Goizueta (Emory) - Calling All 2013 MBA Applicants

Congrats to everyone who has been accepted!
Anyone willing to share some of their interview questions? My int. will be this Saturday.
Nonetheless, enjoy your holidays

I had my interview during the open interview period in early October, but I recall these questions -

Walk through your resume. (Mini questions in between this walk through, be prepared to talk about every point on your resume and the reasons behind each decision)
Why MBA? (I worked in my short and long term goals here.)
Why Now?
Why Emory?
Tell me about a team experience.
Tell me about a recent article you read that interested you and why.
Anything else you like to share? (I mentioned a few extra curriculars here)
Questions for the interviewer?

Very friendly tone, in fact my interviewer started things off by telling me about herself and that these interviews are purposefully informal to get to know the applicant.

Good luck!

Hi all,

I completed the payment for application fee 45 minutes ago. However, as of now no confirmation email about my payment.
I also submitted my application ( about 30 minutes ago).

So far nothing has come in my inbox. I am so worried. Can my application be reviewed in R2 ?

What should i do now ???
Thank you.

Live Essay Writing Workshop, presented by Admissionado

Sigh. The MBA Application essays. Who thought it was a good idea to ask people to write 2000 words before they even get INTO school? Turns out, it doesn’t matter, because someone did… and now you have to come up with the most compelling and memorable essays about leadership that you can. And then do it again for every school you apply to.

It’s not easy, but this upcoming event should help. Submit your MBA Application essay to have an opportunity to have it reviewed for free by the team at Admissionado. Three essays will be selected, and if you are one of the lucky ones, you will have the opportunity to go through your essay with Phillip Herring (admissions expert and CBS MBA) in a live session. You will need to be OK with sharing your essay with attendees (don’t worry – we’ll keep your name/private info out of it), and available and online at the time of the event to chat it up with Phillip. Even if you aren’t selected, listen in, because there will still be plenty of essay advice to go around.

Submit your essay to lauren@admissionado.com by Monday, December 3. You will find out if you are selected by Wednesday, December 5. Then join the live event on Thursday, December 6 at 6pm PST. Register Now [FREE!]

Same issue here too. Mailed the Adcom as well about the confirmation email. Did not get a response.

In the workex section, I have put the number of months experience I have right now, and not at the time of joining

Is that alright ?

If not, can I do something ?

Also, one of my recommenders submitted the recommendation a few hours late, Is that ok ?


Thanks!

I don't think I got any email confirmation last year either. As long as you submitted on time , you should be good.
And the admissions committee was pretty busy over the last few days organizing Super Saturday. [And one of em was in India], so I wouldn't expect a very quick response. And they'll probably have overflowing inboxes on Monday, so please be patient with them.

Also. CMG, I can't authoritatively say how the late recommendation will affect you. And when the school hasn't specified a guideline (be sure to read the FAQs though), some people list the work ex at the time of matriculation and some at the time of filling the application. In these cases, it makes more sense to fill the larger value. Though again, I wouldn't know how to resubmit that part of your application (maybe you could email them, but don't expect a prompt response), but keep this in mind for your future applications.

Finally, congratulations to all admitted applicants. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions if you have any.

Thanks a lot for your response AJ, will mail the adcom and hope for the best. Will also try to call them tomorrow.

I recently attended the MBA Tour in Bangalore and met an alum of the school..his experiences were amazing with the school and I feel that one can't go wrong about Emory..I've shared my experiences of the same here.

Received an email today with instructions about the network ID and password. You can view your to-do application checklist after creating a network ID and pwd.

Please pm me if you need any more information.

A question for the first round applicants, how long will it take Emory to give invites for the second round? The D-day is Jan 25 i think.

I got my invite about a week and half after the deadline for round 1. But have also heard other applicants get it a few days after as well.

To applicants who were accepted.

Congratulations! Just curious, for those accepted into the two year. Was it your first choice? As I recall you had the option to choose multiple programs in one app.

Appreciate your response.

I applied round one and got my invite on October 31

Which is almost a month after round one deadline

Hi everyone !!

Any waitlist applicant from R1 ?

Currents students or co-applicants --- Would love to get some tips on waitlist strategies and what can be done to improve chances of getting an invite.

Do waitlisted applicants have the next status change only by the next application decision deadline or one might get an invite before that ?

Has anyone applied for 1 year MBA Course at Emory? Or is there a different link for that?

I applied to the 1-year program.
