Yes, the interviews are blind. After I interviewed on campus, I asked my interviewer some questions about the admissions/interview process. He said that other than my resume, he had no other information about me prior to the interview. He said after the interview, there would be at least three other people who would review my total application package prior to making a decision.

Thanks! :) I submitted my application on 22 Nov. Waiting to hear from McCombs. How good is the conversion rate for candidates who interview at McCombs? Is it around 40-50%? (I think this is the case at Chicago GSB, which also has interviews by invitation only)

Does a candidate need to contact the interviewer to inquire about the exact venue of the interview? My friend has an interview scheduled on 27 dec at 10am. the city is given but the address where he needs to reach is not mentioned!

Yes. I interviewed with an alumni and we worked out a mutually agreeable place to meet (Starbucks). Neither of them will know where to meet up if they aren't proactive and set up a location.

in fact, in the case of alum interviews, you have to schedule them only after you've worked out a mutually agreeable date, time and location...

Updated the roll call to reflect the first batch of admits. Sounds like the calls stopped after Friday afternoon and the rest of us will have to wait until the first of the year for decisions.

I'm in for "Round 2." My essays are done, but I'm waiting for my second recommendation to be submitted before I submit my application.

Congrats to everyone who's been admitted! Austin is a wonderful place - you're going to love it :)

Just remember that UT is going to want official transcripts before they review your application. It took me by surprise.

Thanks for the reminder. Fortunately, I mailed those via UPS last week :)

What is wrong with this school's application processs !?!

I applied on the first round and have known nothing since... I'm assuming that I it is highly possible that I will be dinged and admission since I was not invited to interview but I mean they could just tell me...

Good thing I got accepted to another school.

We haven't heard of any waitlists or rejections yet at McCombs, I expect they'll start to go out after the holidays. It seems like a lot of people are in limbo still, but keep your head up.

I'm in the same boat...I've literally heard nothing from them...one way or the other....
