Is anyone else planning on (hoping to) begin their graduate program at UT Dallas this Summer coming from out-of-field? The program starts so soon after my graduation (it's on May 11 and then summer classes start May 27) but I'm hoping there will be other people doing the same thing that I can meet when I move there!

I'm hopefully going to start my program this summer or fall if they accept me :). I'm waiting for their decision though! My GRE scores are kind of low though, so I'm kind of worried! My name is Jennifer by the way!

Posted

I'm Julie! My GRE was pretty normal I think - they cared a lot more about my Letters of Recommendation and Statement of Purpose I think! Good luck and keep me posted!

I would love to attend UT Dallas! I haven't heard back yet though. The wait is killing me! It seems they are sending their acceptances out slowly, at least based on gradcafe. 

Posted

It's killing me too! .___. I called and the front desk lady told me there is no definite date for an answer... when did you turn in your application daisy?

Posted

I sent my application kind of late - officially 2/04 but for whatever reason my undergraduate transcript didn't arrive until 2/14!

I haven't heard anything from them yet, but UT Dallas is one of my top choices! Best of luck to you all applying and congratulations to those of you who already heard back!

Hi Julie, Congratulations on your early acceptance to UTD!! I am still waiting to hear back, but if accepted I will definitely attend in the Fall or Summer if given the option. I also applied as an "out-of-field" student and UTD in my no.1 choice.  :)

 

I live in the Dallas area now, and I think you will have a great group of peers based on my experience meeting some friendly people in the program. Welcome to Texas this summer! 

 

Cheers,

Quinn

Thanks Quinn! I'm so excited to move there and I am sending positive thoughts your way!! Good luck and keep me posted :)

Congrats Julie!  I am in my first semester as a non-traditional student at UTD.  I really like it and hope you do too!

Does anybody know if they are reviewing applications during spring break? Hahahah hopefully they do! I just want to view their decision already..!

Eee I am wondering this too! I check the portal more than 5 times a day it is a sick obsession! haha. I am so nervous, It's one of my top choices :/

Also, did you freak out when you saw all the UT Austin decisions on the results page? I definitely did!

Yes! So many qualified applicants got rejected.. they must have a large applicant pool this year..

I check the portal everytime I am on the computer... which is like throughout most of my day haha! I think I am in a worse pickle than you! Application gods, please give us an answer on our apps! haha It is one of my top choices too considering I live 30 minutes away from the campus. I'm also an out of field applicant and there isn't many schools that integrate leveling classes as part of their masters program in Texas!

I got accepted to ut austin but am probably going to Dallas so someone on the waitlist can have my spot!

I hope all of you get accepted to your top choices, and i can't wait to meet everyone headed to UTD!  Ahhh it's so hard though because I know I would have amazing experiences at any of the places I applied!

Hi ya'll! I got accepted to UT Dallas back in February and I'm about 80% sure I'll be starting there in the fall. I would love to start this summer, but I'm going to take the time to finish up ASHA's science prerequisites before starting the program. With that said, I can't wait to get this master's train rolling and meet all of you wonderful UTD people!

Posted

Hi slpash! Keep me posted if you do attend - I was not accepted to Vanderbilt, my other top choice, so I just officially accepted my admission to UT Dallas!

Posted

Congrats Julie!!! I am so excited for you!! I will be meeting you in the summer if I go to UTD!! slpash Can't wait to meet you if I attend. It is a hard choice for me because I have been accepted to all my top schools, but I am leaning towards Dallas!

Does anyone know who I should call to ask about when I might hear a decision? I was thinking the Program Assistant, but I just want to be sure I speak to the right person.

You should contact Dr. Stillman. They are actually on spring break this week, though. I doubt they will be making decisions, but I could be wrong. I know Dr. Stillman is on vacation. If you contact them next week, they will be back in session! Hope this helps, daisynic !

 Oh gosh, a whole week where I can't obsessively check the portal? Haha, but thank you so much! I will give Dr. Stillman a call next week.

Yes, they had 700 applicants this year so it's taking a long time to sort through! Best of luck to you!

 

Oh wow! That makes me so nervous. Thank you! Crossing my fingers  :rolleyes:

 Good luck! Dr. Stillman is super personable, so don't be nervous to reach out to him if you can't wait any longer :) Also, they definitely look at the applicant as a whole, rather than just numbers, if that helps with your nerves a bit!
