Your profile is exactly similar to mine. Only difference is I didn't go to an Ivy - but went to a top 30 private university on the east coast.

I was admitted R3. Tell a good story, and you should have a good shot.

If you are applying PT as your profile says, it will probably be quite a bit less competitive than the full time program.

Rodrigo just wrote up an admissions update on the MBA Insider blog, and it included some info I thought would be useful for WL candidates:

"Any updates to your application (i.e. improved test scores or significant change in employment status) should be emailed to MBAWaitlist@mccombs.utexas.edu by April 1, 2013. We expect to begin reviewing our waitlist at the end of April 2013 and will update you on the application status by early May."

Kind of funny that the instructions to send updates "by April 1, 2013" was posted on April 3.

Did anybody receive some sort of confirmation after submitting the video interview for WL update? I went to the video recording website and my interview is there but nothing else on if the institution has received it, etc.

Hey there,

I believe I got an email confirmation from the site saying that once it's live it's also available to the institution, so I would assume yours is also available. Other than that, the only confirmation I received from the school was when I sent my email update - whence they replied that they received my updates and nothing else.

Good luck!

I was waitlisted on Monday but didn't hear anything back regarding the video interview? Does anyone know when they reach out to you?

I didn't hear anything either, and am wondering the same thing. This whole process has left me pretty frustrated.

How did everyone like preview weekend? I loved it. Austin blew me away and I think I'm really going to enjoy my time there. All of the students (both prospective and current) that I met were really cool too. Hope everyone who was on the fence commits, it's going to be an awesome two years.

I had a great time! And now I've got a list of about 50 clubs and organizations and programs I want to do that I have to start winnowing down.

At preview weekend they said that financial aid awards wouldn't be out until May because they were held up by the Board of Regents and state legislature finalizing tuition rates.

That said, my award notification (for loans) came through this evening. My GIAC status has said check back in 2 weeks for 2 months now but tonight was updated with a link to CASH (Check Aid Status Here) on UT Direct.

And by the way, I was a R2 admit.

thats rough - for r3 and r2 applicants who havent heard about $- their deposit deadline is april 18th. im gna ask if they'll be extending this in light of the delay in scholarship announcements. maybe some gmat clubbers can put the pressure on.

Got response: scholarship info available by end of the week for r3 applicants. Financial aid will take longer as will those who were not selected for scholarships but may be reconsidered.

hey old1442 are you leaning one way or the other on your acceptances?
