Thread for those waiting to hear back from UT Austin who applied to COFA.
Did anyone apply to the Design BA major? I genuinely haven’t been able to find anyone to talk to who has and the waiting really sucks right now especially because EA decisions are out
@bms2222 thanks for setting up this thread! @kmacrna @jensen25501 @min17gl0 Does anyone know if anyone who has applied to COFA and been accepted yet? I’m trying to understand if eveyone got the message saying we’d know by 3/1
Adding @mamawitch @HopefulMom629 This is the COFA thread
Thank you for tagging me to this thread @NoraDrake. DD applied priority to COFA for BFA Theater first choice major, and BA Theater/Dance as second choice major. We were really hopeful to hear something last Friday but seemed to receive the standard reply as most did that they are still reviewing application due to high demand etc… We have not heard of any acceptances yet. This is a really hard process.
My son applied by the regular deadline and received the same update on Friday, 2/1. Have there been any rejections for COFA yet? I have not heard of any on other threads…
For what I have heard from the admission office is that if you are a resident, you don’t get capped since u will hear back after the deadline for cap. They said that I will be offered a different program if not acceptance but they have no idea what the program might be
I am waiting on a decision to the design major (a very new school). I have been really struggling to find any info on how rigorous their admissions are, or when we may hear back. I haven’t even been able to see much from the past years about if they are more lenient or selective.
I am OOS and applied priority to the Studio Art BFA. I haven’t been able to find any info on how competitive admissions is for that major…got the same March 1 message. I’m just curious if they have released any decisions at all
I know this isn’t COFA, but I applied to the School of Architecture and received the 3/1 message as well. I didn’t even have to submit a portfolio.
I have been talking to admissions for days and gotten no concrete answer regarding CAP and missing the deadline. Can you give me any more details? Did you talk with them directly?
@Sbeards17 I am actually out of state and awaiting my COFA decision. So while I cannot answer the CAP question, I too am waiting in the dark for my decision. I pray they come quickly because this is incrediby hard (UT is my first choice)
I really hope they release COFA decisions tomorrow. Feeling mentally and emotionally drained lol 8-}
I have been talking with the admissions directly and they said that since we miss the deadline for CAP we will be offered a different program but they don’t know which. Also the admissions said that they are working hard to get the decision by next week
Our son is an auto-admit and we’re awaiting word on the design program. He also got the “we got lots of applications and are re-reviewing” message stating they’ll have an answer by March 1.
Did everyone’s message say that? By the way it’s worded, it seems like son’s app could be in a “maybe” pile that’s getting a second look. Or are they combing through everyone’s a second time?
@monkey99 From what I understand, if you are auto admit, you are guaranteed admission to the University, not necessarily your chosen major. The review is probably to determine whether they will offer your son admission to the design program, if not, perhaps his second choice major. Hopefully he gets his first choice! Good luck!
Oh, thank you Hopeful Mom - I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. We know he’s got admission to the university…we’re just waiting on his admission to COFA. He’s interested in design but took very little art in high school due to schedule conflicts. Of course I thought his portfolio was great, but we have to find out whether UT’s COFA thinks so too. I wish they’d hurry up!
Good luck to your kiddo too!
Any chance we hear back this friday?
I really hope so but not holding my breath. I am pretty sure we won’t hear anything until closer to March 1st.
My son just got his acceptance from Butler. It was on his MyStatus page. Good luck to all of you.
