I'm guessing no one heard about scholarships yet? I haven't heard anything.

Nada.

Are most students awarded scholarships?

congrats chicagoan
Wow, this year's applicants have really gone up (not sure if it's in general or just at McCombs). 36% increase, and the season isn't even over yet. No wonder it's so damn hard to get in a bschool. Crazy!

Still no update on my Status Check page that they have received my transcript. I really did not think it would get to the holiday break without updating, after seeing FedEx delivery on 12/7. :(

Just sent GIAC a message on the website with all my details, and hopefully someone will be able to confirm if they got anything. I'm starting to wonder if I should send in another one just to be safe - what if something went wrong with the first copy, and they don't let me know until January?

I would call the MAC. Something similar happened to my GMAT where I requested the score around 11/1, it was available 11/3, but the school did not post receipt until a week later. Have your UT ID number ready.

MAC numbers:
512-471-7617
512-232-5490

Give them a call. Same thing happened to me, and I gave a follow up call last week. The woman I spoke to indicated that this has happened to numerous people this year, unfortunately. Turns out they do have everything needed to process my application. Give them a call and see if you're good to go or not.

Just talked to GIAC, and the guy said it will be up to 3 weeks after the date of delivery. It also looks like they are working through the holidays (other than 12/24-25 and 12/31-1/1), and they are pretty swamped right now. I guess just the MBA admissions dept. closes for the holiday.

So I guess I'll call again next week if it doesn't show up by then...

Awesome, it just updated to Received... although it seems to be a coincidence, since I didn't leave my app ID or info with the person I spoke to. Anyway, that's a relief!

I interviewed on 12/7. I was told then that I would hear back in six weeks.

Hoping my interviewer was wrong and I get a call before the end of the day.

Good luck to everyone who is waiting !!!
