This has been bugging me since last Friday, December 7th… My daughter received a “Happy Holidays from Your University” email. It came from Greg and Carmel Fenves. The email did not come from the admissions office. It came directly from the UT President’s email. Who received this email and what is your current status. I need details people! I’m losing it over here!
@GoinCray19 Everyone got it.
@GoinCray19 - ah - yet another mystery … my son did NOT get that email … hmmmmm …
Ugh!
@GoinCray19 Mine did not receive this message ……
@TXDad56 Am I onto something?
Not sure my input helps (or increases anxiety) but my son first had the same “Welcome Longhorns” and “Classification First Time Freshman” under the Housing tab weeks ago. He was admitted to Moody last Friday.
That’s promising!!
This whole experience is like investigating the Zapruder film! And has me refreshing the My Status page like I’m trying to get tickets to a concert on Ticketmaster ? Good luck to all you guys and glad we’re all in it together!
I posted this yesterday when the buzz started on the housing thing, but one other change besides housing application came up on my daughter’s page under the section that says “recommended”. She has a new line item that says “document upload requests” but when I click through, its her LOR’s and all say “received”. That was not there before and I’ve been checking daily so I know this did not happen until yesterday. LOL Her items under “Done” have never changed and have been complete since Sep 30. Anyone else have this in addition to the housing change? And yes, if the crazy train is rolling through town, glad we are all on the same route. 
@GoinCray19 I hope so…but I don’t think so.
NO NO NO, I am not on this crazy train, @TXlove. The changes that you are seeing on the housing/honors tabs should be interpreted as having nothing, I repeat nothing to do with an admission decision. The only thing relevant to an admission decision is in fact an admission decision.
You guys will drive yourself crazy trying to read too much into changes in the portal. The decision will come when it comes. My guess is that the roll out will follow the pattern of the past few years.
The Holiday card from the President is sent to all collected emails in order to wish you Happy Holidays and keep UT relevant in your mind. (marketing).
Best of Luck to all, you/your child have/has worked very hard for the past 4 years, trust the process and let it take it’s course.
Wonder if these slight changes in the portals happen every year
@GoinCray19 we did NOT receive that email. status is still in review. sounds promising!
does anyone remember what time last friday the wave came out? was it 7 texas time or 6 or more like 3?
thanks!
@michigan2019 - it started late afternoon 3-4pm and lasted all the way through Saturday mid morning …
@dday666666 thank u sm
My friend and I just called, and they said that the weekly waves will continue. I’m not sure who said that the next one will be in January, but that may be wrong.
@TXlove we so NOT have a line item under recommended that reads document upload. not sure what to think of that other than someone has been handling ur file.
@xtexasmom first, thx for letting us know that ur portal didnt say this. second are u sure u looked inside the portal? it took me a bit to find it.
