<p>ok on the utdirect website, it says i got rejected (general). however, i applied for the bschool (which to my knowledge, is highly competitive). I’m just wondering if the rejection is for the whole school or just the business school. i think i should be able to get in the regular school with some ease, so this letter was a big disappointment.</p>
<p>please respond quickly!! thanks!</p>
<p>it depends on whether or not you live in Texas. If you don’t, you were rejected from the whole school. if you apply to one college and they reject you they’re not going to consider you for a different one unless you’re a Texas resident and are in the top 10 percent.</p>
<p>I’m out of state and I got kicked out too;; oh well.</p>
<p>After careful review of applications from a highly-competitive pool of applicants, the Admissions Committee at UT Austin is not able to offer you admission at this time. Approximately three times as many students apply each year as we are able to enroll.</p>
<p>Well, you’d have had to be in in the first place to be kicked out.</p>
<p>i got rejected too, but I got into Emory so i really dont care</p>
<p>kenneth2005: you would have to tell us exactly what it said online for us to tell you. rejections from different schools are worded differently.If it says this, you were rejected from the whole university:</p>
<p>“After careful review of applications from a highly-competitive pool of applicants, the Admissions Committee at UT Austin is not able to offer you admission at this time. Approximately three times as many students apply each year as we are able to enroll.”</p>
<p>rejected, CA resident</p>

<p>This isn’t true. I’m an OOS that applied to McCombs and was rejected from there but accepted into my second choice at Jackson.</p>
<p>Edit: “Congratulations! You have been admitted to your second-choice major in the Jackson School Of Geosciences ( Undeclared ) at UT Austin. Some majors at the university are highly competitive. As a result, some highly-qualified students aren’t admitted to their first-choice major. Some of our best applicants are admitted to their second-choice major simply because their first choice doesn’t have enough space for all the students who applied.”</p>
<p>i was “admitted” into the Summer Freshman Class today…which is the same as a rejection for me</p>
<p>lol, I suggest anyone that got accepted for summer session to take it. It is actually better than getting a regular admission. Summer’s are fun with rush parties and such, plus you get to know people and the city before everyone else.</p>
<p>funny i got into rice and rejected from UT austin… ***… feel dirty</p>
<p>^ Yeah exactly… I got in University of Southern California(27% accepted rate) yet I got rejected from UT Austin (51%) Well I suppose one’s private and one’s public so it does make a difference… And hookemhorns, you are right. LOL</p>
<p>The hell? Rice owns UT in terms of prestige. This stupid 10% law is freaking out of control.</p>
<p>Shoot - My kid would have happily accepted summer admission over CAP!</p>
<p>The 10% law is difficult to swallow.</p>
<p>Yeah the 10% rule is really debatable. On one hand you have kids who have stellar GPA’s but since they go to a very competitive school, they get CAP’ed. Then there are those kids who go to “dumb” schools that have bad GPA’s but are somehow still in top 10%. I think that instead of top 10%…it should be based on a certain GPA…like having to have a 3.7 in order to have automatic acceptance.</p>
<p>Why not just review everyone holistically like every other freaking school does?</p>
<p>Because they wanted to be special and **** everybody off. AW</p>
<p>Its the texas state legislature thats being d-bags, not UT themselves.</p>
<p>This law will have to change soon because there will be too many top 10%ers wanting to go to UT and they won’t be able to fit all of them. The law is really hurting UT’s reputation as well…</p>
<p>If he had been accepted into his second choice school he wouldn’t have posted on here?</p>
