Hey! I know this time is so stressful, and I hope you’re taking care of yourself in whatever way you can. I can offer some insight from my own admissions experience if you believe it’ll help. I applied before the priority deadline and was admitted on 3/1. I got an email from the LBJ School that afternoon informing me of my acceptance. The “letter” was attached to the email, along with some other documents about quant readiness and admitted students day. A few hours later (around midnight, weird), I got a generic email from the GIAC informing me the university had made a decision on my admission and to check my status page. Regardless of your results, I applaud your for putting yourself out there in a tough application cycle. I hope things work out for you!

Did anyone else attend the admitted students event today? I’m already pretty much sold on LBJ, but I was super impressed with the accessibility of faculty and the attention given to student support.

No, I did not send them physical transcripts and my letter still said my admission was pending final approval until I send them final materials. My acceptance had this generic language: You have received a fellowship, and will receive an official letter from the fellowships office via DocuSign within the next week. Please refrain from asking questions about fellowships until you’ve received your fellowship notification. and then the official letter from the fellowships office came a few days later.

I posted in another thread but funding information was attached to my original acceptance letter. My acceptance told me that I’d received a fellowship, and then a few days later I got an official funding letter from the school. Separately from the fellowship, my online portal also updated with financial aid info a couple days after my acceptance. It’s a bit confusing, but I think only those that received fellowships were notified about funding. I hope I’m wrong and they come through with some money for you!

I was accepted with about 25k in fellowship funding. My initial acceptance had this generic language: You have received a fellowship, and will receive an official letter from the fellowships office via DocuSign within the next week. Please refrain from asking questions about fellowships until you’ve received your fellowship notification. Later in the week I got an email from the fellowships office with my funding letter. I hope this helps and I hope they come through with some $ for you!
