Cranfield 2013-Calling All Applicants

Just to report, me too on the queue

Yesterday I had my Cranfield interview. It was one of the best interviews , rather discussion as mentioned by interviewer. I get to know Cranfield better and I would like to share here. Cranfield is mainly meant for senior guys who have around 5-7 years of experience and this is obvious from their class profile. Also average age of their class is around 31. To me , Cranfield is a friendly , experienced , mature and prestigious management institute. Their method of teaching and curriculum is a bit different as well.

Overall interview was quite good. Around 20 min were spent on presentation and related discussion. After that we discussed about WHY MBA , WHY Cranfield. Also there were questions related to work experiences , leadership abilities and personality.

Do contact me if you need to know anything else about Cranfield.

I completely agree with you.

One interesting thing came up during my discussion (I mean interviews) was why Cranfield is not called Cranfield Business School, rather called as Cranfield School of Management (very unique indeed!!)?. Lot of insights came up and I am very much convinced that it is meant for matured managers!! I got a reassuring conviction that they truly understand the big spectrum of management.

I read somewhere "Cranfield makes manager a better manager" and that humble and practical statement perfectly resonate with me as I have huge doubt about other school's tall claim of turning a 2 years grad into a business leader!!


Fraz, let us know your outcome and we will be glad to see you in Sep 2013

Why so quite during this peak time of admission?

Just to update that there is a closed facebook group for Cranfield admitted students

Hi Guys !

After being a silent spectator for ages, thought I should post something on this forum.

Today I had an interview call with Mr. David Simmons. It was a more than one hour discussion. Very insightful and never knew when the one hour went by. The only tricky part was the presentation, but then even before entering the program, Cranfield succeeded in providing challenging and thought provoking assignment. I am really interested in Cranfield due to its high acceptance of more than 10+ years of work experience candidates.

Hope to get in...

Hello guys,

I am looking forward to give my interview on coming 18th may at Cranfield SOM. I attended their preview day in march & was impressed enough to put in my application. Though I have applied to couple of other universities in UK, I am really looking forward towards cranfield. Hope I will make it.

Any guidance regarding interview prep will be welcomed.

Regards,

Rohan.

Just be yourself.

You must appear as logical and your statements/stand should appear convincing supported by reasoning.

You will enjoy the interviews, like many of us did. I know the interviews was the tipping point for many of us to select only Cranfield, nothing else.

Cheers and best of luck. See you on 30th Sep.

Hello Guys,

I can confirm now that I have been admitted to Full time MBA 2013.

Looking forward to see you all on 30th Sept.

If anyone want to talk more on & about Cranfield, drop me a message here & I will reply right away. I am currently in UK & been to Cranfield campus 3 times now. so if anyone has questions regarding campus, I will try n give answer with best of my knowledge.

Regards.

So finally how many are getting in?

Looking at the actions in various UK school threads, does not look a very promising year. Whether you like or not, such little enthusiasm in UK school will affect quality of students getting admitted!

Hello everyone,

I just got the email with the offer to Cranfield MBA and think to accept it as Cranfield was my first choice.

Hope to see you all soon,
Nik

Congrats!

Welcome to the group. Speak to Helen and join the facebook group soon.

Hey! Congrats!

I will have a telephone interview soon with Cranfield SOM (MSc Strategic Marketing 2013) and do you guys have any advice please? It is my first choice as well. I have more than 3 years marketing relevant working experience but I have not learned much marketing theory. What types of cases will they give?

Hey I'm so glad to be offered a place in MSc Strategic Marketing, looking forward to going there in Sept 2013 hahaha

So thrilled

Hello
how long does it take for the university to send an offer after an interview call?
Can anyone fail the interview call?
