Thanks for making the effort Ankur and congratulations on your admit. Have you decided whether you'll be matriculating?
I have scheduled my interview with Emily in a couple of weeks' time. Do you have any tips about where/how to set up the laptop and what to wear for the interview? Should they be able to see my whole body on the screen or just above the torso? How close to the laptop should I sit? Just random questions that keep popping up in my head.
Thanks a lot and congratulations to you too for the invite.
Even I had my interview with Emily. She is nice
Going by my experience in skype interviews,
1. Wear proper business formals. Suit tie.
2. Make sure that the background is clutter free. Best would be to have a plain wall behind you, so that the interviewer is not disturbed.
3. You can plug in the headphones. I asked for the permission and then plugged them in my ears.
4. Just the torso should be fine, so you can actually interview in shorts. But I would suggest you to get dressed properly, as it givens you a sense of seriousness
I have not received any scholarship from Tepper, so I have a tough decision to make.
I have applied to quiet a few schools in R2, so will wait for some other results and then decide
Let me know if you have any other questions.
All the best!
