UT - Austin

[unspeakable]

Is anyone else still waiting on a decision? I saw a bunch of rejections and acceptances, but my status still says it's being reviewed.

same here. i get the sense they reject applicants in stages--i have two friends that were rejected at different times last year.

I got an acceptance email two days ago, and their recruitment weekend isn't until the very end of March, so it is definitely possible they will still be sending out more offers. Last year I was waitlisted at Austin, and they didn't inform me of that until the middle of March. I was then subsequently rejected, but that is not the moral of this story. I think it just takes them a little while for them to get a hold of everyone.

I got an acceptance e-mail, too, and it didn't say anything about an accepted students weekend. Did you call them?

Technology seems to be failing me this week.

Hi adverbially,

The note about the accepted students weekend was in the email I received, but if you already have a masters, I don't think you're included. Here's what it says: "This year we will be hosting a recruitment event for some of those we hope will join our program and who do not yet hold an advanced degree." Hopefully this answers your question.

That would do it. Thanks!
