I submitted my application on 11/01/2017. All my supporting documents EXCEPT for my ACT score were received/processed. I heard that because all my supporting documents were not in by the priority deadline, I would not receive my UT Austin and UT Austin Honors decision by the priority response date of 02/01/2018. However, I went to my portal today and checked the detail of my ACT score and it said that they received it on 10/25/2017 (maybe it was not processed by 11/01/2017).
What does this mean? Did I make the priority deadline for UT Austin and/or UT Austin Honors?
If the admissions office has all of your application materials by November 1st (which it seems like they did), then you made the priority deadline. Submitting your application by the priority deadline does not pose any benefits other than getting a decision, at the latest, during February instead of March. UT Austin Honors does not have a priority deadline besides its official deadline of December 1st. Depending on the honors program that you applied to, some honors programs (I believe BHP) do not read their applications in the order that they receive them. Best of luck!
