This might be slightly outdated, but the current questions are probably similar.

McCombs is well known for its ties to the oil industry as well as the technology industry. Besides that, it does well in entrepreneurship and marketing.

Thanks for the reply mreevit. By the way are you aware of any credible resources where I can find similar details for other B-schools? I think I'll be better able to decide/shortlist colleges..

Thanks once again man.

Does anyone have the CORRECT list of recommendation questions for the McCombs 2012 application?

I'm unable to find this anywhere on their site, unlike for other schools.

I was hoping if someone can help me a little with the essays here. I never had McCombs on my list because of a weak GMAT and now I have a strong enough score to apply and Im sort of getting down to the wire and pushing for Round2 deadlines. Can I connect with someone on personal message? Alumni????
