Texas c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014 cycle) Forum

[Attax]

So I was expecting a facebook invite for accepted students today but haven't gotten on yet. Anyone get them today?

After I was admitted, I went to the three student FB pages and requested to join; I didn't receive any "invites" per se. Admins added me a few days later.

Could you provide links?

I PM'ed you the group I was invited to by Monica Ingram.

Thanks. Just got the email a second ago!

PM'd as well. There are at least three FB groups - the "Class of 2017", "Longhorn+" (for students with spouses/families), and "UT Law Housing", for people looking for a place to live, matching owners with renters, etc.

Good work guys. I also got the email invite.

Just got dinged this morning via email (8:47ET). A bit surprising...median LSAT and GPA above median/just below 75th. Strong softs, leadership, LOR, and non-URM. Already have a T14 acceptance. Being out of state definitely hurt. Aw, well..

Best of luck to everyone in this topic!

That sucks. I am learning that it is extremely difficult to predict this stuff and not to take it personally. Hope you get into a school you are happy with.

Thanks for the support! To all those curious, I went complete 10/17 and didn't hear anything up until the ding email.

Did anyone write a "Why Texas?" And if you did, did you send it directly to the school, or somewhere on the LSAC application ?

I didn't.

I didn't, but I think living in Austin and being a UT undergrad made a strong case for my "Why Texas?" in itself.

[PREXPRESS]

just got dinged this morning as well.

close to the median gpa, 25% percentile LSAT, CHYP education, URM. I'm also not sure if I got viewed as a resident or not…

Good luck to everyone else!

I live in Philly and have never been to Austin in my life lol. I don't know of things are very straightforward in this app process anymore.

Yeah, seeing LSN still shocked I was lucky to be admitted. If you come down for ASW (hoping you all get in!) we should do a TLS meetup!

[thechancellor]

Just got a request to submit a Why UT essay to add to my application, "in light of my non-resident status." Anyone else get this?

I didn't get it, but from my activity in the thread it definitely has been going out to a lot of OOS people.

Seems like being in-state is a pretty huge deal in light of some of the dings and acceptances.

FWIW I'm out of state and accepted straight off. I may be the exception though, not the rule.

They had to know they were letting me in. They wanted to be sure you got to meet me

But you have really good numbers, so I wasn't surprised to hear you got in.

Enabler haha.

Anyone: How long does mail take from Texas? I got accepted last Friday, and still no packet.

[cannibal ox]

I was accepted last Wednesday, but they said they mailed my packet Monday (status checker later updated to show I was actually admitted on Monday), and got the packet on Friday of that week.
