Mine was April 15th. I think I remember an earlier one being on the 15th of February for someone admitted in January?

Umm...has anyone taken a look at the recently posted costs for 2010 - 2011? Did they seriously increase in-state tuition by 14%? That is ridiculous.

(30,128 - 26,450)/26450 = 13.9%

Maybe the 2009 - 2010 number excluded fees whereas the 10 - 11 number includes them?

UPDATE: Looking at the tuition recommendations proposed by the President, MBA tuition looks like it was supposed to go from 12,595 per semester to 13,398 (for 2010 - 2011)...that includes a new fee of $65...so how did we get to 30,128?

Just got dinged sometime this afternoon.

"Your application has been given careful consideration by the Admissions Committee. On the basis of their recommendation, your application has been denied. If you have questions, please contact the Graduate School of Business directly."

Dings don't hurt as much when you've got an admit in your back pocket I suppose.

Good luck to everyone else!

Speculating here:

According to McCombs website, the final deadline to apply for domestic applicants is April 1st (https://mba.mccombs.utexas.edu/admissions/adm/)

Even if it's just a few people that waited until end of March to apply, the adcom still needs to review their applications and invite them to interview. I think that after they have the last crop of applicants in, they'll make the final evaluations and announce their decisions to all remaining applicants, including waitlist ones.

My guess is that the cat will be out of the bag by the end of April. UT cannot be oblivious to the fact that other schools are finishing up announcing their decisions as well and their prospective candidates may be "stolen away."

My own timeline (international applicant, although residing in TX now): applied 1/15, interview invite 2/26, interview 3/9 - still waiting for an answer.

P.S. My UT interviewer told me that she initially did not plan to apply to McCombs and only did so in the very end of the process, after she was rejected by other top schools. Clearly, she was admitted. :-) There's still hope, people!

P.P.S. And then she said that two years at McCombs were the best time of her life and she's really glad she applied and went there.

I was invited to interview early February and interviewed on 2/26. The interviewer told me the decision would be out in about 2 weeks and I heard back yesterday via status check.

BusinessWeek data for last year...

Applicants wait-listed during the last admissions cycle: 239

Wait-listed applicants admitted for the semester to which they applied: 47

Not sure about the "for the semester to which they applied" part. Maybe that's just a generic heading since there are some schools with a J-term (CBS for example).

There has been some movement on the waitlist, check the first page.

FWIW, my deadline for declining the offer of admission was today, so I figure they will have a better idea of what movement to initiate off the waitlist after today.
