Your Application and the Application Decision

Successful applicants will be those who, in the judgment of the faculty admissions committees, show the greatest promise for success as graduate students in our program and as professionals after graduation. We do not employ arbitrary threshold or minimum values for such factors as GRE scores or GPA to determine which applications are evaluated for admission, nor do we have geographic preferences or quotas; all applications are considered carefully on the basis of all required materials mentioned on our Admissions Instructions page.

To find out the status of your application you can check your My Status Page.

Interviews are REQUIRED for MA/PhD and PhD applicants ONLY. Master's and Au.D. applicants are NOT required to interview, but an open house event CSD Info Day will be available if you wish to visit our program.

ADMISSION DECISIONS are typically announced the second week of March prior to UT Austin closing for Spring Break. Decisions are announced on your MyStatus Page regarding our decision of either ‘ADMIT’ or ‘DENY’. Those students who may be placed on a 'waiting list' will have their admission decision posted on the MyStatus Page after all those admitted in early March have responded with a decision.

PLEASE NOTE: Applications for Teaching and Research Assistantships are emailed in May to ONLY those students who are admitted and accept our offer. Those students who will receive an assistantship will be notified in August prior to Fall semester enrollment.
