UT Dallas Class of 2025-Admissions/Discussions Thread

There is no way she hears back today. Fingers crossed you hear back soon!

I have a question: When does UTD typically indicate an application is under review? I assume it’s sometime after the test scores and transcripts are received and the application is marked as “complete”?

@amsunshine I hope it’s all excitement! No finger crossing needed. Those stats= NMF= student is almost certainly getting a full ride at UTD. Congrats!

Has anyone gotten an acceptance from UT Dallas? It’s been 6 weeks since my son applied and it’s just crickets. When my daughter applied two years ago, I swear it seems like she got an acceptance by the time her finger got off the “submit” button!! It’s making me paranoid because we thought this would be his safety school and would get a fun, quick acceptance for his back pocket while we wait forever on the other schools!

We are still waiting for D21’s school to send her transcripts, so nothing here.

We are in the same boat
school indicated they would send the transcript last week but it looks like they did not.

Someone on Reddit posted about acceptance - Applied 8/12 and acceptance letter dated 9/14.

On the other hand, my D21’s portal says her application is under review, and we are not sure why it reflects that if they have not received her transcript. Maybe it says that for all OOS, whether their app is complete or not.

Arg, my son’s portal just went to a 2 Step Authentication process. I guess I won’t be checking his app anymore.

What does that mean?

@amsunshine , when I tried to check his app (like I do everyday), it now has a pop up about a 2 step process for security. So, I think if I click it, then it will send him a security code on his phone that will need to be used to get into the app.

^^ChillyCow Oh, thanks. I should have known that. I initially thought it was some other phase of application review that I had not heard of yet, lol.

Applied 8/27.
Still says “application under review”
All our documents are in.
Spoke to UTD admissions - said takes 4-6 weeks avg. higher or lower depends on staff, volumes etc

@amsunshine , did your daughter send in rec letters by mail or was she able to send them via the Common App? Thanks

They are being sent via Common app but those are being held up by the GC with my D21’s transcripts. She likes to send everything together apparently, which is part of the holdup for us.

Thank you so much. From their website, it sounded like teachers had to mail the school the recommendations.

My D21 applied on 8/15 but finally application requirements were completed on 9/5.
Got acceptance in portal on 9/14.

Does anyone know if UT Dallas is not doing rolling admissions anymore? If auto admits are hearing back, that would make sense. My son is homeschooled so I wonder if that is why he hasn’t heard anything. It’s been 6 weeks!!

My son was accepted for Fall 2021 yesterday right after they received his high school transcript. We are OOS.

When did you apply: 9/22

That was fast.
