I am guessing it means admitted, as students already accepted are showing Smokey Dog as their counselor too.
Same! We have one random upload as well and no idea what it is or where it came from.
OOS admission last year was 33% and that doesnāt parse out admission rates for more popular degrees like business or engineering. They have guaranteed instate admission for top 10% of class, yet this year we saw many wonderful instate candidates get deferred. My guess is TN isnāt offering more scholarships because they donāt have to. Seems many want to go to UTK for other reasons besides merit. I am happy to see the applicant pool stats being raised as that will only strengthen the programs.
Deferred earlier
NOT YET updated SRAR
NO Smokey Dog, Same Counselor as before, Amanda Wolk for Virginia
DID have admitted major earlier this week
Could it be program based? My guess is that random upload is a positive sign since you have a high-stat kid.
where do you see the random upload??? what is the date on the upload???
Seems portal is all over the place. No consistency to figure it out.

Miscellaneous 1/19/2024
Itās listed as āMiscellaneousā and uploaded today 1/19/24 in the application portal under āMaterials Receivedā portion. Also uploaded today was the mid-year report (transcript with senior grades) sent through Common App. Common App does not show any additional reports or items were uploaded for any college to download, so very confused what this āMiscellaneousā item could beā¦
We updated SRAR with semester 7 grades. We did not have admitted major listed. Who knows whatās going on. I guess we all shall see.
Did your school upload the Mid-Year Report in Common App too? Wondering if the āMiscellaneousā item is connected to that item.
This is what happens when you give a dog access to your admissions system 
This has been a hot mess all along lol
The other upload is the updated HS transcript so that seems like a commonality.

For folks already admitted, do you all have Smokey Dog listed as your counselor. Please reply and help us deferred folks out! 
Many people replied above they did.

I asked this question, and they replied yes, their portal reflects Smokey Dog. They were accepted in Dec.

If this is the big give away that student got accepted, then this is hilarious they would put something so obvious. I guess not as obvious as the celebration wallpaper though.
Does anyone have this filled in on the GPA tab? I read last year that this filled in for admitted folks but could have been the day decisions released.
