MyStatus shows I applied for the Summer 2017 Semester... but I applied for Fall?

I checked out my UT MyStatus page today just to make sure they have received all of my materials (they have) and I noticed that it displays my chosen semester as “Summer 2017”. I’m almost positive I chose Fall 2017 on ApplyTexas, but I checked my ApplyTexas submission and apparently I did not.

So, if I don’t really care which term I attend (I’d slightly prefer fall but it’s not a big deal to me), is it worth email admissions to request a change? Are there any benefits to starting in the summer rather than the fall? Is the fall semester generally more selective when it comes to admissions? Is campus a ghost town during the summer? What are the pro/cons of a summer semester at UT?

Thanks in advance for any insight!

You should probably just contact admissions and get it fixed, unless you do want to do a summer semester. Personally, I would want to start my freshman year in the fall to meet other freshmen and find my place (and also to have 2-3 months to just enjoy my life before I go off to college), but of course it’s your decision.
