<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am an applicant to the Dean's Scholars Program, but did not gain acceptance in the first round. I did, however, just receive and email about the open house event on February 20 for "the most competitive applicants." </p>
<p>Has anyone had experience with this? If so, what does this mean in terms of admission? Do I have a higher chance?</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>I am wondering the same thing at the moment. I thought since that because it has been so long, I didn’t get into Dean’s Scholars, but I received the same e-mail today. </p>
<p>I am just as confused as you.</p>
<p>Well, I got my acceptance back in December. I’m not really sure if they are still accepting people this late, but I could be wrong. Your best bet would be to email them back or call them.</p>
<p>Generally, if you got an invite to the open house, you’re in.
I can’t comment on this officially, though.</p>
<p>I just got an acceptance letter in the mail today with an invite to the open house!</p>
<p>Congrats, kittenz! I’m sure the remainder of your senior year will be much more enjoyable now. See you around campus!</p>
<p>I was also super confused when I got the email. Then I got an actual letter in the mail and in it was an acceptance letter and the invitation to the open house. So I guess all is well?</p>
<p>and kittenz? how did you know you didn’t get accepted the first round? UT went completely silent to me after I submitted my app.</p>

<p>Congrats to you too, mecsquared!</p>
<p>When did you guys apply? I’m still waiting for a reply and I’m freaking out! O.o</p>
<p>he knew it was the second round most likely because people had posted back in december about getting in and going to the open house on 01/27.</p>
<p>Woot. I got got an acceptance letter as well.</p>
<p>Also, congrats to kittenz and mecsquared! I guess we might see each other.</p>
<p>Yeah, many people posted they got in back around Christmas, so I assumed I wasn’t going to get in at all!</p>
