LIMIT: 500 words Essay 2 (Video) Texas McCombs has always been at the forefront of innovation and continuous improvement, consistently seeking new ways to enhance the application process for prospective MBA candidates. 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 thought McCombs wants 4-year UG only. Has this changed?

where have they specified such a requirement?

This is the message received by one of my candidates who has a 3Y UG from Delhi Univ: Dear XXX, Your message regarding graduate eligibility has been referred to me. Please be advised the Graduate and International Admissions Center requires for graduate consideration a first degree from overseas comparable to the US four year bachelor’s degree. This office does not consider the three year bachelor’s degrees from India (or Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Pakistan, etc.) to be fully comparable to the US bachelor’s degrees. This has been our policy for the last 45 years and we have compiled a list of comparable degrees which we put on our website some five years ago: Is a link off of our Eligibility for Admission Consideration on the Graduate School page: https://gradschool.utexas.edu/admission ... sideration When the link is followed the chart appears: https://utexas.app.box.com/s/x8w7gs3xac ... dyv8jv9a41 In addition to the two circumstances listed there we also would accept a BEd, LLB, or PG Diploma from an AICTE or UGC recognized institution on top of a three year degree. We of course are not able to speak to policies at other institutions but our policy is similar to that found at many other universities. Sincerely, Robert Watkins Special Assistant to the Director Graduate and International Admissions Center

https://www.linkedin.com/in/devangjoshi ... education/ This individuals seems to have a bachelor’s degree, 3 year from University of Mumbai. But again, he is a CA so, can’t comment. https://www.linkedin.com/in/rathidiksha ... education/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/shruti-shet ... education/ Again, it’s important to note that these are CAs. Rest of the people from India, non CA - either have a 4 years in engineering or have done their Masters

Hey, how influential is the video interview for getting an interview call. I think i was a bit overwhelmed during the interview and was messed up my timing a bit.

As per my understanding, there’s no interview invite. The only other remaining touchpoint is the optional peer interview now - after which everyone needs to wait till the decision date.
