Calling all Merage(UC Irvine) Applicants: (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!

harshanandepu89 Thanks for the prompt reply and congratulation on you accept from Merage. I was hoping they would wind up with the decision before going on the long vacation

Applied for the EMBA program. Submitted my application December 1st. Still waiting to hear anything back. Although my last letter of recommendation posted December 15th. If not accepted, will the school tell you that too?

got accepted to Merage. Got the mail just before the holiday started. Status has not changed on the portal though Still waiting for that :-/

hey guys...
happy new year
Need some advice...
Indian/Male/GMAT:640/WE: 4 years (Automotive Mfg. & Non-Profit)..
Shall i apply?

Guys, would love some inputs!

Well, no one can tell this other than adcom, and there is nothing wrong in asking adcom directly. I checked with adcom before applying and they responded well. IMO, checking with adcom before applying make sense as it saves a lot of effort on both ends.

Just in case you decide to apply, keep in mind that you have to mail your hard copy of transcripts to the Merage.

Also, I'm not sure if you are considering Krannert MBA. It's a good program for post mba manufacturing industry. Thanks.

Hello folks, I received an interview invite today. The interview is the video interview with a set of pre-recorded questions and the interview has to be completed with in a week.

Anybody with the same experience? I see many people received the in-person or skype interview.

Even i received an Invite for a Video Interview. Can someone who has gone through the same procedure share some insights about the Video Interview??

In the similar boat..though we can have unlimited practice sessions before starting with real action.

Congrats man...Any info on waivers you got if any?

Hi All,

Congrats and Kudos to all those who have made it to the Merage MBA program.
Good Luck to the ones applying or have interview or are waiting for the decision.

Do post your questions in the forum and I will be happy to provide my insight.

Thanks for making yourself available! Can you give us insights into the Merage network? How much did it come into play when recruiting? Your concentration seems similar to what I want to do. How did your schedule look? How often where you on campus?

Admitted in R2 with $$. Got the email yesterday!

I got invited to a video interview as well (the one with pre-recorded questions) kind of confused...
anyone had that before?

hey guys,

How long did it take to hear back from the adcom after application submission?
I submitted my app on 13th Jan.

Hi Everone ,
I have submitted my application at Merage school. I have few questions though which I have mailed to adcom as well. But if anyone can help me with answers if would be great. These are regarding official hardcopies of transcripts to be sent to college.

I have below questions.

•I have my university Official transcripts with me but they are not in the sealed ENVELOPE from University. The transcripts themselves contain the seal from University . Will these be considered ?
•Do I need to send anything apart from college/university transcripts (that contain all the details of subjects studied/ marks secured etc.) . College website says "proof of graduation/conferral needs to be sent". What is it? I have original degree of graduation and when getting transcripts from my university I received just the transcripts and nothing else.
•My understanding is that transcripts to be sent are required for colleges and universities that I attended and NOT High school and secondary school. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Sudhanshu,
1) That should be fine. You can still drop them a mail and check.
2) your final degree and transcripts are all that they need.
3) High school and secondary school not required.

Hope that helps!
