Calling all (UNC) Kenan-Flagler Applicants - Class of 2017

soooooo my interviewer was supposed to Skype me at 4pm... it's now 4.07. What do i do? call the number...?

I had my interview with Katie Dunn from Adcom earlier this week over Skype. No new questions other than the ones mentioned in earlier posts. Although it went fine, I ended up feeling that my best didn't really come out. But may be because it was my first admissions interview. The wait begins for March 16th. Good luck people!

RG800: What you could do this is look-up on linkedin! I connected with a lot of people by finding their e-mail ids on linkedin or sending them an "inmail" and most of them respond and very forthcoming! Hope this helps.

I also interviewed with Amanda Harding Feb 11, 2015. She is such a pleasant woman, the interview went fine, very conversational style.. She asked me a lot of questions on my old job new job, team handling, accomplishments, leaderships, etc. She also mentioned I had an interesting profile and that she hopes to meet me on campus! But I don't wanna read too much into it! Anyone who has an upcoming interview, do prep on 'team' questions - how many how u handles, challenges you have faced in handling teams, etc.. They seem to focus a lot on that..

You could also email one of the student ambassadors. https://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/admissions/mba/mba-ambassadors

Hey folks...

I just had an interview with one of the admissions director. Has anyone of you sent in a thank you note post the interview? If yes, then how did you find their email ID? I know it sounds stupid, but they don't seem to have it on their site.

As for the experience, I'll be posting it shortly.

I was also interviewed by Philippe Barr, but cannot get his email address from Skype. Does anyone know his email address?
Thanks a lot.

anyone going to the admitted fellow weekend?

Yup, I'll be there.

I had my interview with Amanda Harding last Friday. Overall, it was a very relaxed one with no major bouncers.

She explained how the admission process works. Basically there are 3 Admission directors reviewing one application. One is the person who interviews and does not read the application. One is the person who reads the application but does not have access to the interview and then the third, who has access to both the application and the interview. Then they collectively take a decision.

Questions asked were pretty standard.

1.Where did you grow up and how did it influence you?
2.Why did you chose your undergraduate major?
3.What extra-curricular were you involved in college? Describe the most challenging situation in your extra-curricular activity?
4.Standard job responsibilities in both my jobs and significant Professional achievement?
5.Describe a situation where you faced a challenge while leading your team?
6.Why MBA? Why KF?
7.Any questions?

Overall, it was very relaxing, she once cracked a joke about UNC-Duke rivalry. She was keenly asking questions on my work because most of my work has been in the construction technology field, especially green buildings which she said is a hot topic in the school and Research Triangle region. She suggested me to get in touch with one of the MBA ambassadors to learn more about the school.

Here is my 2 cents- know yourself and know your stories, practice but do not over prepare. Just be your normal self. They really..really want to know the person behind your application. That's why they take the pain to interview each and every candidate.

Cheers

Hmm this is an interesting insight.. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the decisions!

Thanks freeflow

I interviewed with John Hughes and he told me about a very different process. He said that after the interview he would go through my file, which had not been reviewed until then. Then in a joint meeting of all admission directors he would defend my case while all the other directors would be asking questions related to my candidacy. Eventually everyone except John would vote for and against me.
Quite a different process IMHO.

Heh, sounds like KF is trying to figure out where their information leaks are by giving different stories and looking at what shows up on the internet. From one of the students who helps with admissions, I heard something similar to what neo656 stated.

John told me exactly the same thing.

I had my interview this morning. It was a very pleasant and cheerful conversation. It's discussions like these that draw me to KF. Does anyone know whether we hear back only on March 16 or whether the decisions are on a rolling basis after the interview is completed? In other words, is there a possibility of hearing back with a decision prior to March 16?

I was an R3 applicant and I've heard back already. But I'm a bit of a special case because I'm local and they wanted me to attend the fellows weekend coming up. (Yes, I was awarded a full fellowship!)

I don't think most decisions come early, although they seemed pretty informal about making the offer early, so who knows. Good luck!

in the same boat as below.

think it might happen on a slight rolling with majority our on the 6th (pure speculation)
