Hi My son’s UTD completion was marked completed on oct 7th. We haven’t heard anything yet. His GPA is 3.94, SAT score is 1340. Major applied for is Computer Science. Can anyone share how long it took for them to hear back?
Did you apply with official SAT scores from the Collage Board? Mine applied 11/13 and has been in review, but they still have not received his official SAT from the College Board.
My son got his acceptance today. It has taken close to 2 months. He submitted the application on 09/21, but it was 10/07 by the time supporting documents were submitted. He actually emailed admissions team yesterday and they responded back saying that they have record number of applications this year and hence the delay. For class of 2028, my advice would be to apply as early as you can. Try to get your recommendation letters from your teachers towards the end of Junior year, so that you can be ready with everything at the start of Senior year.
And yes we applied with official SAT scores from College Board.
Best of luck to everyone!
Son applied OOS CS in September, marked as complete in early October, haven’t heard anything back yet. He’s a NMSF, 4.2 WGPA, 1550 SAT, CS intern at UT-Dallas (remotely) last summer.
That’s weird. I’m also OOS, NMSF and I applied for Data Science. I was accepted a week ago and my application was marked complete Oct 12. For context, I had a 4.8 W GPA and multiple relevant data science and statistics internships/research positions. I also had a few college classes (from running start) – namely linear algebra, multi var calc etc. But, it could also be that I marked UT Dallas as my first choice on the NM portal? You might want to do so if you haven’t already.
He has Linear Algebra, Calc 3, Discrete Math, and four post-AP college CS courses (not included in his GPA), so along with everything else I would assume he’s a strong candidate for UT-Dallas. But it’s CS, which can be a little cuckoo admission-wise everywhere, so I admit I’m getting a little nervous. It’s one of his top two or three choices, assuming he gets National Merit Finalist.
First NM choice I don’t think matters at this point, because I believe the first time the colleges receive that info from National Merit isn’t until around March 1.
We called the admissions office and they told my son to email admission@utdallas.edu with “Attention: Recruiters” in the subject and check what might be causing the delay. He did that and got a response within a day and also got his acceptance the same week. You might want to try that.
