Question: The schools that I have applied to (except for one) have already given me their admissions decision. I noticed that McCombs' admissions decision deadline is March 26. Do they do rolling admissions where they can let you know earlier than that or is that the only date they will send out decisions? I am asking because my other schools will require my deposit to hold my space in the class in early March, and I'm concerned that if I wait to hear back from UT and potentially don't get in, I'll miss my shot at B-School all together. Am I being paranoid or is this a legitimate concern?

McCombs does not release any decisions prior to the March 28th date, so yes, your concern is legitimate.

So I am in the process of deciding which program to attend and would like to know how accurate is the program and other expenses mentioned on the school's website (specifically to McCombs)? Also how much additional expense, for activities such as travel for networking/recruiting event, should one consider?

FROM Mccombs(Texas Austin) Admissions Blog: The Waitlist: FAQs & How-Tos
[email protected]. We are not able to honor early decision requests from candidates on the Waitlist.

What if I am an international student on the Waitlist and I need a decision in order to begin the visa application process?

We are aware of the timelines required of international students and obtaining a visa. We understand that international applicants need time to process a visa, but unfortunately we may not know the final diversity and make-up of our class. Therefore, you may choose to remove yourself from the Waitlist due to visa timing issues.

WAITLIST SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS:

Can I submit new materials for consideration to enhance my candidacy?

As the Admissions Committee periodically reviews candidates on the Waitlist, there may be an opportunity for supplemental information or materials to be submitted for further consideration of your candidacy. It is not a guarantee that we will ask for an update or more information if we feel we have enough information in your original application to render a final decision. While typically we ask that candidates wait until prompted by Admissions Staff to provide supplemental information, we understand that there may be timely information or updates that you consider important. With regards to this type of new information (such as a recent promotion, a new test score, or a new job), you may inform the Admissions Committee by emailing the updated information to [email protected].

When can I submit supplemental materials and how much lead-time will you give me to collect them?

In the event that the Admissions Committee requests additional or supplemental information to further consider your candidacy, an email will be sent to all candidates currently on the Waitlist approximately one week prior to the review period so there is plenty of time to collect materials for submission.

What kind of supplemental materials do you ask for?

While we can ask for a range of materials, typically it is a new resume, recent job promotion information, or a new test score. Occasionally, we might ask to clarify your career goals or provide us with your back-up plan.

How can I submit these materials?

Specific submission instructions will be sent along with the request for information, but typically supplemental materials can be sent directly to [email protected] in the form of scanned PDF files to be uploaded manually to your application by our admissions staff (your application in the system cannot be edited once submitted).

I want to reiterate my interest & enthusiasm for the Texas MBA program, but don’t have specific updates (as listed above.) How can I do this?

The Admissions Committee prefers that you wait to be solicited for any supplemental items, and that any sent are material updates to your application. Please refer to the list of acceptable materials/information above. However, if you would like to let us know where the Texas MBA program ranks among your choices of schools, why we are the best fit for you and your career goals, or what other schools you are applying to, you may send that information along to the [email protected] email address and we will be sure to include it as an attachment to your application.

Who should I direct my questions or supplemental materials to?

All Waitlist inquiries and supplemental information should be sent to [email protected]. We will ensure that your materials and information are uploaded to your application for the Admissions Committee’s review.

WAITLIST INTERVIEWS:

Will I get a chance to interview if I’m placed on the Waitlist and I haven’t already interviewed?

Interview invitations can come at any time during the admissions cycle. We do not interview all candidates on the waitlist. If we deem it necessary, we will request an interview while you are on the waitlist to further assess your candidacy. Please wait for an invitation via email.

WAITLIST APPLICATION FEEDBACK: 

Can I receive specific feedback on my application?

We are not able to provide individual feedback on your application due to both the large volume of applications we receive and fairness to other applicants in the pool.  However, we are always willing to discuss what makes a strong application, generally.  This information is discussed in detail on our website.

GENERAL WAITLIST QUESTIONS:

How many people are placed on the Waitlist in a given year?

Each year, we receive approximately 2,000+ applications total and the incoming class is approximately 270. While there are many qualified individuals, we are limited by the amount of space in our classrooms. The Admissions Committee thoroughly reviews each application holistically, but due to the extremely competitive applicant pool, the waitlist includes very strong candidates that we do not have room for at the time of decision notification.  Each year, the applicant pool changes (different people apply) and the strength of that pool varies. Therefore, the size and strength of the waitlist varies considerably year to year.

Why haven’t I been contacted with further instructions, asked for an update on decision timing, or been sent a request for further information?

The Admissions Committee reviews candidates currently on the waitlist on a rolling basis depending on space created in the incoming class. As the timing of movement is largely out of our control, we are not able to predict key timelines associated with the Waitlist until later in the admissions cycle. We would not be able to send you further instructions for gathering supplemental materials if we were not able to identify potential room in the incoming class. We ask that you continue to remain patient as we gain insight into the availability of space in the incoming class and trust that we will reach out to you in a timely fashion should we require further information or have any material updates regarding your candidacy.

Should I request an early decision if I have other enrollment deadlines to adhere to?

We are not able to honor early decision requests from candidates on the waitlist. If the Texas MBA program is at or near the top of your list of schools, we recommend you remain on the waitlist as long as your decision-timeline can bear.  The reason not to request an early decision is that at the time of your requested early decision date, we may not have a full picture of available space in the class.

Is there an appeal process if I did not get admitted off the waitlist? 

All admission decisions are considered final for a given application cycle (i.e., year). You are welcome to reapply to the program again next year. We do not hold this season’s application against you. We evaluate your new application on its merits and in the context of the new applicant pool.

What do you mean by "call"? Do you mean invitation to interview (via email)?

Does anyone know if the admitted person from Round 2 is legit or maybe just a typo in his/her profile? I thought McCombs didn't send out admissions until the deadline (March 26). I'm a 2nd Rounder myself (interviewed on late January; went fairly well, I think), and am very anxious about my application. Thanks!

Interviewed today with alum at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
No weird questions, pretty regular... "Goals, Skills, Prefessional challenges, Teamwork..."
The interview was a great talk. It was a long one. I asked lots of questions and Yan answered each one of them very clearly.
McCombs is my #1 option and I believe that interview won`t be a "weak factor" for my application.
Totally looking forward to 3/26. Long Days... Loooooong days.

McCombs is still interviewing people. I doubt they have accepted anyone from round 2, yet. But they do have the longest decision date (March 26th). Most other schools are early-mid March. The days between application and decision in their other rounds (1&3) are much shorter. I have already been accepted at Rice, and my deposit deadline is March 16th. I applied the same day to both schools (Jan 6).

They haven't accepted anyone yet - the guy that put down "accepted" was actually the guy I went on a class visit with. Haha.

Any R1 Waitlist candidates heard back from McCombs?
Last year, McCombs sent requests for video interview to some waitlisted candidates. This year, there has been no communication.
