There are many benefits to timing your practice, including:
Texas is very interested in hearing about your specific plan when you're in business school because they don't really have a huge Core Curriculum and there's not a lot in place to make sure you maximize your time there... so you need to have a clear intention. If you don't have that I would recommend that you submit an update letter clarifying your intentions and your vision and also to make it a little bit more substitutive maybe do MBA math or something that's going to look like a obvious reason for an update letter. If you have something like a promotion, a job title change ( sometimes easy to negotiate) some type of upgrade in a community position you have these are all good candidates.

Does anyone know when do schools review their waitlists? I know it says on the FAQ that they would review waitlist on a rolling basis but it seems like most people who got accepted from waitlist in May or June. It surely looks like they review the waitlist after all rounds to fill vacant seats.
one, yes, after all rounds are complete and all the people who were given admits have declared intent not to occupy seats, so they have a sense of yield etc.
that's common outside top 10, maybe 15
within top 10, it happens after each round decision date... that is, those WL in R1 can receive a decision along with R2 results.. so on

How many R1 people here are holding out for the UT waitlist? I contacted the student I interviewed with and he said not to lose hope as many fellow classmates were admitted off the waitlist, although likely won't hear back until summertime.

Hey all - I’m a R2 waitlister here. Has anyone received any communication updates from the adcom yet and do we expect the first wave of waitlist admits will hit in late April after the R2 deposit deadline?

So even with Tepper in your basket, you are waiting for McCombs? I have both the admits and still contemplating which one to go to.
What are the positives and negatives of each school, in your opinion? I am not asking for career perspective or location or fit thing. I am asking what you think makes a school better than the other or worse?

You didn't really answer my question. This is a waitlist thread so I was hoping to spark some waitlist insights.
McCombs is my dream school for a number of reasons (which I could get into if you want to PM me) but mainly it is because of my fit with the program. I agree that both Tepper and McCombs are closely related and either is a great option in my books.

I received an email today saying that Round 3 deposit deadline is 5/15 and we may hear from the committee at any time. Decision can be released as long as mid to late June and into summer months.

I applied R1 and have been on WL since December. Correspondence has been minimal although but you are free to e-mail ADCOM at your judgment and send in updates as you see fit. I did actually just receive the below e-mail from McCombs:
Thank you for your continued interest in the Texas MBA Program. We appreciate your patience throughout the waitlist process.
This has been quite an admissions season for those interested in the Texas MBA program. While we are still working on building our Class of 2020, we thought we would share an update on where we are in the process. We are currently in Round Three, for which the deposit deadline is May 17th. It is possible for you to hear from the Admissions Committee at any time. Waitlist decisions can be released as late as mid-to-late June and into the summer months. Due to the uncertain nature of the waitlist, your continued patience in the coming weeks and months is greatly appreciated.

I didn't intend to make you feel that I didn't answer your question. But I have no answer for that I haven't applied there. But I guess it will be pretty soon. For internationals, it gets a bit dicey. But if you are in the US - citizen or permanent resident, it may take some time - if the school chooses to.

So I am ready to attempt the GMAT again. I know I know but with empowerGMAT and GMATClub I am sure I will get my target score. https://empowergmat.com/...
You’re excited to move back to your home country, after living abroad for ten years. Not every decision or act is intended to be an act of rebellion. But...
In general, I suggest submitting the application online because rumor has it that paper-based takes much longer time since the officer-in-charge will have to encode your application manually. ...
