Calling all Simon(Rochester) Applicants: (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!!

Hi Debwenger,
It depends on what criteria you are fulfilling for fee waiver.If you have attended any on-campus or off-campus even then you not need to send separate email.But if you are fulfilling any other criteria then you have to send them an email,but send atleast 5-6 days before the deadline.
Hope it helps.

Just submitted my application for Round 1!

Good luck to everyone else who is applying!

Wow! That was fast. I'm submitting my application tonight. I look forward to hearing how everyone does.

Out of curiosity, did you complete a application consultation before submitting your application? If so, what was the outcome? (if you don't mind my asking)

~David

Hello David!

I did not complete an application consultation. You are right, the whole thing went so fast, I heard back in just 3-4 days after submitting the application!

Best of luck!

The following blog post was written by Isaac Goodling, 2016 MBA Candidate If you know someone from Upstate New York, there is a good chance that you have heard them refer to the pleasure of having “all four seasons.” While this is admittedly a bit clichéd, it does not make it any less true – […]

dwartenb89 kheown guys do share your experience post interview. We would love to hear from you guys or anyone else who have had an interview or has scheduled an interview.

Thanks for the info.I finally did get a fee waiver.
Submitted my apps couple of hours before the deadline.

Best of luck mate....Do you have any idea which universities give application waiver?

Hello!

Mine was a very conversational 30-minute blind interview (my interviewer had only read my resume). Some of the questions that were asked:

Tell me about yourself
Why MBA
Why Simon
ST & LT goals
What can you contribute to Simon
What role do you play in a team
Cross-cultural/international experience
What skills or personal development are you looking for through the MBA at Simon
Do you have any questions for me?

If you are interviewing over Skype, make sure you initiate the video call at the scheduled time.

Good luck to the rest of you!

Now the waiting begins...

Congrats everyone who got invite from Simon. Whoever else got invite and not in the table , please update your status to reflect on table.

Best of luck to others who are still waiting for their invites, including me

Just wanted to drop a quick note as I was interviewed today.

My interviewer only had seen my resume, and even that probably not more than for a minute or two prior. Very friendly interviewer. Some main questions I recall:

Started off with: Walk me through your Resume

Why Simon?
What separates you and makes you better than anyone else applying?
What will the determining factor(s) be if you are offered acceptance letters from all of your schools?
How have lead in a group and what style would you say your leadership was?
What is most important to you when choosing schools to apply to?
How do you define success? Or, what would make you feel like you had a successful career after looking back on it?

I had a few more questions that I can't remember at the moment, but the interview as a whole was very relaxed.
