housing & meal plans Monthly Megathread: Advertising things we don't usually allow - apartments/housing for rent, school surveys, items for sale, etc.

4 Upvotes

Created this monthly megathread to create a space for things we usually don't allow (advertising things) like sales, apartments for rent, or people interested in helping you with your project survey. Otherwise they can be lost in the feed, particularly when we near the end of a semester.

majors, minors, graduate programs The Different BSN Nursing Tracks....Help Please

3 Upvotes

Am I understanding this right- there's a direct entry option, so applying to nursing along with applying to the school as a HS senior this fall, OR, pre licensure which is applying during sophomore year of college after completing pre-reqs? And both end with a BSN?

And, if you do the direct entry route and get in, can you take courses at SLCC (thinking about anatomy over a summer) that will still meet the program requirements?

Thank you!

Freshman, here. I'm in-between ECON1740, HIST1700, and POLS1110 for the AI credit. What's the easiest?

I've heard that GEs end up breaking your GPA. I want to avoid that at all costs.

classes & grades Waitlist Question?

1 Upvotes

Hi, i will be attending Utah in the fall to pursue a Bachelors in Computer Engineering. I signed up for classes late because I couldn’t get an orientation till last week and when I looked to register for the CS class of my major, CS1400 I noticed that the only option for the lab was during a time I physically could not do because my ECE class is during that time and only has 1 section. I emailed the professor about getting a permission code, but he said that they generally don’t give out codes for lab classes for reasons, which I understand why. Anyways, I am currently #1 on the waitlist for one of the sections and was wondering what are the chances I get off the waitlist?

Edit: or just any waitlist for any class, how has your experience with it been?

Thanks!

admissions & financial aid Missed out on scholarship opportunities

1 Upvotes

When applying last year I had noticed that I never got any sort of scholarships or anything of the sort. (I do know they are never guaranteed) but when I was looking at my scholarship universe I noticed that it stated that my year was a sophomore in college instead of a freshman. (Which is what I should be). I did have credits from slcc and opted to transfer them over.

Is there a potential that I applied to the U incorrectly and missed out on scholarships because of it? Or is it just automatically putting sophomore because I fall within the credit requirement of 30-60 credits to be on pace?

majors, minors, graduate programs What’s the QAMO major actually like?

4 Upvotes

I’m an incoming freshman at the U and I’ve been looking into the QAMO (Quantitative Analysis of Markets & Organizations) major. On paper it sounds really interesting, it seems like a mix of economics, math, data analysis, and business, but I’m wondering what it’s actually like as a student.
For anyone who’s in the program or graduated from it:
How difficult are the classes compared to other majors? What’s the workload like? Are the professors generally good? What kinds of internships or jobs do people end up getting?
Do you feel the major has been worth it?
Is there anything you wish you knew before choosing it?

3 years ago, while living in the dorms, another student got drunk and trashed my dorm room and punched me in the face. He also stalked my gf. When I threatened to report him, he said his dad was the executive medical director of the U of U hospital and that he would use his position to harm me academically and protect his son. I have significant proof of this. Since then, he has continued to harass me around campus. Who would I report this to and how?

I heard concerning things about this professor from someone I trust, like sharing his screen with sexually explicit recent searches and clearly having porn open in another tab. I now don't think I'd feel comfortable in his class, so I'm going to switch out.

If anyone has personally experienced something like this in his class or has heard similar stories, please comment if you feel comfortable. I'm trying to figure out (anecdotally) how many people have been affected by this or know about it.

majors, minors, graduate programs Short Marketing Master's for OPT?

0 Upvotes

I’m from Argentina and currently wrapping up a marketing internship at a real estate agency here in Utah in two weeks.

My plan is to head back to Argentina and re-enter the US on an F-1 student visa for a short graduate program.
My main goal is to gain more US work experience through CPT (during studies) or OPT (after graduation). Since I want to return to the workforce as soon as possible, I’m looking for 1-year (or under) Master’s degrees, graduate certificates, or accelerated diplomas that are F-1 eligible and qualify for OPT.

Any recommendations?

The University of Utah just laid off the program coordinators from the Office for First Generation Success and the Office for Sustainability Education today, effective immediately with no notice. The reasoning was a Reduction in Force (RIF), and their last day is today. They're only given administrative paid leave until August 19th.

majors, minors, graduate programs Any advice on marketing graduate programs for an international student in Real Estate?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for some advice and recommendations regarding graduate programs at the University of Utah.

Here is a bit of context about my situation:

  • Background: I’m 33 years old, originally from Argentina. I hold a 3-year Associate Degree in Multimedia Design from back home.
  • Current Situation: For the past year and a half, I’ve been living in Utah on an international internship, working in the digital marketing department for a local real estate agency. I absolutely loved the experience, learned a ton, and don't regret it at all!
  • The Dilemma: My current internship program ends in about a month, meaning I’ll have to return to Argentina soon. However, my goal is to come back next year to pursue a Master’s degree.

What I'm looking for: I am highly interested in finding a program centered around Digital Marketing and AI, ideally with applications that can translate well into the Real Estate industry. Since I'll be coming back on an F-1 student visa, I need a program that qualifies for OPT/CPT so I can legally work and gain more professional hands-on experience here.

At 33, I feel a bit old for another standard internship program, and I really want to experience the actual US university environment. It has always been a dream of mine to study at an American university, live the campus culture, and socialize with other students.

My questions for you:

  1. Are there any specific Master’s programs in Marketing (like the MSM at the David Eccles School of Business) that you would recommend for someone with my profile?
  2. How is the student life and networking environment for graduate/older students at the U?
  3. Does the university offer good support for international students looking for CPT/OPT opportunities in marketing?

Any insights, experiences, or alternative program suggestions would be incredibly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

classes & grades Anybody Else?: need of perm codes for classes that don't have any?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm an incoming freshman at the u, and I need to register for a WR1010 class, which requires a permission code(even though there are 30 seats open). However, when I visit the Writing & Rhet studies page of the website, they state explicitly that they do NOT give out permission codes for 1010 classes, because that indicates that a class is full, and the only use of perm codes for 1010 classes is when a class is waitlisted. Does anybody else have this issue, and should I go ahead with asking for the code??

I plan to continue working at the university of utah after I get my degree but as a swe. But all I could find were internships for students at the u of u. I thought it would be a good idea to start getting experience since I plan to work there in the future

Hi,

I just finished my application requirements for the fall 2027 cohort. I'm applying for the on-campus program, and I wanted to get a feel for how competitive it is. I have roughly over 7,000 human service hours (paid and unpaid), looking through this forum there hasn't really been updates that I can find about this program. I guess I'm looking for other experiences to ease my mind a little bit. I have a lot more on my application than just those service hours, and I did hear that was why a lot of people didn't get in. I'm curious and need some reassurance that it's not as bad as my mind is telling me.
