sorry followers....I let the blog down. Admissions got the better of me this spring. I was just way too busy to add something new. But we had a wonderfully successful, if crazy admissions season. And, most important, we have a terrific entering freshman class of just the right size to show for it.
But, I'm turning over a new leaf and getting back on the blog-wagon for the fall 2010 applicants.
Here we go:
We are looking at some changes in the Plan II admission world for the fall 2010 applicants:
1) A new, much earlier deadline: December 15, 2009;
2) A priority application deadline of November 1, 2009. (We have discontinued the Early Consideration application option.)
3) The required electronic teacher recommendation is discontinued. Plan II will not require a recommendation letter. Recommendation letters will not be a primary component of the Plan II review process.
Applicants may have teacher submit letters to the UT Admissions office (via US mail), but letters will not be required to complete a UT or a Plan II application. It's important to note here that as soon as the required documents are complete, Plan II will move the file into the review process.
The on-line application APPLYTEXAS is expected to be live on August 1, 2009.
I encourage interested seniors to register for a Plan II information session and visit us. The reservation links and details about the sessions, visiting, dates, parking, etc. are all at VISIT PLAN II
Plan II is education without boundaries. It is a four-year degree that leads from a broad core curriculum in the early years to a student's own choice of coursework in the later ones. Small classes and a common curriculum develop a sense of intimate community, while the size of The University provides an enormous range of freedom to pursue a variety of interests, and the student services and organizations, the library facilities and a computing infrastructure to do it quite well.
