No, unfortunately UT doesnât superscore. On the paper, it just takes the test with the highest composite. I donât know, not sure whether the AO sees all your test scores, maybe
Strategy meeting to prepare for the onslaught of emails and calls.

It seems that they are planning to announce all decisions once for all on the 1st

When my son got in in '22, he found out on the last Thursday in January after randomly checking the portal. The next day, Friday, a group of friends was admitted and a group was rejected. All the same day. Donât believe everything you read online. Based on the above we know the Texas Admission Guy dates, for instance, are not 100% correct. Texas is a massive school. Applications nationwide are increasing, and there is a national admission officer shortage, particularly after the pandemic. Texas published âby Feb 1â. Just because they were ready a few days early in past years, does not mean it is guaranteed. Even smaller schools like TCU and SMU dates have been creeping up later and later. Hang in there!

Is it true that UT Austin always announces EA and RD results in the same wave in late Jan?
Of course it wonât be all rejections, otherwise they wouldnât have posted for folks to send them video of students opening their acceptances.

UT doesnât âalwaysâ do anything. lol We are in the same situation, auto-admit, top 2% literally perfect test scores, nmsfâŠECs etc. Iâm guessing admissions got a late start/had to readjust from past cycles because UT Austin was the only public school in Texas that was directly affected by the Supreme Court decision last summer.
*and still waiting on major decision, applied before 11/1.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how exactly was UT directly affected by the SC ruling?
Has anyone been offered their 2nd choice major if NON-auto from OOS? Thank you.
Not a dumb question at all. I wasnât aware either.
Kevin of Tex Admissions said yesterday on Reddit that it is rare for anyone to receive 2nd choice major. But my understanding is that non-auto does NOT get second choice at all. Again, only the messenger of what Iâve read.

Ironically, both UT and TAMU systems still have race in the factor even after the ruling. Both long use race as a factor so what Texas tribune said was not accurate or bias.
Their admit data speaks otherwise. TAMU even published race base scores median showing Asian with highest median, then white, then minorities.
The ruling doesnât allow a formal PI index to add race as a factor, but in holistic review, all UT and TAMU need to do is not documenting evidence of admission decision.
If both systems continue to publish racial base scoring data, it may invite court challenges.

Thanks for the additional insight and information. I havenât seen the TAMU data referenced (not that I have really looked for itâŠ) I have looked at what is available from UT here: [UT System Dashboard] (Applied, Admitted, and Enrolled) I am curious to see what this looks like for Fall 2024 enrollment in comparison. Also, for Common App this year, there was a âpointâ made - that demographic data (including race/ethnicity) would not be reported to the Universities due to the SC decision. If you have a link for TAMU, Iâd be curious to see the info you referenced.
I am wondering the same thing. My portal shows âRegular Decisionâ. So this wave is only for people applied before 11/1?
This is only for the priority people, everyone else will be by March 1.
