I'm visiting McCombs this Friday for the info session?

Anyone else going, want to meet up? I'm coming from CA, and have a 6:30 flight back to Orange County but will be there thursday night and most of Friday?

If anyone knows any students that could spare 30 minutes, I'd love to buy them lunch / coffee to chat about the McCombs experience.

Thanks

McCombs is hard to beat from an accounting perspective. if you're accepted you'll have the chance to take some MBA-level classes as well. Good luck!

Are you applying for MBA (masters in business administration) or MPA (masters in professional accounting)?
Here's the stat for MPA students: https://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/mpa/tradi ... INAL_1.pdf

Your GPA is very good, but you should try to improve you GMAT score.

I don't know anything about MPA, but if you are applying for MBA, it would be good to know your work experience and goals.

I did - I really liked her too - she was super sweet. I think I was the only woman to interview that day, so you probably saw me - though I think there were some other girls who participated in the lunch / info session. The weather was dreadful that day and I *still* really liked the campus.

Waitlisted, which is even more frustrating. This means I now have to work on Darden, Duke, and SMU applications to be sure I get in somewhere. I do have some regrets about interviewing on campus. I probably should have done a visit and interviewed here in Dallas. What's another $750 in application fees and another 100 hours of time?

I got an email notifying me that my status changed online. I thought the worst at that point. I logged in to find out that I was waitlisted, which isn't ideal, but I'll take that over a ding any day. The other mistake that I think I made was listing the other programs that I was applying to, which I believe might have backfired. Lessons learned for round 2 applications. I really was hoping to get an admit to Texas after my campus visit.

JCT -- sorry to hear about the waitlist. That is really surprising to me, especially since you're an in-state resident. It also has me a little concerned for the rest of us who haven't heard yet. Here's to better luck with the other apps.

Thank you, I really think being a Texas resident hurts your odds rather than helps.

Sorry to hear. I think McCombs rejected some people with high stats last year as well. My speculation is that if McCombs thinks you are using them as a back up (they probably did if you listed Wharton, Booth and HBS as the other schools you are applying for), they might reject you rather lowering their yield. I think if you show interest while you are on waitlist, you'll have a good chance of getting off of it.

Yes, I am looking to get admited in the MPA program it is very tough to beat! :) It's my first choice. After speaking with the MPA advisor, I plan on retaking the GMAT early January for my 3rd attempt. I barely have any prior work experience as I am relatively younge, 21, I am getting an internship this summer though.

Since some calls went out last Friday and none have gone out this week (that I know of), I'm thinking (hoping) the adcom is going to make calls tomorrow. My guess is they are making decisions M-Th this week and then are going call those admitted tomorrow. The wait is KILLING me though...
