Not sure if that's what it means for the law school/if they're related, but I can speak on the locked in for the Undergrad stuff at least as it may carry over. As an undergrad (so may be 100% unrelated), they set a flat rate for full time, any classes more than that and you don't pay extra, so I pay the same for 12 hours as an UG as I would for 18 hours. It has varied year to year as tuition increases are implemented, however.

Just double checked, and it is different for law (and other grad programs).

Graduate and professional program flat rate is based on the student's area of study, residency and the first semester the student was enrolled in the graduate or professional program. Graduate and professional program flat rate is indexed to the number of semester credit hours taken and does not have a cap.

Good to know, I could definitely see it being different since they have pretty different administration and everything.

Lol I got a 5k/yr scholarship. Pretty cheap on their part IMO given that they give the ED folks 10k/yr. I'll definitely be negotiating this upward if I matriculate here.

It's also different from UH who charge by the hour for Law and last year or two years ago kept their tuition level (on a per hour basis) while reconfiguring their program to require one more hour for 1Ls (thus an increase of about 3%). I think you got it back in 2L/3L (as in, I think the graduation requirement of hours remained the same).

hey guys, just checking in! Accepted yesterday afternoon via a really nice voicemail. Texas resident, non-URM. Just below 75th percentile on GPA and LSAT. I'm so excited! Hopefully I'll see a lot of y'all there

Congrats! Were you RD or ED?

Thanks!! RD

That moment where I didn't scroll down far enough to see the "Admission Granted on December 13th" status update haha. RD. PM for Stats.

Hey guys,

I posted on here earlier, but I just got a scholarship offer, so I wanted to update everyone with how my complete process went to give you an idea of what to expect. Here's how it went down for me:

Applied in the middle of September
Complete early October
Accepted via phone call the week of Thanksgiving
Sent admission packet in mail containing admission letter, a print out from a newsletter, and list of their students who did judicial clerkships.
Sent 3 reasons why I should choose Texas through mail.
Sent scholarship offer through mail. The scholarship offer was really a pretty good one

I applied RD, am an in-state resident, and am not a URM. GPA is 3.9x and LSAT is 170.

So that's about it! Good luck with the whole process everyone!

Same thing happened to me this morning. Does this mean that we will be getting phone calls this afternoon, perhaps?

Stats are in profile, btw. Seeing this acceptance first thing was definitely a great way to start the week.

Can you guys please give time of when you submitted application? Also, did you not get an email alerting you to a status change, etc?

Thanks,

Nope, you should be getting in with big bucks I'd assume.

Does anyone know ASW dates? Does anyone know their travel stipend policy?

[snapdragon25]

Does anyone know ASW dates? Does anyone know their travel stipend policy?

I emailed the admissions office last week and asked about this, and got this response:

The UT Law Admitted Students Day is March 20-21, with Friday being the most important day to attend. We start it on Thursday with some optional activities, primarily to allow people to travel from out-of town. For those who cannot attend in March, we have a 1-day mini-visit offered on April 4 and April 11.

After scouring last year's ASW thread and the admit thread, it looked like there wasn't a travel stipend but don't quote me on that.

Nothing special, but in state resident.

I honestly have no clue how my turnaround was so fast... I also got into NYU today after submitting 12/9.

[OsaroLJ]

I'm not gonna lie guys but you all have higher numbers than me but I'm not ashamed lol

GPA 3.6
LSAT 161
URM
Softs include a graduate degree and 4 years of professional experience.

I'm not sure if my case is relevant to the bulk of TLS members.

But I feel blessed just to be in this situation.

Congrats! Once you are in law school, the undergraduate GPA and LSAT are not going to matter one bit. You made it into a great school and that is certainly something to be proud of!
