Good luck everyone!
I'm a re-applicant (R1 w/ interview, then waitlist, then dinged) that will be submitting R1. Hoping for a dual MBA/MHSA.
Last week, I received an email from ross inviting me to set up a 10 minute phone feedback appointment, which I promptly scheduled for later this week. Has anyone else scheduled one of these? Or previously had one (even at a different school)? And advice would be much appreciated
Edit:
The feedback wasn’t anything earth shattering. They told me it was going to be a 10 minute phone interview and we kept it to that length.
We discussed my strengths and weaknesses in my application from last year and I came away knowing I needed to
1 – do a better job explaining how a MBA will lead to my ultimate career goals
2 – show better leadership examples
3 – not come across as too competitive
I already knew that I needed to improve on those first 2 points. However, the 3rd surprised me a bit.
Looking back it derived from my interview from last year. In it, I was asked which 3 adjectives best describe me and one of my answers was “competitive”. I went on to explain that it was self-competitive so I always strive to improve. And although I used another adjective to talk about how I value a team first attitude, “competitive” was still a mistake.
