@Shadowsych 1430 and no AES? I’m scared now. Maybe they’ve run out of scholarships? Too many applicants this year?
@ToBeGrad @throwawaycc0207 They never provided a reason for my AES rejection. All they said was “every year UTD gets more competitive for AES scholarships.”
Here were my stats for anybody who’s curious:
- 14/100 Class rank
- Took 7 IB classes and 8 AP classes (took the most challenging classes provided in my school)
- IB Diploma Candidate
- 1430 SAT score and 30 ACT score
- Had mostly As throughout my high school year, and a couple of Bs
- Texas resident
@Shadowsych I think it’s because you’re resident… What about your friends who have high stats but haven’t received AES notification? Scores like 1490, 1520 or 36 should be an auto admit.
Have you all checked your portal? I didn’t receive an email or letter stating that I received the AES scholarship, but according to my portal, I got honors. UTD seems to be a bit late with sending out emails and letters.
@PancakeQueen where did you check on the portal? Underneath Financial Aid? Congrats!
1450 SAT, 3.9 UW, good ECs and got Achievement.
@icymusca Yep, right under financial aid. Thanks! It was quite surprising since I’m not really involved in any ECs worth noting.
@PancakeQueen That’s great to hear! If you don’t mind me asking, what was your test score? I am planning on writing to them to reconsider, but I don’t know whether it is going to work out.
@icymusca did you receive any reply to email.
@Shadowsych which email did you use
@icymusca My stats:
- 1540 SAT
- 5/333 class rank
- 3.9 unweighted gpa, 4.2 weighted gpa
- Accepted on Nov 28th
- Majoring in software engineering
Hope this helps!
@ProRazor I haven’t heard back yet ): It’s probably either because they’ve got an influx of emails or they’re choosing to ignore mine. Did you get a response yet?
@icymusca Nope I haven’t received mine either 
@icymusca : What email add did you used when you emailed them? I emailed them yesterday around 1:37 PM and got a reply around 7:32 pm.
@Smippi I used aes@utdallas.edu, how about you? What did they say to you?
@icymusca : I used interest@utdallas.edu and my daughter’s application was reviewed and awarded for Distinction.
@Smippi: What was the acceptance date for your daughter? My son got accepted on December 13th and so far we have not received anything for AES.
@Smippi Please share your daughter’s stats like scores, gpa, rank, ecs, classes, etc. When was she admitted?
@plano2018 : She was accepted 1st week of Oct.
@Pro1234 : ACT 31, weighted GPA 4.13, rank 7/179, an A student since elementary
Did anyone receive an email or any updates? I emailed them yesterday evening and didn’t receive a reply yet.
