Texas 2011 Applicants Forum

So is there a consensus on whether or not RD applicant who submitted early are considered with EA applicants??? I saw some people alluding to this. For whatever reason (my own stupidity really) I checked RD instead EA. I've been complete since early October though... No phone call, no hold email... 3.71/172... so I'm hoping it's not a ding... getting nervous though. I'm hoping i'm just being considered with the RD's at this point haha.

Are you a Texas resident?

I seriously doubt it's a ding, unless YP.

Dinged via snail mail.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I was hoping you would get good news, you seemed so invested. Good luck with the rest of your cycle. You have a second number one choice?

Thanks. I would ED to UVA, but since I can't stay in Austin my fiancee is going to have to move with me, and I don't know if there are any options as far as her transferring her job in Charlottesville. It looks it will probably be SMU or U of H, which is fine.

Dallas is pretty nice, that's my hometown. The job market is good there, LCOL, and the SMU campus is really pretty. Not sure about U of H. Houston gives me the heebie-jeebies.

[Marionberry]

I have a strange affinity for Houston, so I would be happy there too. And I might even get some scholarship money at either of those schools, which would be pretty nice. Good luck to everyone else!

Sorry to hear you were ding'ed Marionberry. You and I submitted fairly early, missed the wave of acceptance calls and the hold emails. Looks like I might be subjected to a snail-mail ding as well.
But, if it was going to be a ding, at least it's still relatively early. You still have time to submit other applications at a decent time and also make plans with your fiance's employment. I've also got a working SO, so transferrability issues will also influence my decision (once I start hearing back..... cricket.... cricket...) Good luck with the rest of your applications!

Sorry to hear that bro. Best of luck with the rest of your cycle.

@marionberry did they update your status check or email you or anything before you got the letter? UT w/ the blindside mail ding would be a mean move!

[Marionberry]

No status update, no email.

[ihp12]

No status update, no email.

Since you're in Austin and I'm in Houston, I guess its just taking an extra day for me to get my snail mail ding. I'm sure you'll get into SMU and UH with a ton of cash to boot.

[CMDantes]

Dinged via snail mail.

Damn man I was pulling for you. Sucks to hear.

Keep your spirits up, I'm sure you'll get SMU or better.

[Hannibal]

Submitted for Tejas last night. I hope they aren't TOO splitter averse.

Denied at UT via status checker today. 162 / 3.91. I am from Austin and love UT so this one stung a little. Good luck to everyone else.

[nonprofit-prophet]

i applied early and i still haven't heard anything. I thought I'd be a lock, after looking at last year's LSN graph. starting to worry i've been dinged. Has anyone been rejected with a 167 3.8?

[wildcathighfive]

i still haven't heard anything either, nonprofit prophet. i think they're deciding whether to keep us around or not...

At least Texas is getting acceptances/dings out early. I appreciate expediency in a school (looking at YOU Cornell).
