It appears that all the OOS applicants that have heard on acceptance are non-engineering?

31

any OOS acceptances for McCombs yet?

32

Agreed. Looks like engineering and science majors are still waiting.

33

Congrats @crazyboymom !! Still waiting to hear about my d – “In review” . Hopefully this week !

34

My college counselor got an email saying that there will be a bunch of admission decisions sent out this week for auto admit. Hopefully I’m on that list! I applied very early August.

35

Looks like engineering non-auto admits are still waiting…has anyone heard?

36

I’m assuming we will start hearing back on Friday because it’s the day after admissions closes.

37

Here’s hoping it’s Friday…

38

I guess not. May be next week?

39

Last year there was a big bundle of decisions released on Dec 16, but UTs admission process is so random it’s hard to know for sure. They’ll probably start coming out next week since they aren’t accepting anymore applications (hopefully)

Hope springs eternal…
