I randomly logged into McCombs site and my fee was waived. I will upload my transcripts in the morning. March 11 is the day? Wow. UNCs decision date is March 18. Lol. I made the wonderful decision to only apply to 2 schools during R2. And both wait until the last hour to issue decisions. My nerves are so bad lol. I don't know how I'm staying productive. If I were to do this again, I'd have started this process earlier and staggered more apps across R1 & R2. Then again, I only wanted to go to these two schools soooooo maybe it's best.

I was a R2 cgsm haas applicant and was invited to interview on 2/11. Argh... that's not what I was hoping to hear...

I just checked my portal and was also able to upload my transcripts, but I never got the fee waiver email. Beware though, the UT grad system interface is not great. I uploaded the incorrect version of my undergrad transcript, and am not able to change it. I emailed Shelley about it, but you would think there would be a simple delete button like there has been on all other applications. Ugh.

Yeah I came across some instructions that warned about not being able to delete or overwrite files on McCombs system. I will be über careful when I do. Going to upload them when I get to work. I didn't receive an email saying fees were waived either. Posted from my mobile device

Has anyone received any news from Marshall yet? This has already been mentioned, but I find it disappointing that they would communicate to us mid-February, then push it back to end of February, then let it slip into March. Hopefully they'll communicate something today?

Just got waitlisted without an Interview at NYU Stern. Its been a bad year and I've been embarrassed to post, especially after getting rejected from Yale after Interviewing, but oh well. Fingers crossed for Darden and Marshall. Any advice on dealing with Waitlist without interview?

Stay positive! Everyone ends up where they belong. Keep the faith and have a couple of adult beverages this weekend.

I checked my UT portal the other day after interviewing, and it's saying they don't have an active application for me. I emailed Shelley about transcripts but she said there was nothing else they required of me as of yet so that seems rather confusing? Anyone else have portal issues like this?

I had a really positive interview with Marshall last week, but also haven't heard anything back unfortunately. At the end of my interview, all he said was that we would keep in touch and that fellowship info goes out at the mid/end of March? So hopefully we hear back soon, good luck!
