secondtimesthecharm - you do seem to be right!!

I literally just received an email outlining the scholarship info. So I guess if you got a scholarship, you will hear about it soon via email.

I wrote my previous post after reading your earlier post but just few seconds ago I got my scholarship mail as well (Though the amount is really small

)

Nope. Whoever's managing the FB group must need to confirm that we're actual admitted students before letting us join.

Do you see anything on the admitted student website (link in admissions email) other than "MBA Welcome"?

Nope. Just the MBA Welcome. I guess the admission status needs to reflect in all UT systems (Housing, Finance etc) before it becomes available for use.

For FB group- there are 4 admins including Rodrigo himself. It shouldn't be too difficult for them to verify. May be they are working on the more important stuffs right now- scholarship communications, admitted students website etc before moving on to connecting students of the class.

Is there an admitted students thread?
So if you've been admitted but not decided if you should take it can you still join the FB group?
Also does anyone know how much the initial deposit it?

The deposit is $2000. I have decided to matriculate
I am not sure if I really should attend the MBA welcome day on the 7th of Feb, as I live in Asia at the moment.. 15 hour flight(one-way) which will set me about $2500 poorer for one day of event seems a bit expensive..

Yes, ofcourse it's an expensive proposition to fly just for the event. I'm sure there will be many more considering this is only the first round.

secondtimesthecharm I surely hope so. After waiting for the admission decision, now got to wait for the admit packet.The wait never seems to end... Any idea when to expect it? My guess is late January as the school will now be closed for Christmas.

Did any international admit hear anything on scholarship?

Based out of India. Received the scholarship email hours after the admit email.

Hey Guys,
I have a query regarding the essays.The about me profile for the first essay, is it necessary to use the website ( https://https://gmatclub.com/chat/ ) to create the profile, or can I design my own webpage profile and share that link?

Thanks for the help in advance...!!!

If I remember correctly, there is a space where you can type your website address other than https://gmatclub.com/chat.. I pasted link to my facebook page in that space. Also, https://gmatclub.com/chat is optional, so is the pinterest board

The prompt specifically says to submit an https://gmatclub.com/chat profile. I don't think you should use any others, even though the box allows pasting any link.

Here is the prompt below, I've highlighted the relevant portions:

Imagine that you are at the Texas MBA Orientation for the Class of 2017. Please introduce yourself to your new classmates, and include information you feel relevant to both your personal and professional life. Select only one communication method that you would like to use for your response.
- Write an essay (250 words)
- Share a video introduction (one minute)
- Share your https://gmatclub.com/chat profile

Ah yes, right. Probably I mixed the two areas where you could share your social media profiles. There is another section, which I think is fully optional, where you can share links to your webpage, pinterest board and linkedIn page.. Although optional, I think they're a great opportunity to showcase your personal side to the admissions.

Could anyone shed light on whether McCombs has a no-cosignor loan option for International Students.

I found nothing on their website to suggest that they do. Anyone heard anything from their chats with the adcom/students?

Unfortunately, McCombs does not provide loans without a US co signer. Here's their official statement:

Loans for International Students
For an international student, there may be more loan options (and better loan terms) if you have a U.S. citizen or permanent resident co-signer. We are not able to recommend any lenders specifically but we work with all banks and lending institutions. We currently do not have a lender that will offer a loan program to an international student that cannot obtain a U.S. citizen co-signer or have three years U.S. credit history in his/her own name. We, as the University of Texas at Austin, cannot be your co-signer.
