I sent adcmon an e-mail and received automatic out of office till next year.
I submitted like two weeks ago and it doesn't even show as received.

I'm accepted and my status says, "Texas Full Time MBA: Austin: Your application has been submitted"

Don't worry about it, it's just the phrasing Texas uses.

How long does Texas take to give a decision after an interview? My friend has an interview scheduled for 3rd January.

I have heard that McCombs is painfully slow in giving out final results. Should he brace up for a long hibernation period post interview? (That's what I suggested to him... :) )

Thanks!

Some of this year's applicants received decisions as early as 2 weeks post-interview, but most were around 4 weeks.

No...look at the 2010 McCombs thread. Sometimes the decision takes days, but in other cases months.

Guys
Question. According to BW rankings, UT Austin part time MBA is at #37 vs Rice at #8. UT is at 25 and Rice is at 29 for Full time and for EMBA Rice and UT is lumped together. Why this discrepancy in part time? I am told that it all gives the same piece of paper so why such a huge discrepancy in rankings? Thanks

BW uses a different methodology for ranking different types of programs. They do so, because the FT, PT, and EMBA programs at a single school can be very different in terms of student body, student experience, and even curriculum. Simply because they all award an MBA from UT (or Rice) doesn't mean that graduates of each program have the same objectives. It would be unwise to rank a school's EMBA program on the "student satisfaction" of its FT graduates.

That's a personal question that, as you pointed out, will require your own research. From a part-time perspective, I'd imagine that you'd attend Rice if you were in Houston and UT if you were in Austin. UT has a better national brand, but the schools are probably comparable within the state of Texas. Rice may be better than UT in the energy industry, simply because of its location (Houston).

thanks avern. UT has a houston program, among its many options so I was looking into that. I guess they offer a variety of part time options, but the difference in their parttime rankings was a little surprising..

Also consider this: the part-time UT program in Houston is completely fixed. Everyone takes the same classes regardless, and there are no majors/concentrations. Also, it is difficult to get involved with extracurriculars at a school that is housed in a hotel.

With the Rice part-time MBA, you can take electives. You also have access to the full time's clubs and events. The ENHANCE program through the part-time Texas program at Houston seems inferior to its full-time experiential learning program. At the Rice part-time, I assume you would have access to the same experiential learning (I think its called immersion) programs that the the full-time student do.

Disclosure: I live in Houston and researched both programs thoroughly. In the end, I decided full-time Texas was a far superior option for me. Of course, your case is unique. If you really want to go part-time and switch careers, then pursue the Rice MBA. If you want to use the part-time MBA to move up within your current field, shoot for the Texas MBA at Houston. Money doesn't make a difference for part-timers because the costs are the same and neither programs offer scholarships.

I interviewed Dec 2nd and haven't heard anything yet. I'm guessing there are a good number of us in this situation since they are called all admits and only did the one day of calls before the holidays. Plus the boards from last year show that the bulk of people got admitted after the holidays, not before.
