Will follow up with the alumnus once before contacting adcom. Hopefully, I can get PI rather than a skype interview.

Are you talking about round 2 interviews? I still haven't heard from them

Hi, Got an interview invite. I'm from Bangladesh and I have to opt for Skype. Any suggestions? Thank you. Rupok

I am in McCombs for Round 1. Does anyone receive admission letter or package from McCombs?

Can those of you who received R2 interview mention the date you receive it? Thanks.

Anyone remember what day they said they were mailing out the official info packets to admitted students? I thought it was Dec. 20-something, but can't recall exactly. That info can't come soon enough since we can't really begin to make decisions until scholarship info is known.

I already sent in my deposit to hold my place in the class, but you can just ask the AdCom member. In my case, I asked Shelley Clifford because she was the one who called me w/ the admittance decision. Like I mentioned earlier, I didn't get one, but supposedly all the R1 scholarships have been released already. Posted from my mobile device
