By the way I talked to admissions and decisions won’t be out until beginning-mid May lol

1503

Well, you are the first to have said that on the thread

1504

Now, this is ridiculous why they don’t act like Texas A&M? They are just doing it worse each year. Do they think that the UT is the only school we have applied? Honestly, I get more interested in A&M day to day. At least they respect their future students.

1505

Tamu hasn’t given out engineering decisions either. Tbh UT Dallas is looking good. Only because I’ve taken differential equations and calc 3 and tamu won’t take those or my programming classes.

It’s such a low blow to students who have 30 + hrs who have all pre reqs done to wait until may. Especially since we have to accept all the scholarships to other schools by May 1st. I’m really losing my mind hear guys. I can’t wait for this to be over so I can stop feeling so manic. This is the absolute worst.

1506

So if we have a pre req in progress we’re not going to hear back early?

1507

@BluePinkerton apparently early this year is mid-late may.

1508

@jumpo69 that’s not true about tamu. I got accepted to Electrical engineering 3 WEEKS AGO. A friend of mine got denied to MechE yesterday. Point is though UT is still taking ridiculously long.

1509

Has anyone else called Ut admissions today and asked?

1510

I applied for CECN cs track in early February and still haven’t heard back from tamu. There are a few cs guys on this thread waiting to hear back too.

1511

I think I’m gonna call admissions after I get out of my class at 1

1512

Ugh I just wish I could focus on something other than this. It’s really all consuming lol.

1513

So I just talked to admissions and his exact words were “sometime after the 1st of may”

1515

I’m over it. Peace out. See you guys on the flippity flop!

1516

So we’re losing hope for today? Don’t decisions usually get posted in the afternoon?

1517

Someone said They hadn’t heard may until now but that’s what they told me when I called a few weeks ago. Hope they’re wrong since fine arts heard.

1518

I called and it was inconclusive, they said some decisions will still be coming out, but more than likely from the beginning to the middle of may

1519

Wow they were really curt on the phone :-< . She said “historically” the decisions are usually mid May to June which just isn’t true. Historically it’s been students with the required hours got their decisions earlier than that. So honestly I don’t think the people answering the phones know what they’re talking about. She said it would be handeled on a case by case basis. I don’t think we have any way of knowing. Decisions could be released today or next week or later. Though I definitely hope it’ll be sometime in the next week. I feel like if college of fine arts got theirs we should get ours soon?? Especially in the less competitive majors?

1520

We should probably stop pestering them. They are probably feeling as bad as it is since decisions have not been sent out yet. We all just need to take a breather, take a break or go for a walk, and come back. It is really frustrating but we’re all humans and we make mistakes, even those in college admissions. Hopefully some will here back today, there’s still a chance.
