Do they wait for all supplemental apps before changing auto admit status?
Have they notified auto admits before December in previous years?
S19 applied to Moody for RTF and also Plan II.
Good luck to your son. Hopefully we will both be hearing sooner rather than later.

Good luck to your son also!
Slightly unrelated topic. If anyone is applying as the valedictorian of a small class (our case), the auto admit rules are slightly different:
- 6% doesn’t apply to you (if it’s mathematically impossible). If you graduate with #1 rank, you qualify for auto admit.
- The notification process is separate from the regular (6%) auto admit because the small class policy is separate. Small class policy is institutionally regulated, the 6% auto admit policy is vetted by the THECB. Those auto admitted from a small class may not get a portal update til Dec, maybe even as late as Mar 1.
Got this information directly from the admissions office.
Feb 1, was very stressful. We must have 'refreshed' the screen a thousand times! She was accepted to her first choice in CNS.
Good luck to you both!
And thanks for the helpful info. I wasn’t sure if auto admits get notification of acceptance into the university or only after accepted into their major. Sounds like the former (university acceptance).
It seems like a forever wait!
Should I unpin the 2022 admissions thread?
S19’s app entered completed status on 9/21. Scholarship interest app submitted 9/22.
He has one question left (describe yourself in 5 sentences) on the TexesExes Scholarship app. I’m not sure he’s even started the Honors app.

@TXlove there is no rhyme or reason to UT's admission process if your child is not an auto admit. By her scores you posted, it seems like she has a pretty decent chance of admission to the university. Regardless, you should be very proud of her. It's obvious she's worked really hard and will be successful wherever she lands. Good luck to you and her!
