Hi guys! I got an interview invite 5 days back! Anyone else from Mumbai with an interview invite? Can anyone tell me if its better to schedule an interview with an alum or skype with student? This is the only invite I've got, so nervous! :( Also, is it mandatory to schedule the appointment within a week of receiving an invite?

To those from India who got an interview invite,

Does your application status say "Complete" now ? Mine still says incomplete with TOEFL on the required things. I'm wondering if the Incomplete / Complete has any kind of relation to whether the app has been read or not.

Thanks in advance !!

Hi,

My app status just says "Application Submitted: 01/21/2014" and "Awaiting" for the TOEFL score report, in the checklist...

So I have way too much time on my hands and I'm dying for some word from Texas, so I did some investigating. Reading another forum, I remembered that Youtube offers analytics on your videos. I did the video essay and from what I can gather, it has not been viewed by anyone recently. I'm taking this to mean they haven't reviewed my candidacy yet.

I'm just curious, can anyone with an interview invite who did a video essay confirm their video was looked at shortly before they received an invite? I'm curious if there is a correlation.

jayakalyanteja - That's a pretty intelligent assumption. Mine still says incomplete as well, so perhaps that means our apps haven't been processed/read yet. Only time will tell!

BizSchoolorBust - Another great hypothesis. You inspired me to look into my youtube analytics. Interestingly, I have had 29 total views (since Jan 5 posting) and 3 views from the state of Texas--2 on the 17th and one on the 18th of Jan. Upon further examination, I doubt these views are from UT adcoms as I narrowed down the 3 views originating in Texas and the "traffic source" tab says that one view is from a google search, one from youtube search, and one from "external website." Are we overthinking this whole thing yet? :)

Haha, I did the same on Vimeo for my video essay. I had submitted my application on October 15th for Round 1 and had 6 views by October 18th and about 25 views just before the notification date. Unfortunately, I couldn't track where the video was being viewed, but my guess is that they probably haven't reached your application yet. Just hope for the best - Good luck!

Hi,

There are a couple of things under "Recommended" in the My Status App. Do we have to fill/complete those for our application to be considered?
Even I have TOEFL under To-do things. Not sure how long its going to take for them to accept it.

I would definitely recommend meeting with an alum especially since you live in Mumbai and there would be plenty of alum in the area. In my opinion, the Skype option should be used only if alums are not in the area and its not possible to meet with a person face-to-face - just my personal recommendation. I used Skype because I didn't have any option.

Congrats for the invite, am hoping mine is on the way as well :)

The site mentions that you need to schedule an interview within a week, so I guess it is mandatory.

And do meet with alum if possible, in-person interviews give you more chance to showcase yourself I feel.

Best luck mate and do share your interview experience once done!

Anyone received an interview invite since the first batch went out last Wednesday (1/29) ? Should we be expecting another batch anytime soon or are the chances to get one pretty slim now ?

@Ishank17
My app only just went into "under review' phase. Till yesterday it showed TOEFL as pending. So I guess they are still reviewing applications for completeness, more interview invites are going to come. Hold on!

Makes sense. My application has been under review for a while now and McCombs is my top choice for a variety of reasons so the lull in interview invites since 1/29 has been a bit disappointing.

Hi,

For all of us who have TOEFL pending in the my status website, I got a mail yesterday night from McCombs, stating that since I did check the box for TOEFL waiver, the request will be automatically processed.

I will have to regularly check the website, there will be no notification. If the request is not approved, then we will get a mail from the office.

Lets keep our fingers crossed. I guess we will get further correspondence from McCombs only after TOEFL request is cleared.

Thanks
