One thing I will call out that we screwed up with our oldest is planning starts in 8th with foreign language. If your kid is set on UT, make sure they're taking a foreign language in 8th that they can continue in Advanced/Honors and then AP. If they don't, they're out of the running of top 6% before they even enter highschool

I'm guessing that UT GPA is unweighted while the other two are weighted (+.5 for advanced and +1.0 for AP). My daughter has a weighted GPA of 4.8 and is barely in the top 1/4 of her class.

If anyone knows how to download Insta Reels LMK how and I'll post it.
Max is a statue. He's going to get beat to death behind that line.
Hate to see a kid get hurt like that, I really hope there are no long term complications for him. That said, he needs to look into just playing baseball.
If you didn't already know, Nurses gossip 🙂
From what I remember is around 2002 we had 51K undergrads and we were the second largest university in the nation. They intentionally pulled back enrollments after that
I started at UT right when they deregulated the tuition. My costs doubled over the course of 4 years if I remember correctly and they were still a LOT less than this. This goes back to my trade school argument. There are not a lot of professions that would support taking on $200K in student cost/debt over 4 years. It's something as a parent you should at least consider.
YouTube pays just a little under $0.02 per view. They're not making enough from YouTube revenue to support themselves. Their highest viewed video is 5K views ($100), but most are < 1K. They do have a bunch of sponsors in their streams, so I have no idea how much those folks are paying.
If she's from there she'll be fine. It's no worse than what you get in Seattle proper. A little more exposed so the fronts blowing in can be a little more extreme, but we're not talking North Dakota. Being from TX and used to 300+ days of sun, Jan and Feb were really tough. Def had to invest in sun lamps/etc.
Also, college isn't for everyone. If my kids were different I'd be pushing them towards a trade. Become an electrician and then eventually build out your own company. AI isn't going to replace a breaker or run a new line of romex. Hot, sweaty, hard work, but it is only going to be more and more in demand.
Any thoughts around GCU?
Do you enjoy 9:30 AM sunrises and 4 PM sunsets and when the sun is up, it's cloudy and raining? Most people forget how far north that really is because of the fact that it doesn't get very cold.
I bet she doesn't post pics when it's raining, which is most of the time. I lived there for a few years and it's awful.
