. Have mailed them but yet to receive any reply. No idea whether app is being reviewed or not!

Did you get an update? Just curious coz I'm in the same situation.

To everyone,
Does anyone have the generic email id to contact adcom for admission related questions? All correspondence seems to be through a form (which btw doesn't tell you whether the email was sent) :wall

I submitted 10/31/10 and was able to pay 11/2/10 and I am still seeing the same message. Did that message ever go away for you?

It never went away for me, and I got confirmed I was complete on Oct. 29 via email. They said the system was still glitchy. If everyone sees it, you're probably alright. Does it say your application is complete for committee review?

Next to Apply Texas Application it says received and everything is green, they have my scores and transcript. Nothing about being ready for committee review though.

Hi.. what documents have you submitted under financial documents? I was of the opinion that tey require it only post-admission! Would be great if you could help. My application is still red for Financial documents!!

Yup. Got the waiver so no TOEFL score needed. But it is yet to be updated on the status check page.

The blue box at the top says - We have received your app and are reviewing it

So any idea when interview calls will start coming in?

For financial documents, they replied to my mail saying it's not needed. As for TOEFL, did they grant u a waiver easily? They asked me to submit a few set of things for a waiver, so I figured I might as well appear for TOEFL. But my original transcripts are still in red, though I know they have received my documents since the courier tracking says it's been delivered.

Guys, Financial Docs are not needed for admission. So do not worry if that row is red.

Even I have not submitted any financial docs.

As for TOEFL waiver, you submit the following-

1. GMAT score (V, Q div)
2. Writing Sample ( any one of the McCombs essay)
3. A short reco from a native English speaker mentioning your English speaking skills

Give around 10 days for a final decision on the waiver front. I think it is a straight forward procedure.

Where do I check the status? I do not see anything after I login apart from the message that Texas Full Time MBA: Austin: Your application has been submitted

You can check the status here: utdirect.utexas.edu/admissions/status_check.WBX but it doesn't seem to work very well.

Yeah, it updates SLOWLY. I would recommend contacting them to confirm they have everything they need, because they can tell you before their status check site updates.

The email is TexasMBA@mccombs.utexas.edu.
