To the poster asking about UT, I was sent an email after inquiring about the process last week and was told I was waitlisted. I have my suspicions that they took maybe 1-2 students or none at all in the Sociocultural Anthropology track; I was accepted to several schools which I thought were much more difficult reaches (Ivys and others included) and imagined I would get into UT. I'd love to know if anyone did in fact get admitted to that track; otherwise, maybe UT should put up a notice that clearly states that they are/ are not taking students in certain tracks on a given year and save us the application money?

same as others :(

No email notification to check the portal. Just happened to log in tonight to see that my application was denied. Stone cold: "Your application has been given careful consideration by the committee on Graduate Studies. On the basis of their recommendation, your application has been denied." Congrats to anyone who got in to UT though!! There are some really great professors there doing amazing things and it's a great program. Go do amazing things guys!

Not super surprised, this was definitely a reach for me coming straight out of undergrad and I figured this would be the decision when my friend got a waitlist notification a few days ago. Grateful for the kindness of the faculty I spoke with along the way and wish the best of luck to those waiting to hear back!

no email, figured that I'd been rejected since no news, but still quite rude to not send an email at least. not impressed.

Just checked the portal as noted by this board. no email. " your application has been denied." I never heard such a rude rejection...wasted my application fee

Didn't receive any kind of mail, I just checked their website and the rejection was there.

Anyone who got accepted but is not intending to attend UT Austin, please decline your offer! Possibly my one solid chance to get an acceptance.

To the UT Austin poster below, how did you know that you've been waitlisted? I've sent an email to the coordinator and she gave back the answer

There was no email. I just checked the portal like everyone else and saw a status decision posted at the top.
