Calling All 2011 UNC Kenan-Flagler Applicants!

are you interviewing on campus? I emailed them and they said the Alum interview doesnt start till NOV - still within the NOV28 deadline for EA students... I think I will do EA for security blanket since they seem to like me to offer invite without me submitting app...

Add me for Early Decision. Wrapping up my application by the end of this weekend.

Done. What are your stats? I can incorporate them into the application profile.

All of my recommendations are having the same issue -- I'm quite blown away by their system. It's incredibly frustrating. To go along with the recommendation problem, my GMAT scores are MIA according to their system. Joy.



While I have no doubt that you're a strong candidate, I would be cautious with this thinking -- their system snafu with my recommendations means they haven't seen those, their system snafu with my GMAT score means they haven't seen that, and I have only my name/age/gender entered on my application (meaning they know absolutely nothing about me) and I still received that same interview invite. I thought their email was comical in my case -- "This is a positive indication of our assessment of your candidacy." -- I know for a fact they know nothing of my credentials.

do they see your GPA maybe you got a high one? I only have 1 rec in and other than that the app is "complete". My GPA is low so i think if anything my GMAT prob made their decision. But UNC is a decent school so i dont think they are twiddling their thumbs and scrap up interview invites just because you know? Maybe they liked your essays too - gmat is only one part of the app...

Just FYI they havent received my gmat either but i think they prob just look at the numbers listed.

I literally have nothing submitted -- my application is currently empty save for my name, age, and gender. No essays, no GMAT due to their screwy system, and no recommendations.

Go into your interview confident -- like I said, I'm sure you're a strong candidate, I just dont want people getting their hopes up that they are pretty much guaranteed a spot due to receiving an interview invite when clearly (as is my case), they'll interview pretty much anyone who starts an application.

haha i see. i just found out i forgot to submit my gmat scores so i just did it... well maybe bump me to R2? well i will setup interview in NOV and see how it goes.

if your gmat was high maybe they considered... i know my rec for both still in "not received" when the adcom has acknowledged one of them.. so yeah it is kinda weird like that...

piyushagarwal, KFBS is a premier school for entrepreneurship. They have fantastic practitioner faculty and their proximity to the research triangle is not something that should be ignored. I suggest you reach out to some of the MBA Ambassadors listed on KFBS's website (they're incredibly helpful) and see if the school is a good fit for you. If nothing else, I would highly recommend that you explore the possibility further. Good luck!

ps: for what it's worth UNC's campus is one of the most beautiful campuses I've ever visited.

are you at kenan now ariel? I am a bit worried about the low job rate post grad from kenan...

No, I'm not. Yeah that is something to be concerned about but hopefully things are looking up this year. KFBS has strong connections in the area as well as in NYC (finance mainly). It would be more challenging to find work if your interests lie elsewhere, or I should say a big part of your job search will likely be off-campus.

can people who get their interview invitation be kind enough to share their profile with us?

well i dont know since from Biggs's comment it seems they invite 'everyone' since he had very little on his profile. I had the app filled out with no official scores sent at that time and 1 rep sent. So basically you are looking at somebody being invited due to possibly his profile vs someone who had very little... I think we need some more people here to step up if they got invites to shed more light on this. I am hesitant to ask the admission about this since it *might* be a negative for me you know?

Hey folks,

I just got an interview invite this evening. I filled out some data on the application, but it was limited to personal information, test scores, and work experience. I just filled it out yesterday so either they send an invite to everyone, or they have a trigger from test scores or something.

BusinessWeek's Kenan-Flagler profile states:

"Applicants (admitted and denied) who were interviewed: 97%"

I would say that pretty much everyone gets an interview.

Best of luck to all of you.

Count me in for R2

Guys, ppl who got invites to interview did you get an email invite?

And wat is this interviews&campus visits link on the student centre ?is it available to everyone?
