Anyone else going to experience weekend?

I'm going, as well. Unfortunately, I have just about no time left to take off and not to mention I have been taking days here and there quite frequently the past few months, so I won't be making it to Chapel Hill until late Friday. I think I'll make it in time for one of the last social events of the evening.

Hi all,

I'm interviewing with them next week and would really appreciate it if anyone is willing to offer me some tips. Since Kenan-Flagler actually interviews almost every applicant, how I could make a stronger case when walking into the interview? Thanks!!

- Eason

Hi Eason,
I'd suggest you to prepare your walk-through of resume. I'm sure you must have experienced situations where you demonstrated leadership qualities..just remember to include your take-away/learning from such situations and how it helped/might help you in future while taking decisions.
Apart from it, interviews are quite casual so prepare accordingly. Good luck.. :-D

Yes, definitely looking forward to it. I am quite familiar with the area/town (wife grew up in Chapel Hill and attended UNC undergrad, plus we live in Raleigh), but am excited to meet fellow admits and get better feel for the (potential) class make-up.

Is anyone attending the reception for fellowship recipients Friday at The Crunkleton? It's a great, very "Chapel Hill" bar.

Looking forward to meeting some of you soon!

The reception is one of the reasons I am disappointed I can't get into Chapel Hill until later in the evening. I'd be interested to hear about it after you attend, though.

I will try to arrive early on Friday and attend the reception at Crunkleton.

Hi all, I was wondering when they will release the result for R4? Do we have to wait until April 30? Thanks! - Eason

Yes, KF releases most of the results on the suggested result date.
Occasionally you can find a few results which might come in the preceding week but I would suggest not to count on it.

Also, not that it matters much, but my last updated date was the following:

Last Updated Date: 4/25/2012 10:11:00 AM

They must have either made decisions or are very close.

Have others noticed a change as well?
