[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Texas received 92K apps and they weren't able to even look at most of them, despite having 3 months of time.  But they didn't tell the applicants until decision date (today) and now they are reviewing EA and RD applications together in one giant pool except for the tiny handful that they admitted today. 
Upshot: there was no advantage of getting the application in by Oct 15th.  In fact, there is likely a giant advantage to applying RD and having the extra 6 weeks to write essays. 
Most insane: they didn't even admit most of the in-state EA auto-admits (top 6% in state get auto-admitted) but they did admit some RD decisions today. 
Total cluster-f$%ck.

Auto-admits have all been told they are admitted, they are just waiting on the decisions about their preferred major. But yeah, my ds and I were just discussing this. I am glad he didn't scramble to get his app in by Oct 15 just to find out he had to wait another month to get an answer. He applied on the December 1st deadline for RD so will know on Feb 15 (unless they delay that too.) I don't think anyone was even outright rejected today. [/quote]
