I don't think any of us have any great insight into the minds of the GIAC but I imagine that you have been passed over in favor of the "complete" apps that came in between your submission and you rectifying the error. Sucks, but it's already happened. You'll still be in front of me though! I submitted 1/15 and overnighted transcripts 1/14, but they still haven't showed up online. In light of your story I'll probably call Monday rather than waiting a full 2 weeks.

I'm similar to you.... I overnighted my transcript the 14th (which now show up) and am waiting for them to update my gmat score which should have arrived before the transcript. Bottom of the pile....

I sent my transcripts on 12/31 and overnighted them again on 1/12. They still don't show up! I am going for the Inside the MBA event and will ask the admissions representative if my application will be considered at all. I don't think they have even started reviewing my app considering my transcripts are not showing up. I worked really hard on this app, but it seems the effort is going to be a waste :(

Charu, did you send a document matching form with the transcripts? Have you called the GIAC to find out why your status reflects that your transcripts have not been received yet? The MBA program office will probably not be able to help you with this. You can talk to them today but it is the GIAC that updates the application record.

I had called them twice earlier and was asked to call back later as it takes up to 3 weeks for the status of transcripts to be updated. I called again a few minutes ago and here's what the GIAC told me - My first set of transcripts was probably never received - I sent it using priority mail - don't know why that happened.
The second set - FedEx overnight - must have been received as the tracking number shows delivered on 1/13. But they are still opening the transcripts received on the 7th of Jan. So I need to call them again if the status does not update in a few days.

Thanks austinwriter.

For anyone who had GMAT scores not showing up as received on the system, I called and they update received reports on a weekly basis on Fridays. Mine were just posted. Anyway, I hope that helps anyone who was in a similar predicament.

My status still reads: "we've received all the items needed to review your application for admission."

It has been like this for over a week. Should I ask them why it hasn't been sent for review?

I talked to GIAC and they told me that they will start reviewing round 2 apps in Feb. You can call them to confirm.

Interesting - I was poking around on the various status pages today. I've had "Your app has been forwarded to the Graduate Committee for review" for the past couple of weeks. Nothing has changed on the status check, and it still goes to Dean Hirst's letter.

I tried clicking on the Interview Scheduler, and it let me through and schedule an interview. I'm already signed up for MBA Day next week on 1/29, so I used the tool to schedule an on-campus interview that day.

I haven't gotten an email or anything about interviewing yet... maybe I'm about to get one today and I just beat it to the punch. I remember clicking around the interview tool a long time ago, and it telling me that I had not been invited to interview yet.

Interesting. I just checked and was able to do the same. Anyone else's thoughts? All of my materials were received Dec 17th, still haven't received any word yet.

Just pulled this off the Texas website: https://acsprod.mccombs.utexas.edu/texa ... faq.asp#Q3

Q: What do I have to do to gain access to the Interview Scheduler?
A: Applicants automatically have access to the scheduler as soon as they are invited to participate in an admissions interview. The timing of an invitation does not reflect the likelihood of admission.

I'm hoping for the best. As an event planner, I'd say the safest assumption would be that there's a time gap between our records being updated in their system and the delivery of the email invitations - it's an issue we deal with all the time in our event registration databases.

In any case, I had already scheduled my trip to Austin to visit, and I've got an interview confirmation email now... if anything, it should show our enthusiasm about Texas right? :) I'm sure I'm not the only one who obsessively checks the status pages all day.

I think your assumptions are correct. When I check the Interview scheduler page, I get an error stating that an interview invite has not been sent yet. All the best!

When did you submit? If our speculation is correct, it may be that your app hasn't really been reviewed yet. All my materials were received 12/17. Also, for what it's worth, our stats are almost identical.

I checked the interview page this morning in response to the earlier posts, and it wouldn't let me in. Then this afternoon, I got an email inviting me to interview! Now the site works for me and I was just able to schedule an interview. Anyone have any tips?

Yeah I guess my app has not been reviewed yet. I submitted my app on 12/29 but my transcripts are not showing up as received. I am following up with the GIAC.
