All MPA applicants are required to submit GMAT scores. No waiver requests are accepted.
We do not accept the GRE in place of the GMAT.

You will be required to wait 31 calendar days if you wish to retake the exam.*

Your scores will arrive at UT-Austin and become an official part of your application approximately 3 to 4 weeks after the official score report is requested.

All application materials, including the official test scores, must be received before the admissions committee will review your file for an admissions decision.

pencil-and-paper Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I have to take the GMAT before I submit my application?

No. You can leave the GMAT section blank in the application if you haven’t taken the exam yet. Be sure to designate UT-Austin as a score recipient after you take the exam.

What is the minimum GMAT score the MPA program will consider?

The MPA program does not impose minimum scores and considers the GMAT in the context of a holistic review of all admissions criteria. That said, the GMAT is an important component of the MPA application. You may find it helpful to review our current student MPA class profile as well as the tips to make your application stand out.

Can I use test scores that are about to expire?

GMAT scores are valid for five years from the test date. As long as the official score report is submitted to UT-Austin before the expiration of the exam, we can use the score for admission purposes. For example, if you took the exam in November 2010 and submit the scores before November 2015, we can use the scores for the entire fall 2016 application cycle. If you do not submit the scores by the exam expiration date, you would need to retake the exam.

First and foremost, be yourself. The purpose of the essay is to provide the admissions committee with a better understanding of what makes you unique. It gives you an opportunity to stand out from the sea of applicants. Provide a thoughtful portrayal of why you are interested in the Texas MPA and how our program will assist you in reaching your goals. Don’t write what you think the admissions committee wants to hear! We would like to know about your unique aspirations and achievements and will not judge what you aim to do with your career.

Develop your ideas, but be concise. Although you should focus more on content than length, the average essay is approximately two pages long. As a result, it is important to stay concise and avoid repeating information that is readily available in other parts of the application. Rather than simply listing your experiences, let us know how these experiences helped you to grow personally or professionally. We want to get to know you from a perspective that cannot be achieved by reviewing transcripts, test scores and resumes.

Mind your writing technique. The essay is a reflection of your written communication skills. Avoid being too wordy; stay focused and organized; and check your grammar, spelling and punctuation.

Clarify. You can use the essay as an opportunity to explain weaknesses in your record. If you do, be sure to explain them adequately and address your attempts to improve.

The New Braunsfels area is great. It is still a pretty small but you have San Antonio 30 minuets to the south and Austin is 45 minuets to the north.Since it is so close3 to 2 major cities it shouldn't be that hard to find a job. It is a tourist destination because it is home to Schlitterbahn Water Park and a few rivers and lakes. It is about a 3 to 4 hour drive to Fort Worth.
