onedayslp Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Anyone here applying to UT Dallas? They have rolling admission, so I am wondering if they have started notifying already...
kchristo Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I am waiting on one last letter of recommendation to submit by their February 15th deadline.
onedayslp Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 I am waiting on one last letter of recommendation to submit by their February 15th deadline. I'm in the same boat. I just submitted on Monday and have one rec letter missing. However, my application status on the Galaxy portal has already changed to "complete" ...have you found the same?
Chandru1 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Currently my #1 school! When I log into the application portal, it says that my essay and transcripts are incomplete. But I submitted them on the application. Do I need to resubmit them?
MangoSmoothie Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 If you haven't already, I'd check out the results page and lurk there to see when results start coming in. http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/ A lot of people seem to post there more actively than they post on the forums, plus it's easy to see when applicants were notifed last year, but it looks like people heard back starting in late Feb. But good luck! I hope you get the news you want to hear.

But I submitted them on the application. Do I need to resubmit them? The same thing happened to me. Once I submitted, the essay and transcript requirements popped up as incomplete on my overview page. When I click on the "essay" requirement, it says that I've already submitted an essay. I'm thinking those just show up automatically in case people forgot to upload their essay or transcripts. As long as your Galaxy portal is saying complete, I wouldn't worry about it.

tex_hart Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I would recommend calling UTDallas ensure everything arrived (if you think everything should be there). My file was marked as complete online but when I called, it had been filed internally as "incomplete" and was not reviewed. When they looked in the file, it was actually complete.
onedayslp Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 Is Galaxy Portal the application system log on or something totally different? Yes, the Galaxy Portal is different. It's where you can track the status of your application. A few days after I submitted, I received an email titled "Thanks for applying" with instructions on how to create a Net ID. The Net ID is what you use to log into the Galaxy Portal.

I just discovered Galaxy Portal! It says my app is under review, so I guess I can breathe easier.

robynward92 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I heard back a few days ago! But I finished the online portion of my application in December. Good luck!!
onedayslp Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 I heard back a few days ago! But I finished the online portion of my application in December. Good luck!! I am assuming you are the one who posted on the results page that you got admitted (hope I'm not wrong about that). Congratulations! Do you happen to know the date that your file was complete with recommendations and everything? Also, did you submit a resume? I didn't see a place to upload a resume on the app.. I found it weird b/c all my other schools asked for one.
slptobe1 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I have heard back from UT Dallas also. It said my application was completed on January 14 and I heard back January 28! I turned in my application in December and my transcript arrived Jan 14.
Chandru1 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I got the 3 week notice that my transcripts haven't arrived, so I just FedExed them. It's like the postal service is against me lol
onedayslp Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 Has anyone else heard from UTD? The last posting on the results page is from Feb 3.
Chandru1 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) I am so stressed out...the registrar STILL has not found my transcripts. I understand that they are extremely busy, but it should not take 2 tries and 6 weeks. Edited February 12, 2015 by Chandru1
slplivin Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I have a meeting with Dr. Stillman soon....I am hopeful!
onedayslp Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 I have a meeting with Dr. Stillman soon....I am hopeful! Did you just email him to set that up? Or were you invited for an interview?
slplivin Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 He is a friend of a family members so he emailed me offering to talk to me about the program, but I know they do not do formal interviews.
onedayslp Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 He is a friend of a family members so he emailed me offering to talk to me about the program, but I know they do not do formal interviews. Oh wow! I would take that as a very positive sign. What a great connection to have.
slplivin Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Yes I am looking forward to meeting him! I cant believe some people have already heard back...rolling admissions is making me crazy! I check the portal daily
onedayslp Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 Yes I am looking forward to meeting him! I cant believe some people have already heard back...rolling admissions is making me crazy! I check the portal daily I know! I'm checking it constantly, too. Especially since there were a few acceptances and then nothing for the past 9 days!
slpPLS Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Hey all, so on my to-do list it says they still need my official transcript. I sent it in a few weeks back but to the dept address listed on the website... so I called and the lady said the dept forwards them to the Admission and Enrollment office, which is currently 3 weeks behind. She told me not to resend my transcript. Just a FYI, so for those having the same prob don't fret Edited February 17, 2015 by slpPLS
Chandru1 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Now they are 3 weeks behind? Last I called they were 2...
