Does McCombs call each admit (domestic & international) or simply send the status updation mail?

I know McCombs takes the dual approach that some applicants will receive a phone call and some will receive an email that the portal to review your application status has been updated.

I just got a text from DHL saying they will be delivering a package from McCombs next week. I didn't get any calls or emails and the application status online has not been updated. Any idea what this means?
Hey Suruchi,

Seems like a good news getting delivered at your doorstep. I would save my congrats till you confirm. Are you based out in India or US?

From what I remember as an undergrad international student applying for admissions a Package or DHL meant yes, regular post thin letter meant no (95% of the time). Best of luck.

I really hope we find out scholarship info soon, too. The deadline to accept/decline Emory is tomorrow so I have to figure out everything today. Texas is the only R1 school I'm waiting to hear from.

According to the McCombs site, first-round admits are typically notified of any financial aid at the time of admission!

"Recruiting Scholarships

McCombs offers recruiting scholarships in the form of cash awards and out-of-state tuition waivers. All applicants are automatically considered for recruiting scholarships through the admissions process; No additional paperwork needs to be submitted by the applicant for consideration.

Scholarships are offered to students who have demonstrated a superior record of academic and professional accomplishment in their application materials. Scholarships range from $2,000 to full-tuition. Scholarships come in the form of cash awards and out-of-state tuition waivers. Recruiting scholarships are distributed almost exclusively on the basis of merit. First-round scholarship recipients are typically notified at the time of their admission, however, scholarships may be awarded anytime after that depending on availability."
