For the past several years (something like 7), the LBJ school has given in-state tuition to everyone. The UT system has the second largest endowment of any school in the country. Something like $24 Billion.

Really? I'm surprised that something like that isn't prominently mentioned on the site. I suppose I'll know for certain where I stand when everything's wrapped up and I receive the formal offer letter.

They mentioned it at the open house I went to in the fall. I think it's something that is not guaranteed, so they don't put it on the website, but that they've been able to do for a while now.

Has anyone else still not received an admission decision on the MGPS track?

I submitted everything in December, have a solid Undergraduate GPA from a great school and considerable work experience abroad and working here in the U.S. in immigration. I'm really frustrated about not having heard anything, considering that it's almost April.

Have you called them? They told me that people who were concerned should really reach out. Something seems wrong here.

Yeah, and emailed. No real responses. I'm a little baffled.

That's really strange. I didn't apply until February 18th and I don't think my application was actually complete until either the 24th or 25th of February.
