Track Application Status

All applications to the Texas MBA program undergo a two-part process. The Graduate and International Admissions Center (GIAC) handles the initial processing, and the Texas MBA Admissions Committee conducts the application review and administers a decision.

GIAC:

GIAC is the main admissions office for graduate studies for UT-Austin. They primarily ensure that each application is complete and meets our graduate eligibility requirements. GIAC does not make admission decisions for the MBA program.

Important Information:

• It can take 2 weeks for an application to go through the initial process at GIAC.
  Please allow ample time for documents to be registered on status check, especially during high volume times.
• To ensure accurate application material matching, components received on a deadline may not register immediately but will be counted as received by that deadline.

• Please do not e-mail us about any items missing - marked as “needed” - until two weeks has passed from your date of submission.  Additional time may be required around deadlines.

“Application Forwarded to Graduate Dept.”: This message indicates that your application has been forwarded to the Texas MBA Admission Committee for review.

Admissions Committee:

The Admission Committee will typically begin their review in early November and will begin to make decisions toward the beginning of December. Decisions are usually made within 4 - 6 weeks after the application has been forwarded from GIAC, and the status check site will indicate when a decision has been made.
