psychedpotato Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Hi all, I have been following this thread for a while and decided to just now make an account and post. I completed my application to UT around the end of November. They confirmed that they received my application in December before winter break through a letter in the mail and through MyStatus. The status changed from received to in review in January. On Feb 4th they told me that the application status has been updated and to check MyStatus, when I checked it said that I had been accepted. Please let me know if you guys have any questions, and good luck to all those still waiting! ? HTX 1

Where else have you applied to?

I applied to UT Austin and the University of Houston, i've only heard back from UT so far. I'm not sure where I'll be going yet because it depends on a lot of factors but I am excited about the opportunity to go to UT. strawberrycows 1

MSWFall2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 yeah the switch to "your app has been forwarded to the graduate committee" was a real teaser, I thought I'd hear shortly after that! txstarbs and HTX 2

Just FYI if you haven't seen it - since UT is public, you can see the average GPA / selectivity / yield by program here: https://gradschool.utexas.edu/admissions/where-to-begin/admissions-and-enrollment-statistic Was helpful to me! txstarbs 1

(NOT UT Austin) The time when I was applying - My cumulative GPA was 3.5 I had a TON of research experience as a psych major and four solid letters of recommendations from faculties I've been working with for about 2 years and had several conference posters. Not much community service volunteer work to be honest. I know not everyone is going to have the same background - but I just had a lot of background in research because I was originally thinking about pursuing a graduate degree in experimental psychology!

MirandaVC Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Mine still says "In Review" and my hair is going to fall out with stress. Is anyone else an international applicant? Do you think that's making it take longer? I'm Canadian.

My application was complete 1/15. The two people on this thread who've been accepted both said they applied in December, so I'm giving it at least two weeks before I start to worry strawberrycows 1
MirandaVC Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 I got nervous and phoned them, turns out it's because I applied for advanced standing. Heads up that if you applied for advanced standing they don't evaluate you for standard first, you'll be in review until your extra set of documents is complete. Thanks for the encouragement anyway! txstarbs 1

I am also applying advanced standing! I submitted the extra documents at the end of December though. Did they say that it just takes longer to review in general?
MirandaVC Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 @txstarbs if I recall correctly they told me a couple of people for advanced standing had already sent in their documents and they won't be reviewed until the rest are received in about March. I think we're in the same boat here. How are yours in so early? My final placement evaluation isn't until March.

I read in the application somewhere that you could supplement the final evaluation with your midterm evaluation and send your final in later. I won’t get mine until May

Hi! Does this mean that we you are no longer eligible to turn any documents in? I was under the impression that you submitted documents after acceptance! ?
