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.

Hmm I am not sure what all is generally asked or tested in the peer interview Like is it more on goals and background or behavioral based?

Ohh! And in case we submit our application on 9th October, then we will get 7 days from 9th October to submit the video assessment and take peer interview? And my application will only be considered for Round 1 or will it be shifted to Round 2 since I completed my video assessment & peer interview past the ROund 1 deadline?

Any one done with video assessment? Or any idea what kind of will be there in VA?

Whom should we address the cover letter to?

You don’t necessarily need to address it to anyone Source : a recorded webinar about Application overview which you can find on the McCombs website

Has anyone else not submitted the application fee for McCombs but the application status shows ’received’? I did not have any app fee waiver and yet after submitting the application I am not being re-directed to payment page. I have checked multiple times and there’s no option to pay the fee.

Within 2-3 days of submitting your application, you will receive an email prompting you to log in to mystatus and proceed with the application fee payment.
