Broad (Michigan State): Class of 2016 Calling all applicants

Thank you mate !

Thanks..i had lost hope after being WLed but was pleasantly surprised to receive an admit

Thanks..i hope they throw in a scholarship or/and GA

Hey guys! New to the forum, I appreciate any help.

Got admitted to both MSU (Broad) and IU (Kelley). MSU generously offered a nice scholarship and assistantship that covers the majority of cost. IU offered an assistantship that partially covered cost, but not to the level MSU did.

I'm looking for supply chain/logistics with a possible eventual transition to consulting, tech industry.

IU certainly has the esteem and alum, but MSU is more affordable and directly scm

Any advice?

If you want to go for core supply chain ill recommend MSU anyday over kelley...kelley is a good overall college. But when it cones to core Scm there arrnt a lot of colleges that are better than Broad.

I myself want to go for SCM and have spent a year just researching colleges . Even if you look at us news rankings MSU is only second to MIT . I Advise you just take a look at MSU vs Kelley 's scm faculty, that will really help you decide

I agree, I would look at it like this... the cost of attending is so small in the grand scheme of things I wouldn't put much emphasis on any scholarships or program cost. I would really care about how good the program is and which future employers recruit there. If I had to rank, in order of importance, my criteria for a school it would look like this:

1. Program/Specialty Rank
2. Extent of recruiting efforts by my target companies
3. Location of alumni (for networking)
4. Cost / Scholarships

The better the program -> the better recruiting from your target firms -> the better your post-grad opportunities (including pay). If you want SCM, and MSU is considered one of the best in the world, MSU makes sense to me.

any other round 2 applicants?

when they say decision by February 27, does that mean we will know if we made it to the interview round by February 27, or that by that date everyone will have been interviewed and have a final decision.

It generally means that all those who have been interviewed in that round will receive a admission decision by that date.

Hi Everyone,
I have applied for Broad school in R2, looking to major in SCM & Management. I have got a evaluative interview invite today.

Anyone else who have heard back for R2 ?

same here. got an offer for an interview today. pretty happy about the quick turnaround

any advice on the interview?

I meant to say evaluative interview invite not the interview itself . I would be preparing for the standard FAQ like Why MBA, goals - short/long/strengths/weakness.
I am planning to take it on-campus.

How about you?..When are you scheduling yours?...Will it be on-campus or through Skype?

I live in Michigan, about an hour from campus, so I think I will schedule in person. Done a little bit of preliminary research seems, for the most part, they have a common set of questions they ask applicants. basic stuff, nothing too crazy.

agree to look at FAQ and be familiar with the school. good to be prepared but not sound like a robot during the interview.

I am an R2 applicant from India. Interview scheduled on 24th.
overperformer & Thepraveen please share your experiences.

all the best for your interviews...

I submitted mine on jan11

Can some one throw some light on the interview questions

January 10th
