Even I have the same problem with my application status showing 'Incomplete'. I mailed Ad Com about it. They said they'd look into it and get back to me. Meanwhile, they confirmed that my application will be considered for R2. I have an interview invite, so All is Well I guess...

Hi,
Have any of chosen Skype as the interview medium? (International applicants) If so, is it just an audio interview or do we have an option of video chat as well?

Thanks!

I believe it's gonna be a video call, but instead of using skype for the audio they might call us over the phone. Perhaps we need to clarify that with the adcom.

So If my understanding is right, Tepper notifies all of its applicants regarding the admissions on the same day - Mar 14 for R2? So even if 1 were to interview on Jan 10 he/ she will not be intimated until Mar 14?

That's correct. All decisions are released on the published decision day of that round.

Hi Guys,
I interviewed on campus today with Devin Bownes. Very conversational interview. No grilling!
1. Careeer and education
2. Why MBA?
3. What after MBA
4. Leadership Style
5. Team conflict situation
6. Strengths and weaknesses
7. Contribution to Tepper
8. Why Tepper
9. Interests outside of work.

Did the whole campus visit thing too. I fell in love with Pittsburgh, can see myself living there

., was even contemplating the neighbourhood I would live in. I loved the small class size and a lot of other things about Tepper. Well, fingers crossed now!

All the best to ppl interviewing and those waiting. Btw, check up on the weather report before heading into Pittsburgh.

This is why they insist you visit, the place makes a strong impression... I'm really looking forward to being back, and the weather for Sunday looks OK!

I hadn't looked at my application page since getting the interview (and at that point it wasn't even updated), but now it says:

Stage 2: Application Complete Pending Interview

but below, under Application Status, it does say incomplete.

My guess is that it only becomes complete after the interview.

Hey,
Isn't it mean that your application is complete and is being reviewed by admission committee?

Others, please let me know if "Stage 3: under review by admissions committee" means ding w/o interview.

Thanks much.

submission status: "All application documents have been received."
Application status "Incomplete"

Interpretation of the above as sent by Tepper Adcom

"All documents have been received for your application. Your status will continue to show incomplete until the committee has finalized the review of your application"

Just received an interview invite. (Indian applicant) This will be my first interview request. Trigger happy.

Anyway, my status reads -

"Submission Status: Submitted
Submitted Date: 1/3/2011 10:10:00 AM EST
Stage 2: Application Complete pending Interview"

It is a telephone / skype request. I was really looking forward for face-to-face interview in India. Any other Indian have received Alumni i/v request ?
