R4 applicant. Got the worst possible outcome - waitlisted.

Good luck to those still waiting for a decision.

I am an R3 waitlister. You were likely waitlisted if you had not heard back by Wednesday during the last notification cycle. Hopefully that's not the case this time around. Good luck everyone!

Hi All - Just curious if there are any R4 or previously waitlisted applications who haven't received a decision yet. I'm still waiting as of 3:09 CST 05/18

Congrats Henryhank! WL to admit is an elite group which has mastered endurance training!
I received another admit the same day and am evaluating both options. Do you know when can we expect information about scholarships, if any?

Ofc not, though your undergrad GPA does matter, if you've shown to have an excellent work-experience record and a very strong GMAT score, along with excellent Essays and Reco's ofc, your undergrad GPA becomes a negligible factor.

Don't fret about what's already done and give your best shot at the applications.

Agreed. Although it is going to be an uphill battle, it is certainly possible to get in with a GPA < 3.0. Focus on what you can still change, and your GPA might not even matter in the end.

Good luck!

Does anyone know what the timeline for a admissions decision is for the evening program? I just applied in the fourth round and am curious how long I will have to wait before I hear anything.

Thank you!

I applied Round 2 and was waitlisted to the UT McCombs program in Dallas-Ft Worth.

I provided an additional recommendation and got an email on May 7th that they were going to start reviewing wait list candidates and to confirm if we were still interested.

Still waiting to hear though. Final deadline was May 25th, so it has been almost 2 weeks...I'm hoping to get an answer soon, the suspense is killing me.
