<p>My apps been listed as "complete" since 11/23. Anyway, when does UT usually start accepting/rejecting people?</p>
<p>I turned in my application in mid-September and heard in early November of my acceptance. You will probably know by late January, at the latest.</p>
<p>kcirsch....when you say "late January"....would that be for students in top 10% only or both?..</p>
<p>I was top 10% but probably both...I know ppl who are OOS who are already in.</p>
<p>depends on what college you applied to. I applied 10/31 to college of communication and found out in the first week of november. I still haven't found out about the two honors programs in the college of liberal arts.</p>
<p>I applied OOS to College Of Natural Sciences.</p>
<p>I'm OOS to COLA. My application was complete by mid-October (ACT, SAT scores sent, actual application filed September). I also applied to the Summer Freshman Class, which means I would be moving to Austin in June. I don't want to wait until April for a decision. . . .</p>
<p>what does OOS and COLA stand for?? : )</p>
<p>Out of state and College of Liberal Arts</p>
<p>go read that guy who was OOS and got accepted in 24 hours...</p>
<p>Haha, I'm a girl, and I'm in-state.
UT sends out acceptance letters to top 10% people as soon as they've received and processed the entire application.
As for non top 10% people, like myself, they look for stand-outs: i.e. high test scores combined with high ranks, then wait for a completed application to admit you. So I talk to an admissions person on the phone, and it's pretty much unheard of to get accepted within 24 hrs like I did, but it makes sense. They basically had already picked me, waited for my essays, read them on Dec 1 (they said they did...) and posted my acceptance that night.
They said, basically, that if you dont get accepted about 2 weeks after your entire application is complete, then you will have to wait until March when all of the acceptance letters go out.
I have yet to meet anyone else who is not in the top 10% but was accepted before March. They said it's not uncommon because they want us to have priority in housing.</p>
<p>Cocky ----^</p>
<p>sorry, didn't mean to sound cocky.</p>
