Hello! I’m an incoming CAP student starting at UTA this year and wanted to ask for some advice from anyone who successfully made it to Austin through CAP.
For anyone who transferred to UT through CAP, how likely is it to get into Economics? I know it isn’t guaranteed, but advisors have been telling me that as long as you have a 3.7+ GPA you have a high chance. I’m not sure how reliable that is.
For housing, when did y’all start looking for an apartment for your second year? Are there any apartments or areas you’d recommend or avoid? I know dorms will be extremely hard to get, so where would y’all recommend living since I’ll basically be a freshman?
For people who are living off-campus near UT, how did you find roommates?
Also for any CAP kids who joined a sorority/frat, what was the process like for you? Was there a stigma around CAP kids, or were people chill?
Literally ANY other CAP advice, tips, or things you wish you knew going into your first year would be super helpful!:)
