Best of Texas Weekend?

<p>We're any other seniors on here invited to the Best of Texas Weekend this Friday and Saturday? I applied pretty soon after getting the letter, and sent in my forms early. I know the due date was Friday, and am wondering when they'll send the confirmations to the selected students. </p>

<p>Has anyone heard? I'm just trying to plan my week and notify teachers of tests I'll miss if I do end up going!</p>

<p>I was also invited and submitted my forms on the first or second day, but haven’t received anything yet. I wouldn’t worry at this point.</p>

<p>My friend and I have also not heard anything yet.</p>

<p>Oops it auto corrected *Were</p>

<p>And great! Thank you! Hopefully they’ll send information Monday so we can make arrangements.</p>

<p>My son is not an auto-admit. But he did receive the invitation for Best of Texas Weekend. He does have very good SAT scores and is doing IB.</p>

<p>Does the invitation imply that UT is likely to admit him? Thanks for any insights.</p>

<p>I actually have no idea how they chose invitees, but I’d guess SAT scores! I got a 2800, but am not an automatic admit. </p>

<p>I’m no expert, but it sure seems likely that they’re trying hard to get us to choose Texas, since they’re investing so much money and time into these students. It’s a good bet they’ll admit these students, from my view, whatever it’s worth.</p>

<p>Do you mean a 2400? …If so, congrats on the perfect score. And my bet is that since they are investing their time and money on this special event for a few select candidates, they will offer the first batch of admissions during the camp. Some of my friends last year were invited to a special dinner, and everyone at the dinner got their intent of admission letter. Either way, it’s nothing bad by all means. Class of 2017 ftw!</p>

<p>No, I just keep typo-ing on my iPad! I got a 2280, but I wish it was a perfect score! :)</p>

<p>Man, that’d be amazing. In any case, I agree, it’s something good! Hook 'em. Hopefully I’ll see y’all this weekend!</p>

<p>texaskate and Texaspride17 - thanks for replying. All the best!</p>

<p>I’ll be going!</p>

<p>Cwillbounds, you received a confirmation?</p>

<p>Has anyone received confirmation?</p>

<p>Nope but I bet I will soon.</p>

<p>Any news from anyone? Why are they waiting so long to let us know - arrangements need to be made for school on Friday.</p>

<p>I have not heard yet. My friend hasn’t either.</p>

<p>I have no idea why!</p>

<p>But if anyone hears back, please post! Otherwise we won’t know who was “accepted” haha.</p>

<p>I was invited but I won’t be attending due to a basketball tournament</p>

<p>How did you find out. Email, call, letter?</p>

<p>Got accepted! The local admissions center called and let me know I was accepted. I have to be there at 4 AM. Yikes.</p>

<p>Which admissions center?</p>
