Seems troll..

Does McCombs have the tradition of calling admit students a day ahead of decision day like other schools do?

i got my call the day of. so do not expect a call beforehand. good luck!

We are just 3 days away from the decision date. Can we expect any calls today/tomorrow?

All the decisions will be declared on the final day...
as per my experience, people in US will get a call and international students will get a mail around 4pm CST.
If you are too lucky, you will get call from DHL for KYC documents

Best of Luck!!!

Great Thanks! Good luck to everyone for the final day then.

See live decision updates on decision tracker.. https://gmatclub.com/forum/mccombs-203/app-tracker.html

My apologies if the answer is obvious, but please define "too lucky".

There have been instances in the past in which few of McComb's admits came to know about their results when courier company that was carrying their admission packages intimated them, even before official call/email from school.

Best of luck to everyone tomorrow.

Any idea on what time the status portal will get updated tomorrow?

My friend who applied R1 says it starts at 8am and finishes by close of business tomorrow. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

Calls started coming in the morning and then the portal was updated at 3:20 pm PST. Hope that helps!

Do they call international candidates too? Just curious...

Does McCombs call only those who are admitted or do they call those that are WL and dinged as well?

Either way, I'll be glad this wait is over. Good luck everyone.

Hi guys! R1 admit here...best of luck for all the R2 folks!

From previous experience:

Not everyone will receive a call - whether you're admitted or not. If you're offered a scholarship, you will most likely get a call. Some people will find out via portal and not over the phone so don't fret if you don't get a call.

They make all their calls throughout the day and then release all decisions on the portal at the end of the day. If you're dinged or waitlisted you won't find out until then (generally after 3:30 or 4pm CST).

International students generally will not receive a phone call due to time difference.

Everyone who is admitted gets a letter with details and an admit gift in the mail shortly after (international students may get an email notification that a package is coming).

Try not to obsess throughout the day - distract yourself. I know it's easier said than done. The GMATclub live chat is a nice way to interact, make jokes, and help the day go by faster.

Can't wait to meet all my fellow classmates in July!
