I just got accepted! It took a long time to process my application so anyone who is still waiting to hear back from R1 don't give up hope.

Congrats! Usually comes in waves so we might get a flurry on here today. Any of those accepted (or dinged) know if and when they call references?

Congrats that's great!

Anyone else submitted around the deadline but still not have their info forwarded for review? Waiting is frustrating, but not even making the review stage is killing me. Adcom must be swamped.

Had my interview yesterday. Very resume focused, but other questions that stood out to me include

1) most frustrating part at work
2) what did you learn about yourself in the process
3) what do you look for in a teammate
4) what would u do if a teammate isn't pulling their weight
5) do you have any regrets
6) describe a time you failed, and what you learned

and my favorite....if your alma mater and texas played each other, who would you root for?

I'm onto interviewer #3 now. There are only like 4 within a 90 minutes driving distance and 2 have not answered my request. Ugh.

For roll call - I'm 99% sure at this point that I'll be declining UT's offer for Tuck (they gave me more money) or Darden (I still don't know if they gave me any money).

Congrats to all admits and hopefully this means one of your will be pulled off the waitlist. McCombs is an AWESOME school and I'm very sad that I won't be joining you in Austin as a Longhorn.

Just got an invite for R2 interview. Any advantages to interviewing on-campus as opposed to off-campus?

Good luck for those of you still waiting on decisions and interviews. To update the thread I was accepted to MIT Sloan and will be matriculating there this fall. I know I'll be thinking of Austin this winter. Good luck to you all!

Same boat - I applied on 1/15, the last doc that they show was 1/19 but I called last week and was told that it didn't go complete until 1/28 (don't know why). Mine still hasn't been sent for review..

Popper -- I was in the same boat as you until today. I just looked and my application has now been forwarded to adcom. My materials were all in at a similar time to yours. Still no interview invite, but at least they are looking.
