAdkins]

Sal Valerio You would probably take classes that you need for your desired major during your year at CAP. You can log your credits before you start your first year. Your advisor will definitely help walk you through it and make sure your credits show up in the system!

[@alondracastillo1415]

how affordable is the UT Cap program?

[@bimwamensy1610]

what’s better CAP or PACE

[@tristiandavis6852]

Definitely Pace by a long shot! You get to be on campus and save tons of money while being allowed to do normal student stuff.

[@mariajuliamarinho1243]

i got offered the cap program but the major i want is in the fine arts. do you have information if the cap program will benefit me in some way or i’ll just be a transfer student at the end?

[@mariajuliamarinho1243]

also thank you for the video :)

[@LynetteAdkins]

Maria Júlia Marinho Hey congrats! From what I’ve heard the fine arts program at UT is super competitive, so it may be hard to get in by transfer. Def call UT and get their opinion asap!

[@wangwanting5556]

Maria Júlia Marinho I'm cap transfer to fine arts for fall 2020

[@lesliesalazar1038]

I got offered the CAP program but I don’t know if I should do that or transfer from ACC

[@LynetteAdkins]

Leslie Salazar CAP 100%, if you just go to ACC you risk then rejecting you when you try to transfer

[@aimiepierce1128]

hi lynette! I got offered cap but I really want to get into the PACE program, I was wondering in my appeal If I could mention my interest in the pace program?

[@LynetteAdkins]

aimie pierce I would definitely give it a shot but I’d be a little bit worried about you missing the enrollment period for CAP while waiting on your answer :/

[@lynnpham3095]

I want to take the CAP offer but everyone around me keeps saying it’s not worth it and that i’d be wasting a year...

[@LynetteAdkins]

it's worth it if you want to go to UT

[@Jadonk01]

its not worth it if you don't want to be a liberal arts major

[@jasminetrevino1954]

@jadon I want to major in theatre arts. What do you think as far as me accepting the cap agreement. Will it be worth it?

[@chenpd245]

Hey Lynette Adkins, I am CAP program , is it possible to get in college of nature science if gpa 4.0？ literally, it will be small chance or big chance ? How many credit hours will be good for transfer in UT ? Thanks so much . I appreciate that .

so in a nutshell... CAP=REJECTION. Damn

[@sierra2687]

if you maintain a 3.2 at uta or utsa it’s automatic acceptance into ut for your sophomore year as opposed to going somewhere else where you’d need to reapply and risk rejection. hope this helps:)

[@michellehua4493]

@@sierra2687 For what major though? If I wanted to go into Public health would I be able to transfer to there through cap?

[@sierra2687]

@@michellehua4493 it’s automatic acceptance into the liberal arts school. im not sure what school public health is in but if it’s not that then u have to apply to that school at ut your sophomore yr and risk getting stuck in the liberal arts school.

[@michellehua4493]

@@sierra2687 Ok, thanks for the answer! I also have another question that I just thought of, let's say I get into the CAP program and then after one year, I transfer into a liberal arts major. Could I, in theory, then transfer to another major outside of liberal arts at UT after a semester?
