<p>I received my admission to UT Engineering itself before the deadline, and I turned in my Honors Application a little before December 1. I still have no update on my honors application status since that time (just the simple "Your application is complete" or something like that). Is it safe to assume that I'm not in honors engineering? I'm not bummed out or anything (happy enough I got into UT), but I'm itching to at least know.</p>
<p>From what i’ve heard you’ll get a letter in the mail if you got into engineering honors or any of the honors programs for that matter. I’m also waiting on it</p>
<p>Last year, I remember my senior friends constantly asking about engineering honors, but these decisions came out pretty late (by our impatient standards). </p>
<p>I know for sure the Dean’s Scholars decisions have been mailed out (in 2 waves already). I don’t really know. </p>
<p>Good luck guys!</p>
<p>My son who is admitted to the Cockrell School e-mailed the honors engineering program and was told that the decisions were just being finished and letters were expected to be mailed out next week.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I called Cockrell a few days ago and they told me we should receive our decisions by mid-March, so that sounds about right. Good luck all!</p>
<p>By March 1st …</p>
<p>Any update guys? Still now word for me :(</p>
<p>No word****</p>
<p>no word here either :(</p>
<p>they’ll at least send a rejection letter, right?</p>
<p>My son hasn’t received any feedback, either. We are assuming that they will notify applicants either way.</p>
<p>Attended Explore UT today and spoke with a lady who I believe directs the engineering honors program, and she indicated that notifications will be mailed next week. They will notify all applicants, whether they are selected for the honors progam or not.</p>
<p>I just want to assure everyone that it’s no big deal if you’re not accepted – there is hardly any benefit to being in the Engineering Honors Program. The only tangible benefit is the option to live in the honors quad… other than that, not much. So don’t worry too much about it!</p>
<p>^I wanted to say this but didn’t want to be a buzz kill. As I said in another thread, engineering honors is more of a title than a program. No big benefits and most in engineering honors don’t graduate with it because few actually do the senior project.</p>
<p>The only tangible benefits of the Honors program are Honors dorms and more importantly access to scholarships. For many those kids out of state, a scholie and possible out of state tuition waiver is a make or break issue.</p>
<p>There are only a handful of OOS tuition waivers available in the entire school of engineering, all levels, so don’t get your hopes up.</p>
<p>I have yet to see any additional scholarships because of the honors program. I only just got in this past fall (my second year), and my scholarships have remained the same so far.</p>
<p>Has anyone gotten word of whether the EHP program has mailed out decisions by now?</p>
<p>Heard they were being mailed thisr past Friday March 9th.</p>
<p>Yeah, I also heard they were mailed last week, but I still have not heard back yet. Anyone else find out?</p>
<p>I know like 2 people on CC have said they were accepted, but no one I know personally has gotten a notification. I live 2 hours from Austin and usually get mail from there in 2 days, so either they’re mailing it in waves or notifying people who got rejected later. :(</p>
