Congratulations to everyone that is taking this exciting step and submitting applications to MBA programs. I am a FEMBA student at Anderson, and wanted to make myself available to anyone that has questions about the application process or the experience. I know there is a lot to take in, weigh and worry about as this waiting game progresses.
One of the most frequent questions I get about the process is the about the interviews. The "Super Saturday" admission interviews can be daunting, but they are administered by students and alums that are passionate about the program, and just want to learn more about you guys. They are not gatekeepers, and although it is easier said then done, just take a breath relax, and treat it like another opportunity to learn about the program and get that added dimension beyond rankings speculation, and admission statistics. Best of luck, and I will be checking in on this thread to see if I can be of assistance!
Best,
Andy Bruin

Is anyone else getting antsy waiting for the FEMBA decision date (December 9)??
I applied in R1 but was unable to make it to Super Saturday for an interview. I was not contacted for a phone interview, so that might be a bad sign. The one major weakness in my application is my cumulative GPA (3.03), however, I'm hoping that my major GPA (3.8) will make up for it.
I hate waiting! How are the rest of you getting through this?

@amylucha, I feel your pain. I am getting anxious as well. I'm the yin to your yang. Hoping my GPA makes up for less than stellar GMAT. I am surprised there are no decisions out yet for FEMBA r1. Don't know what to expect...
