I submitted my application on October 13th, I got invited to the online international student session and was informed that they would be in touch with me to schedule an interview.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the online webinar held yesterday, I would really appreciate if someone could brief me about it, especially the interview tips part.

Thanks,

Hi jkaustubh

I have been invited for the interview and was asked to provide two convenient dates and times. I have not heard back from the AdCom since then! I could have dropped another email but didn't want to cause any inconvenience. So here I am, instead.
Any help in this regard? Or is it because of the weekend?

Regards,
Rex

Yes, I too received an email from Brett. He is the Admission Coordinator in COX.
Do not mean any offence, but months back, when I was starting the application, I had sent an email. There has not been any reply, yet!
So I was kind of worried.

Hey guys, I think you should seriously follow up since I got my confirmation on the day I provided them the dates I am available to be interviewed.

Just got my interview done with JR McGrath. Very friendly chat. The usual question Walk-through? Why MBA? Why now? What are you looking for in a school? Difficult situation at work? hobbies?
And in the end questions by me. Nothing formal. For guys yet to be interviewed, chill and give it your best shot.

Decisions will be out in 2 weeks time.

Done with the interview. The first interview of the season and I was nervous too :(
I guess I should have loosened up a bit. I did my best, so anyway I hope that it's a good news.

The usual question, Why MBA, Why COX, Go through your resume, and what would your team member say about you.

Good luck guys. :D

Had my interview yesterday with Jillian Melton

It was pretty much a Conversational chat. Questions asked were

Walk me through your resume
Describe your routine job day schedule
What other schools have you applied to
How does your sub ordinates/colleagues describe you
Tell me a situation when you have exceeded your expectations
why did you choose your undergraduate major
Any questions for us
The interview lasted for about 30 mins.

When can we expect the final calls?
