It seems that you may be able to establish residency for the 2nd yr... this is a big deal since the difference in tuition is something like 10-15k?

According to the UT website:
"Q. What do I need to do, or what documents do I need to fill out when I apply for Residency?
A. A prospective student must have an admission application on file before submitting the Residency Core Questions or the Residency Affadavit. Currently enrolled students may submit the Residency Core Questions once they or their parents have lived here for 11 consecutive months. "

So according to this, it seems that it is not difficult to apply for residency for the 2nd yr.... thoughts?

More info at
https://www.utexas.edu/student/admissions/residency/
and
https://www.utexas.edu/student/admission ... aq.html#q2

That quote is more geared for undergrads who are considered dependents of their parents while in college, thus their parents are actually the ones establishing residency...

Here is the actual form:

https://www.utexas.edu/student/admission ... ad/rcc.pdf


Their requirements are very specific for residency: you either must own property or a business in Texas or have a professional license or have been gainfully employed in the state (no, work study does not count for this) or married to a Texan for 12 months prior to enrolling....however, if you are military and you have made your state of residence TX even if you live out of the state right now you will get in-state tuition. Another option is if you are military and your home of record is TX then you qualify for the Hazelwood Act.

I've talked to several McCombs students @ Texas Friday and they brought the residency issue up. I wasn't paying whole a lot of attention to it since I'd be considered in-state (but international) student; however, the students mentioned that they purchased small property (=land) in the middle of nowhere at the begging of their studies hoping to qualify for in-state tuition starting their second year.

Ding for me too. Sort of expected it after the long wait and reading about a few admits here the past few weeks. Thought the interview went well, so I'm guessing they saw something they didn't like when they go back to review applications.

On a positive note, I'm reasonably certain of what I need to improve. The only problem is I'm not too sure how to improve work experience. That's pretty much why I was considering an MBA.

Well all, I've been dinged as well. Horseboat, I'm totally with you. My backgrounds is in architecture and the industry has been clobbered. I've tried to get into consulting, but a lot of their employees are on "the bench" so they don't really have any openings either.

To the rest of those who have been laid-off - what have you been pursuing?

Sorry to hear about the dings. I know you guys have been waiting a long time. I, too, am laid off but I've been working for a friends' start-up hedge fund a few times a week (no pay). Also, just networking with people in my target industry (IB).

I had that same issue when I clicked on a link to get to my status. I bookmarked the link below and it works for me.

Still waiting in limbo as of right now.

And looks like I was right about the feedback > just got dinged. Definitely not worth the 3+ months wait.

Good luck to the ones still waiting!
