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.

Hello McCombs community,
I have my peer interview on Wednesday. Can someone please share the list of questions that I can expect?
Also, will it be formal or casual conversation. How should my demeanour be? Any suggestions?

jpr2

hey guys had a question regarding official transcripts. is it just the scan of official consolidated marksheet or do i attach my original degree scan too?

Hello jpr2,

The degree is, generally, not needed. Just the transcript with all your scores consolidated would be good enough.

Thanks.
