Well, mid-January is here. That’s UT’s timeline to interview semi-finalists for the Forty Acres scholarship. It seems that no one has heard anything yet? I wish that UT would post something on their website when invitations have gone out so the masses could at least just know.

https://texasexes.academicworks.com/ from what I can tell from last year, they posted an update on the main page of this website when they sent out semi-finalist emails, and right now it still says applications are still under review. It would be nice to get an actual date so we can stop wondering whether or not emails have been sent out

Congrats to her! Unfortunately I didn’t seem get anything, but can I ask what time last night she received her email?
Thank you! She got the email around 10:40PM CST.
Congratulations and best of luck! I wonder if they send them all out at once? I would assume so.
That’s what I’m wondering too. Do they all go out at once.
i was notified yesterday at 10:37 PM!!! gl to all the other sfs <3
Do you think they only notified in state applicants first, or preferred deadline applicants first? I applied December 1st, and am still waiting to hear back.

did you apply by November 1st? the website still says “applications are currently being reviewed” so maybe you were the first wave? congrats btw
For those who received invites to 40 acres - Congratulations, would you mind sharing your major and any exceptional ECs?
i applied by the december 1st deadline!
the form for 40 acres was due this morning so i dont think theyre sending out anymore unfortunately. there was a really quick turnaround and apparently finalists will be announced by the beginning of February.
in-state (north texas) and mechanical engineering
ecs included both science and politics stuff like research, volunteering, canvassing, lobbying, etc.
i was invited to the US capitol, recognized by Norway, and have a few publications. i think that’s the bulk of my application

Very impressive! Congratulations, well deserved
For those who were named semifinalists, did you get a confirmation email after submitting the form?
No. You will get an interviewer to reach out to you in the coming days though.
has anyone else not received an interview request yet?
