Ummm… my message just went away
Just refreshed and my message went away
yep, same here. I hope that does not mean it really was a deferral notice.
me too
Yes. Same here.
yep - it’s gone. I wonder if they were getting too many calls about it. I wonder if they’re going to send out a better explanation of what is happening.
Gone
I hate that when you call admissions it hangs up on you if the wait is too long. This is so frustrating.
Could it be we were supposed to get this message on the next wave but it posted early and now they have corrected? So confusing.
That’s exactly what I’m afraid of @CyMom4
Me too @CyMom4 and @aggiemom2022. I feel sick just thinking about it!
but everyone got the same message. Would they really have that many deferrals?
Everyone from my school got the message. Even the really really smart kids who applied to Texas as their safety
My step son did not get the message - only my son did. They both applied in October.
@CyMom4 Are you sure it didn’t disappear before he had a chance to see it? UT said everyone got the message…but of course, who really knows with UT. I honestly don’t know if I can handle waiting until March 1.
@Jnyfrtx He checked within 10 mins of me checking my son’s page, so idk. We are waiting on two schools - this is too stressful.
I just got through to admissions at Austin after trying like 5 times. When I asked him if he could explain the message and why it disappeared this morning he said that they took it down because it wasn’t worded clearly enough and everybody was freaking out. He said it is not a deferral, just that some people who were supposed to hear by feb 1st may not hear until march 1st now, but a lot of people may still hear by feb 1st still. He finished saying that the whole priority deadline thing is new this year and they’re trying to work the kinks out because it hasn’t gone that well so far.
I called this morning, too (Austin office), and they said everyone who applied priority would hear a yes or no (not a deferral), so now it seems they are changing their tune to say some will hear. This is what is so frustrating about UT- I wish they would just give a straight, honest answer! The admissions process does not need to be this stressful - UT is making it that way! Ugh!
What a mess! We flooded in Harvey, yet we got both boys applications done early. I wish they would just give us a yes or no, not mixed messages.
