In via text message with Cow emojis !!!!!!! Jk . Nice phone call!!! So pumped



LSAT: Above 75
GPA: Below 25
URM: YEUP

Have you gotten the transfer papers ready from Galatasaray, wes?

Well, it is either UT or a term with Arsenal (most likely). we shall see

Ah, well, it's either being ridiculed by your contracts professor or Alexis Sanchez for not having enough passion. I trust you'll pick well.

But really, man, congrats!

This is the best exchange I have ever read on TLS. Also-- Wes seems like he's trading one Oranje for another eh?

As a diehard Arsenal fan, this exchange just made me certain that UT is the place for me

[pixalia]

Does anyone know which schools' scholarship offers UT will consider when negotiating? Is it only T14? T20?

[tizzy2728]

Got my scholarship email yesterday and they offered me...nothing

I didn't realize that Texas was my #1 until I got in, but now I'm super bummed. If anyone has any suggestions on how to proceed given the following, I'd appreciate it:

OOS 3.3 169
Only applied to a handful of schools with the specific programs/regional industry I'm looking for, so my acceptances so far are: Colorado w/ $$$ and Tulane w/$$$. Waiting on SLS and NYU, which are obviously no-gos. WL at Georgetown. Will UT even care that I have offers the #40 and #50 school? Should I wait to hear if I get off the waitlist at Georgetown and use that? Wait until after the first deposit is due as they get more money in from admits going elsewhere? UT only does a one-time scholarship review, which makes this a bit more fraught.

HALP! And if there's a better thread elsewhere for this just let me know!

Chelsea fan here. Ready to park the bus

As a UT student and a Liverpool fan, I'm used to being on the outside (of the t14/top 4) looking in, but the future looks bright.

So they notify us even if we don't receive any scholarship $$? I'm hoping to at least receive the in-state waiver most people have been getting.

Yep! I also got the email confirmation from UT Austin that I would not be receiving any merit $$ and withdrew shortly thereafter. I could have pushed for $$ with competing offers, but given I don't have much long-term interest in living/working in TX, I figured it was best to gracefully bow out.

[txaggie16]

WL'd today. I guess I can pay a seat deposit at another school and then withdraw anyway if I get into UT?

That's exactly right. And if you want any tips on writing a LOCI, I'm happy to share what I've done FWIW.

+1 to this question. I doubt anyone knows though.

[happydragonblessus]

Anyone still waiting for initial decision? Complete on Jan 20. Do i need to write an email? Thx.

Totally! I live on the west coast and it came in at 5:30AM. I applied really late into the cycle and UT is the only school out of the 6 that I applied to that has made a decision. Now I just have 5 more schools to wait for...*fingers crossed.* Really excited about UT though!

[Lynched.Pin]

Checking in. Wait-listed. 3/164. Hope one of you over-achievers gets a better deal.

It's not a friendly year for lower LSATs with UT this year, so don't feel bad. Except for a few I've seen, anyone with an LSAT under median (167) isn't getting much love.

I can only hope that everyone above me gets a full ride to a better ranked school. So the best of luck to us all.

In all honesty my application was later in the cycle and didn't help with the Feb retake. I might just go for it again in June and try to get on the ED list next year.

[badpoeticjustice]

On the WL since January, sent in a LOCI about two weeks ago. Pretty sure I'm still hanging on because of my application strength but my LSAT is under median. Retaking in June but I was an idiot and forgot to mention it in the LOCI. Should I send a brief e-mail?
