smoclassof2013 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 He only applied at LBJ. Not sure what the Plan B is.
nclex Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 still nothing! why is this taking so long...i keep checking my status page every 5 minutes but nothing has changed.
lmvg123 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 You might be on the waitlist.....all i know is that all decisions are supposed to be entered today.
nclex Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Wouldn't they have listed me as "waitlisted" on the same site? So frustrating all this waiting! You might be on the waitlist.....all i know is that all decisions are supposed to be entered today.
lmvg123 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I dont think so...if you look at the email, John Yeary said he would be contacting waitlisted people individually.
lmvg123 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 but it seems like they have been putting in acceptances towards the very end of the business day.
nclex Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I got in!!!!!!! Finally broke down and emailed John Yeary, apparently because I'm a dual applicant (MBA/MPAff) my status doesnt change until the business school puts in there decision, which isn't until next week. But, he confirmed that I had been recommended for LBJ!!!! So so excited! but it seems like they have been putting in acceptances towards the very end of the business day.
lmvg123 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Hey! thats great news...im happy for you!! i guess there really was no rhyme or reason for the admissions notifications
osmo Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Wait listed. Does anyone have any insight as to what my odds are at this point?
nogone Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 I think the waitlisting is a newer thing within the last few years, so finding any information might be difficult. Did they give you any information as to how many people are waitlisted with you? If not, I'd ask.
nclex Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Anyone heard anything about an admitted students day or other similar event?? with the quick turnaround time to make a decision on schools, i would imagine it would need to be pretty soon.
okawesome Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Anyone heard anything about an admitted students day or other similar event?? with the quick turnaround time to make a decision on schools, i would imagine it would need to be pretty soon. I emailed Mr. Yeary who said info regarding admitted student days would be in the documents we'll be receiving this week. I'm assuming he was referring to the official letter from the LBJ school? I tried to find out when the visitation days took place last year, but with no luck...anyone have an idea? I'd love to get the ball rolling with travel plans so I hope they do let us know soon
lmvg123 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Spoke to Mr. Yeary on the phone this afternoon and he said information about fellowships and stuff would be sent out over the next few days. I live about 20 minutes from LBJ, so I'm like can't I just pick it up!!! But hopefully they get it in the mail soon so everyone can make travel plans, etc.

I emailed him last week and that's what he said so maybe their plans changed?
nclex Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 has anyone gotten their official letter yet? since the mba notices don't go out until friday, my status online still hasn't updated, so I figured I would see if anyone had a date for the accepted students day yet. thanks!
CC139 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 has anyone gotten their official letter yet? since the mba notices don't go out until friday, my status online still hasn't updated, so I figured I would see if anyone had a date for the accepted students day yet. thanks! I received the official letter from the graduate school via email last Friday, but I have not yet received an official notification from LBJ.
Nimesis Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I just wanted to let those of you who are interested know that I just received my official letter from LBJ from John Yeary via email. It included funding information so check your emails... Although I doubt I have to tell people on these boards to do that...
nclex Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I received mine earlier today as well. Has anyone located a list of recent LBJ grad employers? I found the graphs that divide careers up based on public/nonprofit/private and location but not the names of actual companies, organizations or government agencies.
CC139 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Soooo, any good funding guys? I am still waiting to receive my LBJ letter!
nclex Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 no funding for me Soooo, any good funding guys? I am still waiting to receive my LBJ letter!
RicolaAnyone Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Funding/official admission letters are out! I just got mine via email. I received $10k/year and a waiver for the nonresident portion of my tuition. Does anyone know how much in-state tuition at LBJ costs? Time to go a'googling... Good luck everyone!!

Its $19,828 per year or $4,957 per semester. Edited March 16, 2011 by Nimesis
CC139 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Congratulations. Its $19,828 per year or $4,957 per semester. Just received mine. I received some funding. I am really happy!|
legs Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Congratulations. Its $19,828 per year or $4,957 per semester. Do you mean $20k for the full 2 year program? Only 2 semesters a year, right? I was under the impression that LBJ was one of the stingier schools with funds, which made sense being a state school. So I was just shocked to get my letter today with $15k a year plus in-state tuition. It makes UT unbelievably cheap... wow, I need to go visit, but I've got some serious thinking to do. ...And for that kind of money, Texas just made the Final Four in my bracket.

This completely covers tuition for both years which is amazing news. I'm really looking forward to visiting campus and hopefully this will help me make a decision!
