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

Hi all ! Congrates to all who have got an offer from Mays.
I had an interview on 15 Oct and was offered an admission on 28th ( Although unofficial mail was sent to me on 24th).
These guys send scholarship results after few days of official offer...
Major interview questions:
1. why I chose my undergrad : 5-10 mins of time on this ques
2. why I changed my compan: 5 mins
3. About Work ex, goals, why Mba, quality u ll bring to the class,Why Mays, Which other B schools u applied.

My score: 700, Wex around 8 yrs.

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

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
