I just got my interview invite today. I tried to schedule an on campus interview in the website but there seems to be something wrong because no dates are available. Does anybody else have the same problem?

Call or email the school. Their site leaves a lot to be desired.

I'm not an alum, but I'd suggest interviewing on-campus anytime you can. Although interviewing on-campus can help demonstrate your interest in the school, the true value comes from having a more predictable interview. From my experience, the alumni interview is more convenient, but it can also backfire if you get matched with the wrong alum.

For what it's worth, I interviewed with an alum, and he brought a printed page of questions the school wanted him to ask. He asked a few, but once he realized I was really prepared for them he quit and we spent the next 30 minutes chatting about B-School life in general. I think that tendency to veer off track is why people are concerned about alum interviews.

An added bonus with interviewing on campus is that it demonstrates a little more commitment to the school. It's a lot harder to fly to Austin than have coffee with an alum.

totally agree...the same thing happened when I was interviewed for Booth school by an alum. He told me before hand that he wanted to make this quick and would only ask 3-4 ques max....the whole time he was quite unresponsive to my answers and said nothing much except "uh-hum" and "great".... what a pathetic interview.!! basically some of them are just not that much committed to the whole process and in the end the candidate looses.... :(

I would definitely recommend an on-campus interview. Based on my experience, the interview was very straight forward (printed off question sheet) and the student's enthusiasm for the program helped me to relax.

I also agree that the school values the effort it takes to visit campus and participate in a class visit or tour. The more opportunities to make a positive impression on students/adcoms the better. Plus, who wouldn't want to spend a couple days in Austin??

It's not really a question of not wanting to visit Austin, but just the value proposition. I'm a Consultant and it would be very tough to take a day off given my current project. I could probably push and get one if I thought it would make a significant difference in the outcome, but if the advantages were limited, I would opt for the off campus.

if its just the question of taking a day off, then you should coz it would be really beneficial to do it on campus....for people like me who live in far off countries like india, etc, there really is no option except off campus...

The off-campus interview is just a bigger gamble. You could end up having an awesome off-campus interview or you could end up regretting it - I've had both experiences. I'd recommend that you make a reasonable assessment of your situation and go with what you think is an acceptable amount of risk.

Have you visited the campus prior to the interview invitation? If not, an on-campus interview is probably worth the extra consideration.

Hello all! First time user. Quick question - has anyone received an interview request that applied around Nov. 10th? I understand they say to wait 10-12 weeks, but it looks as though many of you have already received your invites (did you apply before Nov. 1st?)... Thanks.

I'm in for "Round 2." I've submitted my transcripts, GMAT, and application. Now I just need to pay the fee. Was it about 5 days before the invoice showed up for the rest of you?

Hmm... maybe they have a backlog of people who submitted while the office was closed for the holidays?

My vote would be for calling them if you don't get the invoice in a couple days.
