Smeal Class of 2016 Calling all applicants!

I did not upload!

I have a non traditional background. Still dinged!.

I guess fit issues!.

And guys, do they offer feedback?

Interview Done. Now the wait begins...

Admitted with GA. I believe that is full tuition waiver with stipend, not sure though. Dream offer!!!! Yet to sink in! In fact, while typing this message I had to look at the email twice to believe it!

Admitted with GA, full tution waiver... R2 applicant, submitted application on 8th nov.... Was interviewed on 3rd dec. Decision came on 6th dec.. Really surprised and elated..

Admitted with a GA as well (full tuition waiver and stipend)!

Admitted to UNC as well, waiting to hear back on fellowship $$$ and then I'll have a decision to make...

I've received a few PMs regarding my profile so I'll just post my reply here....

28 yr old American male, 750 GMAT, varied work experience (restaurant management, sales, compliance/risk management), decent extracurriculars (Toastmasters, Big Brothers Big Sisters, local nonprofit small business consulting organization), PSU for undergrad (I'm sure that didn't hurt...haha)

Anybody from R2 still waiting for results like me?

I interviewed on Nov 22nd and still waiting..! As many R2 applicants already received their admit notifications, I am getting anxious...!!

Hi,

I have received admits for both Smeal and WP Carey MBA programs. I am planning to major in Supply Chain and both programs are ranked in top 10 for SCM. Financially both have given good offers! Any pointers here about these schools that might help me decide? Thank you!!

Smeal reputation with the employers in US is highly ranked in US and given the Supply Chain concenteration it is he best. It is my view that i have gathered from alumni and students over dere.
WPCAREY is equally ranked but if i were you i would have picked up Smeal.

Thank you Mridul! That definitely helps!!

Waitlisted

Submitted my application. Hope to get an invite soon.

Last year, I applied Smeal at Round 2. My GMAT was 640. I was denied after interview. Their feedback was:
-I needed to have more work experience (I had only 3 exp years)
-I didn't have a strong example of teamwork
-a concern in verbal communication

This year, I reapply Smeal at Round 2. My profile has been improved compared to last year. I retake GMAT =>690. I have got promotion in my company. I have got the blackbelt in Aikido. Few hours ago, I has been received the interview invitation email.
Can anyone share some tips in interview for me?
Thank you.

I submitted my application on 10th Jan. I got an interview invitation. Anybody here who took interview please please share your experience.
