MSW_hopesanddreams Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hello! I applied to UT Austin's MSW program on November 13th, and met the early application deadline. Ever since January 15th I have been anxiously checking my status each day, but it still says "in review," so the waiting game continues. I am just curious if anyone else has heard back!

MSW-ali Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Hi! I applied to the program on November 14th, and I have been so anxious since decisions started to come out. I hope you get good news soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCD365 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I applied back in October and emailed the grad contact yesterday and got this response: Thank you for your interest in the Steve Hicks School of Social Work. Your application is in review and you should have a decision within 10 to 15 weeks. Here's hoping that's a major exaggeration. I haven't been able to find anyone else who's received a response yet though, so maybe they're just extremely delayed thanks to covid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I submitted my last letter in mid-November, but my status has said something like forwarded to graduate committee since late October/Early November. But I don't remember getting an email about the status change or a timeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed them yesterday because I was curious to see if they had any updates, but that 10-15 weeks response was all they sent back. I had heard previous students say the priority deadline people should hear back by end of January, but again with covid and all that I think it's delayed their response time.

MSW_hopesanddreams Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 @MSW-ali @NCD365 I hope you both get good news soon, too! Sounds like they might be a bit behind on things - I got the same reply when I reached out. Let me know if any of you hear back, I hope we all get good news!!

trahenagem Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hello! I'm just wondering if many have heard back from UT yet. This thread/topic is very quiet! I submitted my application for Jan 15th deadline and have been in the review stage for several weeks now. So. Much. Waiting.

CosmicTrophy Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I applied for Summer. “In Review” Have a feeling the wait will be through mid April at least. It’s humbling ? trahenagem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananamuffin Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I heard back in late February but I applied early (Nov 15). Now I am waiting on financial aid. What makes everyone interested in UT (just curious )? CosmicTrophy and brokeactor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it must've changed last night or sometime around then. I applied right at the Jan 15th cutoff and my last LOR wasn't in until Jan 20th. Still hopeful!

Your updates have been really helpful and I made an account just to say congratulations on getting in! I'm still waiting to hear back, but I applied on a whim and have had some circumstances change so I'm not sure I'll go now even if I do get in, but I'm very glad for you!!! mssw and CosmicTrophy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayla Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 My co worker applied before the November 15th deadline and heard back a few weeks ago that she got in! I applied a week before January 15th but i'm still waiting on a decision, I think they actually do take the 10-15 weeks like they email and tell people because hers took about 15 weeks to know something. I'm ready to hear back i'm so anxious! January 15th deadline people i think we will hear back by the end of this month because that would make 15 weeks! trahenagem, aoikal, wellthatsnice and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure every school was slowed down due to COVID. I also applied by the Jan 15th deadline and my application has been forwarded for review. I got accepted to Texas State, which I really enjoyed interviewing with. But obviously, UT is very prestigious so I'm hoping for there! brokeactor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokeactor Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I hope to hear something before April 15th at least! I was accepted to UofH which I'm super stoked about, but I have to confirm by the 15th. Wish they provided funding info before June as well... What happens if you commit and then decide not to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokeactor Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I also wanted to ask - has anyone gotten any financial aid offers with their acceptance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow UoH doesn't give you much time to decide! Texas State gave until May 15th. I googled your question and you CAN decide not to go after committing but it is frowned upon: https://www.quora.com/Is-it-ok-to-accept-admission-at-one-grad-school-and-then-decide-to-go-to-another I did not get a financial offer with the acceptance letter for TX State. I had UofH on my list to apply to and even got recs for them, but I had a real life "the dog ate my homework" and missed the deadline. I was kinda bummed but really liked TX State and hope to get into UT as well. brokeactor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, April 15th is just SO SO soon, and especially with NO indication of financial aid. I've heard of a few people asking nicely for an extension to decide, so if UT hasn't gotten back to me by then, I might try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
