Hi there! I received my acceptance notification this morning. I applied on November 25, ten days after the priority deadline. I was stressing during the wait, too, but you should be hearing soon! When I emailed the director of admissions on Monday, I was told that applicants will be notified within the next 10-12 weeks. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard back this morning. Good luck!

Darn! It makes me feel a little better knowing there were only 20 travel awards available to social work, nursing and psychiatry applicants! Back to the drudgery of the wait...

I just received an email that I didn’t receive a travel grant to the integrated behavioral health recruitment fair. Best of luck to you!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and information! If you get an update from UT, I’d love to hear! I’ll be sure to do the same ?

Hi everyone! I only applied to the program at UT Austin. I currently live in AZ but would love to return to my home state to create understanding and change in polarized communities in the southwest. Has anyone else applied to UT after the priority deadline? I applied on Nov. 25 and missed it by 10 days—shoot! I feel good about my application but am nervous about missing the priority deadline. I have a 4.0 GPA, two years of international teaching experience and three years of social service and behavioral health professional work. I am also bilingual and bicultural. From my understanding of the review cycle, I will be in the second wave of applications, right? Does anyone know how funding is dealt? Do they wait until they receive your confirmation of acceptance or do they deal the green along with admission? Yesterday, I received an invitation to a recruitment event in February with a potential travel award. I’m hoping this is a good sign? I also saw that my application passed general admissions and is now with the social work committee. Would love to hear from anyone who also missed a priority deadline and/or applied to UT! Gracias ?
