Hey @aravnith545,

Thanks for this.

The confusing part in that is below:

If submitting your application on the submission deadline date, your application fee is not required by the deadline.



It doesn't say anything about those who submitted their application prior to the deadline date (since I submitted on 12th, a day before deadline day). Just wanted a clarification on that. In all probability, there is nothing to worry about.

Also, I needed to confirm one thing. I sent my official GMAT Score Report on 11th October and received the "Score Report Fulfillment" e-mail the next day saying that my score report has been made available to the University. But I still see that the GMAT Score is pending in the "My Status" page of the application. Am I interpreting the "Score Report Fulfillment" correctly? Or does it take 2-3 weeks for the scores to reach? Also, would McCombs not review our application till they receive the official scores?

Thanks in advance.

I'm dealing with the same situation. Sent my score out on the 12th and Pearson sent me the Score Fulfillment Report yesterday. I think the system needs a few weeks to usually get it out to the school. This is what says on the McCombs submission page:

"Official test scores can take up to 3 weeks to show up in your formal application record at UT-GIAC (from the date of official score submission). If you have recently submitted your application, please allow a few business days for your official test scores to load into your application record (if you have previously submitted scores to the McCombs School of Business MBA Program)."

I wouldn't worry all that much about it. As long as the score is made available to the school, they can review with the application. Most schools typically use the official score upon final review rather than at the first glance of the application.

Yes I agree with that. Due to huge application load, they may not be able to update the status soon.

Hi,

For those who have paid the fees, is there any option for applying for a waiver there?

I got a mail when I attended the MBA event in Seoul for the application waiver.

But the application itself mentioned waivers only for specific programs, so I couldn't apply in that section.

So wanted to know if there is a section for mentioning a fee waiver in the What I Owe section.

Thanks.

Guys is anyone else facing the same problem as me (see below)

I am eligible for a TOEFL Waiver based on the following condition
"You were educated solely in English for your undergraduate and/or prior graduate degree."
In my application I had uploaded a "Medium of Instruction" certificate along with my transcripts to validate it.
My transcripts and the medium of instruction certificate are official copies and satisfy the conditions for transcripts.
But "My Status" page shows that I need to submit my TOEFL scores

I have dropped a mail to the McCombs application processing folks for this.
Has anyone else faced this problem or is facing this problem?

I am facing the same issue. I read somewhere that it will be like this till they start reviewing applications. After that they will update the issue.
Do let me know when they reply to your email.

As per my experience last year, the TOEFL status takes a few weeks to update on the "My Status" page. No need to worry.

If you look at last year's thread, it appears that the first round of interview requests were sent out 7-10 days after the deadline. Best of luck everyone!

Got the following reply. Feeling somewhat better now.

"If you request a TOEFL or IELTS waiver, you may see these scores listed as an outstanding requirement in your online status check, as your waiver status is not updated instantaneously. Our admissions team will contact you directly during the admissions process if your waiver is not approved and you need to submit an English language proficiency test score."

Hi,

I don't think you should wait for instructions via e-mail.
Login here: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/acct/rec/wio/wio_home.WBX

1 day after submitting my application, I was able to pay via this page.
hope it helps.
