yuskay- just call the GIAC (not the business school). They are usually very helpful. They probably might not have updated the records. I had a small problem with one of my updates and I called them. They fixed it even before the phone call ended. Unless they show your records as complete, the B-school might not process your app.

Thank you. I am now calling both parties to fix the situation. Well, a man at GIAC told me he found an access record by Austin electrically.

Yuskay, I had a similar issue and I called the GIAC and they fixed it immediately over the phone. They try to match everything in your application by your SSN, but if you don't report that on your GMAT, apparently you can run into a few issues. The woman I spoke to was super nice and helpful.

Smadge 37, thanx. Can I ask what my SSN stands for?

It stands for Social Security Number. If you are an international student, you probably don't have one.

No one heard from McCombs today either? I was told I would hear by the end of this week and I am glued to the comp checking my status every other minute. But all I get is the Dean's message. It is already 3.30 PM Central and the office will close in an hour and a half.

By the way a question for everyone- Does the adcom work on Saturdays? Did anyone here get a call on Saturday?

I would calm down. I know that is tough, but freaking out on this forum is not going to help. My advice, prep for interviews. You are all very smart, and will probably receive at least one. Work on selling yourself. Define 3 - 4 stories that tell who you are as a person. Then interweave those into experiences both professional and personal that answer why mba, why this school, strengths weakness, etc...

Just my advice. Also, side bet early R2 submit decissions come out in two parts starting January 25th. Anyone want to take over/under?

Thanks Soulive. The problem is I already interviewed. Pretty long ago (before Thanksgiving) actually. And I was told that I would hear back by the end of this week. I was eager before but today, I am kind of desperate. Bordering on the insane I would say!

No calls or notifications today.

I applied before the first deadline, interviewed just before Thanksgiving and have still not heard back. Fingers crossed! Hopefully, will hear something tomorrow.

Had a question- has any international student received a decision? Wondering if they are processing the R1 domestic applicants first.

All the best to everyone.

I'm an international applicant, waitlisted 12/9. Hope this helps.

Champ, thanks for the reply. Did you interview on or off campus? I interviewed on the 23rd as well. Would you mind sharing your profile?

I interviewed on campus:
670 GMAT
3.67 GPA
3 years WE as of now (non-profit org)
plethora of extracurriculars

What's your background? I'm planning to visit the campus soon for MBA Friday, hopefully that will help.
