Anyone knows the chance of acceptance WITHOUT being invited to their open house?

Lololol. Definitely expected but worth a shot. Not impressed with having to get the decision on the portal and not via email.

MS IN CS. EXCITED :)

Apply for PhD, accepted as MS

Awarded a Graduate School Recruitment Fellowship.

Email to check website. Pretty terse rejection letter on site. Three other offers (including an Ivy) so no big deal. Congrats to all admits.

Received during visit to the school.

Checked the status in MyStatus: "Denied". Also, "This is your official notification. A letter will not be mailed to you." Thank guys here for suggesting I should check the website.

Expected

Checked the website randomly and got this lovely message:rn"Your application has been given careful consideration by the committee on Graduate Studies. On the basis of their recommendation, your application has been denied.rnWe wish you well in your future plans and sincerely appreciate your interest in The University of Texas at Austin.rnThis is your official notification.

No email. Just an update on the website. "Your application has been given careful consideration by the committee on Graduate Studies. On the basis of their recommendation, your application has been denied. We wish you well in your future plans and sincerely appreciate your interest in The University of Texas at Austin.

If the Ling anthropology person from UT Austin is going to drop. please let me know, it is my dream school

Thanks!- poster from below- I didn\'t contact any of the professors before the recruiting visit, all of my interactions with them were during this visit. The recruiting weekend consisted of many \"interviews\" with professors, but it didn\'t feel too high pressure, it was mostly seeing who had research interests that were well in line with mine. I was lucky to find a prof that seemed to be a big fan of my interests, so I\'ll be working for him if I choose to accept (UT\'s acceptance process requires the offer to come directly from the potential future PI). I can only speculate as to if all offers have been given, but based on last year\'s stats and the fact that there were about 20 people at the recruiting weekend, my best guess is that anyone that wasn\'t there for the recruiting visit isn\'t going to be getting an offer, and for those that were, offers will be coming soon.

to all the friends here who posted regarding UT Austin, thank you for saving me from wondering :) :(
