I applied to UT which is my first choice school about 3 days after admissions opened in august. They have received all of my transcripts and necessary information. I check my status daily but there have been no updates. How long should it be before I know if I got in? I applied to the school of liberal arts if that makes a difference.
@becca88 There is another thread for Automatic Admission that is discussing your question. My daughter applied quickly like you did, and she is still waiting as well.
Are you an in state auto admit? If so, based on last year you should hear soon that you have been admitted but UT has not made a decision on your major. Decisions on majors start to come out in late November but the vast majority come out in the second half of February.
Several applicants I know for the class of 2020 who applied in August, received their auto acceptance Oct 2 and all received their major decision the 3rd Friday in February. The review admits also received their decisions on the 3rd Friday in February.
Last year our daughter received her auto admit notice quickly after submitting her application (completed on 10/14), and then she received her major on Jan 21st.
Anyone heard anything yet?
For me I completed everything by the first of august to transfer in the Spring of 2017 as an auto admit. Nothing yet here.
Still nothing here for our auto admit daughter. Hoping for movement in the process this week.
My niece was an auto admit last year. She and others I know heard on the first Friday in Oct, the 2nd. I think I remember reading that decisions had gone out before then, so maybe this is the week it happens!
My daughter was auto-admit. She got acceptance to UT a week after. However, acceptance to McCombs was received 3rd week of February.
Has anyone heard word back on their auto-admit status? I am still waiting…
@schoolismagical Our DD’s auto admit status was confirmed this evening.
@NotSoPatient Congrats!!! I’m still waiting, hopfully my decision comes next! Was your daughter apply as a freshmen for fall or spring?
I also received my auto admit status today.
I am an in-state student (tuition) applying from abroad and they changed my application status from submitted to under review today. Now the myStatus page says, “Your application for admission is in review. We have all the items we need to make your admission decision. As soon as your decision is made, it will be posted on this page and you’ll be notified by mail.”
Does anyone know if this is just a general status update since they have started to release decisions for in-state auto admit students or if they are actually reviewing my application this week? I submitted my application the day that the application came out (August 1st).
DS applied in the first few days of August . Yesterday afternoon there was no change but, today he was notified of his auto-admit status. 
@isk2017 We’ve been through this before. The “in review” statement could be there all the way until February.(auto admits will change much sooner but, likely w/o major) We did see one notification in December but, that DS applied for BHP.
Hoping our DS longhorn for 2017 finds out he got his chosen major way before February but, it’s more realistic to expect the wait.
@schoolismagical She is a freshman of Fall 2017 applicant. Good luck to you!
Just for reference our daughter who applied to UT Austin for the Class of 2020 last year got her auto admit status in October, and her file then showed in review for her major from that point forward. She then got her major in the CNS on January 21st. The next group that I remember coming out after that was the end of February timeframe for all the rest of the applicants along with CAP and PACE. We were so relieved to hear in Jan. so she didn’t have to continue stressing. She was top 2.9% of her very large class in HS with a good ACT score, etc. Sometimes it seems there is no reason why one hears and another waits. It’s tough waiting. Good luck everyone!
