[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just when I thought UTK was running away with the 2024 award for worst application decisions process VT one ups them with this stunt[/quote]

:lol:

It is definitely a "hold my beer" move.[/quote]

What did UTK do? [/quote]

Somehow their early decision system synced to the self reported grade and SAT updates done by students applying to VTs later deadline, showing a bunch of ED applicants as submitting late, kicking them out of the ED cycle and into regular admissions.  When results came out, all those kids who also applied to VT got letters from UTK saying their applications were moved from ED to regular decision due to missing the ED application deadline, even if they submitted months ago and had confirmation from UTK that their ED applications were in and complete.

There is a really long thread on college confidential about it.

They managed to fix it and have the acceptances, scholarships, deferrals and rejections out by 7PM the next day.[/quote]
