University of Texas C/O 18 Applicants Forum

Dinged. Anybody know if they have a GPA floor? I'm concerned if it's because my GPA is too low or if my application is shit. 2.45/172. I'm still waiting on 10 schools so I'm debating if I should try and update my application with Why essays and Diversity Statements and shit like that. If it's just my GPA is too low then well whatever nothing I can do about that.

There is no gpa floor. I was offered money with a lower GPA. I did submit a diversity statement and an addendum with my app.

Are you a URM? Was your LSAT higher? WE/super sorts? OOS?

I'm an in state UMR. >2.2 GPA, <172 LSAT. International work and volunteer experience.

How long after being accepted did people receive scholarship info? And is it by mail or email?

S/He's going to law school, why would you expect him to be able to read? (sarcasm)

As far as I can tell, not a lot of movement from UT this week.. Anyone hear anything? Specifically other held ED applicants?

I was held from ED. Nothing here.

[idissent]

I guess it's just been a horribly slow week? LSN only has 1 admit, 1 waitlist, and 1 ding this week.

[rkspurs21]

same, as a held ED applicant. Guessing it's been a busy week, just not on the actual decisions front.

Does UT seldom offer fee waivers? I didn't apply to my own alma mater because of this lol. Or do they do something similar to Columbia, and wait until the final weeks to gratuitously hand them out?

I know they offered fee waivers to all in-state applicants early in the admissions process (Sept/Oct).

I got a fee waiver email the day after I applied

I got one (OOS) back in October but the e-mail said that applications must be in before November 1. I missed that deadline and was prepared to pay but LSAC indicated that the fee was waived.

Also held ED, also no movement.

Movement! I bet that's a great sign.

Movement! I bet that's a great sign.

Yes, it is considering they've had my app for 3 months.

Does anyone know when and how scholarship offers come?

[Ron Don Volante]

another friendly reminder to check your spam folder for scholarship emails. No way I would have ended up at UT had I not noticed the letter had been sitting there for a month.

[lawschool1741]

Does anyone know when and how scholarship offers come?

Month-ish after decision, via email.

[keepsmiling1230]

Checking in here. Submitted my app on 1/20 and still waiting for results.

I am an international student but currently attending my undergraduate school in Houston.

I LOVE TEXAS.

[sheishkabob]

I also got the email to write a why UT. Went complete mid December, out of state

[rkspurs21]

Three months this week since I was rolled over from ED. It was my first application submitted. Not a word since then. I'm hoping the Why Texas requests mean we'll all see some movement soon.
