So as someone who got his daughter Taylor Swift tickets and is pretty decent at getting Disneyland dining options at the crack of dawn, I could have a chance?
Is it you are offered CAP and then the campus selection is right then or is it later after you accept the offer?
We went on a drive out to Tyler to look at azaleas and just did a drive around UT-Tyler just to see if that's the fallback option if she was offered CAP. Very small but if you're only doing a year, not terrible. I don't think UTA would be a dealbreaker for mine since we live in Dallas. UTSA would be the most ideal but I get why that's the hardest to pull off.
She has a good number of AP credits right now so I guess we'd have to navigate how not to lose those. It's interesting with the summer work. She's taking some online classes with Dallas College right now. I was admitted into UT in the summer of 94 as a provisional student. I was a dumbass who slacked off when I could've just worked a little bit harder to get automatic acceptance back then. Decent grades but just below the cutoff for automatic. I also didn't take the SAT seriously. I had to take a full load in the summer of 94 and didn't manage the GPA that was required to be fully admitted. I then had to decide if I was going to slink back home in shame to attend community college in Dallas or try to get back into UT at ACC. I chose the latter and I'm glad I did but I'm happy they don't offer that program any longer. I definitely missed out on making friends and the freshman experience so I am cautious to have her go through that. As I said upthread, she's had something similar her freshman year of high school so that also plays into whether she would want to do CAP if offered. She's not as gung ho about Texas as your kid. She's been there with her UT On Ramps English class but it wasn't a full tour. I may drive her down and we do the full thing in the Fall. I can show her all the places her mom and I went, the dorm her mom stayed in, the new development that was once my old apartment on Nueces.
