In line with our school mission and values, we introduced a dynamic video assessment component as part of the 2022-23 admission cycle, offering an alternative approach to a more traditional essay and interview format. Given all applicants will complete the video assessment, MBA candidates will have increased access to the application process and the opportunity to share their stories with us in their own voice. Through the video assessment, the admissions committee will have a chance to experience the “real” you, beyond a resume, test scores, and transcripts. Lastly, the video assessment will enable Texas McCombs to reduce bias in the admissions process by providing all applicants with a structured and consistent assessment experience. All applicants will be required to complete the Video Assessment shortly after submitting their application and paying the fee. Applicants have 7 days to complete the assessment upon receiving access to the video submission platform. There will be 4 question prompts and applicants will have 90 seconds to answer each prompt.

I was told during my peer interview today that it’s "not really evaluative"

They say that, but I have a feeling, they are looking at it as a way for the candidates to make an impression (which can be positive or negative). I don't think they'll be evaluating in the sense whether a candidate should be admitted or not, however, they would be expected to convey their impressions to the admissions committee.

IMO, directly or indirectly, there is going to be an evaluation

Does UT has any formal interview as well? I was told during my optional peer interview that it’s not really evaluative.

I guess not. I searched clear admit and found no result post before the deadline of last year R1, though it may not be always the case

Hi All, While we all wait for R1 results, I just had one doubt regarding placements post MBA. I just read somewhere that CPG firms don’t hire international students much- Is this true?
