Mine has been updated too!
Best of luck to everyone who applied! Only 4 more hours - we’ve got this!
My student applied 11/20, so he missed the EA date. Any chance you think he might be considered in this batch? Or likely not till Feb? Engineering.
what page are you seeing changes?
utk.edu/portal/status or
utk.edu/apply VIP Vol-in-Progress
VIP just has 2 applications listed Freshman and Impact Academy
Portal Status page just has upload materials with nothing requested
However it turns out for my kid, I do love the countdown touch. Makes it more exciting for applicants. Good luck everyone!!

What is the Slate ID?
It was on the applicant’s portal before today. Gone now that they updated it.
Does anyone know when financial aid packages will be released?
Why would some portals have a countdown and others not? Waaahhhhhh!

Each time we go in, we have to log out and log back in then we see the countdown
Look forward to hearing about your new Volunteers!
If you’ve not already found them, there are 2 very active threads on CC for Parents of the HS Class of 2021.
This thread is for anyone but it does tend to be mostly about students who are applying to the big brand name T20 schools and LACs. Lots of parents with students who applied to 10 or more schools. Even if that’s not describing your situation, there is a alot of great info in the thread. Most of the parents in that thread are extremely knowledgeable about the college search & admissions process. My S21 is a high achiever but we’re 100% certain that UT is the best choice for him. Some of the parents on that thread were really helpful in confirming that decision.
This is another thread for all parents with HS class of 21 kids. But the discussion is not as focused toward the big brand name schools and the high stress that can often go along with the ultra competitive admissions process.
Also, S21’s 2 older sisters went to UTK. 1 is a Jr now. We’re pretty familiar with the school, campus & community.
Feel free to ask me anything.
