Good to hear that. Can you tell what was discussed in this interview and who from the admissions committee talked to you as part of this phone conversation?

It was a very quick conversation. She asked me if I was still interested in the program and if i had any updates. I told her about a recent promotion I got and then the convo was over. My first interview was the same way. It only lasted around 10-15 minutes. I was surprised to even get a wl

Congrats to the recent waitlisters being admitted!

Just uploaded my video interviews... Can't say that it wasn't a bit awkward, but hopefully I did ok. :)

Good luck to all in the coming weeks!

Just received another waitlist update from McCombs. They asked to schedule a 15 minute phone interview prior to June 7.

Since their "early May" estimate ended up being May 10th, this seems to indicate that the "early June" update will likely be around Monday June 10. Anyone else receive an email?

I got the same email. I get the sense they really want to see if we're still interested in McCombs and to convince them of that. Seems like waiting it out for several months would be enough but who knows. This whole process has been far from what I ever expected.
