Hi Srinath,
Your first question is a huge question that I could spend an hour answering. I encourage you to explore our website and our information session presentation on our Admissions page for a lot of great info. In a nutshell I think a few things that really set our program apart are:
- the flexibility and customization of the curriculum (ability to focus in over 20 different areas of study, can take courses outside the business school for MBA elective credit, dual degree program opportunities). Since you're interested in international business you may want to mix in some of our international study opportunities such as the Global Connections study tours or a study abroad.
- the high quality and accessibility of the faculty (This year McCombs was recognized by Princeton Review to have the Best Professors out of 294 top busines schools!)
- an MBA program environment that is relatively small so you get to know everyone (~260 students in each incoming class) but that is part of a very large university, allowing access to many unique and vast resources and opportunities for collaboration
- a range of hands on activities to grow your knowledge base and add to your range of experience and leadership. These include things like our MBA+ Leadership Program micro-consulting projects and workshops, academic challenges, fellows programs in areas ranging from non-profit focused to venture capital and entrepreneurship to marketing, etc.
- finally our location in the amazing, lively, innovative and entrepreneurial city of Austin, TX
We can definitely talk more specifically about any of these aspects but I encourage you to explore our website and, if possible, attend a campus visit to learn more. We have tons of campus visit opportunities listed on our website.
Regarding your second question, we do not evaluate applicant profiles prior to receiving a completed application because our review process is a very hollistic one and includes other important elements such as recommendations, essays, interview, etc. However, you can look at our most recent Class Profile on our website to have an idea of how you compare - and if you have specific questions let us know. The most recent average GMAT was 691.
