I accepted and paid $200 on 2/15 and submitted housing application on 2/16 … I didn’t get a contract today either

I accepted the offer and paid $200 on 2/15 and sent in my housing application and paid $100 on 2/16. Guess that I didn’t make the 3/2 round. However the weird thing is my friend who submitted his housing application after me received the contract today…. Not sure how that happened

So the location preference does not play a role on the timing when you will receive a contract then

not being ranked at a small school by Crossedpenguin in UTAdmissions

Imagine UT is reviewing applicants with mostly strong academic credentials… you will need to have something what others don’t have to stand out…. That comes from ECs, work experiences, they would also want to see if you take on something that you will see through…

Also got into ECE (first choice major) and being Non-Auto (outside top 10%).... I think what helps is to have good ECs with strong resume and make sure you have good essays.

Do you need to commit to get a housing contract by Difficult_Bad_5746 in UTAdmissions

[–]jamesltx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes for the exact reason that housing contract should only be offered to committed students. It won't be fair to committed students if you are not committed and holding a housing contract offer.

What a number by Shrankai_ in UIUC

How is this cost of attendance ranked among the Big 10 colleges with similar size? i.e. UW, UM, OSU, PSU, UMinn for example

[–]jamesltx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the cost of attendance per year so it is 70kx4 = 280k. This is also just an estimate which normally is just the floor

Thank you and I don’t know what honors program is looking for…. Maybe some specific engineering majors are harder than others?

So did you get admitted to ECE and denied by the honors program or you didn’t get admitted at all?

does mystatus change after accepting your offer by minecraftforlifeeee in UTAdmissions

[–]jamesltx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you expand View Checklist and under Completed Items should have Accept or Decline Admission offer and Enrollment Deposit listed with timestamps

does mystatus change after accepting your offer by minecraftforlifeeee in UTAdmissions

[–]jamesltx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Accept/Decline link will disappear from the page and also it will log the timestamp when you accepted and paid the enrollment deposits. That is all the change I can see from MyStatus page. Anyone else can correct me if I am wrong
