Nope. No interview invite yet. :/ Guess I'm probably out of the running...

Don't lose hope! Actually, my status is the following: "We have received all credentials required to process your application. Your file has been forwarded to the Graduate Committee for review." - even though I did finally get an invite this morning.

On admissions website (https://mba.mccombs.utexas.edu/admissions/adm/) it says the final date for submission for domestic students is April 1st. So I guess the invites will keep going out for a couple of months longer.

I doubt there is a set review time within which they have to get back to you with either a ding or an interview. I looked through last year's thread after seeing many two-week-turnaround invites on this one, and saw some people waiting month and a half. I just waited over a month myself. Give it time - and make sure your filters are set to accept all emails from UT into the Inbox!

Thanks for the positive comments! Good luck with your interview. I'm thinking warm Austin thoughts as the snow accumulates in NYC...

I just had an interview on this Monday with one of the Alumni in the food court in the department store.
The questions were very tough but I think I could do it well.
The interviewer is very friendly and helpful to give information about Mccombs.

By the way, does anybody know when the decision will be announced?

No, as you can see from the previous 38 pages, the timing can be anywhere from 3 days to 6+ weeks.

@ all admitted applicants,

when I try to click on welcome video link in the welcome.html page, I see that it redirects to a link inside /contents/videos/videofiles/. Unfortunately in my case there is nothing inside that directory except a header .gif file. So strangely all videos and images are missing from my USB drive content. :cry:

The total memory space occupied by the USB drive received by me in the admit package is 158MB.

Guys,
Could you please share how much data in MB/GB is there in the pen drive so that I could know how much info is missing from the one I received :roll:

Thanks!

To all who have interviewed off-campus: How did you approach the selection of your interviewer (given that you had a choice)?

Since I live in Houston, I don't really want to make a trip to Austin for an on-campus interview if I don't have to. I also feel that the admissions people see so many applicants that it's really hard to stand out, while an alumnus would be more sympathetic and ... not jaded?

There are 68 alumni in my area, so I have a lot of choices.

[*]Should I approach recent grads or older ones? I'm leaning towards recent since they were in my shoes not so long ago and would also be more insightful about the current state of the school.

[*]Should I go for somebody in my current industry, or the one I want to go into? Since I'd like to work in consulting after grad, I'm a little worried about interviewing with them now, since their selection process is so challenging. :-)

I know in the end it's all a gamble and I just have to hope I find somebody compatible with me. However, I think with a smart choice of background, I can maximize my chances.

Thank you for your advice in advance!

I interviewed off-campus and I actually had a heck of a time finding someone since no one was responding to my requests. Took me ~2.5 weeks to find someone. I did it by geographic location, starting close and fanning out.

Hi I just found this forum and have found it pretty informative so maybe I will be able to get some feedback on my situation: I submitted my app Dec 6th, interviewed off-campus Dec 17th, and havent heard anything since. I called the admissions comittee and was told that I "shouldnt worry" until I hit the 12-week mark (March 6th).

In reading many of the posts I am getting the sense that this is on the long-end of the spectrum in terms of getting a decision post-interview (I could be mistaken). Anyone have any thoughts on that? Also, the app status check page has remained "all materials received, your app has been forwarded...." the entire time.

Thanks!

I would suggest picking someone who potentially understands your current work experience. That way, they will understand the significance of your accomplishments. If that isn't possible, I would chose someone who is in your target field, in which case you can wow them with your well-thought out career goals.

Holy mercy. I am impatient because I interviewed 2.5 weeks ago. Online they said 4 - 6 weeks after your file has been forwarded so 12 seems pretty extreme. I had my interview before my file even changed to forwarded to review so I am just generally confused about what to expect. I have another school's deposit due next Friday so I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up to hear something by then. Fortunately it's under $1000 so I'll just pay it and continue to wait on McCombs.
