University of Texas at Austin

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I received my invite on Jan 25th. at 2:34pm (it was a Friday) from Ann and the interviews were exactly one week after on Feb 1st/2nd.

You don't know that! Don't lose hope! :luck: and I'm sure UT takes grades/PCAT into consideration when they make their final decisions. The interview is only one part of the application.

😆Maybe you're being serious but I think you're hilarious. Knick, you should do stand-up comedy if you don't get in!
Then again, maybe it's just way past my bedtime and I need to 😴

Seriously though, is it normal to check my email/sdn every 5 seconds to see if I or anyone else got accepted into UT... or do I have OCD?

you need to be more optimistic, knick. hopefully you weren't like this during the interview
 
Deferral emails for round 2 just came out. Look to see if you got one.
 
Did you get deferred? What about acceptances/rejections? If there's nothing in my email should I be worried???
 
Yeah I got one. 'Due to volume...you haven't been reviewed' yada yada. If you don't have anything I feel that may mean they've made a decision.
 
Oh that is not good. If they've made a decision and I don't have an email doesn't that mean only one thing... a rejection in the mail?
 
i had mine on Sat 03/08...Anyone from my date got acceptance? I remember Dr. Wilcox said something to our group that March 27th as a day to look for email notifications...oh, well, I'm gonna keep my hope for next week
 
Well by deferral I mean the 'we haven't gotten to your application letter so look for a reply after the next review session and so forth'. Acceptances for round 2 should come out next week but if you got the deferral email like me don't expect one.
 
So they don't send out deferral and acceptance notices together? I thought for sure if you got a deferral email, they would have sent out acceptance emails too. But no one else has heard anything, other than WillMadHarp???

evildarklord198... I interviewed 3/8.
 
For the last set, they sent out acceptances on Tuesday, deferrals on Wednesday, and rejection came in the mail shortly after that. I'm not sure if the online status check mentions that you are rejected. Hopefully rejections will also go out before acceptances.

During that day of acceptances, they seemed to trick out over the entire day. If anyone got in, they would have posted by now, so you'll have to wait until at least Monday (probably later) to find out.
 
Thanks for the info Knick. The wait is excruciating but I'll try my best to be patient without driving everyone on here nuts. I did the online status check... no change. Guess you didn't hear from UT?

Looks like one person got a rejection today:

Looks like UT is just trickling out the deferrals/rejections/acceptances as they decide... no news is good news I guess 😳
 
oh man that was some adrenaline rush...:scared: I really do hope no news means good news.

I haven't heard anything yet.

Aw crap, I'm starting to gain hope of being accepted. I do what I do on this forum so that I'm not let down too hard if I don't get into UT. That and because the odds are against me.
 
Oops, I'm too slow. I just wasted a post! How about a joke?

There is a big AMA convention in Pittsburgh, and a well known cardiologist is going to give a speech. When gets on stage and starts looking at the handwritten notes in front of him, he realizes that he can't make out a word that he had scribbled earlier. In a panic, he leans toward the microphone and asks, "Is there a pharmacist in the house?"
 
:laugh: Good one!

OMG! Optimism from knickerbocker! I think we have just witnessed a miracle!!!
 
Good luck to all of us. :luck:
and please post if you hear any news from UT!!
 
It's been exactly seven weeks, 49 days, since my interview. If I don't get accepted, it's one thing, but to have made me wait so long for an answer...
 
You're just going to have to deal with it. UT takes notoriously long to put together its classes. If you end up on the waitlist you could be waiting as long July. Two years ago a guy on the UT waitlist had signed for an apartment and was in the process of putting his stuff into boxes for the move to UH the next week when he finally got accepted.

Wow, I didn't realize it's been that long! I'm getting antsy at 2 weeks! Looks like next week is the week we'll find out though. Hang in there 😳
 
I wonder how many people will get acceptance letters next week...

Myself and probably 14 others will make 15. I think they do about 15 per review, not filling up the class too quickly so that they can review everyone.

(I'm trying a suggestion of believing that I will get in. Let's see if it works.)

That's the spirit!👍
I am hoping there might be more than 15...since UT didn't accept that many students after the first round.

Don't really know how the process works; all I can do now is keep my fingers crossed.

Good Luck guys hopefully all yall will get in...🙂
 
I hope I get to stick with this new avatar... If not, well, I have a backup that I would rather not use. :meanie:

Everyone should sit back, relax, and watch as I potentially set myself up for a big fall. :corny:

Aww, I liked the other avatar, but I guess this one suits you more seeing as you probably bleed orange!

Btw, I was thinking the same thing this morning... I'm not usually so optimistic about anything, but for some reason I have had this blind faith that I will get into UT (bad interview and all) and I think it's just set me up for an enormous fall come next week. I think it's becuase my family and friends all keep telling me that for sure I'll get in which, of course, will just make it harder to tell them all that I got rejected. 🙁
 
Man I need to stop checking SDN every hour!
Just curious, are you a UT student Tharper?

I'm right there with you. I went through a short phase after my interview where I felt exactly like Knick, but over the past week, I've convinced myself to be more positive. It's better than feeling like crap over something you can't change.
And if we fall, we'll all fall together, right? 😉

Nope, cc, 2 min down the road from me, boy will I miss that!

*sigh* yeah I guess... or everyone else will be posting "yeah I got in" and I'll be like "um, I got rejected."

*another big sigh* I really need to stop checking on here so often... nothing will happen on the weekend anyways.
 
Patience friend, Monday is almost here. 🙂
 
I hope that they really do look at each candidate as a whole. I feel that everything together makes me a very good candidate. I was nervous in my interview, but I feel that my answers were good, overall.

Surely I'll get accepted?
 
I feel/hope the same as you. I think you'll get accepted!🙂

Me three! Although one of my answers I should have answered better (stupid plan b) but still, it wasn't THAT bad of an answer. I thought the rest of my answers were really good. Hopefully they thought so too. They would always frantically write on their sheet of paper whenever I said something they liked and just stare at me when they didn't like my answer, which thankfully was not too often. I did forget to tell them some really good reasons why I'd make a good pharmacist though... doh! Stupid brain, doesn't work too well when I'm nervous.
 
I noticed the write/stare thing as well. It bothers me that some of my later answers that were good just got stares, like they didn't care or decided against me at the point. If that did doom me, it seems like they could have said something sooner than 50+ days after the interview.

Oh, so it wasn't just me. It almost seemed like, to me, they were looking for specific answers and if I didn't give them, they wouldn't write down the crap (in their opinion) that I said. In the end the P2 answered all my questions while the other interviewer wrote what looked like to me an essay, no doubt he furiously wrote all the reasons why I should not be admitted to the school, not just this year, but ever... (Ok, so I'm exaggerating a bit, but still.)

Anyway, this is getting me nowhere. I'm turning off my computer right now and I'm going to study. Good luck everyone.
 
I've decided to go away from here for the next two or three days. It was painful to not be a part of the acceptances last time, and it will be worse this time as I will probably have a final answer.

My avatar reflects the fact that I don't know what UT is going to say. Instead of posting anything, I'll just change my avatar to display my answer.
 
I keep having this feeling that tomorrow will be the day.
 
OMG!!! I, being the impatient f*** that I am, emailed Dr. Wilcox to ask him about the status of my application, and I just got an email from him...

I GOT ACCEPTED!!!!

I'm shaking so much right now, I can't believe it!!!

He said that formal acceptances will go out this PM so check your email everyone!!!
