<p>For me, my plan b is texas a&m. I hope the best for all of us!!!</p>
<p>I also applied to ut and got waitlisted. I applied to college of natural sciences and hope to hear back soon with good news!</p>
<p>Okay guys, it’s the 1st, has anyone heard anything?
I sent in an appeal letter just in case…tell me what y’all think!</p>
<p>To Whom It May Concern:</p>
<pre><code> My name is [deleted] and I am a senior at Highlands High School in San Antonio, Texas. Like thousands of other seniors across the nation, I applied for freshman admission at the University of Texas at Austin. Unfortunately, I was not given the admission decision for which I had hoped and dreamed. I was offered a spot in the Coordinated Admission Program (CAP) and also a spot on the Fall 2012 waitlist. Even though I am grateful for the opportunity to even be considered as a contender for the wait list, this is not enough for me.
</code></pre>
<p>I am not your typical high school senior who worked their way through the four years of high school; my sophomore year of high school I chose to take a route that I thought would benefit my future and expose me to a different level of education. I enrolled in a dual credit program called Gateway to College and started taking college classes in the spring of 2010. These classes were to count as hours towards my degree as well as credits towards my high school diploma. Until recently, I was under the impression that every class I was taking at the community college was being recorded and put onto my high school transcript as I and the high school had received grade reports every semester. Days before I sent in my application to UT Austin, I reviewed my transcript that my high school counselor had sent me and it was not correct. None of my dual credit classes that I had taken in the past two years had been added, my rank and G.P.A were incorrect, and there was nothing that they could do for me before the application deadline. Naturally, I was devastated because I knew that the transcript would not be acceptable for UT. My high school counselor did eventually add my dual credit classes, but she informed me that my rank and G.P.A couldn’t be changed until the following semester. In the beginning of this semester, the rank and G.P.A were corrected and I am correctly placed in the top 8 percent of my class-which means I should qualify for automatic admission.
I am writing this appeal to inform the Office of Admissions of the mistake that has been made. I am going to be a first-generation high school graduate and will be the first in my family to attend college. I have persevered through many obstacles and made sure that I did everything that I possibly could do to be granted admission to my first choice university. I enrolled and completed 63 hours of college course work, maintained my grades, was involved in my community, wrote for my college newspaper, worked throughout my time in high school and sacrificed everything I had to get where I am today. I refuse to run the risk of being denied admission for an error that wasn’t my fault. I have always lived by the idea that the things one wants the most are the things one must work the hardest to gain. I want to attend the University of Texas at Austin more than anything and I am going to fight for my spot in this school. I ask that my application be reviewed with this new information and that the Office of Admissions will see that these classes were taken well in advance of my application. An administrative error drastically altered my chances of being accepted into the university and I only ask that this be taken into consideration. </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Has anyone heard anything yet?</p>
<p>Nope. I don’t think we’ll hear until the 14 or 15</p>
<p>nope, still waiting here as well. No wonder they call this the “wait list”. They really make you wait.</p>
<p>I hate being on the waitlist just tell us already!!!</p>
<p>Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff</p>
<p>If you guys want to know what the waitlist was like last year, check out this thread:</p>

<p>It made me feel a little better.</p>
<p>It made me feel better as well, but also made me even more nervous that what I already am. Hopefully we hear something this week.</p>
<p>Me too. I wonder what that supposed to mean.</p>
<p>Well, i got rejected :((</p>
<p>ACCEPTED! Thank you UT for the offer, but I am sticking with Texas A&M! Gig 'em Aggies! :D</p>
<p>Ill see u there toyotatundrafun.</p>
<p>Okay so I was rejected. :(</p>
<p>But I sent in an appeal, and my MyStatus says this…</p>
<p>The Office of Admissions has made final decisions for students on the wait list. We’re sorry that we aren’t able to offer you admission to the summer/fall entering class. The number of students who accepted our admission offers means that we are not able to admit many of the students on the wait list this year.</p>
<p>The Office of Admissions has received your appeal and the Admissions Appeals Committee will conduct a review.
■A decision about your appeal may be available after an initial review. If it is, an appeal decision will be posted on this page in the next few weeks.
■In other cases, the committee will need additional time, perhaps several weeks, to make appeal decisions; some decisions may not be made until mid-May.
■Either way, however, the committee’s decision about your appeal will be posted on this page as soon as it is available, and a letter will be mailed to your permanent address. </p>
<p>So does this mean they are still reviewing my appeal?</p>
<p>I was rejected yesterday too!! I sent an email to the UT Austin representative last night and she told me there was a glitch in the system or something. My status changed back to “You have accepted our offer to join the Fall 2012 wait list. Find out what will happen next.”</p>
<p>They’re killing me.</p>
<p>Mine did that too! So then we weren’t rejected?</p>
<p>Me too guys, I hope for the best!!</p>
<p>same thing happened to me. Going to call the Admissions office tomorrow and see if there was a glitch</p>
<p>Hey CT - did the lady say what the “glitch” was? Did she say the rejections were not supposed to happen?? I hate to get excited about this all over again after the disappointment yesterday.</p>
<p>Hey Toyota - if you decided for sure you are going to A&M, will you please call the UT admissions office and tell them you are not going to accept? If, in fact, there was a glitch and they haven’t made final decisions on some of us, that will open up a spot for those of us who have UT as first choice. But - if I don’t get in - I’m at A&M too. Thanks!</p>
