In review! English major 
anyone know how long it usually takes between in review and decision?
Threads for prior spring transfer years suggest about four to five weeks between “in review” and acceptance notices going out. Seems a significant number of applicants heard something about 10 days to a week before Thanksgiving. Decisions continued to trickle down after that, all the way to second week of January for applicants who sent in Fall semester grades for consideration.
Someone over on the reddit discord admissions thread posted they were just accepted as an auto admit. Makes sense that the auto admit applicants would get first dibs. That’s why the Spring transfer is so unpredictable (in good and bad ways), because they only admit applicants to fill available spaces.
@BenDubbed Are acceptances coming out first or do decisions (including rejections) just come out all at once?
Difficult to tell from the prior year threads, but it did seem as if there were a lot of acceptances at first with only a few rejections thrown in. But that could be the result of reporting bias, as rejected lurkers might not want to post. But it was very clear that acceptances (rejections, too) continued all the way to the bitter end as new or more spaces opened up closer to start of the spring semester. Some of the eleventh-hour acceptances went to applicants with GPAs in the 3.4–3.6 range.
@BenDubbed So for acceptances that went out first, do we know if they went out to applicants that had higher GPAs in the 3.8-4.0 range?
That’s how it appeared on the forums. There were also a few rejection notices that went out for that GPA level, too. There’s probably some super-secret highly complicated algorithms involved that put FICO score calculations to shame. But because spring transfer admissions are governed by available space, one could have a 4.0 and still not get in if there’s no space available in the desired area.
@BenDubbed What major was the person who was accepted auto admit?
Does appealing actually help if you were to hypothetically get rejected with a 3.8-4.0? I keep mentally preparing for the worst because I know transfer admissions have been getting extremely competitively. I ended up submitting my application without any rec letters because I’m currently a freshman and there aren’t any professors that know me well enough to write me a rec that doesn’t come across as generic. I did find a professor who is a UT alumni that said she’ll write me a rec for my appeal letter if it came down to that.
Currently in review for COLA – applying for English as 1st choice and Rhetoric and Writing under 2nd!
I run daily audits and nothing? Any reason why? All transcripts sent in a month ago. Does it only populate is accepted?
Im in review, and did not submit everything till a few days before the deadline
yes! I applied to rhetoric and writing. Currently in review!
holtym – the poster didn’t specify, sorry.
Baisway – Ah, a fellow R & W major! Here’s to both of us making the cut!
Utex2020-- Last year’s spring transfer group tested that theory and it didn’t hold. No correlation.
Should we anticipate getting our decisions before Thanksgiving? This is excluding those who still need to submit their fall 2019 transcripts and will probably hear back in January.
what could make you an auto admit for a transfer application?
Last year, a huge wave of decisions went out before Thanksgiving. Some decisions went out before that, many went out after, but there was a definite bump about a week before T-Day.
@120115 from what I read on the UT site you had to qualify as an auto amitt in high school, gained the minimum amount of credit hours or higher at a community or other college and there was something else
I 'm just coming to conclusions that I won’t hear anything until the holidays, Christmas miracle anyone
