[quote=Anonymous][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.

92k apps doesn’t seem like a crazy number considering UCLA receives 165,000 and NYU receives over 100,000.

That’s kind of a nuts statement by Texas.[/quote]
They received 73, 000 applications last season. A near 20,000 application increase is substantial. UCLA has had massive application numbers forever. That’s an eye watering amount of apps for most admissions departments. [/quote]
