Any acceptance from UTAustin?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi All, we can relax (as much as possible) for the weekend because any acceptances from the May 2 meetings shouldn't be e-mailed until sometime next week (hopefully by Wed). For those of us still needing Genetics, there still appears to be spots for both summer sessions.

Looks like if I don't hear anything by Wednesday, I am going to have to take Calc 2 for my backup school (400 dollars! and 8:15 in the morning!).

It has been great meeting you all and I hope we will all be Longhorns finishing P1 this time next year! Congrats to UTPharmDude for doing just that!

I'm sure I'll be on here all weekend eventhough no news 'til next week 😱 .

I am not sure but I hope so. When I called today I was told that people who don't hear now will be put in for May 22 discussions. They may be sending a status update soon. Keep the faith :luck: ! I hope to see you all there!
 
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀

Enjoy the rest of your summer and look forward to meeting you all!!!
 
congrats!! i cant wait to meet all of the class of 2010!! anyone PM me if you are going to be looking for a roommate to live with in austin!! 😀
 
Oh my gosh, I got the e-mail too! I thought I had everything settled about where I would be in August, but now I'm thrown.

UTPHARMDUDE HELP! Can you tell me what your typical day has been like? What is the best thing about UT? The worst? Do you know anyone in other schools that you have been able to compare UT's program with? Hardest class in P1? Hardest of all years? I was warned about UT's pharmacokinetics class, that it gets a lot of people in trouble, true? Anything you can share would be great.

Edit: Oops, forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE! I was so me me me.

Congratulations --- this must be sooo exciting!!! I checked my e-mail... there was that 1 new email --- from Olive garden LOL! 😀

PharmDeb did you already receive your UT Main acceptance?

Yes, I think that was done on Monday or Tuesday. Did you? Or is it still saying that annoying msg that you're being reviewed like it has been saying for 2 months now.

Yeah my UT status is still "being reviewed"! And it's been that since December I think??? 🙁

Don't be discouraged. This school's application process is notorious for being slow and doing everything late in the game. We've all heard the horror stories about getting accepted within weeks of school starting.

Congratulations RachGator, MLe, and PharmDeb!!! You will LOOOVE UT and Austin 🙂 If you need help with places to stay near campus or anything, lemme know! 😀

No letter here I'm afraid, and I think I'm just going to give up on UT 🙁 Were you all from the last round of interviewees?

Thanks for your encouragement! 🙂 I've been telling myself: I'll go where I'm meant to be 😀

Enjoy your celebration tonite 🙂
 
Thanks for the support and congrats to my new classmates. I am right here supporting everyone who is still waiting so feel free to keep venting.

I interviewed during the April interviews.

No celebrating yet. I have a psych final at 9 am and 210 pages left to read. Blech!

Don't give up hope. There are still spots left for the rest of the class. Everyone should know soon. The next meeting (probably the biggest one) will be May 22 and hopefully you'll know less than a week after that.

I cant believe its almost 8pm... Ive been on this forum pretty much all day instead of studying for genetics! So addicted. K i should go work out now 🙂 and then study.

Good Luck on your psych final. I'm just glad u didnt have to sign up for the 8:15 class... that would have been such a waste of time and money.

Getting up and going to school really early everyday for three/four years is going to kill me. ( Can you do your internships at 24 hour pharmacies?) No matter how tired I am, I can't sleep until at least 2 am. One good thing about streaming video schools is that you can sleep in :laugh: . But, I am a procrastinator so I probably wouldn't watch the videos until the last minute anyway. (Looking for the positive aspects of getting up early 🙂.)

Good luck with genetics and luck to everyone else on your finals! Anyone totally done yet?
:luck:
 
Congrats everyone that got in 😀 You guys earned it 👍

Welcome to texas!!
 
see you all in austin 😀 (man, i've been waiting since feb!!) also, now looking for roommates/apts, PM if interested.

So, I guess we won't be classmates after all. Too bad. I wonder if you'll be the most senior member of the 2010 class at UT? Maybe if I get lucky on the last go-round of selections at UT we might still be classmates, but I'm already turning the shower on super hot and letting it run for hours to help me get used to the humidity in Kingsville.

Congratulations on your selection. You'll do great.

Hey Catspam! I haven't made a decision yet. I really didn't expect this. I wish we had better info on what to expect at Kingsville to help me decide.

If the group I interviewed with is an example of the class, then yes, I will be the only one with gray in my hair! :laugh: Your shower won't give you an adequate feel for the humidity down here, you'd do better to go find a sauna instead.

That's it. I'm resigning my position at UT in protest. 😡

Why would they torture such a terrific candidate and person as Genuine this way?

Genuine, regardless of what happens, I feel like I've known you for almost a year now, and I know what a terrific person you are. If you wouldn't make a great UT pharmacist, none of us would. I continue to hope and pray that I will see your face on our first day of class.

GENUINE RULES!!!!! 😎 😎 😎 😎

?como? what!!? they are making it harder for next year? is anyone else here not finished with a degree and is scared about next year? when i start in the fall i will have finished 84 hours--quite a bit short of my degree. is anyone else in this situation? does it make you more nervous?
 
oh my gosh that is sooo sweet 🙂 Thank you so much for the wonderful comments. I really do hope I hear from them sooner than later, and I guess I'll be wherever I'm meant to be.

I do realize UT had some "out of this world" candidates and that must make it really hard for the admission committe.

Either way, I'm still in Texas, and even if not at UT --- I'm positive I'll run into you guys def. in our professional world.

But dont resign your position at UT 😉 haha 🙂

I hope you are enjoying your summer and ready for the wonderful Austin life 🙂 If you like mexian food, you should check out hula hut --- its my fav. place at Austin 😀

Ya'll are just sooo nice... this is the perfect way for me to begin my saturday morning 🙂 I need to continue with my UT chant, maybe that's what I should write on my final papers as well:
UTUTUTUTUTUTUTUT

I bet the harder curriculum would be worth it... You guys would come out as the smartest in the nation! wooohoooo

8/28? I thought the orientation was sooner? 😕

starsweet,

the waiting time will come to an end pretty soon... for now try to concentrate on your final. I have to! Genetics on monday is going to kick my butt. So I'm going to turn off the computer and leave my house... otherwise I'll be glued to SDN rest of the day!

Good Luck and hope u hear from them soon :luck:

Hey Genuine, are you taking genetics at UT? Good luck on your final! :luck:

Can anyone let me know if they know which professor is best for genetics at UT? hopefully, I won't have to redo microbiology too 👎 .

And what is this about a harder curriculum. 😱 ? I noticed that the syllabi on the site were changing. Well, I guess we'll just have to cope together 😀 .
:luck: :luck:
 
My friends are all laughing and telling me my new screen name should be hornYgator :laugh: . My parents even laughed at that one.

Hey Rach,

No I'm from dallas so not takiing it at UT! I cant wait for the finals to be over. I'm about to start volunteering at Childrens medical center in dallas... super excited about that. (random thought)

Good luck in finding a good genetics prof. I know Vicky goes to UT so she should be able to suggest something... u might wanna PM her. Or any of the P1 students.

Oh i hope u dont have to take micro again... that was one hard class! But def. fun!

k headed to my volunteer orientation... woohoooo.

Thanks RachGator! I am glad that someone out of state got in, it gives me some hope. And it would be nice to take genetics together. Here's to hoping! 😀 If not, I will have to make peace with UGA. I am so thankful that I have choices!

It is really hard for a Gator to say anything nice about U Georgia but here I go: they would be really lucky to have a student like you. (But I am still rooting for Texas 🙂 )
