Just received an email to check status

For those asking if you have to continually check the portal after 5pm CST, my memory from a couple weeks ago is that my S got an email two hours later to check his portal. As did a lot of other people that night (and at least several tonight). If the email is set on a 2 hour timer it implies acceptances go out at around 5pm pretty much all at once.

Thanks that’s my sense too but I wanted to confirm others opinions.

We received the email just now - saw it on portal an hour back.

Curious if any in state auto CS admits have received notice on Turing, CSB, Deans, etc? We still show as being reviewed.

1814

Maybe an 8pm EST release? Or would it be another day?

To the experts here, how does UT Austin Engineering compare with Purdue Engineering? Per US News ranking they are both ranked as #10. Any insights would be appreciated- thanks!

I am familiar with both and work with alumni of both. UT advantage is it admits direct to major. Purdue has general engineering the first year.

EDIT- it means that you have to be admitted to your major at Purdue and be competitive for it your freshman year. TAMU does the same thing for all engineering majors plus CS!

Indeed, UT is direct admit. Any insights into course rigor, student help, internship/job prospects, dorm situations? We have heard Purdue housing is a bit sketchy. We are OOS for both. Our DS has offer from both. Thanks!

My sample size is probably 10+ years old but we have a lot of debates about this. Course rigor is higher at Purdue but not in a positive way. Have heard it is a bit more competitive among students, and sometimes non collaborative. I suppose the first year gen engineering and competing for major doesn’t help that. UT rigor is just right based on feedback from grads that are in my workplace at least for Chem E and Mech E. I can’t speak to the dorm situation. In terms of hiring, I did recruit for my company in the past. A very large well known company. We found talent retention to be better among UT engineers since they are somewhat local. We therefore favored them slightly. Both result in quality talent and are recruited equally at least in my company.

Thank you so much for this info! TREL looks awesome - my son would love getting involved his first year. Does your son live on campus? We are trying to figure out which might be the best residence hall.
Happy for any other suggestions you have!
