In today! The wait was worth it. Super stoked!

Edit: I was admitted via phone so obviously not a lot of info given like an email. Do I have to fill anything special out for scholarship consideration/email anyone like cornell/georgetown require?

Unless something has changed, I believe that the first deposit of $200 cannot be done by using a VISA credit card. So if you're waiting until the last minute to deposit, factor that into your plans (pretty sure they take AmEx and MasterCard though?).

And Discover, I think.

Speaking of which, this is the perfect time to get a new credit card to collect on some awesome promotions. Use it for school visits, and you keep the points even after you get reimbursed. The start of law school also has a lot of necessary purchases that will let you rack up points quickly.

There are several cards with $0 annual fee that will give $100 cash back if you spend $500 in the first 3 months. You'll easily spend that much for new apartment essentials, casebooks, etc.

Curious as well, and did you submit a LOCI at any point?

Yeah, UT has been on a weird anti-Visa kick since I was in grad school which was a long time ago.

I got waitlisted about 2 months ago and didn't respond to the email because it said that with no response I would be taken off the waitlist. You can imagine my surprise when I got an acceptance email this week! :D :D :D

Yeah how do we find out about the admitted students weekend? Is it really next week? I couldn't find any information about it on the website (I'm probably just not trying hard enough). I was also just admitted via voicemail! Submitted early Jan.

Well congrats to all you new admits, also congrats to those already being pulled from the wait-list. Something weird is going on in Austin this year(not necessarily bad but weird compared to past cycles)

Anyways I wish you all luck as future Longhorns! Wish I was joining you!

I opened the above page and found myself logged in!! then soon realized that everyone with a checker ID could enter this...

still waiting for my initial decision. International student, a much more difficult cycle for us.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
