@starguitar, hurray! I’m glad you finally got an answer. That seems like an excessive amount of time for UT Dallas! Did you ever figure out why it took so long? Sometimes it seems there is no rhyme or reason to these admissions. At the end of the day though, you’ve got an acceptance in the bag! Congrats!
Thanks, @ChillyCow. There was no reply to the email regarding the reason for the delay. Yep, it was a long wait, but it came through.
We applied at the end of Oct and got the acceptance email for JSOM yesterday
S21 got some swag in the mail from JSOM…lanyard, pen and some stickers…also an invite to apply to the Davidson Honors Management Program.
He’s still waiting to hear from Texas A&M…if TAMU doesn’t come through I’m getting the distinct feeling he may end up at UTD lol

Does anyone have an idea about when students will be able to connect with each other to possibly set up roommate/dorm plans?
@amsunshine If they have applied for housing and made the deposit, they can already see their housing questionnaire “matches” but I didn’t look to see if and how they would make contact. There may be some informal accepted/incoming Freshman student social media group on a portal like Discord for example, but I’m not sure.
We’re anxiously awaiting any news about AES before she commits to UTD and starts planning.
@amsunshine - as @moonmomma9 stated, you can see matches on the housing site in your application. My son had someone contact him via his UTD email account. That’s how we figured all this out. So if you see someone who looks like a good match, you can email and exchange more information. If there are other ways to connect, my son would love to find out about them, too!
Thanks @moonmomma9 and @creekster519. She’s looked for what you are talking about and I’ve searched, too, but we can’t figure out where you are seeing these matches. I will continue to look.
@amsunshine You have to log in to the starrrez portal and proceed as if you’re applying. That brings up the application already completed. Click on “First Year Roommate Groups” under the Application Summary. At the bottom are orange links to search for potential roommates or create a roommate group. The profiles don’t list majors, though, just general roommate preferences.

Hi, @jinsun2000 Have you heard anything about AES yet? I understand this year is going to be different. Just wondering…
No we have not heard yet. The acceptance letter said late December.

FYI: earlier today I saw AES award in my D’s portal for a hot minute, but it was quickly gone when she went to log in again. UTD servers in general seem to be on the fritz today. I don’t know if the peek I saw was indicative of what may be forthcoming, but I imagine it won’t be much longer before they’re released.

Did she see an update?
Checking my S21’s portal, I can see in the financial aid section an anticipated fall and spring waivers total around $25k. This must be for OOS tuition waiver. I did not see any AES award yet.
The Financial Aid icon still says no information found but an AES award letter did show up in the communications box.
Does that mean they officially sent the AES letter?
I don’t know if they also send one via snail mail or email later or it only shows in their communications box. I’m sure when the full FA package is put together it will show up under than icon. Also keep in mind that their website says that AES notifications will go out on a “rolling basis” beginning in December, so they may not have all come out at once.
Edit: Update 12/16–the award letter is no longer there and FA page still has no information. It will be what will be, but not knowing if it was awarded in error is nerve wracking. Anyone else have information populated in the last day or two disappear? Or when it’s all finalized?

AES letter gone for us as well, but FA package is there.
Does your FA information include the AES? FA is finally populated but just has the standard $5500 federal loan. The AES webpage now says that offers will be mailed this week. Snail mail, I assume… fingers crossed…
