McCombs (UT Austin) Class of 2016 Calling all applicants!

I have that same notification in my UTdirect but I have yet to be notified whether I have been invited to interview, so who knows.....

any international applicants who haven't heard anything yet?
I'm r2 applicant and haven't got any news yet... not even interview invitation or denial..
I'm getting nervous day by day Is there anyone like me?

Same as me..(R2 applicant and international) I didn't get any news from McCombs..

One of my friends got invitation 3 weeks ago. (We applied same day.. )

Now, I'm thinking.. ding.. I checked on-line status, it is still "in review"

So basically we are not mccombs' first choice applicant per se...
maybe i should start preparing for other schools..

Don't lose hope guys. My friend had applied in R1 and he received the interview call just 3 weeks before decision deadline, and he got admitted as well.
Long story short, AdComs go through all the apps and R2 had more than 1000 people applying; I think the AdComs will be very busy right till April 9th.

My TOEFL waiver request has been approved, finally! For information sake, my file went under review about 4 days back!

Hi guys,

Sorry, just wanted to check anyone from India who got calls from Texas or already done with their interview?

Regards,
AM

I think one or two people from this forum got the invites. Others have their fingers crossed

Thanks,

Hi guys,
I’am an international applicant, applied for R2, got my invite two weeks ago, and went to campus for my interview one week ago.
My interview was pretty laid out, a second year student; we talked for about an hour, awesome guy, wanted to know about me, future plans and why the Texas MBA program.
It helped me a lot that I had already visited campus, met with staff, attended some classes, most of all because I knew many of the reasons why I want to attend McCombs, first hand, and not trough their web page or informative sessions.
For what I have read in previous threads, R1 applicants who where interview in early November got their acceptance call/mail by the second or third week of December.
Good luck everyone!
I hope that I get to meet some future peers through this forum.
Best,
Rod

Looking forward for interview invite

Cheers

FROM Mccombs(Texas Austin) Admissions Blog: Creating Entrepreneurs One Pitch at a Time

Texas Venture Labs Scholarship competition alongside the Texas MBA program. The goal of our scholarship program is to help inspire and create MBA students who have a passion for pursuing entrepreneurship throughout their two years at McCombs. This year we were lucky enough to have 16 semi-finalists join us from not only all over the country (Portland, New York, Austin, Newport Beach, Chicago, and more) but also from across the globe (India, Turkey, Switzerland, and Kuwait)! Alongside my Texas Venture Labs colleagues, current students, recent alumni, and Texas MBA staff members I watched as these 16 individuals competed for six spots in the finals. While I only saw a few of the pitches live, I was fortunate enough to hold four hours of office hours on Friday to make sure they were set and ready to go. Deliberations were tough and each set of judges was pulling for their room presenters…but ultimately it had to be narrowed down. In front of a room full of people, our six finalists shared with us their passion, dedication and drive to continue learning (watch TVL Scholarship finalists pitch their startups). They came as scholarship applicants and left as entrepreneurs! I look forward to bringing them into our community and helping them grow as both business students and business owners.

Can someone tell me the email id through which I can contact admissions committee to clarify on TOEFL waiver? It's been more than a month and my application still says incomplete.

Thanks so much!

Hi! Yeah, I gave my interview on the 17th (Skype with 2nd year student)

Just to clarify a point - I doubt they have a pattern in which they respond to applicants. I'm a Round 1 admit and I got my email at 4:56 pm on the deadline date, while admitted students had been posting from a week earlier about getting calls etc. on this forum, followed by dinged and waitlisted, and then again admitted, dinged waitlisted (.... there was no real order). That being said, there's hope to students who haven't heard till the last moment...

Hey folks, someone told me that his friend interviewed with an alum and then was cold up to Austin to interview with a member of the adcom. I interviewed with an alum yesterday, is it possible that I'll still have another interview? Thanks for the help.
