Hey all. Congratulations to those who are in or have been invited for interview.

I applied for the Dec. 4 deadline and haven't heard from the adcom yet. Just wondering if there's still a chance to get a positive response, since the decision notification date is Feb. 15. Anyone has any info to share?

Just talked to admissions! I am in! Admissions said email with official notification will go out on Friday as expected. Seems like they are making a call to everyone that got in until then. Keep the faith everyone.

I just got the admit call! Woohoo!

This is my first admit and it means my MBA dream is really happening.

I did not receive the email, to those who are still waiting.

I wonder why some people are being called and some emailed. People who were called: Did they tell you, too, that you'd hear about scholarships in a couple weeks?

Ah yes, the great waitlist! I didn't get the interview invite either. That's why I've kinda given up hope. Fingers crossed, still. WL will be better than being rejected. Good luck!

Congrats to all those admitted.

Just missed a call from a (512) area code. Does admissions typically call back or email if you miss the call? I'm so jittery right now I can't stand it.

Good luck, everyone.

I missed the call as well so I called back few times. You should do the same to take care of the anxiety!

Thanks for the advice. Called back, no answer. Guess I gotta wait this one out.

This process sure ain't easy, huh?

For all of you still waiting, looks like calls are still going out today.

Haha, it's exciting. At least you know you got in. I'd call back after 30 minutes or so. That's what I did and ad com answered and gave me the offer.

Congratulations, everyone! Sorry to ask about this again, but were those of you who got phone calls also told that scholarship info would follow later?

I don't think she mentioned anything about scholarships to me, but she said the official e-mails will go out on Friday, and a welcome packet will be mailed out. I'm assuming there will be more information there.

Longtime lurker, first-time poster. I just received my call, so they are still working through that list. Keep the faith if you are still waiting.
