Capturedvitality Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Working on my last edits for my essays. Anyone else applying !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRJ Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 ME! I'm stuck in a part of the application though. The section that says Awards & Essays, are they asking for past awards or awards/scholarships we've received for the Fall 2019? Not sure what they mean.

So I emailed about this before they went on break. They want awards you have been given so I put my deans list from undergrad and so on. The 3 essays are obviously completely separate.

WRJ Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Oops yeah! I meant Honors and Awards, not awards and essays. Thank you so much! I was going to have to wait to finally submit until I heard back from them. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capturedvitality Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Thanks. Did the submission lastnight. Now waiting on them to get back to me due to needing to upload a new version of my resume. BTW I asked and all rec letters are due the 15th not just the application!

WRJ Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I know! That's what has me super stressed out. I was counting on applying by the deadline and after learning that it was all due on the 15th it shifted my timeline. I'm so stressed. One more question, for the Narrative Essay #1, did you do a normal essay that answered all the questions or did you go "Q1, Answer 1. Q2, Answer 2. Q3, Answer 3. Etc ?" Given it says "narrative essay," I did a normal narrative essay! But now I'm doubting myself. I tried calling the school but they're all out until tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried calling the school but they're all out until tomorrow I did a normal essay just involving my answers! I believe you did it correctly. Otherwise it wouldn’t be an “essay” ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRJ Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Thank god! I talked to the general UT Austin graduate admissions rep and explained the situation and they "guessed" it should be a question and answer deal. But it made no sense to me. I just want to thank you for being so kind in answering all my stress-induced questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other school has had a similar format for essays with lots of topics to be blended into the essay. It never crossed my mind to do q and a. No problem! The anxiety is normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirtualCryptid Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm hoping to get my application in tonight or tomorrow! I think I'm in trouble though...My letter writers are on the ball and will submit on time but I'm having issues with their "official" transcript requirement. I did a semester abroad in London and ordered my transcript back in December and it still hasn't shown up yet ? Crossing my fingers it gets here by Monday and isn't lost in the mail!!

I suspect they sent it to my current school instead of my address and if so I'm hoping they can expedite it to me. A perfect example of why you don't procrastinate!!
