My understanding per the counselor email is - 5000 admits being 25-30% of all “Total Eventual Admits”. Meaning they will eventually admit 16K-20K students. I dont think it means they only reviewed 25-30% of the applications. It also aligns with 2023 past data set where UT offerred admission to 19K students and 9.2K enrolled. As far as how many apps they actually reviewed is only left to speculation.

I would think its an error too because if your application is still in review how can your honors app can be ineligible? doesn’t make sense to me. They can’t have an academic year just with 30% students, hang in there guys, there will be lot more acceptances

take admission office’s words then, heard UT CS is top 10…
That’s a dated article. Did you look at the screenshot I posted?

I would think those 2 line together, be 25-30% for 5000 or for the number of apps read.
several kids in my kid’s school at top 25% got in to Ece and other majors, where as Val, sal and top 6% kids didnt get in yesterday, so really confused, whether UT is more selective or liberal, think its the latter.

any info on how many seats for Data Science major ?
liberal is a nice word.
It appears that many apps have not been read.
But for the same school, don’t they have any simple algorithm to get all apps out before making a decision? So much said on how you compete with students from your own high school.
for now, just think 30 -60% filled
Based on how things have worked in the past, let me look into my crystal ball and tell you what is getting ready to happen.
UT Austin has told everyone that they will have a decision by 2/15. They will release some decisions before that date. However, everyone will have a decision by 2/15.
Still, when some decisions are released before 2/15, people will post in this thread (and elsewhere online) that UT Austin is unethical and incompetent because they still haven’t received their decision yet.

If you don’t think that what has transpired here is not both
A) not what was originally intended and planned
And
B) poorly communicated and addressed
Then I don’t know what to tell you
This is quite obviously a deviation from the original decision release plan.

The decision release plan said people would either receive a final admission decision or a deferral to 2/15. As far as I know, that is all that happened.
Obviously, you must have many examples of applicants who met the early action deadline and who did not receive either a final admission decision or a deferral until 2/15, or you wouldn’t have made your post. I look forward to you posting actual evidence (not just your feelings, theories or opinions) of these specific applicants.

My kid got 40 acres invite last Thursday to submit by jan 13th. So the reviewed her application and decided to send 40 acres invite and not give her admission? or 40 acres review is totally different from the regular app review. Confused on what to expect, seems deferred is a rejection. UT messed up big time.
Looks like they went and changed it, dont think they had this before ?

Honors application status back to “in-review” from “ineligible”.

The only inference with regards to the application count is the total of 91K in that message. There is no other reference whatsoever to the number of applications actually read. But if you understand it that way, Thats fine. I only wish good luck to all waiting and hope for decisions sooner than later. They are still going to admit aprox 15K more within the next month.

Decision release date is January 15.
Decision types are either admit, deferral, denial, or alternate pathways.
So I’m to believe that after reviewing every application they decided that no one should be denied and everyone else deferred?
more drama, UT is making life more exiting.
It has always said this. We knew from the beginning before my son applied in October that he might not get his decision on Jan 15. We didn’t think so many students would be deferred but we thought he might because he’s closer to top 10% than top 6%.
