For those who got waitlist emails, what/who's email address sent it to you? Was it a person's email address or a "do not reply" email address? I'm trying to figure out where my wait list email is...I emailed Dr. Wilcox on Wednesday and he said that he was still talking with the Dean about students on the list, which included me, and would send me an email by the end of the week. I still haven't gotten one and I see the others on here have...I don't want to be too bothersome so I not going to contact Dr. Wilcox again until Monday, though I wonder what's going on...

The email wasn't personalized. It was sent from [email protected]

Have you not received ANY response (waitlist or deny)?
 
No. Which puzzles me because others on here SINCE Wednesday have gotten either denials or waitlist. I haven't gotten anything. And I basically know I haven't been outright denied from the response that Dr. Wilcox gave me on Wednesday.
 
Man, it sure is unfortunate that someone can sit on their acceptance until around May 1st without committing to being accepted. I hope there are some diligent people who if are planning on declining do so sooner than that so we can get this waitlist moving! :thinking:
 
has anyone on the waitlist got a followup email with your position on the list? I'll probably email them tomorrow, but I wanted to check.​

May 1st? I thought you had to respond within a week of receiving the acceptance email.

Well the deposit is not asked for until mid April and I think they have until about the end of April to submit the $200 University Deposit. Meaning that an applicant isn't really financially committed to their acceptance until around that time.

Oh gotcha. Haha how do you know all this? I feel like I'm always in the dark lol
 
During the closing of my interview, Dr. Wilcox said that they ask for a University Deposit in April in the amount of $200
 
Does anyone know when we should hear back on financial aid? As much as I love Austin, I'm trying to debate whether or not it will be financially worth it to pay twice as much to attend Texas compared to UNC :/
 
I've applied to UT undergrad in the past (the financial aid office is the same as the CoP) and financial aid rewards do not come until June/July.
 
If those on the waitlist haven't heard back about your position on it, you can email Dr. Wilcox. Currently #3... hoping and praying I have a chance.

Deadline is March 15 but the earlier you send in your FAFSA and whatnot, the earlier you will hear back.
 
Turns out I'm in position #2 on the waitlist. Jeez, this application process is going to keep me on the edge until the very end isn't it? Lol, I'm hoping for the best.

To those currently admitted, when and where do you do the background check and drug test and how much will it cost?

Since you are #2 on the waitlist, do you only need 2 people to drop to get in?
 
It depends....UT wants a class of 125 students and so I think they sent around 140 invitations with the expectation that around 15 will decline. So once declines make the class dip less than 125, people will be pulled from the waitlist.
 
Hey, guys, I have a favor to ask. At the interview, in the folder they gave us, there was a sheet in there about how to apply for FAFSA depending on if you will have a bachelor's or not. I forgot to bring that folder back with me for spring break, and I was wondering if anyone who has that sheet could maybe scan and post it here or something. I would really appreciate it, thanks!

can you fill out the form and submit it even if you haven't been accepted to UTCOP yet?
