londonrain9 Posted February 26, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msw_2019! Posted March 3, 2019 Share 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?

Also, has anyone been accepted and been given merit scholarships? If so how much? I was accepted just over two weeks ago, with no notification of merit scholarships. They did give me an extension to give me time to apply for departmental funding, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msw_2019! Posted March 4, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirandaVC Posted March 4, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What departmental funding are you applying to? I wish they gave us more info on all the resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drayburrows Posted March 4, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Thank you! 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
