i was gonna post a while ago but i saw cavaliers post up there and thought id add. i didnt really work too hard in HS (and going to a non ranking highschool didnt help), sooo i got turned down and did CAP at UT1604.. and i gotta say that i hate this place but, if your son is serious about getting in to UT, CAP is the best bet i think. and depending on how much he likes whichever satellite he goes to, it would probably really help to motivate him. for the first couple months i was just so mad i was there that i made damn sure i got As in as many classes as possible--and that helped me to get in to good study habits and now there really is no chance of not getting in to UT for me. and nothing will and i have never appreciated UT or Austin so much just dont let him turn out like my roommate and fall in with the "bad" crowd of drug dealing / abusing every night and sleeping through classes. god dammit i cant wait to be rid of this guy
