McCombs(UT Austin) 2013 - Calling All Waitlisted Applicants.

Has anyone received any waitlist updates after the request for the video interview and additional information? Wondering if they will be sending out updates soon, or just make all of the decisions at once.

nothing yet. I wouldn't expect much of anything until late next week at the earliest. From what I understand, the waitlist process can drag on until basically the week before school.

I actually spoke with someone from admissions 2 weeks ago, and he told me that they expected to notify everyone on the wait list by May 10th. I definitely hope it doesn't drag on that long or I'll be forced to commit to other programs.

good luck to all as we approach may 10th.

Just got the email late last night.

No request yet for "additional information".

Same here, R4 waitlist w/o interview.
Is there a generally understood meaning of being WL without an interview vs with?

not sure but i'd think they may interview you yet if you are on the waitlist

Why in the heck are they still waitlisting people without interviewing?

Just received a ding from Mccombs
i was an international applicant and was wait listed in round 3
Good luck to rest of you guys

Hopefully we start seeing some waitlist movement this week. Good luck everyone..and update us if you hear anything.

I think Friday is the last to get an acceptance from McCombs. Given the fact that they started reviewing applications end of April, it's surprising that we haven't seen any movement yet. Good Luck all.

How does the acceptance take place?
1. Do they call people who got admitted? Or just email them?
2. Do they also call international students who got admitted? Or just email them? (I'm asking since I'm in Israel..it's 7-10 hours later than in the US)
3. Is Friday the deadline?
4. If one hasn't heard back by then is one automatically denied? Or is one to get an email?

Is it true that they can keep people on the WL until school starts? It wouldn't matter as people need to get ready for next year if they're denied but still..
Sorry for rambling..just wanted to be sure that the sleepless night will end anytime soon
Thanks

Hello from Lebanon! Here's hoping that things don't escalate into another needless war

While I'm not qualified to answer your questions, I would posit that the sleepless nights won't be ending too soon for most wait-listers. The reason being that wait-listers obviously take the place of admitted applicants who decline attendance. Logically, the majority of these should not be as close to the decision notification deadline as the applicant response deadline. With that said, it is widely accepted that Round 4 has room for very few admits in the first place, leaving even fewer spots to be declined and filled by wait-listers. On the other hand, there are always some who declared intent to matriculate, put down their deposits, moved off a wait-list at another school they preferred over UT, and change their mind, opening another spot for a wait-lister. This last scenario seems to potentially go on throughout the summer.

Soooo, yea let's not hold our breath just yet

There's one thing you forgot my neighborino to the north - International students need to get notified by a certain deadline - after which they cannot get their VISA issued

Yea I did forget. I guess I'm lucky as a dual citizen to not have to worry about that. When is the Visa deadline?

not even a single acceptance this week? not looking good my friends.

R2 waitlisted with interview...still no reply...does anyone know how long this is going to go on?? the waiting is quite frustrating.
