Hey Everyone,

I am in for Round 1 as well. I was going through the real-time application status of students on the first page of this post and saw that there were about 4 people who have received scholarship but I didn't find anyone who has a confirmed admission yet. Can someone throw light on this?

I get that. I know some schools offer scholarships to their undergrads to keep them (UT undergrads offered scholarship to pursue McCombs MBA). Just curious if this was the case here. I'm not losing sleep over it though :)

Judging by last year's thread about 40% of applicants were interviewed and basically all of them were either accepted or waitlisted. Obviously this is a rough estimate because it is dependent upon forum users actually changing their status (interviewed, accepted, etc).

FROM Mccombs(Texas Austin) Admissions Blog: 2014 Texas MBA Women’s Forum Recap
Women’s Forum at the McCombs School of Business here at UT Austin. The forum is always a highly-anticipated event for the Texas MBA, and this year was one of the best yet!


2014 Women’s Forum Co-Chairs (left to right): Elaine Yeh, MBA ’16, Rebecca Linn, MBA ’15, Laurie Shults, MBA ’15

57 attendees had the opportunity to interact with McCombs faculty and staff, alumni, and current students during a number of informative sessions and networking receptions, allowing them to learn more about all aspects of the program and begin to picture themselves as Texas MBAs.


Texas MBA’s in attendance (left to right) Standing Row: Jennifer Thomas, MBA ‘16, Nicole Velasquez, MBA ‘15, Nikki Meo, MBA ’15, Caitlin Miller, MBA ‘16, Flavia de la Fuente, MBA ‘15, Front Row: Rebecca Linn, MBA ‘15
Laurie Shults, MBA ‘15, Jamie Sutton, TVL Venture Partner, Christie Sutton, MBA ‘15,

The event brought in attendees from all over the country seeking to see highlights of life in McCombs and Austin. Texas, California, New York, D.C., Florida and Illinois were the most represented states among those in attendance. Alma maters besides UT Austin were also represented, including UCLA, Rice, Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Yale.

 


Texas MBA Program Professor, Raji Srinivasan

“It was a wonderful and large group of young women, who

were excited to learn about the McCombs MBA program, University of Texas at Austin, and Austin! There was animated discussion about the challenges of coming back to school, especially for women, and issues related to career switching. I enjoyed speaking to them and learning about their career goals and aspirations! This is a great group of prospective MBA students and I look forward to seeing many of them in Fall next year.”           Professor Raji Srinivasan

If you were not able to attend the Women’s Forum this year, check out some of the other events happening on campus. We hope to see you soon!

Applicant from Bangalore, India here.. Interviewed with the Bangalore alumnus on Nov 3rd. Went pretty well - quite conversational in nature. He was basically trying to assess my fit with McCombs' unique culture. He stressed upon the fact that McCombs is known to have fewer Type As than many other B Schools - found this to be interesting and quite suitable to my personal values.

Anyone know the earliest date that we can expect the final decision?

It looks like there are quite a few more interview invites to go out, although they seem to be moving a little faster than they did last year (based on the gmatclub thread). Last year the earliest acceptance (on gmatclub) was in December. I'm hoping it will be a little earlier this year :)

Hey.. Had an interview with the same alum. He's a very polite and friendly person but don't let that fool you. He takes notes of almost everything you say and do. Make sure you have an airtight answer for why MBA, why McCombs, etc. Also think about times when you showed leadership and collaboration in culturally diverse situations.
