So, I got out of my GMAT 4 hours ago and didn't bomb it, so please add my to the McCombs list for R2 :-)

I'm actually going to be in Austin from the last week of this month visiting family for the first time. It is my first time visiting Austin so i'm quite excited.

Eat at Parkside on 6th St. You won't be disappointed.

Just out of curiosity, for all those who got accepted, did any of your statuses change on the website?

No, and the lady told me I wouldn't see a change or get anything else until after the New Year.

Add me to the rollcall. Submitted application a couple days after the first deadline and interviewed with a local alum on 11/29. The interview was fairly straightforward and conversational. Most questions were stock MBA questions (Why MBA, Why UT, Tell me about your background and goals, Give an example of leading through conflict) and it lasted about an hour. It became increasingly friendly as the conversation progressed, and I think I impressed him at the end with my questions for him. All in all, a good experience. I am still waiting on the final decision.

Net Impact is an organization focused on using business to benefit society and social welfare through non-profits, sustainable business practices, micro-finance, etc. McCombs has a chapter, and there's a link under MBA Student Organizations.

Here it is:

This may be sampling error, but it appears that most of the admits don't have finance concentrations (probably the most popular).
I guess the committee is still working through that larger applicant base.

I think I'm a special flower--as my approximately average GPA and GMAT clearly suggest.

You're probably right, they did say most folks would get decisions 4-6 weeks later and that most late November interviewee decisions would go out after the New Year.

I'm in too! Got the call on Friday with everyone else. She said the scholarship decisions would come in January, and commitment was due 2/15.

Interviewed 12/5 off-campus with alum.

I received a phone call from Sharon Barrett at 5:40 p.m. on Friday, but she didn't leave me a voicemail. I called back this morning and left her a voicemail, but she instructed me to email the TexasMBA mailbox, which I have done. I'm not sure what else to do. It would be really nice to learn about the status of my application given I have a January 3rd deposit deadline.

Any ideas out there?

You can inform AdCom that you have a deadline on 3rd Jan & ask if decision can be given before that date.
Some schools are considerate enough. With McCombs' roll call app, i guess, it should not be a problem.

I left Sharon a voicemail and emailed the TexasMBA mailbox, per her instructions. I spoke with the receptionist from the main MBA admissions phone line, and she wasn't able to help me in this situation. I'm cautiously optimistic that the phone call on Friday was a positive one, but it would be really good to know that for sure, especially since I have a deposit deadline coming up. I don't know if I could skip paying that deposit if I didn't have full confirmation from McCombs.

There's nothing else you can do. Remember, they're working through the 23rd and will have plenty of time to get back to you. If worse comes to worse, pay the deposit at UNC and then make a final decision when you hear back from McCombs.
