The final application deadline for UT Austin and for Plan II Honors is January 15, 2009. Waiting until the last minute to complete your application is the fastest way to lower your chances of getting admitted to Plan II or to UT Austin.
If you received an email from UT Admissions this week reminding you that your Honors Application is incomplete, please pay very close attention to the instructions.
Critical note: there is a 48-72 hour lag from the time you submit ApplyTexas to the time you can access the on-line honors application and the teacher recommendation system. So, if you don't submit ApplyTexas until the last minute, you just may find that you're ineligible for Plan II....because you procrastinated. Don't do that!
DO NOT FAX OR MAIL ANYTHING TO PLAN II HONORS. That will add another day or two to the time. We cannot receive your application documents here. We must send them to UT Admissions.
Note too that, due to the number of documents submitting to UT Austin every day, UT Admissions processing is currently taking 7-10 working days to process paper application materials (transcripts, paper resumes, etc.). If you send something by mail, you need to assume 2-3 days for delivery (perhaps more with the holiday season), PLUS 7-10 working days for your documents to be assigned a unique ID number, logged and digitized.Check your Application Status page for updates. Do not call me or UT Admissions to see if a document is here. If you send it late, you wait until they get to it. It will show up on the status check when it has been processed.
Smart applicants will have all documents submitted before January 2, 2009. That's the group you want to be part of.......
