Calling all Mays(Texas) Applicnts(2015 Intake) Class of 2017

Dinged with Interview
GPA calculation was a mess!!
Never understood how a 7.88/10 CGPA from NIT can get converted to 2.76 GPA in 4 - point scale.

740 GMAT
7 yrs work experience
decent extra curriculars.

Terribly disappointed

Lost hope for this year!!

Dinged w/o interview

Any interview calls sent for round 2 applicants? I am still haven't heard anything from them.

R2 applicant.. Received interview invitation last night. No dates confirmed!! Can anyone help what to expect in interview? Thanks

What was your profile? And did you apply to marketing?

My profile is as follows - Indian, IT, 27 Computer engineer,
I haven't selected any specialization while applying!!

Hey, Congrats! When did you submit your application?

I submitted application on 2nd Nov.

Dinged with Interview !!!

Don't know exactly what went wrong!!!

I got an admit today morning. Mays have changed their fee structure:(. Does anyone know by when they inform about scholarship?

Whats your profile? score?

Hey Anu,

What changes have they made to the fee structure? Please provide details if possible. The website shows the same fee structure as before.

Congrates for the admit...
I received the scholarship offer around a 3 days after the official offer.

Any r2 applicants who has been wait-listed?

Would really appreciate if any current students could tell what are the chances of converting wait list to admit?

As per my understanding, wait list is tough to crack...but it reflects that the B School liked ur profile... Now, u have to prove that you fit into the B school well... I wud suggest u to look into ur application carefully... and recall the interview u had.... Just try to identify the gaps... like- wht made these guys think you may be fit but not u are fit.... the gap may be in essays...esplly ur goals part.... or it may be why A&M.....I wud further suggest u to write an additional essay at the time u think u have learnt something new/relevant or any achievement in personal/professional fronts... the update via essays makse the school feel that u are interested in them and also tht u have improved or learned more about urself since the application.... if Texas A&M is the right school for u and u fit in well.....MAKE THEM REALIZE THAT THEY U MISSED IN R1....

That makes a lot of sense... I will work on it.. thanks for your suggestion

My pleasure

I feel kinda dumb asking this...but How good is Texas A&M.
I mean what are the chances that one will get a Job in States after graduating.
Especially since H1 are becoming scarcer by the day.

Hi,

I am from India and looking to apply in Round 3 by Jan 15 and want to know is TOEFL score required for admissions.
Also I have done my Bachelors degree from institute where medium of instruction was english so can I get TOEFL waiver based on this fact? If no can I submit my TOEFL score say couple of weeks after deadline?
Is there any 1 out there from India who has got this TOEFL waiver??Would really appreciate if people in this thread can share there thoughts on this.

Thanks
