Its been a few months but the interview questions were very much as described by previous applicants; Why the MBA? What are you going to do with it? Why Notre Dame?; Ethics questions, how and why should a person incorporate ethics into everyday/business life, give an example of ethical leadership; leadership question: how do you lead and what is leadership to you; I had a case question, was given ten minutes to read over an excel spreadsheet, after the allotted time I was asked to make a presentation of the material to the admissions director, very much "fit" related questions, ran through my resume and tried to get an overall feel of myself as an individual (would I be a good fit for Notre Dame?), I asked questions, and followed through with small talk. Great interview, Notre Dame is a school on the up; any further questions feel free

Yeah, it's pretty much what Worthy said; typical interview mix of fit questions, past experience questions etc. I was asked about an ethical dilemma in the workplace and integrity in general was stressed in the interview which makes sense considering it's Notre Dame. I too had to analyze some data on the spot. Nothing crazy, just trying to throw you off a bit I suppose. Hmmm.... can't think of anything else atm. I wish I had the remote Adam Sandler had in Click so I could fast forward a couple weeks.

Interviewed with an alum--went well I think, hope she thought the same though. As for questions, nothing out of the ordinary--why ND, why business school, case question, etc.

I applied in the second round. But my application was put in to complete status only today (there was some problem with my certificates apparently). They sent me an email saying that they would send a decision by Mar 1. Any point hoping for an interview call now? Is any one else waiting for the interview call or the process has already finished? :(

Have any round 2 applicants received a decision yet? I interviewed a few weeks back and have not yet heard.

Anybody know how early before the final deadline ND decisions were released in the past? In looking through earlier posts on this thread, it seems like most decisions aren't released until the last day of the deadline (March 1, in this case)

If any invite is going to be sent out, it should be out by today.
Else, it's not happening.

Hi, does anyone know if you can take some courses at other Mendoza programs (for example other Masters) as an MBA student? Thanks.

MBA83I; legitimate inquiry, there are inter-disciplinary courses that are taken through the Law School and other colleges on campus. I know the core courses are all fulfilled through/in the Mendoza College building but elective classes are available in all of the other applicable colleges/schools on campus. Mendoza is unique in that the college has a superior undergraduate staff willing and able to contribute classes and a wealth of diversity to the already outstanding MBA faculty. I personality would like to take business law classes

Mine has also been under review since shortly after the interview. In the tracker, do the blue helmet guys mean matriculating?

Nothing for me either. My guess is they wait up until the deadline (Mar 1) to release them all.

Blue Helmet guys? The blue M means matriculating if that's what you mean.

Talking about the bluish icon on the personalized tracker from the forum index page. It looks like a side view of a helmeted legionnaire. Not sure what it means
