Non-Top 10% Decisions

<p>I was at UT yesterday (spur of the moment trip) with a friend
And we wanted to go on a campus tour and whatnot, but since it was raining, our tour guide diverted us to certain offices (admissions, natural sciences, plan II, health professions) to speak with whoever was there.</p>

<p>We spoke to one of the admissions counselor, Ms. Lockhart (i think)
And she looked up both our records (my friend is non-top 10%)
She said that they still have 15,000 applications that need to be reviewed
and that my friend should hear back around the last week of March</p>

<p>So yall still have a couple more weeks...keep your fingers crossed till then!</p>

<p>They told us they will be sending out admissions letters until the first week in April.. so yeah.</p>

<p>15,000?! GOOD GRIEF! When did your friend apply bluefalcon245?</p>

<p>I just hope mine has been reviewed and that there is space for me :(</p>

<p>Btw, thanks for posting this :)</p>

<p>For some reason, I just don't believe they have 15,000 left to review. That would be around 3/4 left to review...</p>

5

<p>15,000? I find that a little hard to believe. Probably 1500.</p>

6

<p>^ That does seem like a ridiculous amount of applications to review in such a short period of time (considering there is no actual activity going on in admissions today).</p>

<p>But then again, I think most people apply near the February 1st deadline but still...I don't know. All I know is that I am selfish and want my decision pronto haha.</p>

<p>Well, either way, no way they have 15,000 left. What have they been doing in the past month and a half? UT has an average of 23,000 applicants a year, probably a bit more every year. There is no way that UT has only gone through 8,000 applicants in 1.5 months and expects to go through 15,000 more in a matter of 2 weeks.</p>

8

<p>probably a typo on the og posters behalf</p>

9

<p>They probably have reviewed most of them, but they haven't updated their system/sent out letters of admissions to about 15k of them.</p>

10

<p>Hmm
Thats what she said, at least
[shrug]</p>

<p>So today, I received a thin envelope from UT; however, when I opened it, it was for my submission into the Barbara Jordan scholarship contest. :p</p>

12

<p>Im top 5%, in-state, and applied in early Sept and still havent heard.</p>

<p>tripperian35- That makes no sense at all and hopefully you've called admissions. You said you moved to TX a year ago to get residency. Maybe they aren't recognizing you as a TX resident.</p>
