Congrats! I received my ad+PA letter the same day. Already paid the deposit. Hope to see you in Wisconsin!

Hi Wisconsin applicants! FYI if you're applying to UW through the Consortium Graduate Study in Management (CGSM), hop over to the Consortium 2012 Forum and Update Your Profile to join the Consortium roll call.

It's simple. Just select your school as "Consortium, the", then indicate which specific institution(s) you'll be applying to, make sure your application cycle is 2011-2012 and the Consortium round (CGSM1 or CGSM2) you be applied in. You can do all of this easily through the handy 'Add to Your Schools' link on the front page of the Consortium 2012 Forum.

We have a special analytics specifically for those candidates applying via Consortium and lots of conversation specific to Consortium candidates and the school(s) they are applying to.

Come and join the conversation! Cheers!

I finished and submitted my application to The Grainger Center last week for the 2nd round. I am very impressed with the Wisconsin School of Business and hope to be admitted!

Admitted and committed for R2! Packing my bags! (not quite yet, but can't wait) Looking forward to seeing the UW MBA Class of 2014 in August!

I attended the Prospective Preview Day last Friday on campus. There was a slightly different schedule for ASAP applicants (which I applied for in R2) and I came away thoroughly impressed with everything about the program. People seem genuinely happy at Wisconsin and after visiting it's not difficult to see why. Hopefully I get to join all of you who are heading there next fall! Good luck to everyone.

If anyone has any specific questions about the visit just let me know, I'm happy to answer!

Hi nsspaz151,

Which program did you apply to?

@Others
Has anybody received interview invites for the SHRM course?

prerna20 - I applied to the Supply Chain Management program.

"People seem genuinely happy at Wisconsin and after visiting it's not difficult to see why." - I agree. Even after a beer or two at the reception (November's Preview), all of the current MBA students I spoke with were 100% happy with their decision to attend.

I just got my interview invite a couple of minutes ago ...I applied for the Real Estate program. My interviewer is going to be the Head of the program.

My impression of the admissions folks at Madison is that they are very concerned with a proper fit. They seem to bring in just over 100 students each year and highly stress that they are looking for a certain type of person, not just a GMAT score, GPA, nice resume, big title, etc. If you have been invited to interview I would encourage you to decide if Wisconsin is a good fit for you and why.

hi when were u interviewed how long was the interview
_________________

It lasted for about 55 minutes, it was very conversational but I guess that depends on which center you are applying to and the interviewer. I applied to the RE Center. Good luck to you!!

Any admits going to the "On Wisconsin" (New Admit) Weekend event in April?

so round 2 decisions were supposed to be released by today according to the wisconsin website...I still havent heard anything back. any other round 2 applicants in the same boat as I am?

also, I noticed that the adcom director erin nickelsburg is no longer on the website...is this just a coincidence?

I feel like I'm out of the loop here....can anyone fill me in??

I'm also a round 2 applicant. I have not received any info either. When I log on to my application it has a link that says decision available. However, when I click on it it takes me to a blank page and says internal system error. I have not received an e-mail notifying me of any status change either.

Will they still care about the fit , if wisconsin is not able to place him in a job and it affects the statistics.

I am getting the "Internal System Error" message, as well. And yes, the previous Dir. of Admissions is no longer there. I emailed her a few weeks back and received an automated response saying to contact the assistant dir. with all questions. I have emailed tech support, the general mba info address, and the assistant director, but no response yet regarding the decision issue.

I know it differs from specialization. What specialization are those who are having these similar issues? I am an Arts Administration candidate. Crossing my fingers to find out soon! The anticipation is killing me! I suppose not knowing is better than a rejection, as long as not knowing doesn't mean a rejection!

good luck to all.
