@jacobegg just curious…did your friend who got into architecture Friday apply for Plan 2?
@Mills6 I don’t think he did.
Has anyone who applied Plan II but not majoring in COLA gotten into their major yet?
@freshman167 my daughter just got into McCombs and is trying for Plan 2 and BHP
When do those who applied to the College of Natural Sciences hear back?
@freshmesh167 I got into BME Friday and I applied plan II
Question: my school mailed letters of rec to UT, but after a while the thing on my portal that recommended I upload letters of rec to my application never went away. A week or two ago I just uploaded them electronically, and now it says it is done in my application. Is this fine? Is there a chance that they got them initially and never updated my profile?
@patsfan123 The recommended item will actually never go away. Click on the far right tab titled “my Documents” to check if the rec letter has been received by the admissions office.
PLAN II APPLICANTS! CHECK MYSTATUS! I JUST GOT ACCEPTED!
@nadiaSW Did you get accepted to another major previously or was Plan II your 1st major choice?
@nadiaSW CONGRATULATIONS!!! Will tell my daughter to check when she gets home. Good luck to everyone!
Congratulation getting into honors! Understand BHP adds value to a McCombs graduate. What does plan II adds? It may be a dumb question, but we haven’t visited UT yet to understand more into these programs.
Are the short responses a big part of the UT application? Mine were really short and I am concerned.
@RileyM , My son had short answers 350-400 words each, written in short essay style. We got some advice that these may be considered long for short answers. But he could not make it short to satisfy the story behind each. One of the short answers was resubmitted because ApplyTexas trimmed some special characters.
Yes, short answers are very important IMHO, because it tells about career goal, candidate’s leadership and of course obstacles one may have faced academically and personally.
My son was accepted into McCombs on Friday and just received a call that he was accepted into BHP…
Thats the whole point of short answers- to see how well you can tell a story/message in under a certain character limit. Good luck if you went over, since its telling you right there that theres a word limit
may i ask will make engineering both of my major choices will potentially increase my acceptance chance? Thank you
Second choice major is just there in case youre not accepted into first choice, youll be considered to second. Keep in mind your second choice is someone’s first. However, if your essays all talk about engineering, then it makes it look like youre interested in that major. I dont know if itll increase your chance though.
@Ex 85 congratulation！ when your son applied? my son just submitted his application on Dec 1st, nothing come out
