I am in! And I loved the animation.
But right now I am confused about the financial assistance. If there is any Indian applicant out there who got accepted please PM me. It will be really great if I could get some pointers as to how to go about it.

After triple-checking all the privacy settings and that the group wouldn't appear on my profile, I joined the FB group as well. See you there!

Congrats to all the admits again..and good luck to the WLs...

mv2010, to answer your question, the admits are mailed the admission packets soonafter the decisions. I had infact got a mail from Tepper asking me to inform them of any change in address so they could send the shipment through. You do not need to pay the initial deposit to get the admission packet for sure!

Tepper will be sending you loadsa info and links soon...like login for admitted students which probably has the link for the countdown, the fb group link, u might also be assigned a student mentor etc...

You are supposed to schedule interview via e-mail. Your interview invite e-mail should contain information regarding scheduling interview.

Thanks alpeshvc. I was a bit confused because the invitation states "Please specify which type of interview you would like to have when responding to this email." And right at the beginning of the next para it says "To make arrangements for your interview, please call Carol..." I think I'll shoot them an email then.

I just called Carol to set up my on campus interview. I don't think it matters one way or another.

International applicants already in US (especially from India) :

Do any of you have to do a visa status change. If so what are you planning. To get a change of status or get it stamped by going back?

No. It's not for waitlisted only. It's for all prospective students. But I think anybody interested in Tepper MBA program can get in and ask questions. I got it from the Upcoming Events on the school's website.
