<p>So in these stats everyone keeps talking about how they get that note on the app status page that says theyre a top candidate and is basically guarunteeing them that theyll get in. I have better stats than many of them, and dont quite understand why im not getting this message... anyone know how this works? or am i just freaking out for no reason...?</p>
<p>I took a quick look at your other posts–you are OOS, right? You will hear no later than the end of February–that is outside date by which all decisions will be released.</p>

<p>There are various reasons some people have already heard back, e.g., Some honors colleges release rolling decisions. In-state students who are in the top 8% of their class are “auto admits” by law. UT is using “likely letters” this year to quickly tell some top applicants they’re in, but stand by for a decision on 1st/2nd choice major/college. There are other scenarios, too–enough to create anxiety for all who haven’t heard!</p>
<p>But bottom line, there is plenty of hope to go around until the end of February.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. I got no such message last year, and I got in with some pretty nice scholarships!</p>
