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! 

If it makes you feel any better - it has nothing to do with the admissions decision :).
 
UT will be announcing decisions in Jan, so just a few more weeks!

feel free to PM me if you ever have more or specific questions.

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 ?

Aweeeee snap! You have nothing to worry about, bilingual candidates and international social work and a multicultural background? You’re already a very diverse candidate!! I have 0 doubts in you getting in, as long as your LORs and SOP are spot in. But you already seem to have a clear understanding of what you want to do :).
 
I also got the same email! I signed up for the event ad well and requested travel funds - as I’m in chicago. Fingers crossed. However, I know they are looking for more black and Hispanic candidates to fly in based on the flyer. (Which I’m neither). 
 
From my experience and feedback so far - FASFA awards do not disburse until feb and schools do not award school scholarships (merit or need) until feb/March. Good luck! as far as missing priority deadline - I’m unsure if when you’ll hear back. I applied 11/7 and my app still says under review by committee.
 
Also - I haven’t received any green with my letters, but the schools i heard back from stated they do not send awards until March, after they get the majority of the acceptances back. But I’ve read for other  schools such as UC and NYU , BU and BC they offer funding in the offer letter. Which makes sense as most of the schools are private and also make their offers closer to Jan/Feb.
