[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Longhorn alum here. I didn't do business, but UT has a big business school. There's a business honors program too. UT is huge so you can really study anything you want, join any organization, there are lots of recruiters for internships etc -- there are a lot of opportunities IF you're a self-starter. Being in an honors program or some other smaller cohort program helps. There is a big Greek scene but since it's such a big school there's a big non-Greek scene, too -- I only had one friend who was in a sorority. I loved Austin. The city is so much fun and the food is amazing. Getting in out of state can be tough though because the top 6% of grads from any any HS in Texas are automatically admitted. Best of luck to your DD![/quote]

OP here - thank you so much. Good reality check for her.

Austin sounds like a great city for the young especially. We will visit but it is good to tamper expectations. [/quote]

PP here. One other thing - as another poster mentioned, getting into the business school is competitive esp. for OOS students and getting into liberal arts is easier. But there are options for non-business majors to do minors in business or special business topics. Looks like one of them is specially for econ majors (which is in liberal arts): https://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/Business-Options

As I mentioned there are a lot of resources like this at UT to get to study what you want, so of your daughter falls in love with UT, she may want to consider applying to both business and liberal arts. Just a thought. Good luck.[/quote]
