University of Texas at Austin Class of 2024 Admissions / Preparation

@Flea68 I believe the LOR can still be uploaded directly from MyStatus via the “document upload” in the “To Do” list in the “Admission ” tab. good luck to your daughter!

Can we expect a major acceptance wave today or tomorrow?

What time would the potential wave tonight be released at?

@ttd11244
I would think between now and 6 pm

Not sure if anyone got accepted today. I don’t see any change in portal.

Last year it looks like many people received Thursday evening after break and Friday morning.

Non-ranking school
ACT 34 (Math 35)

On LOR’s; his school writes very comprehensive and personalized LOR’s. As a smaller school, the faculty gets to know the students pretty intimately and my guess (because I don’t get to see them) is it shows in the recs they get. I would think the LOR’s help greatly, especially on the PAI (personal achievement index) side of UT’s admissions process.

any chance of a release tonight?

@rola23 Always a chance. :smiley: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/840/283/350.png

haha. thanks I need a laugh. I have twins… double waiting

@rola23 In all seriousness, reading through last year’s posts, it seems that there was a small wave of top-tier candidates accepted on 1/10 (which was a Thursday last year), so I think there might be a chance for something similar.

Yes, last years first wave(after New Years) came around 8:30pm on Thursday(1/10). Based on last year’s forum, most waves seem to occur on Friday.

thanks :slight_smile:

Was anyone else’s admissions portal appear to be broken at moments today? I kept getting error messages saying heavier than usual load on the servers? Sign of an incoming wave?

@“Collegeperson010204!” More likely a sign of eager applicants and parents.

Haha … @HokieCrazy Not ashamed to say that I really enjoyed that movie

Btw, TAMU portal was down this morning as well. I guessed lots of people thinking decisions for both schools are coming out today … Crossing my fingers and toes …

@rola IIRC UT has an internal policy to not separate twins. I think this is grounds for successful appeal if one is denied. The appeal windows are tight so note the dates.

OOS … been in that status since Oct. 5.

Hmm. we applied late Nov. May be they just picked the file for review. Not sure.
