Hi guys,

I just received my video interview invite. Can Anyone who has been through this let me know of their experience?.. Also, kindly request to post the questions that were asked.

Regards,
Jayanth



Hey Jayanth,

If its the video interview with recorded questions interview on kira talent platform, that you are talking about, I gave it couple of weeks ago. There were 3 questions.
The questions were pretty normal and non-standard. My internet connection got AWOL while I was on 3rd question so when I connected back, I got a new question.
Q1- If we talk to your colleagues , what all would we get to know about your strengths and weaknesses?
Q2- What is the most challenging aspect of managing a team?
Q3- Who is your most favorite innovator and why?(Discarded due to net connection)
Q4- In your line of work when did you provide an innovative solution to a problem?(Might come re-phrased)

But most probably, since these are non-standard questions, you might not get any of these. In any case, the questions wont be nothing you wont be able to imagine an answer to, in 30 seconds.
All the best :)


Hi there. Can you tell us how long you had for each question?

For example: Yale MBA only gave 60-90 seconds per question.

Thanks for the input!

Hey, you get 30 secs to prepare and then 90 secs to talk to about the topic. You can try out the sample question on the portal. It's of the same format.

Any international waitlisted applicants?

I am an international applicant, but in a different situation. I currently work in the US and have applied and interviewed for the fully employed (part-time) program. Still waiting to hear back.
No idea on chances for waitlisted candidates but from my meeting with the admissions committee, they seemed very interested in each individual application and took the time to learn about the person behind each application. Hang in there!

I just completed my video interview today. I will have to wait to hear for an interview call from 'em now.

jayanthjanardhan: Sorry to learn about the WL. After how many days from your interview have they released the decision?

I received the email for a skype or in person interview last week. Applied R2 but my LOR's were submitted two weeks late.
I didn't receive a video interview. I'm from PA so I scheduled an in person interview for early April to check out the location before I made any decisions!

Does anyone have any more info about the in person interviews?

Hi all,

I am a FEMBA applicant, and submitted my application by the April 1 deadline. It has been a month since my application was considered fully complete on the Merage portal. Has anyone heard back with a decision?

Thanks for the advice. I actually contacted them via email, and I was told my application is being reviewed by the admissions committee. I am not sure what the holdup is but I am hoping for the best!

Good luck on your application!
I am actually thinking about applying to Merage in a couple of years. I'm not sure if I will be going FT or FEMBA but may I ask for your profile?

Hey Kurai,

Thanks! Everything is out of my hands at this point as I already submitted my applications for FEMBA programs. I only submitted 2 applications: UCI Merage and UCLA Anderson.

My profile:
- GPA: 3.6
- GRE: 1300 (690 Quant, 610 Verbal; I took the old one a few years ago)
- Prior military (enlisted)
- Current Federal employee
- I am finishing up a MA degree this month (3.8 GPA)

Message me if you have any other questions. Good luck with your application!

Hello, everyone. I'm joining this discussion a little late in the game but wanted to say hello. I've applied to Merage's and Anderson's FEMBA programs. Had both of my interviews last week, June 21st, and June 23rd respectively.

They said I should get a response within two weeks. One week left now
