University of Texas--Austin Admissions

<p>Bump! some feedback is appreciated :slight_smile: I am so worried just cuz of my rank, I just want to go to UT for Physics (CNS) even! Aerospace is my first choice tho and congrats! @ClassicalCollege‌ @Joekster‌ and thats what I thought too! not until early march or so</p>

<p>@vs1997 I’m not sure to be honest. I didn’t get an email or anything. Today, I just decided to see if anything had changed and for some reason my password didn’t work so I had to make a new one (turns out that it’s pretty much impossible to meet their standards for a good password). Here are my stats.</p>

<p>SAT I (by section): CR: 730 M: 800 W: 690 Composite: 2220<br>
SAT II (by test): Literature (770), Math 2 (800), Physics (800)
ACT: English: 35 Math: 35 Reading: 35 Science: 35 Composite: 35 - writing: 11
GPA: 4.00 UW, 4.2 W
Rank: 1/63</p>

<p>Basically, good test scores, decent ECs, and frankly, some terrible essays. I put off my application until the last minute so I ended up writing all 3 essays the night it was due.
@joekster Yeah, that’s actually what I thought too, but I guess I got lucky or maybe they just have that as the latest date. I’m not sure. I hope you hear back soon!</p>

<p>@ClassicalCollege‌ That’s pretty crazy! Nice Stats! What do you think about me? I put my stats in a post above</p>

<p>@vs1997 I honestly don’t know. I would personally say that you are a strong applicant regardless of your rank, but I don’t know what the admission office puts emphasis on. I’m not sure how competitive Aero engineering is, but I think you’ll at least have a decent chance. Sorry, I honestly really don’t think I’m the right person to ask. Good luck nonetheless!</p>

<p>@vs1997 also, you have displayed competence in pertinent fields - science and math in particular and that will definitely be helpful, esp. will a good rec letter I would think.</p>

<p>@ClassicalCollege‌ Thanks! good luck! :slight_smile: and any other feedback is appreciated friends! </p>

<p>we can openly discuss our woes and worries about this process!</p>

<p>bump!</p>

<p>I am an out of state student and I applied to Moody but have yet to hear back. One kid from my school applied to the film school and got in yesterday. I have a 32 ACT and a 3.89 GPA. Very anxiously awaiting to hear back.</p>

<p>Lets hope it will be soon! @cyclone123‌ i really want it to be this week! </p>

<p>@vs1997 do you know of anyone who has heard back from Moody?</p>

<p>@cyclone123‌ nope not yet, i’ve only heard of acceptances from mccombs, cockrell, and a few natural sci.</p>

<p>@cyclone123 @vs1997 I’m waiting on Moody too! I applied late October. Very nervous. Any predictions when it will come out/ if we will get an email?</p>

<p>@khauldi‌ from the trends years past, it seems as if they release decisions by “waves”. so the first wave was this past week on friday. and I’m assuming the next one will be during winter break sometime.</p>

<p>I’m OOS- do I just have to wait patiently for the next few months? Or is there a pattern to how they release decisions? </p>

<p>I had no idea they were getting back to people already… how nerve-wracking</p>

<p>@nat97xo‌ it just looks like they are choosing OOS and in-state students (but a preference for in-state). I don’t see a correlation between class rank and date of admission notice. It looks like they are letting people know based on when they applied. I had friends who applied early September and one late September and they got accepted into McCombs and Cockrell, respectively (they are not auto). I applied Oct. 13, so hoping to hear over winter break hopefully.</p>

<p>@vs1997‌ thank you so much! i applied on december 1 so i’ll probably have to wait until march I-) </p>

<p>@nat97xo‌ no problem! good luck :)</p>

<p>Lol just got into A&M for Aerospace Engineering. </p>

<p>My friend (OOS) just got in during the first wave, and he applied Dec 1. He had a 34 ACT, full IB, straight As, and applied to Liberal Arts I believe. I don’t know if that helps at all! I’m hoping to get in soon… I applied to Moody.</p>
