what major?

2948

psychology

2949

Kinsolving and Jester both have dining halls in the building so it makes it easy to get to meals. Looks like Kins is closer to the psychology building though.

2950

Do they fact check appeals?

2951

I got accepted into Mccombs as Business major. What housing dorm would be the best for location?

2952

Has anyone heard back from Engineering Honors?

We are still waiting for engineering honors and so do at least 5 kids in our high school. All still have ā€œdeferredā€ status in Honors portal.

Jester is right thereā€¦

2955

Waiting here too!

2956

OOS student here, my Honors tab must have been updated in the past day or two because it no longer says deferred. That being said, it also doesnā€™t say what I was hoping it wouldā€¦ So if yours isnā€™t updated yet Iā€™d take that as a good sign. Iā€™ll also note that I am yet to receive an email about my portal being updated so it was probably pretty recent.

2957

Thanks for the heads up! My sonā€™s just updated to denied. :pensive:

2958

Is your son public schooled?

2959

So sorry. Does that mean no merit scholarship? Do you know if there still could be other merit awards?

This is the same question I was wondering. The closest thing I could find was on a College Confidential thread from 2013. Idk where they got their information from and obviously things can change in 10 years, but itā€™s the only answer Iā€™ve been able to find.

ā€œI know this is a pretty old question but I might as well answer it:
ā€œDo you have to be picked for honors in order to receive a scholarship?ā€
No, but UT likes to reserve most of their scholarships for honors. They get first priority as far as I know, although I donā€™t quite know if this applies for freshman honors as well.ā€

Yes, top 2%, 1450 (780 math). Admitted to Chem E back in December. 5.64W/5.0 4.0UW/4.0

2964

Thanks :pray::pray::pray:

2965

Thank you, this is good information.

2966

My kid has a 35 ACT and 4.67W/4.0 UW with 54 DE credits and still rejected. Not sure what they are looking for. I read about another homeschooler being rejected, too, also an ECE major. I thought this was a relatively easy honors program to get into, so itā€™s like a gut shot.
