UT Austin class of 2026 admissions

Nothing here. RTF oos

Some autos on reddit said that they got assigned to a random major? Not sure if that’s a thing or not

Well, except some would consider a second choice major better than general COLA, which is what ends up happening to a lot of AA. And that can be frustrating because they take spots that non-Auto applicants actually want.

Yes if they don’t get into either first or second choice.

I know right?! It is not fair they take up spots when they don’t want the major.

I don’t think OOS are coming out today. I would not expect a decision yet. My kiddo is OOS as well. I think this thread is the most stressful thread of all the college threads. A set date is easier than the waves. Whatever the decision is for any and all of you, know that you are more than just the stats on a paper for college admission. Also know that sometimes the things one wants most aren’t meant to be. If you don’t get into UT you may find yourself happier than you could have ever imagined at another university. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU ALL!

I’m so scared my friend with insane stats just got rejected from McCombs. I’m still waiting. We had super similar stats. Do you all think autos with no decision will hear back today?

Honestly not sure. Do you know if UT has a history of rolling out decisions over a couple of hours, or if it’s all at once?

couple of hours I’m sure of it because last time my friend got McCombs at 7

someone on Reddit just got into cs!

I think the notification email goes out 2 hours after portal update. So your friend may have seen the email and then checked. So if you don’t hear pretty shortly I would assume you won’t until another wave.

Ok. Also, do you still have the bad data in RIS?

Unfortunately yes

I’m shocked that UT doesn’t factor in mental health of students and parents while rolling out decisions this way. Especially during a pandemic. There is no pattern or logic whatsoever.

Wonder if they’ll do a big wave like last year where they dump basically all OOS at once

Where did they explain that they couldn’t offer you a spot in the other two?

on the admission tab of mystatus

I’m sorry about your news. Hard to believe! I hope you’re into CS elsewhere if that is your preferred major.

Son got COLA, rejected for McCombs and Economics. High 1500’s SAT, top 2% auto, National Merit, strong extracurriculars (athletics and academics) and leadership positions. Even had an interview with BHP two weeks ago. We are all shocked!
