Hey all,

From the roll call page, it looks as though Texas interviews just about everyone - no?

Anyways, I haven't been invited to interview yet and I'm wondering if should just take it as a ding? I submitted my app and all my materials were received 12/17. I know the holiday break is in between those two dates, but shouldn't have I been invited to interview in that time?

I don't think McCombs interviews everyone, there are several active posters still in the unknown section after submitting their apps awhile ago. I wouldn't lose hope, 12/17 is less than 1 month ago. With 2 weeks of holidays and catch up work for McCombs, there's inevitably some delay.

Make a good case for why McCombs is the best school for you and that you're a good fit for the school. I'm sure you'll do fine though! McCombs interviews don't tend to be difficult.

Sorry man, waitlist limbo is no fun. I was on the waitlist here until august back in 08 before I decided to regroup and re-apply.

Good luck getting to the next stage!

Unbelieveable... Waitlisted. I can't believe that I waitlisted again at Texas.

That makes 3 waitlists for me this time around.

sorry to hear this.. if you are in located in austin, I would hound them... show up to events where you may already know all the information.. get in front of the admissions people and ask them insightful questions about the program, and work in your story about being on the waitlist

Pre777, Sorry to hear about the news. Any reasons why waitlisted? I just came across this article
https://www.ivyleagueadmission.com/waitbus.html

Though it says top 10 schools, I think its applicable to most B Schools.

Did you get waitlisted by all 3 schools after the interviews or beforehand?

After the interviews. I thought the interviews went well. Oh well, at least it's not a rejection.

Hey thanks for the article. Unfortunately no reason was given. Likely it was due to my low GPA. (3.0)

Hi everyone!

First congratulations to all of you have been admitted! I will be honest, I am extremely jealous.

I applied to McCombs on 12/18 and had a complete app on 12/21. I still have not heard anything back from admissions via either e-mail or online.

Has anyone who applied around my same submit date heard anything? I am still seeing the associate dean letter on the app status page.
