Hi,
I plan to apply to the Texas A&M...have; not done much research on the college though..
Do u have any idea about the average GMAT Score and the profile they look for.
Also, do they give decent scholarships?
My profile is:
GMAT: 690
Work-Ex: 3.5 years in IT.
Extra C's: not much..just about decent.
I've been trying to get in touch with someone from Texas A&M; MBA alumni or current students...but haven't been successful till now...I could only get to MIS students...I guess they have a lot of MIS students there..
anyways...we'll need to wait for a few more ppl to join in this post..till then we'll keep the research going..

Hi varun_b,
After your interview did thy tell you by when the decision would be out?
Coz in my case, i had my interview on the 8th of jan, and at the end the interview she said she was taking my file along for the Adcom meeting to be followed after my interview.So she said admits would be out within a week.
My interview too had a same general questions mentioned by you.However, initially tere was a confusion as she had mixed my skype id with some one elses..and i kept waiting for long to connect with her..and then finally she send a mail ..to ask for my skype id..as she had the wrong one..sme mismatch while passing on the details to the interviewer..
