Re: Texas 2011-2012 Applicants
I didn't. I basically didn't give the waitlist a second thought after everything I heard about the GPA floor (3.34 174). I wonder if all of this splitter action means they're doing more to massage their numbers to see if they can't knock down Georgetown.
Edit: In fact, I never even responded to the waitlist email. Dean Ingrahm made fun of me because I didn't know I was on the waitlist, but I just double checked and the waitlist email specifically says that you have to reply and opt-in. I got that email on February 3, by the way. How bizarre.

Thanks for the info! I think I was waitlisted around then as well. As a follow up question...did anyone get in off the waitlist who was not from Texas (i'm out of state)?Nobody wrote:I didn't.

Your posts are always so positive and I was rooting for you when you got waitlisted. Does this mean we'll be classmates??emkay625 wrote:Oh my god.....oh my god.....also in off of the waitlist today. Just got the voicemail......WHY DIDN'T I ANSWER THE PHONE?!?!?!
I am in shock. Utter shock.
Why are they pulling from the waitlist so early?!?!
And yes, yes it does.
When is ASW?

Re: Texas 2011-2012 Applicants
My guess is no, due to the 168/3.6 threshold mentioned earlier. We'll see though. Does anyone have their admit packet yet?wskbarrett wrote:Anybody know if there is any possibility that UT will offer scholarships to those pulled from the wait list?

People who have scholarships at peer schools can negotiate. Why didn't I apply to any of UT's peer schools?emkay625 wrote:My guess is no, due to the 168/3.6 threshold mentioned earlier.

Re: Texas 2011-2012 Applicants
Weird question. I withdrew from a ton of schools yesterday and almost everyone responded back asking where I was going. Do I have to tell them? I might wait until next week when I actually visit even though I'm 100% attending and will probably deposit while I'm visiting.

Emkay, there is an admitted students site, your UTEID is the password. Don't know if you remember it. But, the UT @ UT law event RSVP is not on there. It was a separate email that I'm sure you'll get. I would def. call them about it though just to be sure b/c I think the deadline to RSVP is the 1st, although you may get some extra time.emkay625 wrote:Thanks! I would definitely want to go to that!!

Re: Texas 2011-2012 Applicants
Thanks! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't breaking some sort of law school etiquette. I'm so excited to basically be done with this cycle so I figured I might as well withdraw from places I'm not attending.Aqua wrote:you absolutely do not have to tell them. it is nice of you to even withdraw this early.cch24 wrote:Weird question.

Re: Texas 2011-2012 Applicants
I'm wondering what kind of offers I need from peer schools to negotiate for more mileage out of the standard Dean's Scholarship they offered...

The scholarship from a peer would need to exceed the cost of attendance at Texas in order to squeeze more $$ outTexasWave wrote:I'm wondering what kind of offers I need from peer schools to negotiate for more mileage out of the standard Dean's Scholarship they offered...

Re: Texas 2011-2012 Applicants
Also, do scholarship offers come in the admit packet? Or in a separate letter later?
I am not anticipating getting one, just curious.
