My son called the admissions office to see why his transcript wasn’t processing thru the system. They found and corrected the problem over the phone. Parents should NOT call-they won’t talk to you. I dialed and then handed my son the phone :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello,
For recommendations via common app for UT, is it only teacher recommendations? Or can kids submit recommendations from work, spiritual leaders etc ?

My kids says in common app, only teacher recommendations can be requested. No option of any other recommendations

Yes, so if your student has a job and the manager can provide LOR for your student to upload via MySTATUS
If LOR writer prefers to mail it, include a self-stamped envelope with the address and EID for the writer to mail it.

  1. What is AIS ?
  2. Does the manager need access to AIS to upload the LOR ?

We emailed them and as of yesterday the transcript shows as “reviewed.” However, we are still getting a redirect to service desk. How long does it take to enable access to Housing portal? Getting a little frustrated/anxious :slight_smile:

24-48 hours.

Anyone know when UT mails out acceptance information (such as the Gone to Texas sign) after acceptance shows up on MyStatus?

Thank you! So far I’ve only gotten the general auto admit to the university and haven’t gotten word on my major yet. I’m hoping to get into McCombs!

Hi. Just sharing timeline for my daughter getting her initial housing application going. Her transcript on MyStatus showed as under review from 9/29–10/4. No word on 10/5, but then got housing app access on 10/6. So, done, sigh, yay. :slight_smile:

Hi All, My S24 submitted UT app last week and received my status EID and signed in and see that official transcript received today on 10/6/23. When would we be able to get into housing app to pay for deposit?

My son is having trouble with “change the world” essay. What do admission officers want on this? Do you all have any suggestions. Is this essentially Why UT essay?
