University of Tennessee Early Action for Fall 2024 Admission

Another change this morning.
For a few days now I have been getting blank major on the email.
This morning I got a blank and a few hours i tried again and it had changed to Univ Exploratory Track which basically is “Student needs to transition to their major after enrolling in a few semesters using advise from the college they plan to attend”
Fingers crossed!
We are getting close to decision time.

Thanks

Sorry if this question is redundant, but hypothetically, if you are able to schedule the admitted student tour but the email has no major, you are either under review or waitlisted? And if you have been denied, you can not schedule an admitted student tour?

That’s what i got as a response from my source
Again like folks have been saying this is not verified info

Thats awesome! So you tried the “admitted student tour” hack yesterday and there was no major in the email but you tried again today and have one?

My guess they are entering decisions.
I would like to hear from somebody who has not been able to sign up for the admitted students tour

a person who declined the offer they received in EA tried but could not get in.

Agreed on declining offer, however, many like my daughter may also be waiting on merit scholarship decisions. We can’t fully evaluate UTK offer until we find out about those.

Agreed, I know my kids got admitted to 7 colleges they did not plan to attend and i forced them to decline offer so as to open up the spot for somebody else. There will be cases like ours where we still have schools they have been admitted to but have not yet declined or accepted because we are waiting for aid, scholarship or other info.
It would be based one one’s personal college choices and if they are waiting on other info to make their decision.

I meant an individual who is still waiting on a decision but is unable to sign up for an Admitted Tour email.

Correct

Did you try again right now?
They seem to be entering decisions as of this morning.

Just have to say between this, the Clemson thread, and the deferred clemson/usc thread this is wildly entertaining, if nothing else.

But remember it is a nightmare for parents whose kids are in the midst of this “I would describe the whole admissions process a fiasco”.
I know because when my first daughter got accepted and second got deferred the same day , my entire family had a nightmare of a time for 2 days trying to console the one who was deferred.
This might be entertaining for a lot of people but for the parents of kids trying to get into their dream schools it definitely is not

Please don’t misunderstand what I’m saying. I’m in the same boat as you, although that sounds horrible dealing with that for twins. I only meant the portal astrology stuff and the backdoor registration stuff is really funny and helps me at least deal with the stress.

Agreed This is a good place for all of us to share the trials and tribulations of the process.

But with UTK for freshman, isn’t the merit all spelled out ….like don’t you know what your daughter will get assuming she gets in? obviously, if she doesn’t get in she’s not getting anything, but their merit money seems to be pretty standard

For the standard one based on gpa/test score, yes she got I think $13k per year (we are oos) but the other merit scholarships haven’t been announced yet (like chancellors scholarships).

Just wanted to update - earlier I had nothing listed in the email, but after signing up for the tour a second time I have my first choice major listed
