UT Austin Dean's Scholars 2023

My guess is a portal update and a letter in the mail a few days later.

What are the chances that we actually hear back by tomorrow? My portal says we’re supposed to

@dunnowheretogo Where are you seeing that in your portal?

@collegemom111111 when I click on the “more details button” on the honors tab it says “we will do our best to provide you a decision efficiently and no later than March 1”

@dunnowheretogo That’s so weird. When I click on “view details” in the honors tab it just takes me to a list of “required items” completed with check boxes next to them.

@collegemom111111 does it say “we are still reviewing your application for Dean’s Scholars” in the tab?

@dunnowheretogo it says “We’re reviewing your Dean’s Scholars application”

Same here as @collegemom111111

@Suave123 @collegemom111111 did you apply by November 1 or December 1?

Dec 1

Okay then that explains it. I applied by November 1 and they said they needed an additional review of my application before making a decision and that they would do their best to provide a decision efficiently and no later than March 1

For those applied by dec 1, when do u think they will release decisions? Any idea?

Dec 1

To those who are still reviewing, I called them. The new final date is March 15th. The admissions AND rejections are ROLLING. If you still have it in review, they haven’t physically gotten to looking at your app yet.

@Kevuseth2000 thank you for the update! On my portal it says I will have a decision by tomorrow, so I’m hoping for the best!!

@Kevuseth2000 Do you mean for anyone who still has a CNS honors application in review? My portal says “We’re still reviewing…” Does the March 15th notification deadline apply to me too?

Edit–I just now re-read your post. Think I got it now. Sigh… I applied HSS though, so I am unsure as to whether or not this is applicable for all CNS honors people.

I called the CNS and it’s applicable to all CNS applicants as I called the CNS and never specified I was applying to Dean’s.

Aw darn. That’s really disappointing, but I suppose March 15 will be here eventually. Still confused seeing that my portal says by March 1 but since it came directly from the horse’s mouth, there we have it.

so 3/15 for Dean’s scholars notifications?

I believe so. I do think, however, that students who applied by Nov. 1 and received the message guaranteeing an admission decision by March 1 in their portal will receive a notification tomorrow.
