They’re supposed to hear by February 1 - like everything else!
This video is depressing. Someone drop some positive theories for non-AAs. PLEASE. And the fact that they released it yesterday (1/25) means that decisions are coming soon??

Decisions are coming soon if they released that video. Looks like they are committed admit incoming freshman who have a passion for their major. They want their students to graduate in 4 years. This opens spots for incoming classes.

Overall freshman apps are up 15.5% over the 57,241 last year.
Guessing that UT grows its entering class to 8700 (up from 8500 last year), it will target 870 OOS enrollees. If it has a 30% OOS yield (vs. 47% overall), that means there will be roughly 2900 offers out of 25000 apps, or an admit rate of 11.6%.
My daughter just checked her portal and it says she has been admitted to Plan II. She estimates that it was updated in the last 24 hours. (She hasn’t gotten an email from UT yet).

The admit rate for Texas students NOT in the top 6% isn’t much better - assuming a freshman class of 8700, there are only 1305 seats for that window (15% of total seats). And 29k applications - given a 30% yield, that means there will be 4,350 offers out of 29k applications, or an admit rate of 15%. It’s a crap shoot either way. Sigh.

I keep seeing news about record applications for all the schools my son applied to. Is this because previous year students took gap years or because individual students are applying to more schools. If the latter, does that mean yields will go down sharply?

I’ve seen it explained for a few reasons. One, universities have gone test-optional - so students with high grades and lots of ECs but who don’t test well would not have applied to many elite universities in the past. But this year it’s a different story.

yall just an fyi. according too Kevin Martin for Texadmissions . com " No student is ever denied their major or to UT overall early - those decisions go out all at once usually at the end of January."
On the second most recent update on his blog on Jan 15, no applicant had been officially rejected/capped yet. Last year all rejections went out on January 23. Obviously the timeline is shifted no because we’re all waiting to here back, but I think it’s fair to assume there will be a dump of decisions, good or bad, before the end of the business week.
I think it is both.
Students who would not normally apply to selective schools b/c of a lower SAT/ACT scores are not held back by a lower test score this year.

yup. test-optional is good for some and horrible for others.

Yes, I get 1960 non-AA enrollees and 870 OOS enrollees and 5870 AA in a hypothetical class of 8700. Using a rough yield of 52% for AA, 45% for non-AA and 30% for OOS to yield an overall 47%, the non-AA admit rate is just under 15%.
While it’s particularly tough on large well-funded suburban schools, is it much easier for the east Texas schools in the area where I grew up? I assume those students that are non-AA get in at very low rates and many more of the AAs don’t get their preferred major. I know someone “back home” who plans to go to JUCO to save money despite being in the top 5%. A very rough process that tries to be as fair as possible to Texas residents. It appears that we’ll see Top 5% AA in 2023 with this 15.5% increase in apps and just a potentially low single digit increase in seats.

Someone from my high school (OOS) got in to UT Austin’s College of Liberal Arts. I also applied to a liberal arts major, but I have not yet heard back. Is it super unlikely that UT Austin would accept two students from the same OOS high school? Or does this not mean anything.
UT accepted 18 students from my CT high school last year. Class of about 450
