I want to know things like G.P.A,, or what things are important, and if you,or somebody you know got in can you tell me their stats.
This post is probably out of topic for WSO, but it is about business.
Thanks!

try to get as close as possible, and better, at the below.
Also you should probably get familiar to what makes UT MBA unique and see if those strengths fit you. A couple of the things that I can think off the top of my head are it is a target for the Energy industry and they do an exchange with a school in Brazil.

I believe he is referring to undergrad, correct?
And top 8% won't cut it for mccombs. It's top 7.5% for UT (liberal arts) and about top 1-2% for auto into mccombs. If you're top 3% you might still be safe but you won't be an auto admit.
I am talking of undergrad,

So those are my chances of getting in, 2.46%, thats really disheartening, oh well, I won't stop trying.
Loll your chances are not
Loll your chances are not only 2%. If you're not top 5% then it will be very tough. Your test scores matter too. I know tons of soph transfers, it is a lot easier that way.
Furthermore, your chances into mccombs will not e easier from Texas but your chances into UT are 100% if you are in state and top 7%

So glad I am instate!
McCombs is a joke. I know
McCombs is a joke. I know guys who didn't even get into UT out of high school, went to UT San Antonio and weren't retarded so got As, and transferred into UT/McCombs sophomore year. I know one person who transferred from UTSA into business honors at UT. Seriously, it's a joke. If you're Mexican you'll be forgiven for being half-retarded. They also let in one or two black people each year on what seems to be a lottery system.
When you get there, they'll tell you you're on par with students at Wharton. Don't believe them; chances are you're retarded and you would have gone to Penn if you could get in. UT is a great school for networking in Texas though; even the Harvard/Yale crowd in Houston/Dallas respect UT grads because they know that a large percentage of UT students who went to real high schools are intelligent and could have gone to decent colleges, but decided to party for four years instead.

Actually for most of us who aren't 'retarded', it was a money issue. I know tons of people who got into Ivys, top schools (myself included) and picked UT because it's very cheap instate and still has great recruiting. Every top bb and top mm recruits here. Tons of sophomores and juniors get internships in NY, granted Houston is easier. I wouldn't say it's a "joke", but if you have the money and get into Wharton - by all means. Not all of us grew up that privileged.
Wow, offended by your
