In there like swimwear.

I asked about scholarship, and was told that those decisions weren't finalized yet. The lady I spoke with said that info would go out in the next couple weeks.

Congrats again to all admitted, and good luck to those waiting. They're still going through the call list.

Got a phone call at 1:29pm CT offering admission. First admit for me, so all my stress about getting into business school at all has now vanished.

Excitinggggg!!!

Did anyone get a voicemail from adcom today saying they have a question about [your] application and to please call them back? I'm cautiously optimistic that they don't want to deliver good news over voicemail and that any questions would have been asked before this week, but I have not been able to get ahold of anyone yet today.

I am sure you are in. They didn't want to leave a message because they want to give you a big surprise. :-)

I guess its safe to assume that scholarship decisions have not been made yet... however i wanted to ask any 1st round admits about how many scholarships were awarded and if they knew the general criteria for these..

I have a question:

I applied to Emory, McCombs, USC and UCLA.

I got admission to Emory and I got waitlisted at McCombs. I'm really happy about my admission to Emory but McCombs is my top choice due to location and interests. I want to inform them about my admission to Emory to see if that'll help them move forward with making a decision on my position on the waitlist but I'm not sure about the best plan of action. Will it make a difference? Who should I contact?

Scholarships have been pretty rare, but you probably won't get exact info. from the school on quantity. Last year, a couple people reported the scholarships were between $2K-$12K. Of the 50 admitted gmatclub members from last year, 5 reported scholarships (which is strange because 3 of the 5 were in R3/R4. On the McCombs site, they say R2 is the priority deadline for scholarship consideration). This year, only 1 gmatclub member reported a scholarship in R1.

To be honest, it does not make a difference and may hurt you in the end if you talk about other schools you were admitted to. If you really want to go to McCombs, I'd wait for them to review your application again on the waitlist and at that time make sure they understand how committed you are to attending McCombs and that you will accept an offer if they grant you admission. We only want students who reallyyy want to go to McCombs for the right reasons, so better to stay focused on that!

Not heard anything yet. Havent seen many waitlist candidates discussing anything on this forum. Not sure when will adcom come back.


The earliest you may start to see reviews of the waitlist will be after Round 2 decisions are delivered. BUT, does not mean everyone will be reviewed at the same time.

Given that so many people have already been accepted... can R2 people hope for more positive replies tomo?

HI All - I applied round 3 and have still not heard back for an interview invite. Does anyone know the timeline? Should I be worried?
