UTA or UNT

I transferred to UNT from North Lake College. I transferred with not one but two renewable scholarships, and over the two years period, I received eight other one-time scholarships. One of those scholarships was the one that I had not even applied for. They gave me the option if I would want to use it in my senior year at UNT or as a graduate student at UNT. I wonder how many of the Nepalese students at UTA have received ten scholarships in two years.

I mentioned that UNT ranks number one nationwide as a transfer university because that is the information I received in a scholarship reception. I can't guarantee how true or untrue this information is, but this is what I was told in a university's program, which I would assume as fairly reliable.

I don't know how things work at UTA because I never attended UTA, but my friends who attended UTA said that if you have one scholarship at UTA, they will not give you another scholarship. The common scholarships that I have heard of at UTA are the Phi Theta Kappa or some other scholarship you get just because you have an associate degree.

Stupida, I did not talk about the academic ranking at all, and I have no idea why you are bringing that up. I do have an understanding of where UNT and UTA rank on that criteria. My point was - more students (not just Nepalese, but the Hispanics, the African Americans, and the Caucasians) transfer to UNT than they transfer to any other institution. You also mentioned that you have not seen any Nepalese at UNT with scholarship. Well, I have. But I can't mention their names because of privacy issues. These scholarship recipients range from undergraduate to doctoral Nepalese students, and they were in the same scholarship reception that I was in.

Rookie 1, I am not saying that UTA is bad or anything. You can go there like most of the other Nepalese. I just shared my thoughts with you. Don't think that UNT does not award scholarship; it does.
