asianstyles, I haven't heard anything. :( I read the same post on BW and got a little bit freaked out. I am really hoping to hear something before UT admissions office closes up shop for winter break. Apparently last year they were closed from 12/19 to around 1/5.

I am hoping to hear back soon also. I interviewed on November 5th, so it will be about 4 weeks since my interview in a few days. During my interview, they said I would hear back in about 4 to 6 weeks.

Thank you for the encouraging words.. if I don't hear in the next 10 days, it's over for me. There is no thread for Rice, but I interviewed with them last Wednesday..

Hey hookem,

If you haven't heard anything yet I would email MAC and just ask to make sure all of your documents are in and there is nothing further for you to do - a subtle way of saying, "Where the @$%# is my invite?!"

I applied to Rice as well and hope to hear from them in the next 2 weeks. If you get a decision or hear anything from the school let me know. I'll do the same. It would be nice if Rice had a forum!

As far as the guy who got dinged on the BW forum, I'm not sure if that is good news or bad! I have mixed feelings about it, but at least that means that decisions are being made.

*fingers crossed*

I couldn't find the address that McCombs wants us to send the transcripts to? Does anyone have it handy?

If I recall correctly, McCombs requires an attachment sheet (available in PDF download) to be submitted with additional information mailed to them. But I would be wrong. You should probably give them a call.

This is correct. You should send in the attachment sheet with your transcripts. It has the address on the attachment sheet.

elcapitan,

I should email them, every time I try calling them it goes to an automated system and I cannot talk to anyone.

Did you interview at Rice already? I am hoping to hear back from them in the new year because they said 6 weeks, and I interviewed on Nov. 25th.

PS: Can anyone send me the link for McCombs BW forum?

Thanks and GLTA!

Yes please add me to the roll call. My app should be submitted within 8-10 days.

Regarding the PDF letter, I saw that notice, and thats where my confusion arose. Most schools consider transcripts official only if they are sealed by the registar. But they want "official" transcripts that have been opened and have the PDF included?

I think you should put the sealed transcript and the cover letter together in an envelope and mail it in.

I interviewed on October 28th I think. I didn't ask them about when I could expect to hear back from them because most information I saw online hinted towards a mid-December decision.

I'm actually a bit glad I haven't heard from them yet because if McCombs is a little late getting a decision out I don't want to end up putting down a $2K deposit with Rice to avoid losing my spot, assuming acceptance of course.

I hope we both get into McCombs - but Rice (aside from the $$$$$$$$$$ in tuition) is still a kick-ass MBA!

Rice would be my backup as well. I haven't submitted yet, I want to hear from Texas first. The Rice website says if you apply R1 (by Nov 9th), then you will get a decision by Dec 18th.

Ok... I suppose I should quit lurking.

I applied 10/2... interviewed 10/23. Also on the 23rd I went to a class visit and lunch.

In one on one interviews I tend to do poorly but I think I did alright. I did choke on the teamwork question a bit (had to be asked follow-ups) which is unfortunate because I work in an environment that requires a ton of team work and cross department communication.
