I had a little phone interview with Tepper today...they said I should get my decision by the 20th

wow you applying as many as me . This is good news. hope we get in

applying R2 add me to the roll call, although after reading this thread...there doesn't seem to be a roll call?

Hi guys, To redirect my frustration of waiting, I complied a much-anticipated rolls call. Does anyone know how to append info to the first page of this thread? I tried to "reply" to the first post of this thread, but it seems to get attached to the last page of the thread. I know that I am digging my own grave when I cross over my name as dinged on Dec 20th..but hope that the list helps others to gain some informative insight into Tepper admissions trends. My apologies and please let me know if you find misinformation and missing names in the list. I did not add a name unless there was a specific mention about applying to a specific round. Here we go: Round 1 (October 25th, decision release December 20) Snottgoblin Pediasure Class2012 Ludacrispat26 (interviewed) Jordanhendrix (interviewed) Almostfamous (interviewed) Shaselai (interview invited) Spartan2011 730i avbhagav petervella (interviewed) risin1phoenix (interviewed) kalyanfires nets (interviewed) inclinedplatform (interviewed) iZaku (interviewed) kushagra452 akshayram86 (interviewed) harpua357 (self-initiated interview) anillovesu wonder12 seemak rangerp (interviewed) kc1907 chichipucca priyank1201 acer2knight amb2512 (interviewed) randompattern (interviewed) adimaniac kegewe (interviewed) Round 2 (January 3rd, decision release March 14) Shekharvineet MatGMAT7 Vixer Fbardolph Cmv Amr090 Round 3 (March 7th, decision release April 29th) Round 4 (April 25th, decision release May 27)

Almostfamous, I was invited too. And I'm w/ you when my name is crossed over on 20th... I have a really bad feeling about my interview cuz my interviewer wrote back to me after my "thank you" note! That is just odd!

It may not be a bad sign that the interviewer wrote back to you; more dependent on what they said. I think Tepper adcomm really has a personal touch with regard to the admissions process and admission's staff.

its probably just common courteousy to write back...wouldnt you feel worse if they flat out "ignored" your note?

Done. Spreadsheet can be edited by anyone.

Hey, one question The Tepper essays state - Please clearly specify which questions you are answering. Do we need to mention I am answering question No 1 or not necessary.
