congratulations, what major?
bio
I submitted my application on time but I was hoping to get a fee waiver, I waited for a month, then I emailed them again and they replied that they don't provide any. I paid the fees in January and now my status says, "Your application was not complete by the deadline." Was my application even considered?
probably not ):
although they donāt provide fee waivers to international applicants and they make it quite clear on their website
my lyf is sed š¦
yeah they did but I thought the common app fee waiver would work... it didn't... RIP my luck
mine said that bc of some issues but i submitted an appeal and they approved it!
They denied my appeal
I emailed them and they didn't gave a clear answer
what did they say
I wrote: "I am an RD applicant who submitted the application before the deadline. I paid the application fees late; thus, my status shows "Your application was not complete by the deadline." Does this mean that my application was not considered? When should I expect to hear back?"
They replied: "You would need to check your status check page regarding your admissions status."
my status does says complete though
I am literally in the exact same boat
i feel you! the decisions should have been out by now though... feb-end ended š¦
any news on fin aid?
would decisions come out tdy?
Itās til March 15
I updated my FAFSA and got sent a message from UT finance so I thought they sent me fin aid but it was just an update š¬ ofc UT isnāt going to send us stuff until March 14 11:59
They should have
They did mention in their FAQs that "you will be notified of a decision no later than March 1, 2023." We gotta probably have to wait out this day too ig...
their deadline is just a guess
it's like "we might release fin aid info on march 15 but who knows"
UT austin decisions out yet?
not yet :'((
They came out around 6 pm central for the first round
where do we find it
ched
Did anybody else just get an email about LEAD Texas?
i got an email about jefferson scholars
if it doesnāt come out at 6 pm iām giving up š
Was UTA sending any emails like UCs do?
My friends didn't receive any and kinda scared
I mean not decisions, but promotionals
are you gonna do it
i got it too
there was 1 for MLK day, but idk if it had any implications on admission
its just a study abroad program so prolly not
exactly
even my decision ain't out yet
is the jefferson scholarship specific to a major or no
cuz judging from the description it doesn't really correlate to my major at all
nvm im blin
d
idk it's still kinda weird
they do send out promotional emails
from time to time
does anyone else get "Authentication failed. Please refer to the links below" when trying to get into their ut account
enable duo authenticator!
when did people get their UT letters? I received mine in mid February and thought it was kinda early. Iām OOS RD.
I received it same time
has anyone gotten their housing contract yet
in a meeting about it rnāyou can only receive a housing contract after you commit
finaid packages come out late March (some before, maybe) if youāve submitted all of your docs
oh i see thanks
someone IK committed and has hers, though
does it matter when i commit tho
does anyone know how to do a successful appeal?
yes pls
You do?
its not a scholarship
its very misleading
its sent to everyone ur academic record didnt cause it
and it gives u like a ceritifcae in core texts i heard its p useless but idk
if i google it and see reddit posts everything is pretty meh š
oh bruh
i dont think any appeals are successful
unless they messed up
Do they look at mid year
just got my finaid
i got the notary doc bs and havent even met reqs to get my fin aid yet
r they out?
idk mine is
samee
how do u know u got that
Anyone have a link to the 27 discord
check your application portal
it should show up right underneath the "welcome to your major" text
: (
appeals do happen, just not often
2 of my friends in the class above me successfully appealed last yr
is that in the fin aid tab?
Its just under the "congrats, welcome to your major" message in the admissions tab
like less than 1%
me waiting for my ut appeal
i dont think you should expect anything from it unless its a huge fuck up
lmao yeah im not expecting much
but i did appeal for a different major which was my second choice which might help.
also when i initially applied to UT and changed my major, it didnt tell me i had supplementals for the major i changed it to, and i seen it after the deadline and they told me to appeal
but i applied for something i have experience in and attached a few supporting documents and an LOR from an executive at my job
Anybody else get this?
no
i got this buut i cant go
my school has a ut rep and we had a meeting today but they canceled due to sickness :(( i was so excited
Me neither. UIL district moment ig lol
THAT WHY ICANT GO
What events are you doing?
That would be me lol
I bet you don't have to drive two hours to get to your testing center
We'll have to get up pretty early
we r driving about an hour
Which classification are you guys?
5A
You wanna dm?

hi i wanna call the admissions office to know what i can do exactly as an international student for the appeal and stuff. can someone pls tell whom to call to reach my regional admissions officer? iām from india
Use the appeal form
iāve tried but for some reason it says my application is not permitted to fill the form
maybe cuz international
same lol
thank u ut for giving me NOTHINGGGG
my efc is 19k and i didnt get anything what abt yall
is there any way u can appeal ur decision
An applicant for admission should submit an appeal only if there is new, significant and/or compelling information that was not previously provided at the point of application; disagreement with an applicantās admissions decision, alone, is not a valid reason for submitting an appeal.
damn
did anyone else get a postcard from their AO?! š„¹
no what
I wish I didnāt want to escape Abb*tt so bad I love UT sm
Iām having trouble not doxxing myself
Smh lucky. I didnāt get that as an ooser
When did u get that
Literally yesterday
Cool!
is it worth to appeal?
like what should u have that makes it worth it
and also if u appeal do they require grade update w mid yrs
when did u get this lol. didnt get anything as a cs admit
yesterday as I said two messages ago
oh oops lmao didnt see that
all good š¤
not sure, what'd be the reason to appeal the decision? are the appeals successful at all?
did the appeal work, i.e. did the college change your major from first choice major to your second choice major? what was your first/second choice major?
I need roommate
wait major
I would love to room with Ninja
Can you pay my tuition and board with ur fort night money
dorm? major? bedtime? height? weight? bedsheet color? MBTI personality? average snore decibel volume and frequency? IQ? shoe size? music taste? hours on League of Legends? policy on keeping a baby monkey in the dorm?
i had the same question
wsg butters
and no u cant get rescinded from UT unless you committed a crime

When do merit scholarships come out
They technically already did
March 15
i read somewhere they will release it late march/early april
unless u had delayed documents like i did so i aint got anything yet š
i only got a departmental scholarship back in february
was wondering if i would get extra $
yeah
i think
i did that general texas exes app and entinering freshman app a while ago
Which jester
West
wait i thought texas exes scholarships were included in the fin aid package no?
they do texas exes independently so i dont think it would show up on the uni financial aid
and texas exes includes all the scholarships on their website right
dorm?
Yes

ACCEPTED
congratulations! This is through successful appeal?
correctt
cool
very
that shows appeals can work too š
not yet - decision making is just starting š
Why canāt they just accept you to regular CS?
no one really knows why ATP exists
You canāt request it. You go into ut undeclared cns ur first year, and you get the exact same classes as a cs major. If you pass all of ur classes, you get guaranteed cs major soph year
Making me work for it š
Which is fine
I think getting a C is pretty possible
Yeah, they said in the info session that only like a couple ppl have not gotten the cs major soph year
C- actually is passing 
Not really, that's just orientation
so excited for it
they have admitted student tours
i went on one and they talked about the important stuff like dining, dorming, etc snd showed the inside of a bunch of buildings
how do we sign up for these tours
looks like all of them are full.. but if one opens up, go to
https://bealonghorn.admissions.utexas.edu/portal/campus_walking_tour
and under the calendar itll show u which time is prospective students and which time is admitted students
Is anyone here an econ major
poli sci econ double major
Oof
did anyone get an accepted appeal
Beautiful campus
what're the first-year groups at UT Austin? are they anything special?
idk lol I got that email as well
that is not correct. you cannot take computer science classes as an undeclared student. there's only one cs class that non cs majors can take at ut austin.
I assume just a little cohort to make you feel more comfortable
as cns undeclared student interested in cs, you take regular math/science/etc classes in first year, and then you apply in 2nd semester, to cs, and if they have enough spots, they'll change your major to cs, and then you can start taking cs classes in 2nd year. so it's not guaranteed and you can't take cs classes in first year.
I'm in the program, I know what it is. I am garunteed to be able to take intro to programming, discrete math, and data structures. Then i get cs major soph year. Look up what ATP is
Yes, it is guaranteed.
ah cool.. i didn't know about ATP.. did you have to apply specifically for ATP or do all undeclared students have access to ATP?
If you apply CS u have a chance of getting it. No one really knows why some ppl get it and some others dont
You don't apply to it
ah i see. is this program offered to only in-state students or out-of-state too?
so dumb that ATP exists lmao
why lol
Just admit them to regular cs
^
ig they're banking on people dropping out in the first year
They said in the info session that like barely any people have failed out of atp, so I doubt thatās the reason
no i mean they're banking on people dropping out of cs
does UT Austin offer both merit and need based aid to international students?
yeah
not sure ab need but merit yes
