nclex Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 not according to the professor I spoke with...he specifically said you could apply during your first year at LBJ, and in fact, thats how most of them get in. I read somewhere on the website that you could only apply as a double degree student before matriculating at either McCombs or LBJ... is that true? if it aint, my balance is leaning towards UT heavily!

smoclassof2013 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 It is April 15th, but they said "ASAP". You can just send FAX or e-mail to let them know. Is this the same for MGPS/US students? Son is now waitlisted and wondering how long it might take to hear something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess waitlisted students should hear from LBJ mid to late April when/if admitted students decline their offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimesis Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Just wanted to let those of you on the waitlist know that I just sent in a declination of my admission offer and fellowship, so you all moved up a spot on the list. Hopefully the generous fellowship I received can at least partially (if not fully) be redistributed to those of you who are actually attending LBJ. Congratulations and good luck to all.

CC139 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Do you know how hard is it to get a TA or any type of assistantship as an MPAff student? Or any other student jobs on campus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robuhage Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I need to satisfy the calculus and stat. requirement and have looked into taking classes at my hometown's community college, however I'm living abroad and that just doesn't seem to be feasible for me. Ive looked online and have found some classes offered, but was hoping someone out there, in the same situation as I am, might be able to recommend an affordable school/program. The class and test have to be offered entirely online. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Open House yesterday, Pat Wong said that you can either fulfill the stat and econ pre-reqs by taking a course over the summer, or studying on your own and passing a test they'll give you around the start of school. He said they'll even give you the topics you'll need to know and study materials for the test. If you're the kind of person that's a good self-studier, could be a good option.

CC139 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hey guys, do you know if there is a course list somewhere? I've seen the core courses listed on the website, but what about the electives and specialization courses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimesis Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hey guys, do you know if there is a course list somewhere? I've seen the core courses listed on the website, but what about the electives and specialization courses? I'm sure if you went there they'd have a full bulletin of all the courses they offer, but since the courses vary so much by quarter I think the best bet is to just look through the past semester schedules to see what kinds of courses have been offered recently: http://www.utexas.edu/lbj/schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC139 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I was looking for the past courses to have an idea of what it's offered every semester. Thanks for the link, Nimesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legs Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Ok, I think I've decided on LBJ. Anyone think I'm crazy for giving up the Ford School? I think I'm a little crazy for giving up USC when I've been wanting to get back to California, where I'm from, for so many years. But it seems like the best option for me right now, with its combo of great lifestyle, solid program, and practically full funding offer. Am I going to see any of you there in August (or maybe before for Camp LBJ)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I going to see any of you there in August (or maybe before for Camp LBJ)? I am in a similar position, albeit deciding between LBJ and Maxwell. I feel that LBJ is a better fit because of its location and opportunities. Everyone I've talked to speaks highly of UT and thinks that the trade-off between living in Austin and attending a higher ranked program is totally worth it.
