<p>Hello. So I am currently on the waiting list UT Austin and I'm wondering if anyone had to go through it last year. I know this is the second year they're doing a waitlist but I want to know my chances of acceptance. They only waitlisted 450 students this year. Thanks</p>
<p>My son is also in the waiting list. If someone can provide the stats of how many waitlisted students got into UT Austin last year…will get some idea.</p>
<p>Not many waitlisted students are accepted. Depending on your stats, you can sort of see your chance of getting admitted.</p>
<p>I applied to Cockrell college of engineering and got accepted with a 2130 SAT, 790 MathIIC 700Chem and 3.9 UW GPA.</p>
<p>hi dhs911230, what do you mean by not many students are accepted? do you know more about it? pl. let me know. my son also applied in Cockrell. My son doesn’t have as good of stats as you have. Lookign at your stats, I dont have any hopes for my son.</p>
<p>Does any one know how soon they start sending acceptance letter? I know the latest by May 13th. I saw in one of the 2009 thread one of the students said he got the letter on Apr 30th. Do we have to wait that long?</p>
<p>Here’s the data I found from the CDS
C2. Freshman wait-listed students (students who met admission requirements but whose final admission was contingent on space availability)
Do you have a policy of placing students on a waiting list? Yes No
If yes, please answer the questions below for fall admissions:
Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list: 345
Number accepting a place on the waiting list: 247
Number of wait-listed students admitted: 197
So if they accept 80% out of the waiting list wouldn’t we have a good shot? Just saying.</p>
<p>And the year before 165 students accepted the waiting list offer and they all got in so 100% chance there. I don’t know where you get your theory from dhs911230.</p>
<p>Thanks ak777. Your replies give me lot of hopes. Also it’s good to know that all those are in waiting list are not accepting the wait-list offer. I did nto think about that earlier. Also when I talked to a friend whose son got in last year with wait-list said as far as she knows all of those in the wait-list got admitted. fingers-crossed:)</p>
<p>I heard different from dhs… I heard that basically everyone got in the past two years. also people have speculated that this Wednesday the wait list will start moving. keep your fingers crossed!</p>
<p>Hopefully! 
I’ve been checking every single day since I accepted my wait list offer</p>
<p>Has anyone heard anything yet?</p>
<p>Nope not me.</p>
<p>My sons on. The wait list too anxious to hear any updates!</p>
<p>My daughter is on the waitlist too. We’re checking everyday. No news yet.</p>
<p>This is so stressful, especially since most colleges require deposits by next Sunday.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard anything yet?</p>
<p>Nope not yet. I’m hoping by today evening.</p>
<p>has anyone heard yet?</p>
<p>No. We haven’t heard anything either. Getting anxious!</p>
<p>Me neither! 
I put down yes for A&M, but if I get accepted to UT no doubt switching over!</p>
