Question Thinking of going to UT Austin for Grad School, anyone in the Grad Guitar program? Whats the Environment like?

• Upvotes

Alan Holzman seems like a dope guy but after you get accepted is it competitive? Is it like other classical programs where people have these egos? Is there more of a community feeling? What are the other music majors like?

Why is this? I am just confused as I’ve heard people’s financial aid have been adjusted in the past and mine didn’t for this year. I q dropped to below 12 hours both last fall and last spring.

Question Coffin's French Revolution/Napoleon (HIS 353)

1 Upvotes

Basically the title: Does anyone have any experience taking this class with Judith Coffin? It seems incredibly interesting and the professor seems absolutely amazing; the structure of the course and the grading details are just scaring me a tinge...

Any other recommendations for a cool history class (for my degree, it must be a European History course) would be awesome as well!

Thank y'all so much for your help!!! :)

I am planning to take the following classes as a math major: M427J H, M341 H, M378K, M328K, and Dean’s seminar(assuming I get Dean’s for internal CNS transfer app)

I am currently taking the following classes as a freshman: M427L H, M325K, M362K, and UGS.

I currently have an A in all my classes, and the workload is very manageable.

Question Freshman Undeclared CLA applying to School of Economics or McCombs. What are my chances to getting accepted

1 Upvotes

I’m an undeclared CLA freshman that was not accepted directly to McCombs nor the Economics Dept.
Currently taking Macro Econ and Calc 1 and then Micro and Calc 2 in the spring. To hopefully apply for internal transfer as a sophomore

I’m nervous I might not get accepted to either major (seems like GPA is all they look at, and Cal 1 and Cal 2 are challenging courses that business majors don’t even have to take) Problem is I already have enough AP credits and basics that by sophomore year I would need to start taking intro courses within these majors to stay in the 4 year plan to graduate. So if I don’t get in,I’m screwed, and I’m not really interested in a Sociology Major or the like.

Do you guys have any advice on how to improve my chances for internal transfer besides high GPA. Particular people or advisers to talk to , specific professors/classes to take, organizations to join, any advice would really help. Specifically if you guys had success transferring. Recommendations, etc. thank you

I guess this university just wants me to be homeless cos theyre gonna kick us out of dobie and force us to pay for the expensive dorms including the brand new one :-::: idc if y'all say dobie was in bad shape my room was PERFECT and im gonna miss her <//3 maybe i wouldn't be so mad if they told us AHEAD of time like before people put down a deposit, even if they refund it like when youre low income that shit really matters. i'm just really upset that they handled this so poorly

Question Has anyone taken CS378 Building AI Agents / CS378 Agentic Software Engineering, or the new version of M427J Diff Eq?

7 Upvotes

I'm considering taking Building AI Agents (CS 378) or Agentic Software Engineering (CS 378), but I think last semester was the first time either was offered, so I haven't been able to find much info about them.

If anyone has taken either class, would you recommend it? Were they actually interesting/useful, and how do they compare to other CS classes in terms of workload and difficulty?

Also, has anyone taken M427J since they got rid of the online exams? I'm wondering how manageable it is to do well now, especially compared to classes like physics, intro bio, or chem.

Hello everyone, my advisor informed me that I have a chance of testing out of RHE306 if I take the TSI essay and pass it. I was wondering if anyone had input on good study materials or how the test was like? I wanted to know if it was even common to pass this exam with a 7 or 8? Any input would be great!

Hello! I’m a senior undergraduate Human Biology major at UT Austin looking for shadowing or clinical experience opportunities in the Austin area. I’m interested in surgery, but I’d be grateful for an opportunity in any specialty or clinical setting.
I’ve reached out to several doctors by email but haven’t had much luck. If you know a physician who allows students to shadow or have any advice on finding opportunities, please send me a DM or leave a comment. Thank you!

Question Advice on Minor Selection

1 Upvotes

I was looking into the minors available and I have got it down to a few, however you can only minor in 1 thing. I got it down to either Buisness Foundations or Semiconductors. I am a freshman in ECE btw. Anyone who has minored or is currently minroing in these things if you could please share your thoughts it would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking of doing buisness orignally because it makes me more well rounded but I have heard it isn't worth it from some people so I wanted to ask for input from anyone who has taken one of these 3 minors

EDIT: I noticed the semi conductor minor has a lot of overlap with some of my required courses like ECE 411 and ECE 316 which could be good to save time

News UT just fucked over every Dobie 21 Resident

0 Upvotes

It was just barely announced at Dobie 21 will not be accepting contract renewals for the upcoming year. It is not finalized whether the building will be closed or repurposed, although its obvious that it will be repurposed into a commercial building for more profit. In this statement they say that they will allow us early renewal access to other dorms, (like this helps the issue at all), because the truth is that all of the apartments and similar priced housing is out. And lets be honest every other dorm is $2000 more expensive and twice as shitty. Fuck UT.

Question Advice for FRI stream as a premed

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m a bio major and premed. I need advice for picking streams.

Should I aim for stream that fulfills both bio and chem lab? Some of the stream that I’m looking at only fulfill bio lab credit (like Behavioral Neuroscience). Would that be fine? Or should I try to double dip.

Also, while this might sound lazy, I don’t want stream that are too challenging/super time consuming. I’m aware that each stream provides their own struggle and I’m not expecting to just show up and get an A, but I don’t really want to have to constantly worry over getting an A or not.
