Congratulations @Lmazoo! What major in COLA did you apply for?
Thanks, I applied for economics.
@Lmazoo , Congrats, btw, did you just happen to log on and check your status now or did it show up very recently, I mean today morning…
I checked yesterday morning out of curiosity and I got accepted. It’s under the admissions tab and looks like this for me: i.imgur.com/RGyXieS.png

I feel like they won’t post decisions on the weekend so maybe we’ll have to wait until next week! We’re all in this together, pals :~) Next week will be very nerve racking.
@MyUTAustin How did u get this info lol
@TheOneInCS Its just everyone who has posted on this thread.
@Kyotoraz Oh, I see 
Yeah, it was tough to gather the info but would help folks following this thread for future transfers:).
Congratulations to everyone who was accepted already! I think like in the past they are going passing out acceptances by transfer GPA! As I stated before, my transfer GPA was lower than what I expected so I’m not expecting a decision from COLA anytime soon. Lol. Hang in there everyone!
anyone thinks this week will be the last week for COLA release their decision?
I check the past thread people said UT may release few decision to test their system first.
but I saw most acceptance was from COLA and major in Economics.
Since my major is Economics too, I think I have been denied but my status has not shown yet. :((
Good Luck everyone!!!
@MathMeany I was a fall applicant. Also, just a note to people that have already been accepted. If you do all the required things to do on MyStatus and also submit your meningitis immunization records, you can go to the Flawn Academic Center, the building to the west of the Main Building, and get your ID card. I got mine today, and I still can’t believe this is really happening.
Thanks @MFFLfromAlaska
And thank you for all the hard work @MyUTAustin it really helps put things in perspective!
ACCEPTED!!!
COLA Psychology B.S.
3.55 GPA @ 51 hours
Schools attended:
Belmont University (Honors)
Houston Community College
Member of Psi Beta and Phi Theta Kappa
3 strong recs from professors, one a UT alum
3 strong essays- writing is my forte and the topics were strategically chosen, mostly personal or relevant to my major
I wish ya’ll the best of luck and congratulations to the people who have already been accepted. This school is extremely selective. I applied three times. Don’t ever give up, the results will pay off. Hook 'em!
@Pianoman911 , congrats
What I noticed is this year they accepted student with lower GPA, or it’s just for COLA, or they have more hour?
