how long between initial acceptance and scholarship letter? I was thinking about two weeks based on this thread and last year's thread, but it's closing in on three or four since I got the acceptance phone call. Is it just the holidays?

anyone accepted on or around 12/15 hear on scholarships yet? thanks!

Less then a week for me, but I was accepted in November.

They told me over the phone, and when I went and visited that it would be mid to late January.

Accepted 12/17, FWIW

I got one with 170/3.73 if that helps. Maybe call them tomorrow and ask?

Texas alumni here. to my fellow longhorn fellows, do you think it is ok to put "hook'em horns" at the end of my "WHY UT" essay?..

If this is a serious question: I wouldn't do that.

It is funny that you ask if it is "ok" rather than "a good idea" or similar. It makes it sound like it's something you really want to do on a personal level. Regardless, you should not do it, and hopefully you know why not.

I wouldn't do this, especially since it is "hook 'em horns" not hook'up horns, so it would definitely look out of place.

Lulz, I missed that.

Although I'm pretty sure that "Hook'up horns" has been the tag line for more than a few bar reviews this semester.

Thanks for the input everyone.

Well that was a typo.

I wasn't going to do that anyways.

Please do it. One less person taking my spot

I just got an e-mail asking for a "Why Texas". Is talking about how much I want to practice in Texas and how invested I am in Texas sufficient? Or should I focus on the reasons I specifically want to go to the Univ. of Texas?

Seems like you could connect the two, which is what you should do.

The folks getting a "Why Texas?" email, when did y'all submit?

I submitted in mid-October. I'm a URM though which seems to throw off time lines

How long did it take you to get a status checker email?

I got my status checker email about 3 days after I applied, acceptance call 2.5 weeks in.

I'm a LGBT URM and UT UG super splitter.

Dear UT,

Please give me a good scholarship. I can't deal with this cold weather any longer.

Sincerely, stillwaiting24.
