I'm really kicking myself regarding residency. I was born and raised in Texas, graduated high school and undergrad there, and was a Texas resident when I joined the Navy. I could have kept TX residency throughout my career no matter where I was stationed. But about fifteen years ago, I switched my residency to Virginia so my wife could get in-state tuition here (this was back before the law changed to allow spouses to automatically pay in-state tuition in whatever state the service member is stationed). If I'm accepted to UT, I'll still pay in-state because of the GI Bill, but in the meantime, that doesn't get me around the 35% out-of-state maximum admission rule.HYSenberg wrote:Haha that's crazy. Yeah I moved here early this year and bought a house, which is my primary residence, so I know I should qualify, but they are definitely taking their sweet time in processing my status. It's a shame because UT is one of my top choices and I'd like some finality early in this cycle without it being a whole drawn out affair.BVest wrote:If you moved to Texas earlier this year (before the semester started) and you're not in school, you should qualify (at least as I understand the rules), especially if you had some other reason to move here. But at the same time, yours will be a closer case and may take more time. Also, the standard of proof for residence is clear and convincing.HYSenberg wrote:I moved to TX earlier this year and am still awaiting a clarification on my residency status. I should definitely qualify. . .
I've lived in Texas all but one year of my life. That one year occurred fifteen years prior to my applications to law schools (during which time I had lived, worked, attended public universities as a resident, married (a state professional licensee), started a business, and bought a house, all in Texas -- all of which is acceptable evidence of residency). Still, straightforward answers about where I graduated from high school confused the heck out of UH and led to (1) delays in processing my application and (2) a generous offer of in-state tuition as a pot sweetener once I was accepted (several weeks after my residency had been confirmed).

No offense to our two drive-by posters in this thread, but has anyone heard of any *other* acceptances (or rejections) anywhere else? I know that LSN only represents a fraction of applicants, but there haven't been any decisions for UT reported this cycle.

I was creeping on the #utlawschool and #utlaw hashtags on Instagram and I know two people were accepted.

Thanks! I've been seriously over-obsessing on LSN, TLS, UT website, and other ways to see who's been accepted... I JUST WANT IN SO BADLY!

Well I probably won't find out earlier than April. I'm retaking in February and hopefully that'll definitely get me in!

There are only a few (less than 5) people on Facebook so far, so I'm not surprised there haven't been many reports...
3.5/171, out of state and non-URM. I was early decision.
Good luck everyone!

In! via RD. Found out via status checker.
Had a missed call yesterday from a 512 number, but no voicemail. Should've guessed.

Congrats! Hopefully this is the start of a wave of pre-Thanksgiving acceptances. Would you mind posting roughly where you were relative to their 25/50/75th numbers?Vursz wrote:In! via RD. Found out via status checker.
