UT Austin Class of 2029 Official Thread

Just received the Housing contracts email..wondering of others have also got it and if it is coming only for committed applicants?

I got it too. My dad already signed contract and paid the $300.

We paid housing application fee back in October 5th and enrollment deposit on 2/7/25. Yes only if you accept the offer of admission will anyone get housing contract. That is pretty clear on UT housing portal.

and do we know what happens if we don’t accept the contract by deadline date or if we have an option to extend the deadline?

No idea. They will probably void the contract.

You can call them to verify and if at all they extend they will put you at end of line to get a new contract if you choose to attend UT

Looking to see if there were any UTNY acceptances in the past week of results?

Some students are able to finish the undergrad earlier. These usually try to either get a double major or join an MS program. Some colleges have a BS/MS program so if you get As in more than 75% of Major courses they get straight entry into the MS program (without applying or taking GRE etc).

Some do but most do not. It’s the gateway to an F-1 that turns into an H-1 and then a Green Card. Been doing technical recruiting for 30 years, that’s how it works. Certainly there are some that get scholarships or grants but not most. You also have great disparity in Undergrad for International just like you do in the US.

Waitlist admits won’t come till at least after the May 1st enrollment deadline.

My son was a UTNY admit in 2/7. RTF. He’s out of state.

Congratulations! Do CSB honors live together? Do they have priorities to select courses? Any benefits you know about the honors program?

Email said as a Texas CSB student, they will have the option to choose either an honors quad dorm or a non-honors dorm when contracts are released. And yes, they have priority in selecting courses(I believe all honors students do). CSB is a mix of canfield business honors and CS honors(not turing) together. Students get the best of both worlds. We are still drilling down the CSB honors to see how excatly the program works. You can take a look at this from current csb student perspective Reddit - The heart of the internet
