University of Texas at Austin Class of 2024 Admissions / Preparation

What time does the portal typically get updated? Is it in the evenings typically?

Any OOS McCombs BHP confirmed? Whats are the stats?

I applied regular decision and I’m confused as to my why decision came so soon. Is UT Austin rolling?

Also, why does it just say Congratulations. Do they not send out an official acceptance letter?

I get that. I just feel like since so many have heard by now, it might be mostly rejections at this point. My daughter applied for Moody and we have had several OOS acceptances for Moody on here.

Or 5 months! August 2 here, application complete (all recs and school records in) on 9/4. Still waaaa-iii-ting! Plan B and C firmly in place though! :wink:

My son’s showed up when I checked at around 6 pm. I had checked several times earlier in the day, so it had to have been between 4-6 pm.

Does anyone else think that the avg SAT/ACT’s listed for prior admits are artificially lower because some of the AA students of lower performing schools may be getting in with lower standardized test scores? I don’t think it works to assume you are in if you are above those numbers if you are nonAA, even IS. I’ve given this some thought and with all the folks not getting in with higher numbers than that and good ECs and leadership, it occurred to me that that number might be pulled downward by AA’s with lower numbers, but are AA bc they are ranked at their school.

Just waiting here for mmcombs, 34 act and great w/uw gpas, ec, varsity sport 4 years, ton of consistent leadership, work exp, strong writer, early instate and crickets. Doesn’t feel good or that positive news is likely when oos w lower stats are getting in. No special status or hooks.

@texmommm Yes, I agree although for a different reason. My sister reminded me last night that she was auto admit. Because she “knew” that she was accepted, she took the SAT only once without any prep.

@sidney1 Yes! That too! Like my older dd who was AA to her choice. Or also, if you are in those more economically challenged schools you certainly aren’t wasting $ on taking it more than required, for sure!

Has there been any in state, non auto admit, priority app acceptances to the School Of Nursing?

Reddit indicates a yes to that question. :frowning:

Thank you. Still holding out hope…

@ildro - my daughter is OOS and applied to architecture (not dual w/ arch eng). She applied after priority deadline so must wait a bit longer. Do you mind sharing your daughter’s stats? Thanks and congrats!

I am fairly new to the board and have gone back several pages to look at the admissions history. It looks like there have been waves for engineering and OOS. What else? In particular, I am looking for CNS, not AA.

I think you are correct texmommm. I was surprised by some of the scores I’ve seen on here. I actually scored higher 30 years ago with no studying, taking the test one time the day after Homecoming- sick, sore throat not hungover ?. My son has similar stats to what you listed only 2 years sports but 4 in speech, 35 ACT, National Commended Scholar. Short on leadership roles but tons of academic extra-curriculars. Essays probably could have been better, we got input from a consultant for MIT and CalTech essays, but they showed his passion for physics and learning.

We opted to stay with an excellent school over moving to one he’d definitely be top 6% thinking everything else would be enough. Maybe it’s for the best. UT would be such an easy choice but also easy to come home every weekend. He’s got 2 great scholarship offers in other states. In the long run it may push him to excel even more being off on his own.

whats up with TCU I applied RD

@scdmom I couldn’t agree with you more! I’ve read all the books on the insane admissions process and agree it’s not where you go, it’s what you do while you’re there. Maybe they can be a big fish in a smaller pond and be a leader more easily, somewhere else. It also depends on the major, which people don’t realize. Some are easy to get into with minimal h.s. effort (from what I"m seeing at our school w/“party people” getting in) and others nearly impossible.
Hang in there & thank you for responding!!! It’s so nice to be reminded we’re not along in the fog!

I have seen on Reddit today some CS/CNS OOS admissions, yes.
