Hi Guys,

I received my interview invite on tuesday. When I was selecting a date for the Skype interviews, I found that no slot was available before 10th of November. Though I booked the interview on 10th, I wonder how they are going to give the early decision round results by 6th november to me now.

I wrote about the issue to the admissions team also the same day but havent got any reply from then as of now.

Can anyone tell me whats all this fuss?

Just give the admissions office a call. Ask to speak with Angela -- she is really nice. She scheduled a day and time for my interview since I had the same issue as you. -SC

Thanks for the suggestion bro. i got in touch with Mr. Heather and he has asked for re scheduling the interview.

Waiting for their confirmation now.

Hi Sarit

I was not able to find any information about fee waivers for the MBA program. I did find that a person could receive a waiver for attending an E-MBA session.

Not when you are applying. When you are accepted and you choose to attend Mendoza, you then contact your school and have it send your transcript over.

Hi Sarit

How is your Video interview going? Have you completed it yet?

Hey Candyff. Sorry for the delayed response :-D

I just finished off my video interview. Felt more like a video essay than an interview. Not too sure what to make of it !!

My questions were
1. Tell us about a significant event that shaped who you are today.
2. How do you define the ideal balance between work & recreation.
3. Who do you think is the ideal team leader.

1min response time for each question. I felt the time is too less for such broad ended questions.
Anyways fingers crossed. 8-)

Are you a re-app btw ? I am trying to figure out why a video interview when few people have been to the normal ones I think.

Great thanks for your information! It is helpful :-D

Yes, I am also a reapplicant. So maybe that's why both of us got the video interview instead.
Good luck to us! :lol:

For the essays, no word limit is provided and just the "no more than two pages and double spaced" instruction is given. I think a lot would depend on the font too here. What to interpret from this?

I used Calibri, which is the standard, and font 11, which is also the standard. I ended up writing about a page and a half, totaled 530 words approximately, which I think is quite consistent with most schools demanding 500 words.

Great..I hereby announce my intention to copy your font and its size.

Also, I just sent my gmat scores to Mendoza, so I assume it will reach them in a week. How does that affect my application? Will I be put into r2? Or can I contact them and ask about this?
