Can y'all requite united states a basic overview of the full-time MBA program at UT, focusing on its more distinctive elements? [2:29]

Thank you lot, Linda, for giving me the opportunity to share a little bit well-nigh Texas McCombs. I'g going to speak and share information primarily nigh our two-twelvemonth MBA plan at our Austin, Texas, campus.

For the full-time MBA program in particular, I retrieve in that location are iii distinctive elements that I would like the listeners to know nearly as they're considering dissimilar business schools to pursue their studies.

First, information technology'south a highly flexible and deep curriculum that nosotros take for our full-time MBA students. So coming in, we bring in a class of about 260 students from a variety of walks of life and educational and professional person backgrounds. It is really important for us to ensure they have kind of that core business foundation, the core classes. You do all your core classes, the majority of that first semester, together in cohorts. We split those 260 students into four cohorts, and everybody gets that solid bookish business foundation to then explore 100+ electives that we take across 20 concentrations in classes that you can take at the business school and outside the concern schoolhouse. This highly flexible and deep curriculum where over seventy% of the programme itself is self-selected coursework is one of the highlights of our program.

The second highlight that I want to share with the listeners are the people. We have amazing individuals pursuing their dreams here at Texas McCombs and astonishing kinesthesia members that are going to be supporting y'all along the way. The combination of the amazing inquiry kinesthesia that is not only creating noesis, but disseminating it in a really great way in the classroom with students that are thirsty to know more, to make an impact, and the staff that's going to be there to really advise you and help you navigate all the opportunities of Texas McCombs is really important. So the people are number two.

And the last aspect is place. Nosotros are actually fortunate to be function of one of the primary inquiry institutions in the US at the University of Texas at Austin. Information technology is even luckier that we are in the amazing city of Austin which provides our students with the vibrant business community to put to practice what they're learning in the classroom, but information technology's as well an amazing place to alive. It is a great identify where young people are flocking to, and it's something that really provides a unique combination of report and fun for our students.

So that flexible, deep curriculum, people, and identify, are what really makes the Texas McCombs full-time MBA plan unique.

Of grade UT, along with the rest of the entire world, has been affected past COVID. What changes do yous see lasting going forward? [5:50]

That'south a great question. I volition kickoff that with everything that we do at UT Austin, the health and safe of our students, faculty, staff members are height of mind. And with that as a lens and a goal, nosotros are really happy that nosotros were able to exercise in-person delivery of all of our programs for the fall. We non only delivered classes in person, our pupil organizations were able to meet in person, and we even had some admission events on campus during late November.

It was great to come across prospective students coming into our new building and really experiencing the program firsthand. I'one thousand actually proud of how our students came together with our faculty and staff to make that possible. For those experiences to exist delivered in a safe manner where everybody felt really comfy and they were able to be delivered successfully.

I call back a couple things that will continue to be aspects of the COVID experience that we'll take on every bit, hopefully, COVID winds down a little will include virtual advising appointments. These were really a big hit with staff and students akin, and merely more often than not the ability of our students to virtually connect with our staff and faculty via Microsoft Teams. I think other schools might use Slack, but it'south really a manner for folks to experience engaged in a part of a community, fifty-fifty kind of in a virtual world. From an admissions perspective, nosotros were able to come in and deliver a really solid incoming form with only virtual events, so the class that came in fall of 2021, they didn't accept the opportunity to come up for in-person events. Nosotros were able, though, to tell them McComb'south story and engage with prospective students in a successful manner well-nigh, and so we'll run into a lot of those engagement opportunities lasting even beyond when we are dorsum to, hopefully, a more normal experience.

Information technology is a situation that is ever changing, ever evolving. We understand that the situation that might be happening in Austin may be very different from what's happening in New York or New Delhi or Sao Paulo, so we completely understand that applicants and prospective students are coming in with dissimilar mindsets and different situations.

What I urge all your listeners to exercise is to reach out to us. We're incredibly accessible via email, via LinkedIn, via a telephone call. We are here to aid y'all and engage with yous and make sure that you can submit that successful application, and so engage with the states. We know that COVID is not going to exist resolved in ane fell swoop, simply I am hopeful that we're able to take some of the learnings in the past twelvemonth-and-a-half, and peculiarly what happens this fall and take that momentum on for the spring.

When nosotros make it at a point in time where COVID is considered manageable, do you lot anticipate a combination of virtual and in-person recruiting events? [9:54]

For sure. I think as we come back to in-person events, we desire to go along the successful virtual opportunities that were available and well received by prospective students and really call up virtually where the value-add is of that in person impact betoken. Before we used to go along the road quite often, all over the world, early on in the admission season, and then to interview candidates so to do admitted student events. Now what we're thinking virtually on summit of the funnel when we're sharing general admissions information, we can accomplish a lot more people past hosting a virtual coffee chat. I accept a standing coffee chat every week that I accept 60 people bring together at a time and we have corking conversations, so I'g reaching a lot of more folks this mode, simply there's also very ofttimes coming to experience the on-campus, what Texas has access to offer on campus.

Coming to our new building and figuring out what the culture is similar, and having that in-person experience is really important, and then permit'due south focus on those on-campus events, merely in the same token, nosotros're a global program, so nosotros need to connect with people internationally. So when is it the right fourth dimension to go to India or become to Europe or get to Africa and connect with those students? We're thinking near what that looks similar and I think, every bit we figure out what that may entail, nosotros volition for sure seek feedback from our prospective students and applicants to run across what'southward the best ratio of events.

I will say that our admissions teams accept been working then hard. We always want to exercise everything and we can't do everything, so it will be really hard figuring out what we don't practise any more.

UT has several dual degree programs, including an Asian Studies, Global Policy Studies, Latin American Studies, Middle Eastern Studies and Russian Eastern European and Eurasian Studies. I'one thousand guessing that travel was an important function of these dual caste programs. Is UT McCombs starting to travel again? [12:47]

I'll say that one thing that all those dual degree programs take in common is that I want to visit all of those places where the focused geographical areas for those studies are. Sign me up for every unmarried ane of those trips when we can travel again.

For our programs hither at UT, nosotros had a few students travel to national conferences like National Black MBA, for example, for Hispanic as well, the ones that were delivered in-person. We really had a few exchange students that were able to come to us, and generally from Europe in this fall too, so we're starting to pick up some of that travel. And almost recently, our role-fourth dimension MBA plan just last week went on their global trips.

There were vii trips and we took 150 students abroad, so those opportunities are starting to open upwards. I recollect the Texas McCombs MBA plan is the trailblazer within UT. We were the first ones to take students back abroad in that manner, and the current plans for our total-time MBA programme in particular is to deliver v global report tours over spring break, which is what we normally do and reignite the commutation programs in the other fashion around, so non merely welcome our exchange students from partner universities, but right now the plan is to transport close to 25 students abroad for the bound.

Again, with the COVID situation, everything is extremely fluid. Even though those part-time MBA global trips, we had to cancel one of the trips at the last minute. There were eight trips and we had to cancel i. Nosotros proceed a actually close eye on what the situation is similar, and we set students for all scenarios. But I hold with you, Linda, when you said, I wish and hope that COVID is eradicated, but I think in the about term it's something that we're going to accept to acquire to live with.

We want to deliver the best bookish feel to our students, and nosotros believe that global exposure is a central role of the MBA education, so we want to make our all-time try to deliver those experiences. On the access side of the business firm, we're beginning to travel domestically a little bit. We have a few administrative meet-ups for Round one that will happen in January in New York, San Francisco, Chicago and the main Texas cities. We await forward to starting to travel once again, maybe a little scrap more starting in the bound, as well.

Is at that place something that people don't know about McCombs that you'd really similar them to know, or maybe a common misconception you'd like to dispel? [17:55]

There are 2 that I often talk well-nigh considering I get questions about this all the time when I host a virtual chat, or if we're doing an info session. Oftentimes prospective students call back about McCombs beingness a very regional school, but we exercise have a global brand in Texas McCombs and the Texas Longhorns in Austin. We identify non just a lot of individuals in Texas as you lot'd expect, only outside of Texas every bit well. We actually place more students exterior of our home country than our comparable programs in New York and California.

We are actually lucky to exist in Austin, which is a place where people like to exist and likewise nosotros place a lot of students in Dallas and Houston. We do place a good corporeality of students outside of the state of Texas, then we dear our Texas residents that go to UT, but we welcome individuals from exterior of Texas and all over the world. You don't have to stay in Texas. Yous carry that brand with you, and you're going to be an honorary Austinite and Texan wherever y'all get after you graduate, but we exercise accept a lot of connections and opportunities for individuals to go beyond the state borders after graduation.

Outside of Texas, where are the main places that UT grads go? [nineteen:27]

We place quite a few folks in New York, primarily in the cyberbanking sector, some consulting. Nosotros also place pretty strongly in the Bay Surface area, primarily in the technology sector. Equally of late, nosotros take been placing a lot of folks in Seattle, Denver, and Chicago to a bottom extent, so a variety of unlike places. I think one of the things that has happened, though, in the by five years is that the number of our students that want to stay in Austin has increased dramatically. I call back Austin's been in the news for relocations of headquarters and opportunities and different industries, so we're happy to see Austin now has the infrastructure and opportunities to support the students who want to be here, but we go along to, of class, place students outside of the city of Austin.

The other misconception is also around career and placement, but information technology's more than specific to manufacture. Often people associate Texas with oil and gas, and I would say to your listeners that we are, if not the best, one of the best places in the state to pursue your studies in energy, but we become beyond the traditional oil and gas field. There's great balance betwixt traditional oil and gas communities that are available to our students, but nosotros see the growing field of make clean engineering be a really potent area of interest for individuals that are interested in energy that don't want to piece of work in oil and gas. Nosotros have a CleanTech concentration that mirrors our free energy, finance concentration that really focuses on solar and wind in that clean technology space is something that I would similar all your listeners to be aware of. Our biggest placement continues to exist tech, and then over xxx% of the class goes into tech, followed by consulting at xx%, and then energy is close to 10% of our placement, only it'due south more than only oil and gas.

I always remember of entrepreneurship in terms of UT. As a affair of fact, a couple of years ago, I interviewed a LBS grad who had done a semester at UT and admittedly loved information technology. You lot can find it at accepted.com/393. He just had a wonderful time and started his ain business. [22:01]

We take a lot of opportunities in the startup infinite. Entrepreneurship is an expanse where y'all can get a swell education and solid foundation because we accept amazing professors in the space where they are on the board of startup companies and have started their own businesses and then you know, practitioners equally well as researchers. You go that academic foundation, merely I think what makes us special is how accessible Austin is for people to put to practice their business ideas, exist information technology working on their own business ideas or pursuing an interest in this particular area and connecting that space and doing a micro-consulting project or doing an internship or, for those that are able to exercise it, kind of that entrepreneurial venture full fourth dimension afterward graduation. Austin is a corking place for that, too.

McCombs requires a GMAT or a GRE, but I empathize it will also accept the Executive Assessment. Do you have any plans to expand the number of tests that yous have or to exist more generous with test waivers? [23:39]

For sure. We continue to monitor the test optional developments in the graduate management education space pretty closely. We exercise non have any current plans to alter or add together to the types of tests we accept. We do accept the GMAT, GRE, and EA, and accept valid or expired scores for all of those 3 examination categories. Equally you mentioned, we exercise have a COVID test waiver in place. We are working really closely with the Academy of Texas at Austin graduate schoolhouse admissions to make sure we align with their testing policies, and I don't run into united states of america irresolute that for the next admission wheel. But once more, I feel similar everything needs to exist taken with a grain of salt given the COVID situation, but the current program is to go on with what we have in place.

UT's class profile for the class of 2023 has some pretty impressive stats: 704 average GMAT, 318 average GRE full, 3.44 average GPA. What practice you await for besides stats? [25:08]

We take our holistic review of an awarding really seriously, so all of the application components that applicants submit are taken under consideration. You are more than your GMAT or GRE or GPA. For u.s.a., it'due south actually important to dive into an applicant's work experience, and past work experience, we don't mean the quantity of years or months of experience somebody has, but actually the touch on and trajectory that someone has had in the workplace.

From a civilization perspective, we have an incredibly entrepreneurial and collaborative environment here at Texas McCombs, then we're going to exist reviewing letters of recommendation, resumes, essays, and interviews and keeping an eye and ear out for evidence of your collaboration in the workplaces where you've been. What's your entrepreneurial spirit like? Something that we value here at Texas McCombs, and I call back it'southward part of that Texas spirit is dust, your ability to practice the hard work. You gyre up your sleeves and get things washed. Those are some of the things that we look for in the application itself.

I experience similar sometimes, a high average GMAT or high average GRE, or a really high GPA may plow some individuals off from because McCombs or submitting an application, and for those of your listeners that are on the contend mayhap proverb, "I don't know. My GMAT is beneath the average. I'm not going to become in," talk to the states! Nosotros are here to back up you and assist you put your best foot forrad. You are more than that number, and we want to hear your story. Nosotros beloved, love, beloved to hear your story, to hear where yous're coming from, and it's really a privilege to be in the receiving end of such astonishing applications, so work with u.s.a., and I think that you'll be surprised that you can put together a really potent application even if you have below average GMAT or below average GRE.

What happens to an application after the applicant hits submit? [28:04]

That's when the hard work for united states of america really begins. I always equate hit the submit button with the deadline day. For the full time MBA programme, we don't start reviewing your application for the circular until the 24-hour interval later the borderline, and so if you lot happen to striking that submit button ii weeks before the deadline, yous'll go a couple of automated messages from u.s.. You lot'll be invited to engage with u.s. in different types of events, but nosotros don't really start that application review until the solar day after the deadline. And what happens the twenty-four hour period afterwards the deadline is we start to review the applications at a loftier level to determine the individuals that nosotros're going to be inviting to each review. Our goal is e'er to have 80 to 90% of the interview invitations out for a particular circular within three weeks of that borderline date.

We are all hands on deck doing that high level review of the applications to get as many of those interview invitations out equally possible to give our applicants enough fourth dimension to prepare for the interview, to schedule the interview, and go through the process. At the same time that interview invitations are going out and we're starting to interview candidates, the application gets assigned one or two readers, so the reading process is happening at the same time equally the interviews are taking identify. We usually requite an interview deadline day inside a detail round so applicants know when they need to schedule that interview by, and then after that appointment, we start to run into as an admissions commission. The admissions commission is a lot of fun.

This fall, for Round 1, we were able to come up back to campus and sit down in the same room, which was awesome. We've been conducting a virtual admissions committee for the past couple Rounds, and then it'south a lot of fun to exist dorsum with the team in one room. The person that reads your application, your primary reader is kind of your speaker for that detail candidate. And and then we discuss all the candidates in committee and decide on the admissions decision and scholarship awards leading up to the decision borderline appointment, which just so happens that our full-fourth dimension round one conclusion deadline notification date is today.

You're looking at everything: the recommendations, the resume, the essay questions. Could you give u.s.a. a brief overview of how those things fit together? [31:07]

Generally speaking, we're looking at your academic bent through the undergraduate and graduate transcripts and whatever exam scores that y'all're able to submit as far as the application. That academic aptitude is really important because information technology is an academically rigorous programme. That first semester is incredibly tough with a lot of quantitative heavy classes, so we desire to brand sure that students are set up for success. When assessing academic aptitude, we're looking both at those undergraduate graduate transcripts, which for most people are in the past. The test options and the test score help u.s. complement the history that you accept with something that might exist more up to date. That'southward the academic review of the application.

We too are interested in your professional person trajectory. The average years of work feel for our total-time MBA is five.5 years and then nosotros're looking for individuals that have had an impact in the industries that they've been a role of. We look at your resume, we expect at your alphabetic character of recommendation equally role of the evaluation of your professional trajectory. And for the states, again, bear upon is paramount. Trajectory onward and upward. You don't accept to have the perfect resume. Y'all may have some gaps, peculiarly in a earth that has been turned upside down with COVID. That'south perfectly okay. What'southward important to do is to help the admissions committee empathize what that trajectory was, and if at that place are any gaps, allow the states know what happened. So that professional trajectory piece is the second slice of the tripod.

So, the last piece is all almost the applicant in Texas McCombs. Why do you want to pursue an MBA? Why Texas McCombs specifically? What are your dreams and your passions, and why practise you want to be a role of our customs? We appraise that piece via the essays and via the interview as well. I think that'south similar the admissions tripod and how the dissimilar components really interact with each other.

How do letters of recommendations fit in? [34:04]

The recommendations are more effectually that professional trajectory. They let u.s.a. know your impact in the workplace, but we also take some questions around teamwork and collaboration that help the states assess the fit with the culture within that letter of recommendation equally well.

You accept two required essays and an optional essay. For essay one, you requite the option of a 250 word essay or a one minute video. Practise yous accept any preference? [34:26]

We don't accept a preference, then we requite you the option. We like prospective student applicants to really choice the communication medium where they're going to be able to put their best foot frontward. I will say that between 20% to 30% of the applicant pool really do the video, so it might not be as high as some of the applicants may await. The goal of that starting time essay is, really, an informal essay for us to get to know yous a fiddling bit amend. I often encourage applicants to highlight aspects of their candidacy that we may not know from the resume or from the letter of recommendations. Sharing with us information about their passions or the why backside the decisions that they made academically and professionally, are really groovy ways to use that essay number one.

What can applicants expect if they're lucky enough to be invited to interview? [35:46]

I dearest interviewing candidates when I can. Here at Texas McCombs, the interviews are conducted by admissions officers, current students and alumni. For all the Rounds since COVID, all of our interviews have been conducted near. We are hoping that in Circular 2 we'll exist able to practice the interviews virtually and possibly produce a couple in-person options on campus if the COVID state of affairs allows. The interview is by invitation only. They are blind interviews, which means that the interviewer only has had access to your resume. Every bit we arroyo the interview, it normally starts with the applicant's elevator pitch on their groundwork. Normally we like that to exist three to v minutes max. And and then we dive into questions around why an MBA? Why at present? Why Texas McCombs? The interview itself lasts betwixt thirty to 45 minutes.

It is behavioral in nature, so lots of "tell me nearly a fourth dimension when" types of questions around leadership and collaboration and teamwork. We practise not take example interviews or group interviews. And at the end, I think information technology is always important, for your listeners and applicants in general, to have good questions to ask whoever the interviewer is and of import to really tailor the follow up questions that you have to who is interviewing yous. Accept a different set up of questions to ask if you're being interviewed by a student versus an admissions officer versus an alum.

Will y'all know ahead of time who's interviewing you? [37:45]

You'll know if they are a student, admissions officeholder, or alum. Y'all may non know their name until you start the interview.

You've been doing this for over x years. What'south the virtually mutual error you run across applicants brand? [38:00]

It happens every year no matter how much we communicate information technology, but I know that your listeners are crawly and they're not going to brand these mistakes considering they're listening to this podcast. So the offset one seems actually simple, but it'due south not answering the essay prompt. Every bit you lot build your application and you focus on those essays, it is actually important for you lot to engage with individuals within your customs. If you have an opportunity to work with an admissions consultant, that's awesome also, but always ask yourself and those that are reviewing your essay if you're appropriately answering the essay prompt. I know that applicants have a lot to share, and they want to share everything with us. Recollect that at that place are a lot of dissimilar application components and opportunities for you to share who you are. The essays are a great asset to your application, but it'south but going to exist one that y'all're going to be able to capitalize on if yous answer that essay prompt. So that's number i.

The 2d one is also around essays, and it seems really bones. I can come across some of your listeners may exist rolling their eyes whenever they listen to this, but mentioning the wrong schoolhouse name in the application is a big no-no. It happens more than often than you retrieve, so make certain to double, triple check the materials that y'all're submitting with your application, that you're listing out the right school proper noun.

The third one is a kind of a new nuance that nosotros've been seeing, I would say, every bit of the by iii to 5 years, which is discrepancies betwixt your resume that you submit with the application and any data that y'all take out on LinkedIn. As part of the application here at Texas McCombs, applicants can submit their LinkedIn if they have a LinkedIn profile. If y'all are going to submit your LinkedIn contour with your application, and that piece of it is optional the resume is not optional, brand certain that the LinkedIn contour matches the resume on the jobs that you've had, dates, etc. If there are discrepancies between both of them, y'all may raise questions from the admissions committee, and you don't want the admissions committee to take questions. You want to answer any questions that we have. Those discrepancies between resume and LinkedIn can be a little bit tricky onetime, so exist on the picket for that.

Some applicants take specific elements of their groundwork that give them grave concern. How exercise you view applicants who had a dip in grades or peradventure a menses of unemployment due to depression or emotional illness? How almost applicants who perhaps have an bookish infraction or a misdemeanor on their record? [41:41]

Slap-up question. To reply scenario number one, I'll permit applicants know that they can employ the optional essay to give us more than insight into that particular situation. It's perfectly okay if you had a period of unemployment at some point during your professional career up to this point, and it tin can be because of depression or emotional affliction or only a situation outside of those two factors. With COVID specifically, depending on the industry that yous've been in, yous may take been impacted more heavily, or mayhap your family state of affairs where you may have had to quit your job to have care of family members. It tin happen here in the US, but it happens, I think, even more ofttimes abroad in some of the countries where we have a lot of MBA applicants. So using that optional essay to really help us understand what it was is really cardinal.

For the second scenario effectually an academic infraction or misdemeanor on your record, we accept a specific question on the application itself where you tin can address these 2 items. There is a limit on the answer to that question. If yous experience like you didn't provide us all of the context effectually what happened there, you lot tin ever use the optional essay to add on some more kind of insight into those particular situations, too.

One thing that I volition say near academic infractions or misdemeanors, if it's a DUI, for example, it happens and it's usually in the past. For us, what we're looking for is for you to ain the situation and own what happened and share with us what you learned from that particular situation. Nosotros're not looking for excuses or pointing a finger maxim, "It wasn't my fault." Explain the situation for usa, own it, and then let us know what you learned from it. That's the message that I'll exit your listeners with.

Let's say a listener is thinking most applying for this cycle, they're looking at a "tardily" Round 3 application. What communication would you give for that person? Who do you think would exist improve off waiting until side by side year to apply? [44:31]

That is a great question. Nosotros have Circular iii for a reason. We take applications in Round 3. We admit students in Round iii. The one affair that I'll say with Circular 3, though, is applicants in that round need to be ready to go. We receive those applications. Nosotros turn the evaluation around really quickly, usually within a month, and so you lot get that admissions decision pretty quickly because y'all accept to be in Austin by early August starting the program.

There's very lilliputian runway for you to settle in and get ready. Yous should be set to get when yous submit that application. For listeners that are really gung ho into starting in autumn 2022 and feel set up to do so, I'll say apply for Circular iii. Y'all take that take chances so go for it but simply if you're set to get-go.

For those that are interested in starting in fall of 2023, that will be the next submission cycle, there's nonetheless quite a bit of time. Nosotros usually open the awarding one-time in tardily July, early August, for that next cycle. Nosotros tease a few announcements over the summertime, like our new essays and any new updates to the application components. But my advice for those applicants would exist to make a plan and requite enough time to explore different schools. If you are going to take the test, make fourth dimension to gear up for the exam. Whenever you're taking the GMAT, the GRE or the EA, preparation is key. Make a programme that is really encompassing and brand sure yous're giving yourself plenty time to study. Besides make some time to exercise some introspection exercises where you can effigy out what the right schools that you are going to exist applying to, and then work on those essays and submit the applications. Make a agenda plan if y'all are looking to employ for next fall.

We actually have an MBA application timeline that we've developed, and it talks about starting in January if you lot want to utilise in Round i of the next bicycle, because that gives y'all fourth dimension to clarify your goals, inquiry career opportunities, enquiry the schools. If that's something that you haven't been doing and you want to do. [47:34]

Is there anything else you would've liked me to ask you lot or y'all'd merely like to bring up at this point? [48:26]

Not to harp on a point that we've both already made, but an MBA is non an impulse buy. An MBA is a transformational journey, and in club for applicants to take full reward of what is offered, they need to accept the steps necessary to pause, call back nigh it, introspect, select the correct number of schools and come up prepared. Treat it equally more than than a durable good purchase. Information technology is not a tic-tac that yous buy at the corner grocery store, so take your time preparing for it and have a piffling fleck of fun besides. You're going to meet a lot of different people here, with a lot of different stories, and so take your time before you apply, really exploring and preparing. When you hit that submit button, it should be a moment of relief, but besides a moment of celebration that you lot're doing the right thing.

Where can listeners and potential applicants learn more than about UT Austin McCombs full-time MBA programme? [49:55]
