…Go Cougars! University of Texas at Austin - Result: Waitlist. January 23, 2026 I was not expecting to hear from Texas this soon, and definitely not at 5:00 pm on a Friday of a fairly slow decision week.

I truly believe the scores get your foot in the door and your essays are what separate you from other applicants. Ultimately, my decision came down to UCLA, Michigan, Duke, and Virginia. I loved all four of their…
…employment can’t be made up with likely scholarship $. **Waitlists: ** **Northwestern **I withdrew. The cost would be too much and having to turn down an offer would hurt my soul. Pretty sure the WL was only because I applied ED with borderline R stats. **USC **Withdrew mid-may. They sent an email saying it was…
