Ya, cause the real answer (at least when I was going to college) was Tech and/or Texas State.

I mean UTD at one point was offering full rides if you had high grades. Wish UT offered that 15 years ago

a 1470 on my SAT rewarded me with $0 in scholarships for a school that's more expensive than UT itself. my high school GPA was nothing to write home about but ffs i had a 1470!!

You’ll never guess how much scholarship Princeton gave me for my 1510

Oh, you guessed $0? Nevermind then

UTD is actually a pretty decent school on its own rights these days. One of the only ones that doesn’t do the CAP program IIRC. UTA is probably a more realistic option.

Some of the smartest engineers I've met went to UTD. My cousin works I forget for which company in San Francisco, her husband works for Meta, and a number of her classmates met are at places ranging from Apple to Goldman Sachs. Crazy how many smart people I've met there.

Yeah UTD is a really good school from everything I've heard. Their computer science program in particular gets advertised all over DFW and is supposed to be really solid.

They're quietly rushing for the #2 spot in the UT system. Might even have it already.

Doing a couple of years at UTSA then transferring to UT was a real big thing when I graduated in 2010 too I remember that
