UT Austin Class of 2028 Official Thread

It depends when all your documents were processed. My son submitted all his documents very early (July/August). He submitted application on 10/22 and when he checked his status on 10/24, he was already Automatically Admitted. He is still waiting for decision on his major.

Anybody heard if any auto-admits received their decision on major? Iā€™m curious in particular for engineering majors.

Hello, my student submitted the application through commonapp Monday night and still hasnā€™t received email from UT with Eid by this morning. Is this normal? Thanks

It took a week or so for us back in August. I bet it would take longer now with the rush of Nov 1

Thank you. My daughter submitted application on 10/27 and received the email for portal on the next day. But it is still not receive auto-admitted yet.

Upon verifying the rank with official transcript, the auto-admit status will show. It usually takes a week or two depends on how early they receive the end of Junior year transcript.
Admit to major likely takes more time. Last few years admit to major usually around November to January, with end of January soft-deny applicants with COLA offer. Decisions were released in batches.

Question about test optional. If an SAT score was submitted and we would like to revoke that decision, it shows that you can opt out even if you have already sent it. Does the college still ā€œsee the scoreā€ if you choose to opt out, but just not use it in the holistic review? Worried they cant ā€œunseeā€ it.

does anyone know if UT does OOS admissions drops? I knew a few years ago they released some in December.

what about COE?

College of Engineering major admission around November to January. Some RD applicants in Feb. If offered CAP there is no path to Engineering, CAP only have COLA options.

sorry, I meant the college of education. also for an OOS applicant?

I was also wondering if a lot of kids applying to UT have research internships or no?

Thank you. Got portal login tonight.

Iā€™ve scanned through last year thread and did not see any November decisions coming out for engineering students until Dec 13 when a large batch of decisions came out for all types of majors. I guess only a few exceptional students get decisions in November, is this a correct assumption?

Do you know if any of these were OOS applicants? I am assuming no. Thanks.

Yes, there were a bunch of OOS decisions on Dec 13 last year.

One OOS engineering applicant submitted on Dec 1 last year and received his admission to major decision on Dec 13. Miracles like these do happen :slight_smile:

do we think it will come out in December again this year? what about the college of education?

Only some students received their major decision in mid-December last year. People who are here on this thread are mostly overachievers, so they tend to receive decisions earlier than most applicants. Last year, my sonā€™s friend with 1530 SAT and auto-admit received his acceptance in February. So you never know. But I do expect some of us on this thread will get decisions in mid-December.

I do not know about College of Education. I suggest searching last year thread with keyword ā€œeducationā€ and see what comes up. Last year thread has wealth of information.
