Has any one got scholarship? When I asked, the Associate Director told that they have awarded a few but I did not figure in the list. Then he forwarded a mail containing information about various funding option.

Thanks for the info about 2012 Preview Weekend and the other 2012 schedule. I didn't realize we'd have to be there in early August. Helpful; thanks. Also happy to see that it looks like Preview Weekend will be before the deadline for deciding whether I'll go there (if I'm admitted). Thanks again.

So I guess if you're a domestic applicant and you haven't been contacted yet then you can expect a waitlist or ding?
For those of you who have been contacted, has your application status changed to reflect admission?
The application status hasn't changed yet, and I don't expect it to until Friday. One thing to keep in mind is that there were 125 R1 interviews (per a blog entry). UT accepts 50% of interviewed applicants (probably slightly higher during R1 when they're trying to fill their class). Therefore, they had to call ~ 60-75 people. I could see that taking longer than Thur. & Fri. Best of luck.

I sent in my app last week with the R2 deadline and today I received an email with invitation to interview with a member of the AdCom visiting my local area (major metropolitan area in US) in January. Is it just me or does that seem like a REALLY quick turnaround time to be invited for an interview? What can I take this to mean, aside from the fact that it seems I made some sort of initial cut.
Edit to add - and on this note, what do people think would be the best strategy for interviewing? The email says to let them know if I prefer an on-campus McCombs one and they'll set that up. For what it's worth, I already did a campus/class visit a few months ago. I almost wonder if it's better to take them up on the offer to do local since it's an admissions officer and not an alum

The R1 interview invites started getting sent out 1 week after the app. deadline, too, so it's normal. Although I don't know if it's still true, McCombs used to use an algorithm to do the heavy lifting for interview invites; hence, the quickness. Also, I think I read that they were trying to get out most of the R2 invites before the winter break. You should feel well about making the first cut because only ~50% of applicants get interview invites.
If you've already gotten a campus visit in, a couple current students told me not to worry about doing the interview on campus. Take advantage of the fact you've got an AdCom member coming into your town. They will be in the decision room to be your advocate if you end up on the fence. That's just my opinion, though, so the MAC student can interject if I missed the mark.

Awesome, thanks for the insight. I went ahead and replied saying I'm good with the local interview. *Fingers crossed!*

I see that a couple of international students including ones from India have received their admits already. So for the ones who haven't heard yet from the admissions committee and having status "in review"... Is it the end of game? should I consider it a ding?

Anyone waiting for other schools to get back to them to make a final decision on McCombs?
I am 99% sold on McCombs but I still want to wait to hear from the highly ranked programs I interviewed with (especially if they suprise me a lot with some $). I'll know by Monday if McCombs becomes 100% sure.

Hi everyone I have submitted my application on R2 deadline (12/04). My TOEFL official score report hasnt arrived to McCombs yet, and my application status is incomplete with "One thing to do - TOEFL official score report". Doest it mean that my application is not getting reviewed till it will be updated, and there is no chance to get interview invitation before that?

Does any one know whether McCombs have rolled out all the offers for Round 1 or does it release decisions in batches - in that case we heard about the 1st batch last Thursday and we should hear about the next by 14th? Also, did anyone contact the AdCom by any chance? Not sure how the decisions were rolled out last year.

I got interviewed on campus but didn't receive any email after that. I called the school this morning asking about the admission decision, but unfortunately they didn't tell me anything and asked me to wait till 14th... Bad.

So I applied for the executive program. Was invited for an interview shortly before Thanksgiving. Now they want to bring me back for a second interview, probably a group interview. Likely sometime in January. Is this normal?

Hi Shmirill
I hope not. From what I understand from the conversations on this forum and FAQ on the website, I dont think adcom will withhold processing your app. I am in the same boat. My GMAT score still shows up in "to do" list. I had reported my score to UT on 3rd of December. Infact I called up the admissions office yesterday and all I got from them was"We do not receive the official score reports. The GIAC does and even they would not be able to verify if you tried to reach them at this pt. Just sit tight and wait for the list to be updated"
I am scheduled to speak to a MAC (McCombs Admissions Committee) member later today. Will find out abt this and let you know. Hope this helps.
