University of Texas Waitlist

[SunShine08]

Has anyone on the waitlist for UT at Austin heard from them? Do you have any idea when we might get responses from the school?

I would try contacting Evelyn Porter if you haven't already. She seems to be rather efficient, especially if you call her. Not to be the bearer of bad news though, they admitted 23 of us, and many of us at the recruitment event were already pretty sure we were going there, and everyone else seemed to be strongly considering going there (one woman liked it over her visit to Berkeley and Stanford). Needless to say, I can't imagine them having to turn to their wait list, but again, I'd contact Evelyn. Hopefully I'm wrong, and you get in - if so, see you in the fall!!!

Interesting that they finally updated that page with the new GRE scale. Looking at the nowhere near representative sample of folks on Grad Cafe that got into UT-Austin though, it seems those "averages" for hard stats are a little low, and I had always assumed they were outdated, guess not!

I was surprised by the quant, but the other stuff looked about right.  Though, at the visit, about 3/4 of the admitted students were interested in qualitative methods, so I guess it's not THAT surprising, lol.

I couldn't attend the UT Austin visit day and finally visited the program last week. Anyone wanna share their thoughts with me via here or PM on what they thought about the program and life in Austin? Thanks!
