By my rough calculation OOS acceptance for fall 2025 ~7%. (approx 2500 admits out of 35000 applicants)
Also tuition covered for incomes<100k versus previous $65k. Free tuition is attractive.

If there is a release today, what time does it normally happen?
Are you an autoadmit? As an auto admit my son could see some of this stuff since October. The new stuff, to him is the assigned advisor.
Autoadmit, applying to McCombs. Has been accepted to UT, just waiting to hear on McCombs. Did this in 2021 with DD who is currently a senior at McCombs. Wondering/hoping we will find out before 1/15. 
where did you get that 2500 number? That seems higher than I’d heard before
Used the number from the last cds. They might admit slightly more as they have added some new majors this year.
That might explain the +12% in-state increase. The OOS (+48%) do not qualify for free tuition as far as I know.
DS last year was autoadmit. Applied Priority. He was notified of McCombs on 2/1. He was notified on Canfield Business Honors on 2/14.
Yes you’re right tuition change only applies to in state. I think Texas law requires 90% of admits must be in state students so the increase in OOS applications shouldn’t affect the in state admit rate. The OOS admit percentage will just decrease.
Has anyone heard of any new potential waves coming up?
UT has been super clear that there won’t be waves this year.

That’s disappointing. I hadn’t seen that. Where did you read that? Thanks.
That’s not reflected in the CDS (from sfogoone). The out-of-state freshman admit ratio is higher than 10% of freshman applicants (2.4k out-of-state freshman admits out of 19.2k total freshman admits).
(But your larger point is correct – likely in-state freshman admits aren’t affected by the increase in out-of-state applicants.)
Besides the email that says “Decisions on 1/15” I was specifically told that in an admissions session at Texas Preview day.

I thought it was decisions BY 1/15 but that’s just semantics

Dear Alex,
Great work submitting your application to be a Longhorn! So, what’s next? Review the following information to make sure your application is complete and to apply for additional scholarship, financial aid, housing and honors opportunities.
Important Dates
December 11
- Regular deadline for optional and required supplemental materials
January 15
- Early Action decision notification
- Scholarship Interest Form deadline
February 15
- Regular deadline decision notification
- FAFSA /TASFA Priority Deadline
If you search the reddit forums and past years of college confidential, you will find many instances of people being told by admissions that decisions would be out on 2/1 (the old priority date) and “no waves” coming but then went and did put out waves (multiple) every year for last 5 years. So the only way we will know for sure is go thru the next 37 days and find out. As for us, we just keep checking that portal everyday around 5-7pm.

Yes this is not our first go-round with this school. I’m just saying the vibe I get from admissions is way different than it was last year, because of the new Early Acceptance and waitlist thing.

Do most of you still have the “Change My Majors” button active? Is that another indication that no wave is imminent and Jan 15 is more likely?
