It looks like Tepper sends out interview invites without even looking at your application package completely and 70% of the applicants recieve interviews.

So for those who haven't recieved invites yet, just sit back and relax.

I submitted mine on Nov. 01, received inviation one one week after. Have scheduled for a campus visit on 23rd.

GMAT 750/6.0
WE: 4.5 years till 2011 Fall
Graduate GPA: 3.64

Have been tortured by the waiting for Yale and Johnson so I wasn't gonna report my Tepper status. But then I figured it might be helpful for some people.

Good luck to us all.


Wow ? I 'thought' the last date for R1 was 25th Oct. Here you say you submitted your app on 1st Nov, got an invite the next week and have you interview (which I assume would be part of your campus visit) on 23rd !

Are they counting you for R1 ? Or am I missing something ? :?:

That's why I don't think they read the application packages carefully before extending invitations. It looks like the invitations are sent on a rolling basis and pretty much every applicant gets invited.

You never know what order they take to review applications. So hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

My Application status: "Stage 3: Under review..."

No interview invite for me yet. :?

It seems CMU is not strictly adhering to the published deadlines.

I guess Krystal asks similar questions to everybody . My list was more or less the same too.
Lets sit back and pray now :)

Amber you from India ?
If yes, I believe a lot of Indians have got invites from Tepper. I also know a couple of my friends who have got 'em.
Hope that answers your question, passion4ivymba.

What kind of clothes should I wear for an on-campus interview? I will have the interview tomorrow as well as a campus tour and lunch with current students. I plan to wear a white shirt and a black pencil skirt with a coat which I can take off indoor. Is it too formal?

It won't be weird because they will introduce you to the class at the beginning and everyone will know you're interviewing.

no it wont. And it is better to be safe than sorry. When I was there for visit/interview there was this one girl who wore flannel and dress pants and i hope she didnt do interview as well the same day because that was a no no.

Also, did anyone else interview with Krystal Brooks and thought she tried to keep it under 30mins? That interview just not sitting well with me whenever I look back at it...
