I am still unable to login to the application site.
This is frustrating!

Has anyone else email admissions about this issue? I was told that it was back up and running, but I still can't access the site to schedule my interview and I received an invite on 2/8.

I'm still having no luck, sent an email to interview@mccombs.utexas.edu about 5 hours ago to let them know that the site was down.

HenryHank- this has been a problem for you since the 8th? Did you try calling the office?

My interview went well- I just need to log in so that I can finish this process. Frustrating!

Hi Anneb ,
I have sent the ad-com an email an hour back. Will be calling them Monday morning to find alternate options if the website doesn't come up by then.

Guys, I have a question. I have never visited McCombs, and i was invited to interview. Do you think I could schedule my interview with an alumni in my city and still be considered???

Yes Arzad, that shouldn't be a problem at all. I never visited McCombs either - but interviewed online via Skype with a current student and got admitted too. So, don't worry about such things and just look forward to acing your interview :)

Since the system was down, I emailed adcom about not being able to schedule an interview. Today I got an email from a second year student, offering a Skype interview. I am a little surprised because I am based in California so I could easily fly to Austin for the interview or I could interview with an alum in the bay area. Also, since the system is up and running today, I can schedule my interview using the system. Donno why they offered a skype interview? Did anyone else receive a similar offer?

Prabhakar, congrats on your admission. My only concern is that you are based in UAE and I'm based in the US, so our cases are not comparable.

Hi Prasad,

I am an Indian applicant and I plan to fly to one of the cities for the interview (havent confirmed yet). Skype may save me a few $ on travel and stay and of course time. But if an interview with alumnus could add value , then why not ?
Is there any reason why you didnt schedule an interview with one? wherent there any alumni in your area/country? Just wondering as I am weighing the option between alumni/skpe.

Also, This may seem like an oft repeated question to you- Which round did you apply in ?

Thanks!!

Did you accept the skype offer or planning to go for an alumni interview?

I received a similar mail , but I prefer alumni interview to show my interest in McCombs and also to learn first hand more about a possible future school.

Any thoughts?

For those that applied R2, do you think we will hear back on Monday, even though it is a holiday?

Starting to get nervous about the decision date next week. Good luck to all that applied!

The guideline is "the week of the 20th", it was the same in R1. They left the option open to tell you anytime next week, even though in R1 some heard as early as late Friday night the week before. Most if not all people had heard back early that week.

No reason to get nervous. :-D


I have a feeling we won't hear much on Monday because it is a holiday and Texas is a public school. It's very possible some people may hear something on Friday like R1, and then I imagine they will likely pick up again on Tuesday.

So no admits on Friday. I guess we'll have to look forward to Tuesday now !
Although I did notice from ericguz's posts that he got the admit decision on a Sunday and the scholarship offer on Monday of the decision week.

Too quiet. I'm thinking they may be waiting until after the holiday to start calling. I checked my application online as well, no movement.
