Calling All AGSM 2014 Applicants

Hello

I also finally got interviewed yesterday on 1st July. My interviewer was Mr Jonathan Jones. He is the Director, MBA Student Recruitment. Very nice and easygoing guy. Interview went on for 25-30 minutes. We had discussion on following topics:
- My current job profile
- Why MBA at this stage
- Why from AGSM
- My Future goals and any target companies.

It was a smooth affair and now I am waiting for the their final decision. Looks like I was one of the last to get interviewed. He mentioned that in enxt twor -three days they will finalize the first round list.
Please let me know if anyone else received any formal call for admission ?

Regards

I had the same problem with Neeley School's essay and normally they allow upto 260 or so...Just confirm by dropping an email.


Consider Kudos If my post helps!!!

Hi All

I applied for the AGSM full-time MBA program in R2 and had my interview today with Jonathan Jones, Operations Director. Firstly, thanks a lot to all of you'll for sharing your profiles and for the questions about the interview. It really helped me prepare.

As expected, I was asked very standard questions about career progression, career goals, how an MBA would help me at this point and why AGSM. The interview lasted for about 20 minutes and it was quite interactive.

Just to share my profile as well.. I work as a Consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers in their Risk Advisory business in Mumbai. I have been with the firm for a little more than 6 years. Have traveled extensively for client assignments, which was also a small topic of discussion during the interview.. I have had average acad scores all throughout, good extra curricular activities, but very strong recommendations from my Executive Directors. IELTS of 8.5..

Looking to apply for scholarships now - do let me know in case anyone can help me with this..

Congratulations to all who have been offered admission and all the best to the ones who have interviews lined up..

Cheers

Congrats on your admission and scholarship.
To clear your doubts :
- You are right , we need to pay before every session. I think there are four for our course. So you have a census date for each session before which you need to finalize your subjects and payment. For first session it will open up in end November and close in December. So our first payment needs to be masde in that time frame.
- Yes, Scholarship money will be adjusted on pro-rata basis ( that's what the mail said)
- I have already answered this question as part of first answer.
- Final fees will be declared in October, but tentatively it has been set around $75040 (6% increase over previous year).

Cheers,

Hi Mate,

I have been working in sales and marketing in australia for the last 8 years. I want to tell you some facts as they might be bit hard to digest. I am australian citizen but was born in india. I had 3 friends of mine 2 did mba from MBS and 1 did from Macquire school in sydney itself. All of them had to go back because of visa. The issue is if you don't have the permanent residency or citizenship companies simply won't take it. Just check any job website. www.seek.com.au
First thing 90% of the company ask is are you PR or citizen and if you say yes then they say provide the photocopy obviously. So that is the hard fact. I have known hundreds if not thousands of people in my industry and finance and I haven't come across a single person who has got sponsorship from the company in australia. Now I am not trying to demotivate you.
Positive part is AGSM is very well known all over asia so you have the opportunity to work anywhere in asia and you will get good competitive package.

If you have the PR or citizenship then all the doors are open for you but if you are not then 99 doors are closed and that 1 door which is open I am not aware of.

Thanks,

Hi All,

Also if anyone can shed some light on post AGSM options??? PR is a problem in Aussie, but is it in AGSM recruitments too?

Thanks!!!!

I am pretty new to GMATCLUB but have been following this forum for years. I applied for AGSM MBA 2014 R1 and had an interview on Jun 24th. Today I got an unofficial confirmation of successful candidature. Email confirmed that official details will follow soon. I am really glad with the offer. I would like to meet others in this forum and would like to share with my experience that include PR. Thanks!

My interview was with Prof.Mark Stewart. It was general questions :
1> My current Role
2> Why MBA
3> Why from AGSM
4> You know anything about Sydney?

At last he asked if I have some queries regarding the course or AGSM. It went as usual. In total interview went for 20 minutes. My interview was on Skype and later switched to Audio because of connectivity issues

Congrats Gssumesh & Shailaja !!! Can you please share your profiles and GMAT score if you do not mind !!!! I am planning to apply for R2...Can you give me some tips on essays as well !!! I am totally confused....

Hi,
I also had an interview on 2nd of July and got an unofficial confirmation.Could anyone tell me about PR problems and if getting a job is an issue even after AGSM for Indians, although it is one of the best schools down under.
