abigailnicole Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 For anyone that has applied to UT Dallas, have you heard anything back yet? I applied mid November for the Summer 2018 semester. When I go to the galaxy portal to look at my application status I noticed that on my to do list "final college transcript" has been added. I know "Official college transcript" will always be on your to do list, but I was wondering if anyone else noticed that "final college transcript" was also added to their portal? I am hoping that is a good sign since they only need that if you are accepted?! It is my 1st choice and I am super anxious to know if I got in so I can start looking for places to live! I am moving from Ohio, so the sooner I find out the better! Also, if you have heard back did you receive any funding? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLPLiz Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I haven't heard anything yet...I also applied in mid November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abigailnicole Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 @SLPLiz I feel like it should be any day now. Last year people started finding out January 22nd! SLPLiz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broca's aphasia Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I heard back sometime around the 20th of January I think. My application wasn't totally complete until the first week of January. Dr. Stillman will email you personally once they accept you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLPihope2B Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I applied in early December and got an email from dr Stillman stating that I was accepted late December about 2 weeks after I applied! I know they do rolling admissions though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplefuzz2 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I have applied to UTD in Spring 2018 and the missing Final Transcript is an error. Good luck! abigailnicole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SayRuhh Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 For the people that have heard back, did Dr. Stillman send your acceptance email to your personal email account associated with the application? Or your UTD email? Also, did you all receive any funding?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBG321 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 He sends it to your email listed on the application. Most aren't offered funding, if you are in state the price is comparable to other programs, and cheaper than private schools even if they offer scholarships. You can calculate the cost on UTDs financial page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittanymarie Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Have y'all heard back yet? I applied in the Fall and haven't heard anything...I've seen that some people with lower GPA/GRE have already heard back and it makes me nervous...

I've been noticing the same in regards to GPA/GRE scores. I've been constantly checking my email and the portal as most people say that Dr. Stillman will email you personally once you've been offered admission. Hopefully we'll hear back soon!!

Allison0302 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I am also in the same boat! Hoping to hear back soon! abigailnicole and Brittanymarie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittanymarie Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Y'all I seriously check my email 20 times a day. UTD is my top choice and I am trying to patiently wait to hear back, but knowing other people have started to hear back makes me way more anxious.

lbh33 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 UTD is also my first choice and I am so anxious to hear back! @Brittanymarie did the people with lower scores receive acceptances or rejections that you know of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittanymarie Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 @lbh33 Acceptances! I'm thinking they might do admissions alphabetically??The three people I know have last names that start with C. I'm not sure if it is a coincidence or not. lbh33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abigailnicole Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 @Brittanymarie @lbh33 I still have not heard back either and I applied mid November! They are my first choice as well. I wake up every morning hoping that it will be the day I hear back from them, and the waiting is awful!! Brittanymarie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cblars Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) I applied in October, but my letters of recommendation weren't completed until late January, so my application wasn't really complete until then. I heard from Dr. Stillman about 2 weeks ago, but I'm not sure how they choose the order they view applications (my last name starts with L). He also said applying for work study through FAFSA helps with funding, and the in-state tuition rates for out-of-state students will be given out later.

SLPLiz Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I'm glad we all obsessively check our email and it's not just me! My GPA and GRE scores and right in the same area as the other acceptances so I'm just hoping to hear something soon. I looked at the results from last year on here and starting about mid march people started to say that they checked the portal and it said they were rejected. So I think we still have time! lbh33 and Brittanymarie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickLikeA Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Where are y'all seeing GRE/GPA of admitted folks? Is it in that huge thread for all schools? I'm assuming mine are competitive but don't know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLPLiz Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) @QuickLikeA if you go to the results there will be a little red diamond next to some of the "accepted via email" areas of the people who posted the results and if you hover your mouse over it you can see their gpa and gre scores. I hope that makes sense! Edited February 21, 2018 by SLPLiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangamom Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 My daughter is a grad student at UTD and I encourage you to fill out Fafsa. As a grad student you are considered independent so you don't have to provide parents income. She ended up reducing 5 or 6k each year in grants (not loans) as well as work study ( basically 10 hours per week at about $10 per hour). By applying, she even received some aid for her summer session. She also received in state tuition which was offered at acceptance. But my understanding is that it has since changed as they don't have as many to offer. UTD had been nice because the price stayed the same from your first semester (guaranteed tuition). I think she got 6k first year, maybe 2k for summer and 5 k second year. No work study during summer. Some classes have an extra $40 per unit fee. Basically, with her financial aid we paid: $5090 fall 2016 $6090 spring 2017 $4349 summer 2017 $4690 fall 2017 $4469 spring 2018 When she originally applied, I was expecting about 15k per semester (out of state tuition) for about 75k for 5 semesters. So I was thrilled with what she was given. i hope this info helps out someone. abigailnicole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abigailnicole Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hey guys! So I talked to Dr. Stillman and he said they are working from the top down (accepting best candidates) and bottom up (denying worst candidates) so that means if you have not heard back yet and your application was completed a few months back, you are most likely somewhere in the middle. He also mentioned that there are very few in state tuition scholarships this year, therefore they have been very reluctant to accept out of state students since the cost of attending will be high. lbh33, cblars, schmauds and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittanymarie Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I heard back on Wednesday this week in an email from Dr. Stillman. I will be starting in the summer!
