Word of warning to future applicants-- use extreme caution when applying to this program. All students, whether accepted or rejected, have had to wait until today for their decision. No communication of the delay or justification was given by the department and graduate admissions (a separate entity) will wash their hands of the issue as soon as they forward the materials to the review committee. If UT Austin is the ONLY university you plan to attend then it makes perfect sense to apply and wait for their decision. However, if you're applying to multiple universities you should understand that UT has no policy obliging them to make decisions by a specific date. If you are accepted to another university with a commitment deadline, there's little reason to expect UT to release their decision in time. In other words, if you aren't prepared to hold out on other offers and drop everything to move to Austin, TX within 3 weeks, your application is effectively a direct donation to UT.

After > 7 months, a rejection with no explanation at all. ACSES Track Applicants for next year, please find out from them if they are actually going to enroll anyone or not. There seem to be no admits at all. Waste of time, money and efforts. Auto reply emails from graduate program coordinator. Didn't expect this from UT Austin ECE.

When the ACSES track results weren't declared by April 15, I expected it to be a rejection anyway. It's fascinating that it took them so long. Did anyone get ACSES admit for Fall 2020 or is this a mass rejection?

ACSES track. Generic reject. Better late than never i guess. Future international students be informed whether they are acutally providing this track for you. Such information is conveniently missing while you are going through application process.

ACSES track after all these months. Generic rejection response. Disheartened.

Status updated: Denied

TTPB: I swear. I mean $90 for nothing? Graduate school office does not respond, program coordinator won't stop automated reply. They're really take our time, effort and money for granted. Applying is not an easy job.

What is up with UT's ACSES admission committee? Still haven't received my result. I'm going to call them to find out as I will just have to goto different Grad school if they cannot give me the result anytime soon.

ACSES applicant here. The few days promise is a joke. No one from the University is willing to respond. Tried checking with someone studying in the department and heard results are delayed due to COVID. Why don't they just send a circular or something if they're not taking in new students? PhD applicants here, have you spoken to any Prof before applying who might know what to expect? I think it's time we initiate a group mail with the University graduate office.

I mailed Barry regarding the admission results and he says he does not know Sh*t when the results will be out. We understand that due to current situation there can be delays but this is highly unacceptable from such a prestigious university. Sorry to say but their Grad Team is full of Sh*t and highly unprofessional. F**K this university.

This is for 2021 winter. Showed deny on website.

TTPB: Even I'm yet to get the results

I too didn't get the admission decision. I applied for PhD in Computer Architecture. Did anyone get the decision?

Is there anyone who didn't get the decision yet for other tracks than ACSES? I also got the reply from Barry last Tuesday and was told that the decision will be made within few days.

TTPB: What's your track? Can you paste the response you got from the Grad Coordinator? Also, did you get your decision?

Finally, the result will come! the program coordinator replied to my email. In the email, he stated all ECE admission results will come in this week. All future students will receive results. Feel free to connect with the school if you don't receive a result in a week.

The Graduate School of Engineering at Northeastern University received a strong number of applications from highly qualified applicants to the PhD in Electrical Engineering program offered via Northeastern's Boston campus. Unfortunately, we can not accept you into this program at this time. If your status in the aforementioned program changes, you will be notified. I hope that you are able to make arrangements for future studies that are acceptable to you.

My first admit this season. Really appreciate this chance.
