Even I applied on the last day, still haven't heard anything yet.
Is there any hope for me or have all the invites been sent out already?

Hello all,

Is it common for McCombs to send out early acceptance letter/e-mail for round 2? Or for round 2 do they wait and communicate to all applicants on or near March 26, 2015?

Thanks for your time and best of luck to all of us. J

No one finds out until the notification deadline - how they reach out to you will vary, some get an email, some get a phone call, some check the portal and find out.

I interviewed back in mid-January with an alum... It feels like I'll be radio silent with the school between now and D-Day. Is/has anyone planning on reaching out to McCombs between their interview and when decisions are relased? I'm also nervous since my interview did NOT go well...

In the To-Do section of my application I can still see the "Submit your TOEFL" prompt although I had applied for a waiver. They had mentioned that the waiver would be granted within 2-3 weeks of submitting the app.
I do not have an invite yet.
Is there anyone else whose waiver has not been granted yet?

UPDATE : So I was granted the waiver within hours of posting this. I guess the adcom is keeping a watchful eye on the GC forums :wink:

FROM Mccombs(Texas Austin) Admissions Blog: Full-Time MBA Admissions Update: Final App Deadline & Meet Your AO’s
Texas Full-Time MBA application deadline is March 24th. We are excited to have seen an increase in both the quantity and quality of applications so far, and have received applications from over 40 countries! The Texas MBA Admissions team is looking forward to welcoming Round 1 admitted students to our Texas Saturday event in Austin this weekend.

Meet Your Admissions Officers
The Texas MBA Full-Time Admissions team is dedicated to helping you navigate the admissions process, learn #WhyMcCombs, and get all your questions answered. Learn more about who you can expect to meet on your journey to McCombs below.



Julia Campbell

Senior Admissions Officer, Texas MBA Full-Time Program

How long have you been with the Texas MBA and what is your background?

I joined McCombs in February 2011 in the Development and External Relations department and moved to the Texas MBA Program Office full time admissions staff in August 2012.  I earned my business degree in Finance and Operations at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and moved to Texas where I worked in sales, analysis, donor relations, and event strategy.  My focus on the full-time admissions is women’s recruitment, management of the McCombs Admissions Committee student volunteers, interview operations, waitlist management, alumni engagement and recruitment/yield event strategy.

What has been your most rewarding experience so far working on the Texas MBA admissions team?

Oddly enough, the most rewarding experience I’ve had in admissions isn’t related to admissions at all, although many professionals in admissions will tell you that this job is a total blast (you get to meet new and interesting people every day, travel the planet, read thrilling essays, and make those incredible congratulatory phone calls to admitted students.)  The winner for me, though, is attending MBA Orientation after everyone has been admitted to see them off to begin this exciting new phase of their lives.  I’ve spent many, many hours getting to know these people as applicants on paper and in person. By the time summer orientation rolls around, I know them well and it’s a rewarding experience to see them take the first real steps to pursue what they’ve worked so hard to convey to me during the application process: their dreams and ambitions begin.

In your opinion, what are some of the strongest attributes of a Texas MBA class?

My focus in admissions is women’s recruitment, a very interesting area to watch these days.  With studies and headlines coming out all the time swinging the pendulum on where a woman’s position is in the business world, it’s incredible to witness this movement on an individual level.  I work with inspiring, capable, driven, self-aware women MBA candidates and current students who choose to pursue their business careers with such commitment and sense of purpose that I can’t help but have full faith that this “gap” will continue to close.



Rene Martinez

Senior Admissions Officer, Texas MBA Full-Time Program

How long have you been with the Texas MBA and what is your background?

I joined the Full Time Texas MBA Admissions team in August of 2014. Upon completing my degree in Communication Studies at The University of Texas at Austin, I began working for International Studies Abroad’s (ISA) high school division where I managed program recruitment, admissions and served as the on-site Director in Mexico, Costa Rica and Spain. Following my work with ISA, I managed Texas teacher recruitment for the student travel branch of the Discovery Channel. Prior to joining the MBA admissions team, I worked in the UT International Office where I coordinated all aspects of an 18-month Foundation Year program for non-matriculated business and engineering students from Saudi Arabia.

What has been your most rewarding experience so far working on the Texas MBA admissions team?

So far my most rewarding experience has been having the opportunity to travel to China and South Korea to interview highly qualified candidates for our next incoming class. I enjoyed meeting a number of bright candidates, hearing their stories and learning about how they plan to use a Texas MBA to elevate their careers and take a giant leap toward their goals.

In your opinion, what are some of the strongest attributes of a Texas MBA class?

I think diversity and cohesion are what make our Texas MBAs so special. Our students come from a wide range of cultures, backgrounds, and industries. It is inspiring to see how they come together on campus with a shared vision of not only working toward their own goals but also going above and beyond to collaborate and ensure the success of each one of their classmates.



Stephen Sweeney

Director of Admissions, Texas MBA Full-Time Program

How long have you been with the Texas MBA and what is your background?

I have been working at the Texas MBA for slightly over a year.  I am also an alum of the full-time program and volunteered with admissions as a student.  Prior to enrolling in McCombs, I worked in the hedge fund industry and taught fourth grade through Teach For America.  After I graduated, I worked in management consulting until returning to McCombs.

What has been your most rewarding experience so far working on the Texas MBA admissions team?Interacting with such high caliber, driven individuals from all over the world who are interested in McCombs has been incredibly rewarding!  I love hearing each applicant’s reasons pertaining to why they are passionate about attending McCombs.

In your opinion, what are some of the strongest attributes of a Texas MBA class? 

Our accessible faculty along with the hands-on opportunities that McCombs offers truly sets our program apart.  Whether being selecting for one our Fellows program or doing an MBA+ project, our students have ample ways to apply what they learn in to the classroom to current issues facing companies.  I also feel that our Career Services team is the best in the business.  This is evident in our placement rates, but you have to see how students transform over the two years and much of this can be attributed to our stellar Career Services team.  Our location in Austin also creates a learning environment that is competitive and collaborative at the same time.

If you are applying to our program before the March 24 final deadline, here are some fantastic blog entries to help you complete your application:

Understanding the 2015 Essays

Letters of Recommendation
The Roads to McCombs

Tips on the Application

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us via email at TexasMBA@mccombs.utexas.edu and we encourage you to check out our many upcoming events.

We look forward to meeting you soon!

FROM Mccombs(Texas Austin) Admissions Blog: Working Professional & Executive 2015 Women’s Forum Recap


The Texas MBA recently held its annual Women’s Forums for all Working Professional and Executive MBA Programs in Dallas, Houston, and Austin! Faculty, staff, alumni, and current students from the Texas MBA at Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas MBA at Houston, Texas Evening MBA, and Texas Executive MBA programs hosted around 60 prospective women MBAs for a day of information sessions and networking receptions.


Texas MBA at Houston Women’s Forum, Career Presentation

These events give prospective women MBAs the opportunity to discover all aspects of the Texas MBA program and how they can unlock their potential and develop as business leaders. Women’s Forum attendees had the opportunity to hear an overview of the Texas MBA program and connect with women in the program to learn about their experiences.



A highlight of the event was a talk from premier professional development coaches, Valerie Savage.

Valerie is a seasoned executive with 30 years of financial, strategic, operational and investor relations experience as an executive and consultant for private and public companies. Her session at the Women’s Forum demonstrated how to identify and articulate unique credentials to help position professionals for a successful career.

Choosing to pursue an MBA presents unique challenges for women, especially working professionals. The Women’s Forums provided realistic insight into the program, life as an MBA, and opportunities for candid discussion with former and current students.

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!

Hi there all my fellow McCombs applicants!

I am a Consortium applicant so have been mainly following the Consortium thread (applied R2, Jan 5th). I interviewed on Friday and I did hear from some 2nd year students that some hear back early (3 weeks after interview) but when I reached out to an admissions officer, he said March 26th. I also heard that you can get an interview invitation up until this date (but who knows).

Good luck to everyone!

I had similar issue with TOEFL waiver, I applied for it, the GIAC portal kept on showing it as a required thing, and no one at McCombs was able to comment on it, since the delay was with University of Texas itself.
So I simply went ahead and reported my TOEFL score last week, the status is now complete, but still no update from McCombs.
I just hope the interview invites are still being sent out.
