They often post on Twitter also. There is a Twitter handle for UT Austin admissions. I didnāt see anything there today. I did see the Instagram story.

Not to be a hopeless romantic (lol) when it comes to UT and Iām pretty sure the admissions Instagram doesnāt really know when admissions will be released but they posted something today with the caption āBaby Bevo sending warm and cozy vibes to all students waiting their admissions decisionsā so at least they acknowledge we are waiting but the āvibesā they are sending are not doing much

They may be trying to calm everyone down. Perhaps they are getting lots of phone calls.

Please keep the discussion focused on UT. California public universities and their policies are off-topic for this thread.

Hate to bust your bubble on this theory but my twin and I both got into Ivyās recently AND UT in Nov/Dec. so I really donāt think they are flagging people that they think will get into an ivy and the not accepting them yet. My twin heard back from UT FAST and with honors because his stats are so amazing. However, if it makes you feel better, my friend hasnāt heard back from UT and heās auto-admit and amazing statsā¦Iām sure he will eventually get in though. I think it just depends on oneās major. Hope everyone hears something soon!

Does UT ever admit regular decision applicants (not priority) before the Feb 1 deadline? Or do they only admit priority students before Feb 1? 'm asking because my in-state, non auto admit kiddo applied RD but we are hoping to not wait until March 1ā¦

Wow! Congrats to you both on getting into Ivyās ED/REA! Looks likes no UT for yāall even with hearing back early!
Congrats on the Ivy admission! It seems most in the Nov/Dec round had high stats. My S falls into that bunch but his major is CS which is competitive. Most CS admits Iāve seen, assuming they are being honest, can get into Ivy schools. Perhaps UT made an effort to admit them before Ivy decisions come out, but it also gives them a view on how many other admits they can have if that group drops out. Second half of Jan will be interesting. My S has applied to Ivys in RD as well.
According to the Tex Admissions guyās blog, normally everyone hears back by Feb 1 regardless of when they applied with the exception of international students.

Is there going to be an admission wave tonight?
Someone went extra distance on Reddit with fake screenshot and all. Not sure they realize the impact such bad taste rumors have on mental health of students.

There is really no way of knowing at this point. I do follow Jay Hartzellās Twitter account. He posted a video of himself signing notes to future students just before the last wave. He hasnāt posted anything admissions related lately.

On the good side, UTDās rank is moving up faster. We definitely need more schools and better schools.

It also depends on what other schools are on the table, right?
If RD for OOS also gets decision by Feb 1?
Assuming past history holds true, yes. Seems this year is different regardless of in state or OOS.
