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.

Hi

Had a question. I had applied for a test waiver for R2. Received a rejection mail today because my transcript was not in the WES Transcript format.

Can someone explain how to get this done?

Yes, you need your transcript/degree to be evaluated by a third party institution (WES Org). Their website is pretty straight forward although they do take a few days to fully evaluate your degree and transcript and they charge you a fee for the service.

Hope this helps!

Do we need to do this before we get an admit or after?

Do you mean the invite to the waitlist webinar on 5th Jan? Because that appeared to be a common email to all waitlisted candidates. Aside from that, I haven’t received any emails about the waitlist as such. When did you receive this email? And had you done the optional peer interview earlier?
