octav1an Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I saw one or two interview offers posted on the results page a while back. Any insider info? :wink: :evil:
Deguit0 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Not really, I was interview by a professor last week. At the end of the interview he said that they were right in the middle of the admission process and that I should expect to hear from them in a matter of weeks rather than months. So yeah, I wouldn't expect to hear anything for at least 1 more week (that's being optimistic there!). Let's just all hope for the best! What are of comp sci are you applying to? Good luck to everyone!

longhorn Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 As an "insider", I had a talk with one of my professors. The info is that they received much more applications, and the quality of application pool is extremely strong this year. We were informed that the visit weekend would be on March 27, so I guess the decisions would be out in a couple of weeks. Best of luck!

arienandthesun Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I really hate hearing the phrase "the quality of application pool is extremely strong this year" It is the same thing every year...

smilee Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 The secretary once told me that decisions will be posted first on the UT direct website, and then the official letters will be spread around.

sakisBoulas Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Where I can check my status? I have accidentally deleted the email with the url. thanx Do they also mention rejects?
Deguit0 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 https://utdirect.utexas.edu/admissions/status_check.WBX That's the URL, but my status has not been updated yet. I think that's because the status comes from the Graduate OFfice, but the email was sent from the Computer Science department, so I guess it will take a few days to get updated. Good luck!
