<p>My daughter applied very early in the process. She is top 8% of her class but she has not received a response yet. Should we be concerened about that? It seems that the other automatic accepts have gotten responses. Her highschool does not rank except her counseler told her they will rank top 10% for UT and A&M. Her first choice was College of Communication. Could that have anything to do with that. I have heard that that school is quite competitive. Thanks for any responses</p>
<p>Is it possible that they didn’t receive her transcript yet? Mine took weeks and weeks last year for some reason, and I was 1st in my class…</p>
<p>The website says they have everything</p>
<p>I would call admissions. What was her second choice?</p>
<p>Her second choice was Plan II. Could they be waiting for a decision from them? I thought that was all seperate.</p>
<p>I think they usually send out the acceptance and sometimes later tell what major you have been accepted to…especially if you are an auto admit. I would call admissions and ask them.</p>
<p>We are in same situation. They have had all info/tests/transcripts since 11/5 or so. Hmmm</p>
<p>I called admissions and it turns out my school did not rank her. All they did was send a letter saying she was in the top 8% but UT wants a numerical ranking. Guess we will have to wait and see.</p>
<p>Is this a public school?</p>
<p>No its private</p>
<p>Then the school should have sent the “Texas Private High School Certification” which can be found here:</p>

<p>It is required for admission under the top 10/8% law. It was a huge miss by the school because had they filled it out your D’s rank would have been reported as xx/xxx. (which is why I am concluding it was not filled out because of the reference to a letter stating she was in the top 8) And because it was caught after the deadline, I suspect her application will now be under holistic review.</p>
<p>Oh well we are pretty confident she will get in with the holistic its just the wait thats killing her</p>
<p>You are taking better than I would. Private school is high dollar and you should expect that some of your money flows to organized and knowledgable GCs. The GC at the school should call UT on your childs behalf and lay on the ground like a sacrificial lamb. They should whatever UT will allow to make this right. Because just what if the holistic review is not successful?</p>
<p>She says she is working on it. I will keep pushing. Thanks for the advice</p>
