This thread is dedicated to the applicants of UT Houston's Spring 2012 application period. I've seen various threads posted throughout the discussion forum regarding the upcoming application period, but they are scattered and hard to keep track of. Maybe if we keep our discussion in one place it will be easier for us all to follow :)
I'm applying with the following stats:
Pre-req GPA: 3.21
Science GPA: 3.66
Overall GPA: 2.81
I know my chances of getting in aren't great with my overall GPA, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway! Please post your stats, your thoughts, your experiences, ideas and opinions here:)
In past forums they couldn't figure out the rhyme or reason to how they updated UTLink so I think it may be random. They probably get a stack of applications to update and just go through them.
ready hasn't confirmed the first letter in last name...so it's hard to know if its random or in order.
My last name starts with an A... so maybe it is alphabetical. Or maybe its still random? I have no idea, I don't even know if getting additional holds is significant? Does anyone know?
Several people that have been accepted in past semesters (if you read the forums on here) reported that their holds changed (increased) BEFORE they knew anything (and while UT Link still said they were awaiting a decision). Two weeks later, everyone who had a hold increase got a letter. Those whose holds remained at the 2 standard holds (CPR and immunizations) received denial letters. So yes, it is VERY significant. I think it is an unintentional thing on their behalf, like they update their systems before they officially announce you're accepted. Not sure, but don't bother calling them about it, because they won't tell you anything.
