Calling all McCombs Applicants - (2015 Intake) Class of 2017

Bangalore this side too! Have you decided yet? Did you Alum contact respond?

Submitted my application on 12th, no response yet!

But then I checked out my Youtube video essay-no hit from USA.
Guess they havent reviewed my application or did not even check the video essay!

I interviewed with an alum in Florida this afternoon. The interview was fairly informal. She took notes and seemed to be filling out a worksheet, but it was still conversational. I don't remember everything that she asked, but here's what I remember:

1) Walk me through your resume (we discussed our confusion at McCombs requiring a completely blind interview)
2) Why MBA?
3) Why McCombs?
4) Describe a time you worked in a diverse group. How was it? How did you deal with conflict?
5) What constructive criticism have you received? How did you respond? What did you learn?
6) What did you learn about yourself during the MBA application process?
7) Describe a time you developed (found?) an innovative solution to a work problem. Was it successful?
8) Anything you'd like to add?
9) Any questions for me?

She also asked me what other schools I applied to and how UT ranks (for me) among them, but she had closed her notebook at that point and I think she was just curious. I don't think she wrote down my answer. We chatted for a bit about business schools and life while at business school. Overall, the interview was just shy of an hour long.

Good luck, everyone!

Hi,
I'm based out of Bangalore and the Alum responded. We've fixed upon a date and time for interview.

Thats great! Good luck.. please update us on how it went. Did he just respond only today?

What documents are you guys carrying for the interview? I'm carrying the resume, essays, and copy of passport. Do we have to carry the original marksheets or anything else?

Interviewed in Chicago with a member of the Admissions Committee (Stephen Sweeney). Interview was very casual, no surprises with the questions. Stephen was very friendly and the interview was very conversational. He indicated I would hear back sometime before the deadline (which reiterates the point that they appear to announce decisions as they come as opposed to waiting until the application deadline).

Did you get a reply?
When is your interview?

Not yet. Haven't scheduled the interview. Thinking of switching to a Skype interview.

Lol and here I was hoping to switch it to an alum interview ( depending on your feedback of course)

My alumni contact told me he'll get back this week. He hasn't. Now I'm not sure what should be the appropriate thing to do.

No1 interviewing in Mumbai?

These days, the first thing I do after waking up is check my email on my phone in the hope of an interview invite and then get up from the bed. So yea, today at 11:30 AM, I saw an interview invite from McCombs !!
Really thrilled !! :D My first interview call.

Can anyone suggest that what is better? An interview with an alum in my current city (Bangalore, India) or a skype interview with a 2nd year student in Austin?

Also, can you guys give me tips or links to articles to read to prepare for the interview. I have never interviewed for MBA admissions before. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a ton guys !! Hook'em !

7 days and no reply from Alumni after a reminder too.

Switching to Skype Interview.

Booked Skype interview finally. 14th of Nov.
