Texas A&M (Mays) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

I believe for Mays Business School, round 3 should be good chance. As there are four rounds in Mays unlike most other schools, I think Round 3 in Mays will not be as competitive as Round 3 in other schools where it is the final round for international applicants.

Live Essay Writing Workshop, presented by Admissionado

Sigh. The MBA Application essays. Who thought it was a good idea to ask people to write 2000 words before they even get INTO school? Turns out, it doesn’t matter, because someone did… and now you have to come up with the most compelling and memorable essays about leadership that you can. And then do it again for every school you apply to.

It’s not easy, but this upcoming event should help. Submit your MBA Application essay to have an opportunity to have it reviewed for free by the team at Admissionado. Three essays will be selected, and if you are one of the lucky ones, you will have the opportunity to go through your essay with Phillip Herring (admissions expert and CBS MBA) in a live session. You will need to be OK with sharing your essay with attendees (don’t worry – we’ll keep your name/private info out of it), and available and online at the time of the event to chat it up with Phillip. Even if you aren’t selected, listen in, because there will still be plenty of essay advice to go around.

Submit your essay to lauren@admissionado.com by Monday, December 3. You will find out if you are selected by Wednesday, December 5. Then join the live event on Thursday, December 6 at 6pm PST. Register Now [FREE!]

Did anyone from Mays give y'all a call after the admission email? I think its kind of weird they accepted me and haven't heard anything from them since.

Anyone who applied to round 3 hear back yet?

I have not heard anything yet. Even their response for any general query takes a month.

Too slow.

Anyone applying with less than 2 years WE?

I am not sure buddy...less than 2 yr is a tough shot if you do not have a thrilling application..!! A frnd of mine with 3 years of exp and 760 in GMAT got dinged..!!

Hi,

Seems that you have a very good profile

Did you receive any interview invite from Mays? I did not hear anything from them, when is their decision mailing date?

Not sure about the status of my app yet...kind of tensed

Thanks,
Suresh

I have not received any interview invite as of now. Mays is always very selective of sending invites. Most probably we will get to know by 1st of March.

Gyan:)

It is over 50 days after submitting my application and have not heard anything.

Hi,
I applied in round 3 (Jan round)
Did anybody receive interview invite?

Thanks,
Namrta

McCombs is a great college. Congrats.
Why are you worrying about Mays then? Anyhow I do not think they have sent an invite to an Indian applicant yet..!!

Hi Guys,

Any Round 3 interview invites for Indian Applicants. Have submitted my application on 15th jan and no communication from Mays yet.

When is the Round 3 decision deadline. Getting really tensed with all the waiting..

Round 4 deadline was 1st March!

I sent a mail to them asking about the delay in decisions. This is what they replied

"Please note that you may check the status of your application at any time during the admissions process via the online application system that you submitted your application on. The system is also set up to automatically generate an email to your specified address anytime there is a change in your application's status. This is the busiest time of year for our office, and we are trying our best to process all applications in a timely manner.
Should you have any further questions, please contact us at ftmba@tamu.edu."

I was not sure what to say, most probably they will evaluate us together with the round 4 applicants. No other explanations

If y'all are awaiting your decision in a hurry because of another admit you can ask them to expedite it, they did it for me. I was an early round tho, so it might be different now. Good luck guys!

P.S. This thread is very quiet this year compared to last years.

Well, just received the decision. Denied without Interview..

Very disappointed. Mays was my first choice..

Hi fv113, I am in same boat as u were. When u asked for an expedited decision, did u mention the name of other school as well
