    There are alot of stupid s at UTSA that probably shouldnt be in college. But that isnt completely indicative of the faculty/type of education you get there...theres only so much a good teacher can do. If youre smart, which I clearly am, then the education you get there is perfectly fine tbh.
    O yeah, I know what you mean. I was fine with my Bio degree at UTSA. Its not like I couldn't compete with all the UT and A&M grads when I got into dental school. This final year of dental school, I ended up dating a first year who went to undergrad at U-Miami, which is clearly a much better school, but I had to help her so much because she struggled with the hard sciences.

    Honestly though, Pre-Dental (and even Pre-Med to an extent) is an entirely different beast since undergrad is treated as just a place for pre-reqs. Better schools obviously look great on applications, but I've known people from UTSA and even crappier schools like UH-Clear Lake getting into places like Harvard Dental, etc.

    Can't speak on other people's post-graduation experience from UTSA cuz I have no idea. My ex-roommate is an engineer and apparently he's doing just fine. Not a baller by any means, but he's feeding his family.

    Is UTSA like UTEP? Ive worked with a few engineers from UTEP and they were all pretty sharp.
    UTSA isn't in the same class as UTEP. Even if you use those Hispanic rankings, UTEP engineering is higher.

    Speaking of UT Austin, last year their law program moved into T14 status. I know it sucks to be a lawyer right now, but it's something I've always wanted to do and it's damn tempting, considering tuition is only roughly 60% of the cost of the other top programs.
    tbh, the only way you're getting a semi-decent job (in Texas) in this market is by either joining a firm that has a family member as a partner, or by going to UT-Law. Law school = high school 2.0 though; be ready for that.

    I thought Baylor is touted pretty highly as well?

    UT grads get first dibs at the big jobs, and you don't have to be top 10%. Baylor is strong in its own right (and I actually think its grads are more "courtroom ready" when they finish school), but it doesn't have the UT pedigree, requiring you to do really well to sniff those big law jobs statewide. Baylor is a strong choice if you're looking to stay in the Dallas area tho.

    Its pretty hard getting a job (one that you would like at least) right now huh? My ex's sister hated working for the Texas Supreme Court so she moved to Houston and is jobless as of right now since all the available ones were apparently. And she went to U-Miami. Not a bad school.

    I graduated in 08. Market for lawyers was beginning to experience its downturn (had some friends who had summered at the V&Es and Fulbrights and ended up not getting offers whereas before it was pretty much a lock to stay with those firms following graduation). My wife graduated from another law school last year and really had to hustle to find a job even though she was top 5% at her school.

    Studying in an Asian university where as I've read from the thread is different form the American college system, I'm curious how the SAT tests work. Is there like a minimum SAT score for each university? And if so, how are the SAT tests graded?

    maybe if you buy a smaller car (which DPG is perfectly suited in) you will save alot on gas cost, and DPG is so rich he never gets bothered by losing online bets so money ain't at all an issue for him imho
    I would disown being scros with Lincoln, if he went to Arkansas where obviously they only offer majors relating to fornicating with very close family members.
    I laughed

    Damn that sucks ass. I feel fortunate that I can pretty much get a job anywhere with my profession. Dentists in general are getting old and are ready to get bought out. Worst case scenario, I can work in a clinic situation.

    Its just a standardized test. The higher you get, the better chance you have of getting accepted to better schools.

    Can't speak for predents but getting into schools like Harvard medical school ain't so easy. While performances in undergrad, MCAT, and shadowing are very important, research is gradually becoming a must for applicants, especially if those applicants are considering matriculating into upper tier schools. As such, one thing I've noticed between all the prehealth professions is that research is highly recommended for premeds, especially if one is aiming to matriculate into schools like John Hopkins and Stanford. All the upper and some mid-tier medical schools compete with each other in that area...something I am for and against for various reasons but that's a totally different discussion altogether.

    as you know DPG is a horrible human being, how come you happen to share the identical haughtiness and ty personalities he has?
    I would never bash someone for not willing to make a 180 mile commute or for not working enough during college tbh. I am a much more likeable person than him imo.

    If you are still thinking about this, up at 5AM, it probably rings somewhat true. The only question that needs to be asked/answered (and you can do that without going into too much detail) is: Was it possible at all to make the decision to go to UT? If so, choosing to go to UTSA (which I have not made fun of you for, and which is fine if that is your best play) was your choice and all the other reasons where just excuses (even if it would have been difficult).

    But I'm not arguing with you today - you welshed and spammed with Shemale porn which is why everyone argues with you. The school stuff was just an aside and I even congrat'd you if you are truly pursuing your degree.
    Its called being reasonable, not making excuses. And hardly anyone argues with me here its only angry little guys like you that do that.

    You are the Shemale porn guy. The only way to escape that is to stop acting like a tool, talking basketball and just admitting it was really stupid to do that. We'll see if you have that in you.
