Jambon

Don't forget the two National Championship in Women's Tennis singles and Men's Tennis doubles.

From top to bottom, this State is full of incompetent assholes. I will be encouraging my child to leave the state once he finishes at UT.

National champs in tennis and regional champs in softball! Great day to be a Longhorn!

National Champions!

Jada does not have cancer. If she was bothered by her hair she would have worn a wig. Looks like she's fine with her baldness. Will Smith is an ass.

Nixon, please keep your eyes up!

The Aquarium there is really nice. Kids should enjoy it.

So glad that Rori plays for us! She's amazing.

I heart Melendez!

Dumb move

Is getting a bunch of guys out of the transfer portal a good thing? If they are so great, why are they transferring?

She scored a 1580 on her SAT and is set to attend Stanford. She's a smart cookie as well as doing death defying stunts on the side. Although we don't like her decision to represent China, she has set herself up for life. I don't begrudge her for that.

There's a quite a few people of Asian descent that are on SurlyHorns. Using racial slurs like chinks is not OK. It's pretty disappointing to read on a forum like this.

China should do all opening ceremonies.

Went to the game last night and had nose bleed tickets. Texas fans sucks. The arena looked to be about 95% full at the end but it took close to the end of the first half to get there. People were still filing in late into the first half. I don't get this. What is so hard about getting to the game on time.

If you are asking for aid, loans, or grants, you need to fill out FAFSA. The schools looks at this and can use it to definitely determine admissions, scholarship, etc.

Income is part of the financial aid process that doles out aid, loans, and grants. It is also required if you are applying for scholarship. It is very much a part of the application process.

LOL. My Asian son plays the cello and piano. Picking up an instrument as a youngster is pretty big in the Asian community. Asian tends to like the classical instruments. It's probably easier to play the piano or violin as a 5 year old as opposed to the oboe or trumpet. I steered him towards orchestra instead of band because of the Texas heat. Marching band in Texas seemed like a beating.

Scoring above 1400 on the SAT and taking AP courses in itself is not enough to get into UT engineering or CS. You just described a mediocre Asian kid. I should know, I'm Asian. These two programs are top 10 in the nation. UT is big on the concept of 'fit to major'. They want to see that your high school coursework align with your major. My son got into UT CS last fall. Knowing how difficult it was to get into CS at UT, we loaded his high school coursework with advanced CS classes, robotics, and engineering. He was also top 6% in his class (#4 overall). I do believe this was why he got accepted. I was still not sure if this was going to be enough. He has a friend just got into UT engineering (electrical). She is Asian and scored above 1500 on her SAT and is a 4-year All-State violinist and is the salutatorian of her high school. Moral of the story is that there are a lot of different criteria that UT uses for admissions. The talent of the applicants applying for these programs are off the charts. It's not only what you are doing but how do you stack up against other kids. I'm also for affirmative action. I will take the poor kid that did well in school that did not have endless resources to take SAT prep classes, private schools, etc. This shows a ton of character and will. These are just as important criteria for admission as standardized test scores.

No gun laws were broken. Wheelie passed a law that you can carry firearms without a permit or training. If the shooter was the victim in the fight and he is indeed 18, it looks like he defended himself so he should walk. Of course he won't since he's black.

Fantastic match! Got that monkey off our backs.

Parra is amazing!!!

I have used two boarding facilities in the DFW area to board my dogs and both of them do not overnight staff. I always thought this was the norm for boarding places.

Casey, please ball out and solidify this position for us. Rooting for you!!!
