So...either I didn't receive a scholarship or the above referenced link is more geared toward current/enrolled students across all grad programs at UT than recently admitted MBA students. Has anyone received any additional information on scholarships? It's getting a tad bid frustrating with the Preview Weekend looming...


Nothing Yet for me, I am really curious to know



Agreed. If anybody got a scholarship this week, can you just let everybody know? I've read blogs that say McCombs takes a million years to give out the scholarships and I'm very very on edge about it.

Re: Calling all McCombs Applicants - (2015 Intake) Class of 2017 [#permalink]
FROM Mccombs(Texas Austin) Admissions Blog: Meet Your Admissions Officer: Dallas/Fort Worth

Texas MBA Senior Admissions Officer, Dave Jackson

Hi everyone. I’m the new MBA admissions officer for the Texas MBA at Dallas/Fort Worth, but I’m no stranger to the program. I graduated from the DFW program in 2010. The two years I spent in the program were a transformative experience for me, providing me with the broad business exposure to enhance my career in corporate communications. I was excited to return to the McCombs School of Business to help give similar opportunities to others. And I have spent my first month on the job immersing myself in the admissions cycle – recruiting prospective students at both university and company-sponsored events, reviewing applications and interviewing candidates – to shape the Class of 2017 here in DFW.

Several things have changed in the five years since I left the program. Most notably, the campus and the residency hotel are both different. The curriculum has undergone a significant review, with changes made to allow working professional students to graduate at the same time as our full-time MBA students. We have greatly expanded the MBA-Plus programs to broaden students’ skills outside the classroom.

But many things have not changed. The faculty is still top-notch, with many of the professors the same ones who taught me and the new ones of the same high caliber I remember. The curriculum challenges you to bring your best effort to each class and project, and provides you with information and inspiration to apply when you return to work on the Mondays after class weekends.

And the students continue to bring a blend of diverse work and academic backgrounds and a collaborative and entrepreneurial spirit that enables everyone to maximize the value of their MBA experience. They seed the relationships that become their personal and professional network for many years to come. The Texas MBA is about what you put into the program, and in return you get much more than three letters.

As I get to know the Classes of 2015 and 2016 and as we build the Class of 2017, I’m confident the program’s most important component – its people – remains its best component. Getting to know them has been my greatest reward in returning to McCombs.

Have any other R3 applicants received interview invites? Seems like it has been pretty quiet.

I just had my interview. Pretty low key. Basic review of your resume, asked about highlighting leadership examples, asked about a leadership weakness, short and long term goals, why an MBA, why UT specifically, and why are you applying in round 3. I think it went pretty well. Good luck.

I also had my R3 interview last week.

My interview was also fairly low key. They asked me about teamwork. leadership, short-term/long-term goals, why MBA, why McCombs, etc.

Good luck all!

FROM Mccombs(Texas Austin) Admissions Blog: Welcome New Full-Time Admitted Students & Congrats, Soon-to-be-Grads!

University-wide Commencement events and ceremonies are May 22-23, 2015

Graduation for our Texas MBA Class of 2015 is only one month away! The “home stretch” is always a bitter-sweet time for McCombs students, since they are such a valued and dynamic part of the Texas MBA, but also eager to jump into the new ventures their future holds. The program is changed for the better because of their time here and we are proud of their hard work and accomplishments over the past 2 years and the legacy they will continue as new Texas MBA alumni. Congratulations, Class of 2015!

This time of year also means we are welcoming the newest members of the Texas MBA network: The newly admitted Class of 2017!

I had my round 3 interview last week. It was with a second year student. Very laid back. Why mba? Why ut? One good question was, what is your backup plan if finance doesn't work out? Still waiting to hear back. I imagine they make you wait pretty close to the deadline to hear ? Anyways, good luck everyone!

Congrats on the invite/interview! I'm still waiting to hear from McCombs (applied R3), which likely means an unfortunately outcome. As for when they let you know about acceptance, I believe it's normally a couple weeks before the deadline. But I also believe not everyone who is accepted gets this advance notice. Either way, good luck!

It doesn't look like anyone gets notification until at most a week before decision day. Good luck, I'm still hoping for an interview, but time is running out so I don't have high hopes.

I interviewed via Skype last night, and I was told that I would hear back at least by the response deadline but I could hear early as they admit people on a rolling basis. She also said that I was near the end of the interviews so I might not have to wait that long. I think when I got my interview invite I had to schedule it by the end of this week so I wouldn't be shocked if the first responses came out on Friday. With that said I also wouldn't be shocked if it took another week.

Yeah I did get one admit so far, but I had high hopes for McCombs. Oh well. Good luck to you, hopefully you have good news coming.
