UT needs to start manifesting those decisions already.

1943

Iā€™ll miss our little group here. Itā€™s been kind of like being stuck in space together, waiting on Mission Control to bring us home and feeling like they went on vacay or something. Once we are ā€œhomeā€, I guess weā€™ll just hug and wave goodbye, and say, ā€œThanks for all the memoriesā€? Awwwwā€¦Iā€™ll miss you guys! :two_hearts:

I am not impressed with my alma matter. My DD has such impressive offers and personal interactions with amazing schools. At this point, if DD is accepted, I question UT.

UT handles so many candidates and they never said decisions would come out today. Why are you so frustrated?

Itā€™s not so much the date, if they said for sure it would be tomorrow (2/1) at 5pm, we would be fine with that. Itā€™s just the lack of transparency they have in the decision release date and just the overall admissions process at UT.

I get that. UVA and UGA are great examples of schools that do a great job with transparency. UT could improve for sure!

Just wondering if anyone here knows, but will UT release any merit-based scholarships with acceptance? What about specific schools like Cockrell? Iā€™m an OOS applicant and I havenā€™t been able to find anything about when youā€™ll be notified about merit scholarships.

I am not sure when this is released, but donā€™t expect much. UT is known to be very stingy with merit aid. If you havenā€™t already, look into the Texas Exes scholarships.

anyone elseā€™s portal down?

1951

nope

1952

Wonder how they chose ā€œBy Feb 1ā€, rather than, no earlier than, or, ON Feb 1. Can we even assume it will happen by mid-night? They never specified time zone, soā€¦.

1953

Today is the day and by 5pm they will release the decision

1954

The source of 5PM? EST OR CST?

1955

I am curious why you feel this way. As long as Texas gives results today, they have kept their word.

Do you really expect a school the size of UT Austin to give white-glove, concierge-style treatment to every applicant?
