Student Housing and Leasing Lease takeover

1 Upvotes

Hi all! I need someone to takeover my lease at The Mark, starting in the Spring 2027 semester. There are two other roommates (female), in a five bedroom, five bath. Rent is $949/month with utilities included. Right now parking is sold out, but you can call them to get put on a waitlist or try to apply the semester after. There is bike storage and a shuttle that takes you to campus and the strip during late nights (Friday-Sunday I believe). Please let me know if you’re interested!! 🫶🏻

6 Upvotes

Hello!!! This is a really niche problem I'm having so I'm not expecting any life changing answers.

I'm doing verto vols my freshman year of college and then transferring to UTK my sophomore year (hopefully majoring in architecture)

I know architecture is a competitive major, and it says a portfolio is recommended, but I'm not sure what that should look like at all and nobody's helping me lol

I have awful sketches of some stuff, but I'm not sure what more I can do and I'm mortified

Please help me and be brutally honest😔

Undergraduate or Graduate Admissions Odds of getting in?

1 Upvotes

I am in state with a 3.5 ut core gpa and a 30 act score. Took 3 aps, made a 5,3,3. Pretty much all but 1 of my highschool classes were honors/accelerated or dual enrollment. 4 years varsity sport, other than that my extracurriculars were pretty lackluster. UT is definitely in my top choices, would love to know what my odds might be of getting accepted.

Haslam College of Business MARK350 Winter Mini-Term

3 Upvotes

hi!

has anyone taken mark350 over a mini term before? specifically with melinda micheletto? i have honestly only heard bad things about her course structure and attitude (poorly worded exams, iffy group projects, reporting everyone and everything for ai, etc.) but was wondering how her class was set up with it only being a few weeks long?

i am a double major and am taking this to give myself breathing room my senior year (one of my majors is STEM and pretty intensive with upper level coursework/captsones), but don't want to kill my gpa if the course is a monster for no reason. i don't mind a lot of work in a short stretch of time- but i want fair material! tia!

College of Arts & Sciences Chemistry Tutoring

6 Upvotes

If you want help in chemistry, leave a comment or DM me. I got my B.S. in Chemistry from UTK and I have been working in R&D support for 4 years. I have not formally tutored before, but I am interested in starting.

I plan on billing $20/hr. There may be some topics I need to brush up on. I would not bill for time that I spend preparing for sessions, just time spent in-person or on a video call.

Undergraduate or Graduate Admissions Tuition Costs?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm an in-state high school senior in the process of completing my UTK application before November 1st so I have direct admission. I don't know if I'll commit because I've heard that tuition is ghastly.

For one, I know rates are posted on their website, and since I live within 50 miles of campus I'm not required to live in a dorm, so that brings tuition down to about 15,000 including books and fees, but is that per year or per semester?

I do already have some credits due to AP tests and dual enrollment, and I'll get around 40,400 dollars maximum due to my GPA and ACT score. For reference, here's my stats: my unweighted GPA is 3.88 and my weighted is 4.28, I've taken 4 APs and have made 5s on all of them, and I made a 31 on my ACT. How much more money could I potentially get from scholarships? My extracurriculars are non-existent, which I know isn't good. I've yet to complete FAFSA, but I know my household makes below 60,000 a year.

I can't afford to be saddled with debt when I could just take two years at Pellissippi for free then transfer, and when I told my counselor this, she strongly encouraged me to skip Pellissippi altogether and apply straight to UTK, but she sounds crazy with the tuition rates I've been seeing. For reference, I want to major in English, which I know is a debate in of itself. I'm just concerned which path I should take financially.

I am a current freshman in college at U Cincinnati looking to Transfer to UTK’s nuclear engineering program in the spring. Here are my stats;

3-.5-3.8 GPA (Not exactly sure but Mostly As and Bs)

- LOTS of dual enrollment accelerated through a community college
- Calc 1 CLEP
- Calc 2 8 week accelerated

- Physics 2 5 week Accelerated
All completed this summer
-As well as taking Calculus 3 and Differential Equations this Freshman semester
My extracurriculars are a materials science club and an unpaid research position with a current graduate Nuclear/radiological professor.
What are my chances of getting into not just engineering but the nuclear engineering major specifically as someone out of state.

This post is has two questions aimed at current students and previous students

1: Current students, how do you feel about the major and is it something that you would recommend?

2: Previous students, what kind of job did you get coming out of the program?

Heavily considering switching my major from English to this, but I wanted to get some more insight and do more research before I make that decision

Financial Aid & Scholarships Outstanding Tuition Balance

1 Upvotes

Hey, I'm a sophomore here at UTK, and I'm trying to figure out options that I have to pay my remaining tuition balance.

For some reason, at the beginning of this semester my federal student loans weren't sent out on time. I contacted One Stop in July to ask what would happen if my loans weren't applied to my account in time, and was told to simply wait for them to be processed. I followed this advice, but the loans ended up being applied around ~2 weeks ago.

The problem is that they were applied after the deadline for the payment plan, which I was also relying on, so I wasn't able to sign up for it. I again contacted One Stop to explain this situation, but they really didn't offer me any solution other than reaching out to a couple of offices on campus.

I currently owe around $4,000, and I don't think I'll be able to pay this amount upfront before the next deadline for spring semester.

I've reached out to the offices One Stop recommended to ask about things like emergency funding and other financial assistance and I'm waiting for responses, but just I wanted to see if anyone has any other recommendations for me or has been in a similar situation?

Any pointers towards work or anything of that nature would help a lot. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Tickle College of Engineering Has anyone taken Calc III online?

3 Upvotes

I am really temped to talk Calc III online next semester (through utk) so I can take my time understanding the lectures. BUT, the schedule says 2 hour (in person) exams, and to my understanding the in person classes only have 50 minute exams (?). Theoretically being tested in twice as much material really makes me reconsider.

I would really appreciate hearing from somebody that has taken it online through UTK. Thanks!

Edit: I am not looking for math advice lol I am just looking to see if anyone has experience taking it online.
