What students say PRO
From students' own posts on Reddit and admissions forums: self-reported, unverified, never used in your odds.
- Most admits who posted scores had very high ones: about 1450+ SAT or 34+ ACT, often with GPAs of 3.8 or above.
- Many admits, especially in CS and engineering, had real technical work: research papers, internships, apps, open-source projects, robotics or cybersecurity contests.
- Many admits founded something, like a nonprofit, a coding or robotics club, a tutoring business or a charity chapter.
- Many admits held leadership roles, such as captain, club president, student council or section leader, often in several activities at once.
- Many admits did steady tutoring or volunteering, from about 150 to 500 hours, in food pantries, hospitals or youth programs.
- Students report a UT Dallas merit scholarship, such as the AES award, can bring out-of-state and international students down to in-state tuition, with awards of roughly 17k to 28k a year.
- Students report international scholarship money can be rare or absent, and some still face large yearly costs.
- Students report applying late can rule out merit scholarships, so applying early matters for aid.
- Students report decision timing varies, with portal status changing before the letter and some holistic files taking about four weeks or more.
- Students report transcript and test-score delivery problems, and the school wants online or sealed transcripts, not emailed copies.
