MyStatus: Your Gateway to Application Nirvana (or Maybe Just Anxiously Waiting)
UT Austin uses a magical little portal called MyStatus, which is basically your application's personal therapist. It will hold your hand (virtually, of course), tell you if anything is missing from your application, and, most importantly, reveal your glorious acceptance...eventually. Here's the thing about MyStatus:
- It's your BFF: Bookmark it, memorize the login, write it on your forehead – you get the idea. MyStatus is where you'll find all the juicy details about your application.
- Patience is key: While MyStatus might not deliver acceptance letters with the speed of a cheetah on Red Bull, it will update you on the progress. Just avoid refreshing it like your life depends on it. (Spoiler Alert: It doesn't.)
Important Note: You can only access MyStatus after you've submitted your application. So, if you haven't applied yet, get cracking!
Decoding MyStatus: It's Not Rocket Science (But It Can Feel Like It Sometimes)
MyStatus uses a fancy system of statuses to keep you informed. Here's a quick breakdown:
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
- "Application Received": You're in the system! Now, MyStatus will become your best friend (see above).
- "Materials Received": Transcripts, test scores, the whole shebang – they've all arrived and are being reviewed (hopefully with admiration!).
- "Decision Made": The big kahuna! This means UT Austin has made a decision on your application. Deep breaths!
Remember: Don't panic if your status takes a while to update. The admissions committee is reading through a ton of applications, and they want to give each one the attention it deserves.

How to access MyStatus?
You can't access MyStatus until you submit your application. Once you do, you'll receive an email with login information within a few days.
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
How often should I check MyStatus?
There's no need to live on the MyStatus page. Check it periodically for updates, but don't become a refresh addict.

What if my application status hasn't changed in a while?
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.
Patience, grasshopper! The admissions committee is busy, but if you're truly concerned, you can always contact the Office of Admissions for an update.
How will I be notified of the final decision?
Your official decision will be posted on MyStatus. You won't receive anything in the mail (unless it's a giant congratulations pi�ata, which would be pretty awesome).
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
How do I stay calm while waiting for my decision?
Distract yourself! Hang out with friends, binge-watch your favorite show, take up interpretive dance (hey, whatever works!). Focusing on other things will make the wait feel shorter.
So, there you have it! With a little patience and some humor, you can navigate the world of MyStatus without losing your mind. Now, go forth and conquer that application (and maybe take a nap – you deserve it!).
