I just submitted my application last night (August 3), I rank 39/622 in my class so that means I’m in the top 7% so I am automatic. I also sent my transcripts and test scores that same day. When will I hear my decision?
You should hear that you are admitted by mid to late September but only that you have been admitted. Depending on the major you put as first choice you might hear something in late November on your major if your test scores were very high. Otherwise the majority of admits hear if they got their requested major the second half of February.
Depends on the major. I remember some business majors hearing back around mid November, if I’m not mistaken. You can always go back and read “Class of 2020 applicants” in CC. It will give you blow by blow of all the drama from last year. Plan II / LAH started coming out right around Thanksgiving. I think BHP was a week before that. You needed to be accepted with a major before you got Plan II / LAH / BHP.
Whoa, I didn’t know you could submit the application that early? What about teacher recommendations and first semester grades?
UT uses your class ranking at the end of your junior year. Last year I asked my recommenders to provide them by August 1 so I could apply when the application opened.
They only look at grades up to senior year, and you can upload recommendation of the document uploaded on MyStatus:)
Sorry I mean Junior year**
My daughter completed her application process on 8/3 as well. She had her essays written, rec letters received, etc. before the 8/1 opening of the application. We wanted to get everything done before her HS senior year starts so she could focus on her senior year. I can’t remember how long it took last year for her sister to get the news on auto admit status. Good luck to you! Don’t forget to complete the housing app if it applies to you and pay the $50 deposit as the date you pay the housing affects your ability to get a housing contract and your preferred dorm if accepted to UT.
October 2 was the date the auto admits I know, who submitted apps at various times in August received their auto acceptance notification on their my status. Those same kids found out their accepted major on the third Friday of February, which was the same day that people who were not auto admit found out if they were admitted or offered Pace, CAP, and/wait list. Not every one is offered all three options. Measure those offerings against your other acceptances at other schools and determine which program/school is the better fit.
