Hey, arguing over what u can’t control isn’t going to solve the problem. The best is to be patient and stay optimistic.

With 55 hours of college credit, did you consider applying as a transfer student instead of as a freshman?
@mitchellc16 Good luck to you and all the Priority Applicants anxiously awaiting their decisions between now and Monday. Hook’em!

Did you get a change? Because as far as I’m aware a change usually means you are in.

Oh, personally I haven’t seen a change
I know someone who works for admissions. Furthermore, Kevin Martin has several articles, resources and Youtube videos discussing this process. I’ll tittle them at the bottom becuase I can’t link on this blog.
But, contrarey to popular belief, UT admissions is not a round table where 10 people discuss your application. Your application gets sent to two random applicant readers. They don’t decide who or what application they read. UT sends it to them. These applicant readers are employed by UT. Obviously, they are educated people, I assume most if not all have a college degree. They live all over the country. I also know there is a YEARLY training every July/August which all readers attend virtually where the holistic review process is discussed and they are instructed on how to generally review an application. After a reader gets your application, your decision is essentially in their hands. After they read everything (where you’re from, socio-economic status, senior year classes, transcript, resume. essays, LOR, etc.) you receive a score between 1-6. To be very vague:
-
1 is an “absolutely no way”
-
6 is "this person needs to be at UT. “throw a scholarship at them. recruit them. they need to be here”
-
2-3 is anywhere from a rejection, to a CAP, or PACE. This kind of decision is made by the higher ups of UT Admissions. These are usually the people at the roundtable and work at the actual Admissions building at UT.
According to Kevin Martin from TexAdmissions, 3-4 is where most applicants land. A 3 and 4 could be the difference between you being CAPed/Paced/Rejected and getting accepted. These could be very competivie applicants but something in Student A’s application (higher SAT score, class rank, or postion in a club, just for example) over a few gramatical errors in Student B’s application puts them over the top. Again, this is mostly up to the applicant reviewer.
- 5-6 is pretty much an acceptance. These are applicants who meet or exceed admissions expectations and check all boxes for their intended major.
The only few scenarios I know it goes to a Roundtable is when there is a discrepency in the ranks. Most applicant readers give students about the same rank based on the guidlines they follow. Sometimes there could be one reader who thinks a student is 5 and another who think the student is a 2. This goes to roundtable where it’s discussed “Why is there such a gap and where should we actually rank this person.”
I’ll list a few sources if you would like to read more into it.
TexAdmissions: “The Personal Academic Index Part(s) 1-2)” “UT Austin AA Formuals”
Also, Kevin Martin, on his Youtube channel goes over what exactly Applicatns reviewers see when reviewing your applications and gives insight on how/why the applicant is ranked where they are. I’d reccomend watching one of his many application reviews.
I have a test at 7am tomorrow so I hope this helps.

Has any Out-of-State applicant received their decision?
No, I highly doubt they work at night.
I did not mentioned time. Could have been during day.

Anyone hearing anything yet?
Obviously you are resentful towards UT Admissions for whatever reason. Lashing out in this forum is not productive, and I don’t think is the reason for the thread. Congrats to those admitted. If you/yours were not, perhaps it’s time to move on and embrace other college choices. Also, if you prefer the way it’s done at Canadian universities, perhaps put your energy into attending a Canadian university.
