WRJ Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 The wait is killing me! My app has been "in review" since forever...really hoping to hear back next week ? txstarbs 1
londonrain9 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Just got the acceptance notice today! I might have to decline, though, due to personal reasons ? UT is an amazing program so it’s still an honor to be offered admittance. WRJ 1

Expand Thanks! I submitted it on January 3rd and the last recommendation letter was submitted on January 15
Msw_2019! Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Is anyone else anxiously waiting for a decision? I applied by the 15th deadline with 3 rec letters then 2 more by the 22nd. This "in review" is killing me. I assume we'll hear in the next couple of weeks. Also, has anyone been accepted and been given merit scholarships? If so how much?

They did give me an extension to give me time to apply for departmental funding, though.

Someone in the group was saying they haven’t made decisions on advanced standing yet
Msw_2019! Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 @txstarbs I applied to regular or the two year traditional program. It's supposed to be 6 to 8 weeks after everything has been turned in so I assume we will hear soon.. especially you! txstarbs 1
MirandaVC Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 @txstarbs I phoned them and they told me Advanced Standing won't start hearing back until late March/early April because they're still waiting for the bulk of applicants to submit their secondary documentation package. Most people aren't done their final field evaluation until sometime in March. txstarbs 1

What departmental funding are you applying to? I wish they gave us more info on all the resources.
drayburrows Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 So I emailed the Director of Admissions--and they said, quote, "Most applicants hear back 10-12 weeks after the January 15 deadline." That may include those applying with Advanced Standing too, though. (I am not, myself. I had everything in by Jan 15, and I haven't heard back yet.) txstarbs 1

Expand There is a link on the social work school's website (I think through the admissions link, but I'm not 100% because it takes me a long time to find it every time) that is an application for departmental scholarships and TA positions. The RA positions use another application, but I don't think they want that filled out until we accepted. Not positive about that, so it may be worth emailing and asking if you're interested.

Expand Oh yeah! I'm filling that out right now. It said on the website to submit once you hear back about acceptance. Thank you!

Thank you! Expand Sorry, I feel like I worded that last part weird. I meant I'm not sure if they want RA applications until you've accepted your offer to attend. But it may be worth asking, if you're interested in an RA position. WRJ 1
Msw_2019! Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 The waiting part is torture. I keep checking my status. I'm hoping to find out soon and for good news! drayburrows and txstarbs 2
