40 Acres Scholars Program at UT Austin for class of 2024

Has anyone received any updates about finalist selections?

@chicagobears The emails said they would notify today, February 5. In the past that has been late afternoon or early evening central time.

Thanks @Jennibc Good luck to everyone.

Holding my breath!!!

Have the finalists for the 40 acres been notified??

Nothing here.

Nothing either

Haven’t received anything yet

If they only send notifications to the finalists, there is no guarantee that anyone in this thread would get one, considering that they weed out 2/3 (going from 190 down to 50-60). It’s 6:30 in the evening already. I guess it was fun while we were in the race to the finalist stage. My C is looking at the bright side, " Well, I won’t have to miss another school day and deal with missed work!"

If anyone heard back please let me know!!

Crickets… I think it’s unlikely that not one of us has made it through.

I know !

So anyone got anything yet?

Nothing on reddit either. Somebody there thinks they made a typo because it came out on Feb 15th last year.

Oh ok dang cuz I’ve been on edge all day but it seems pretty late to send now…

Nothing here. Are you sure finalists came out on the 15th last year? Texas Exes announced the finalists on their website on the 13th last year so I don’t think that’s right…

Last year, the finalist notifications came out on 2/4.

Just quoting somebody on Reddit. I haven’t done any research myself.

I saw a post last year. Someone got notified at 5:30pm on 2/4.

Yea, I saw that too. It’s just interesting how none of us have received an email yet.
