UT Austin - Have Housing Form, what does that mean?!

[CAda]

I applied to UT Austin Developmental and haven't heard anything from them. I submitted my fafsa to all the schools I applied to, so I have a finaid tab on my UT Austin application status check page. Recently, however, a housing tab also popped up. 

 

I know it's SUPER naive and wishful thinking - especially because I never had an interview - but it's nice to think maybe somehow this means that I'm still in the running. 

 

Does anyone else have these tabs? Did anyone interview with UT Austin for developmental?

 

I'm ready for the cold hard voice of reason to crush my dreams

So on my Housing tab it links to the Applying to Live on Campus page, and on there it says that you can apply for housing when you apply for admission and everything has been received for your application, so I think it's just part of the process of being an applicant. It's confusing that it's all under the Freshman tab, but if you log in it has the option to choose on-campus graduate housing.

 

I was going to double check the UT admissions FAQ, but I didn't interview and was still accepted into the HDCLS program in the College of Education. However, the page isn't loading so I can't verify if there are no interviews at all for UT or just one program in particular. Sorry! Don't give up hope though!

Thanks for your reply! I just saw on the housing page "You do not need to be admitted to apply for housing."  so you're right- it looks like it's just an option for applicants to get started early. Ohhh welll

 

I'd still love to hear from anyone who interviewed at UT Austin for developmental or any areas of psych.
