I toured it back in February when I applied the first time and I had a student show me around too for about 20 minutes and didn't meet any faculty either! I don't think it hurt me at all. You can always send a follow-up email to the Callier Center and cc Dr. Stillman thanking them for the tour to show how interested you are!

Thanks! I didn't change anything with my application. I applied 3 days before the deadline back in February without realizing they did rolling admissions So after emailing back and forth with Dr. Stillman he assured me my stats weren't the issue (GPA 3.91, GRE V-157, Q-152, W-4.5), it was just that they filled all the spots before they reached my application since it was submitted so late. I never got an official denial but he basically told me the spots were filled so I went ahead and deferred my application to this round back in June. I think talking with him several times showed him how interested I was and getting my application in way earlier this time must have helped too! Also, my acceptance letter stated that there's no deadline to accept your offer of admissions, so there's probably some people out there who have received an offer but haven't acted on it yet. Hopefully some of those will pass on their offer and accept elsewhere! I also emailed Dr. Stillman some questions recently and he said he's out of the office until the 20th and will be sending out some more information to those of us accepted after that, so I wouldn't worry about not hearing back just yet! I've heard of some people getting accepted as late as the end of November, so sadly I think it's just a waiting game I've been there, try not to stress too much! It's still early in the process!

I accepted my admissions offer too and was wondering about scholarships/financial aid. Did you apply for scholarships in a separate application? I checked the boxes in my original application for graduate assistantships but didn't see anything about scholarships and haven't heard anything about either!

Mine is still under review as well so I emailed Dr. Stillman last week to ask about when we would hear back and he said definitely in the next two weeks. He said there were about 700 applicants and only so many spots available, so they're waiting to hear back from those already offered admission. I took that as all (or most) spots have been given but haven't all been officially accepted Hopefully there's a lot of people who are planning to accept elsewhere and just haven't told UT Dallas yet! I know people who have been rejected recently so I have hope that for those of us who are still "under review" there is a chance we are being waitlisted!
