does anyone know what the process is once you've completed your interview. does the interviewer submit a written or on-line form? thx.

I believe they do it via online form. When you get an interview invite, once you've set up your interview via email with an alum, you have to enter it in the system with the date & time, which sends the interviewer an email to a link to the feedback form.

got it thanks. i just had my interview this week and i noticed my interviewer had a printed out sheet of questions that he was filling out. my status still shows interviewed scheduled so i was wondering if it took a couple days to mail in. i guess he just hasn't gotten around to doing it online.

i completed my interview earlier today. it was a very cordial, 40 min. conversation at a local cafe near the alum's place of business. i don't have too much more to add, as the questions posted earlier in this thread covered pretty much our entire conversation. i left feeling good about the interview; hopefully this translates into an admit (staying positive!)

Wow ..congrats Kohlia! Are you Indian too or just working in India?

I submitted mine very late .. 26/01.
I got a notification the very next day "Your application is being printed and prepared for review."

Fingers crossed.

Pls add me to the roll call.

Hey guys, I need an opinion on the ethical dilemma question.

I've been out of school for 4 years, but the best response I have to the ethical dilemma question is something related to catching someone cheating in college (where we had a strict honor code) and having to figure out what to do about it when a professor asked me point-blank what happened (and it was a violation to lie).

Do you think I should try to find an example from my professional life that is applicable since I'm not that recent of a grad, even if it's not as compelling a story? Or should I stick with the best story?

I have an interview advisor who I asked about this question, and they thought a college cheating story was acceptable for me, and I am > 8 years out of school. Hope that helps.

hey. applied 1/6 early in the AM, received notification to interview 1/28. My interview is scheduled for the 9th. Tried to do it this week, but i'm traveling for work starting Wednesday and it didn't work out.

Re: order, my gmat was 690...so that probably has nothing to do with when they got to my app given the quick turnaround.

Congratulations! Hopefully we all have as fast a turnaround (and as happy an outcome) as you!!

Did you find out via email or did CBS call you?

So the person I am interviewing with is between 65-70 years old, a fairly stark contrast to the 2nd years I have primary interviewed with. Any recommendations on how I should approach this? Has anyone had an older interviewer?

On thurs (02/04), it will be 3 weeks since I had my interview. Still I haven't gotten a final decision. Several folks have reported that they got accepted within a shorter turn-around period. I'm beginning to wonder why mine is taking much longer. Perhaps, they are still deliberating on my candidacy and others' with similar background!! The wait is torturous to say the least.

I submitted my app around noon EST on 1/6. I still haven't received an interview invite. Is it too soon to assume I've been dinged?

I'm sure you're a strong candidate, hence why you haven't been dinged yet.

My pure assumption is that they are comparing you against a few more candidates before they let you in.

The wait does suck. Good luck.
