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.

GMAT: 720
GPA: 3.25
Degree: BS Finance (plus 18 hours accounting)
Age: 27
WE at matriculation: 6 years (finance/tax/accouting)

Congrats!!! What area code was the call from?

Also, I interviewed about a week after you, so hopefully I will find out soon.

I got a voicemail last night from an unknown number, it was one of the associate directors of admissions asking me to call her back. I finally got a hold of her this morning on my third attempt. She said they are just now starting to trickle out decisions. Also, the online status check isn't updating yet so there is no sense in checking it every minute (like I have been doing for the past week!).

Sorry for the "!!!!!" I had to post something before running back into the meeting.

Now I am going to be sitting by my phone waiting for a call or waiting for a ding email.

Waiting sucks. Maybe I should just focus on my UCLA interview on Monday so I can take my mind off of waiting.
