It's my first acceptance this cycle, so some of the pressure is definitely off.

I was under the impression that you had to receive a decent scholarship amount in order qualify for the travel scholarship. If you got the email, I'm sure you received a scholarship.

Re: Texas 2011-2012 Applicants
In case anyone was wondering about scholarships, I received an offer about a week after I got the admission phone call and the admit packet. I had a voicemail that didn't say anything about a scholarship so it came as a surprise to find it in my mailbox!

I thought so too, but I was accepted end of Janury and haven't received anything. Maybe it got lost in the mail?Magnifique1908 wrote:cch24 wrote:I got the email as well! I'm still holding out for a real scholarship though...

Yeah, you should've gotten it by now and since you received a travel scholarship I would call. Just to be sure.cch24 wrote:I thought so too, but I was accepted end of Janury and haven't received anything. Maybe it got lost in the mail?Magnifique1908 wrote:cch24 wrote:I got the email as well!

Got the call on Feb 10th and the travel scholarship email today... I was also hoping for something about a scholarship offer though.
Does getting the travel scholarship absolutely mean we're getting a scholarship offer?

I got my first ding this morning too around 4 AM. Oh well.
I guess the eyes of Texas are in fact not upon me at all.

4 am ding after a two week turnaround tells me a computer handles their admissions. So much for a full file review

I got the dean scholarship for 9500 per year but baylor just offered me full tuition. This complicates my desire to go to UT. Does anyone know if the matching program would consider baylor?

They only consider peer schools - schools that are similarly ranked.jaicastel wrote:I got the dean scholarship for 9500 per year but baylor just offered me full tuition. This complicates my desire to go to UT. Does anyone know if the matching program would consider baylor?
Also, going to Baylor over Texas with a partial scholarship would be a gigantic mistake in my opinion. I suggest you use the search function and find out some of the things people have to say about Baylor.

This guy gives me scholarship hope. He was 1. below the GPA cutoff for last year 2. used a bama scholarship to negotiate and 3. negotiated more than once. Not unlike the "non-existant" merit based fee waivers I think that the scholarship process might bend a little for some.

Re: Texas 2011-2012 Applicants
Nope...felt a little nervous about asking the person (who definitely knows) directly for those "unofficial" numbers. But, they tried to assure me that there is some "rationale" behind those numbers. It sounded all plausible but I couldn't stop thinking about how relevant those arguments would be in the absence of USNWR rankings.wskbarrett wrote:any idea what those cutoffs are?droctii wrote:Got some inside info and this is it!eaper wrote:They probably have some numbers as minimums and let the computers ding those.Lord Randolph McDuff wrote:4 am ding after a two week turnaround tells me a computer handles their admissions.
