Hi Prashant,

I have scheduled an interview with Alum on the same day. I guess we will be interviewed by similar Alum.

This is my second interview invite after CMU Tepper. I have my Tepper i/v tonight. Will start preparing for UNC from tomorrow.

Hey AlpeshVc,

Is the alum Sunil Parikh. Because he is the only alum in Mumbai. How can he interview two candidates on the same day :? .

Anyways looks like he has a lot of time.

Best of luck for the interview. keep me posted.

Yes. Mr. Sunil.

One interview should take one hour at max. So I don't think two interviews is going to be a problem. In fact, there could be more interviews scheduled on the same date.

I am from Pune. You?

R3 applicant at UNC. Love the school!!

Just a small query though. I gave an on campus interview and it went exceptionally well...The interviewer kept on telling "atta girl" and gave me very very positive feedback that it was too good to believe..Does it mean that i have more chances of getting admitted? Does the interview hold additional weight?

The wait is killing me and any response will be much appreciated!!


I think that interveiw is the most important part of the process. A good interview can certainly give you advantage over your compitition. But if other parts of application are not very good then even the most amazing interview cannot save you.


Thank you talwarmeister. I am an Indian/female/25 GMAT 650..I wouldnt say my GPA is stellar as well but my essays and recommendations are really good. My career goals are very different form the usual Indian applicants. So lets wait and see..UNC is currently my top school.

Check my signature link for detailed profile.

I am more interested in product development / mgmt. consultancy (tech.). Don't have much idea about finance side of KF. Study it's placement statistics and you shall have rough idea.

Did anyone else in R3 who has interviewed receive an email with the subject "An Invitation to Apply to be Considered for the Dean's Fellows Program at UNC Kenan-Flagler" ?

The first sentence is intriguing and is making my mind race about acceptance possibilities... "Congratulations on receiving an MBA fellowship to UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School."

I wasn't aware that I had received a fellowship at all. I haven't been accepted yet. Wanted to pose a question to the group to see if anyone else had received the same message and if it could be a mistake that I'm reading too much into.

I did not receive an email like that. I believe it is a very positive sign. Fellowship candidates are hand picked if I remember correctly. Congrats!

I received the same email. I'm assuming its a mistake since they've had quite a few this year with the implementation of a new system

Hopefully it's not a mistake. Thanks for replying.

I may reach out to them this afternoon to inquire if there isn't some sort of retraction sent.

It's also interesting because the website states that there is no additional application for the Dean's Fellows program which evidently is no longer true.

Kenan-Flagler admissions is on fire this year! Let's hope (for the prospective and current students) that their career management center is doing a better job!

I have not received an admissions decision either, and also called. I left a message with the woman who sent me the email. Please post if you hear back. I will do the same.
