Cornell R3 - Any one interviewed yet?

When did you get to know?

Actually, i found out only a couple days after deadline, which was about 4 days after I submitted. I don't know if that means that I rock or that my name just comes early in the alphabet. I will be sure to report back.

YOu rock!

thanks - but first we should see how monday goes.

And good luck to you - hope the waiting doesn't make you too crazy!

you reckon?

i am going crazy !!!!!!!!!!!! waiting waiting..

in the mean time i am trying to prep for the duke interview for 5th feb.. maybe since i am making a class visit to cornell on 6th feb, they might want to see me then before making a decision to interview me?

i dont know.. it just sucks waiitng

Duke interview is done by a student - very conversational, at least in my case. I think the most important thing was to make sure that you're going to fit in and be someone they'd wnat to have in class. The interviewer had only my resume to go on.

Overall, it was very relaxed and low-pressure. One question threw me a bit - I don't know why, cause I had prepped for it, and I knew duke would ask this. they just wanted me to describe a team situation - one where you weren't a leader. I had planned to talk about a college situation, but that went right out of my head and had to scramble for something else. I think it was ok, but I am annoyed with myself 'cause I KNEW they would ask.

It would be nice if you could Cornell to interview when you visit, so that you can avoid making two trips. God knows Ithaca is not easy to get to. Are you sure that they know that you have applied and are visiting? Has anyone else had experience with this?

Well, in my application status for Cornell it says - under review
and it shows my class visit date there.. so hopefully thye know i am coming..

on top of that, the interview now shows n/a...

i really hope i get to hear something before then and try to co-ordinate both interviews together...

At Duke, I have prepped for the following -

Why Duke
What do I bring to Duke
Tell me about yourself
Walk me through your resume
What would you do if not accepted?
How would your friends describe you?
What are your weaknesses?
What are your strengths?
Why MBA?
Why now?

Am I missing anything?

Thanks in advance!

You are missing teamwork questions.

thanks!

you mean

leadership example in teamwork?
non-leadership example in teamwork?

anything else about teamwork?

those were the two leadership / teamwork questions I had.

She was also quite interested in my contribution to the community, but she was aiming for specific groups I would join. Less interested in the more "adding to diversity and learning experience" bent of that quesiton.

For Cornell, there was no place to write anything about what clubs we will join and lead while doing MBA.. for duke, we had ample space..

now i am wondering if i missed out some key things in cornell.. hence no interview call yet

Stop stressing! Do you have any other interview invites other than Duke?

technically duke is not an interview invite I opted for it. Yes I have GSB interview invite.. that I have to prep for..

I just realized now that I am not on your list of gsb candidates for the pant poopers thread for R1 and R2..

How would you deal with teammates that don't perform ? How would you build a strong team ? What would you contribute to a learning team ? What makes a team successful ? How do you resolve conflicts in a team ? How do you influence a team ?

Do you guys mind if I move the Duke Interview discussion to the new and fancy Fuqua Interview Sticky?

please go ahead... that would be nice

How did it go?
