UT Austin Dean's Scholars 2023

Does anyone know when decisions are made? Has anyone heard yet?

I’m not sure either. I applied in October and haven’t heard back. I sent them an email today so I’ll let you know if I hear anything

My D applied too, waiting to hear , although she got into CNS on Jan 10

They responded and said that everyone who applied by November 1 will receive a decision in the mail mid-February

@dunnowheretogo did they mention in the email for dean’s scholar admission?

@Suave123 yea I meant applicants for dean’s scholars not regular admission — I think almost everyone has received their admissions decision if they applied by November 1

I have a good friend who got in a while ago but I haven’t heard of anyone else since then

FYI- my current Dean’s son said the first open house is late February. They will have several throughout the spring.

If you haven’t already looked at the website- lots of info here: http://deansscholars.org/

A truly outstanding program. Good luck to you all waiting to hear!

There’s action for Dean’s. Check your portal.

Anyone got dean’s scholar tonight? My D’s status still says ‘in review’

I was denied Dean’s Scholars. I am declining my Bio CNS spot for a full ride at Baylor. I hope that someone on the waiting list can have my spot. Best of luck to all. I sure we will be seeing each other at summer research programs in the near future. Peace

My daughter was denied Dean’s last night, but she’s fine with that. When we clicked the honors tab, the note had changed to something like we are not able to offer you admission to Dean’s. After looking back over the Dean’s description several days ago, she probably had not really demonstrated an interest in research through her EC’s. She is in to CNS Biology & very happy with that. She has a few OOS apps out still but most likely will be attending UT. If you are still being considered, good luck!

@Suave123 does yours still say “in review”? I got an email from UT saying to check my MyStatus account, but my honors still says “in review” like yours

@dunnowheretogo we didn’t receive any email to check status portal. But already admitted to CNS physics on Jan 10th.

@Suave123 huh okay. I was admitted for neuroscience in early December, so there should have been no other reason to update my portal other than to post something about Deans. Idk why they told me to check status portal if nothing was updated

Never mind. I just read the fine print and it says they need an additional review of my application before making a final decision

what full ride did you accept at BU? other than faculty scholarship, i’m not aware of any others offered yet (regents gold is later this month)

My son too got an email about status update a couple of days ago. But when I check the status, the update is for Turing Scholars (“we must complete an additional review of your application before making a final decision…We will do everything we can to provide a decision notification efficiently and no later than March 1”). The status on Deans Scholars still shows the same (“is currently in review”).

@Suave123 Does your D’s still say “in review”? Ours does.

Sounds like there have been some denials for Dean’s and some not yet updated. Have there been acceptances?
