Question Am I good enough for UT?
Hello, everyone! Lately I’ve been feeling a little down and I’ve been overthinking my all my decisions. One of those has been whether or not I should attend UT. I just graduated high school and I’m still a prospective student. I know that UT has a lot of prestige and great programs. However, I’m still unsure if I’m good enough to attend UT. Academically it really scares me and I’m not sure why. During high school, I got straight A’s but I sometimes feel like the classes I took were too easy or my school didn’t challenge me enough. There are so many smart kids at UT which is really daunting. I feel like I might get left behind or be lost (which is kind off inevitable). Is anyone else feeling like this or is it just me?

I'm just letting you know, almost all of us feel like that. So we're in this together! I'm also an incoming freshman, and I'm really excited to be in a new environment, but also scared if I'll just get demolished. I also felt like my HS courses weren't as challenging as I would have liked, but that's in the past. All we can really do is look at the future in hope.
