Calling All AGSM 2014 Applicants

Hi Everyone
Got an interview invite for 1st July . Looks like this year the interviews got delayed by one weeks time.

Shailaja, Please do let us know - how ur interview went.

Hi Shailaja/Grey wine,

Good to see some applicants for Jan'14 intake. Congratulations on securing an interview, and wish you the very best in your prep.

Any idea as to who is conducting your interview, is it Jonathan Jones, the Operation and Recruitment Director?

Thanks
RP

@Greywine
My Interview was fairly good and my interviewer was Mark Stewart I think he is the MBA advisory head or something. He is very comforting.

I was asked general questions such as:
1) why MBA
2) why agsm
3)Current job profile
4)extra currecs

I could answer all with much confidence and vigor. Fumbled in one question i guess. Hoping for best and praying all goes well.

All the best Greywine and Arun

I am pretty new to GMATCLUB but have been following this forum for years. I applied for AGSM MBA 2014 R1 and had an interview on Jun 24th. Today I got an unofficial confirmation of successful candidature. Email confirmed that official details will follow soon. I am really glad with the offer. I would like to meet others in this forum and would like to share with my experience that include PR. Thanks!

My interview was with Prof.Mark Stewart. It was general questions :
1> My current Role
2> Why MBA
3> Why from AGSM
4> You know anything about Sydney?

At last he asked if I have some queries regarding the course or AGSM. It went as usual. In total interview went for 20 minutes. My interview was on Skype and later switched to Audio because of connectivity issues

Congrats Gssumesh & Shailaja !!! Can you please share your profiles and GMAT score if you do not mind !!!! I am planning to apply for R2...Can you give me some tips on essays as well !!! I am totally confused....

Hello

I also finally got interviewed yesterday on 1st July. My interviewer was Mr Jonathan Jones. He is the Director, MBA Student Recruitment. Very nice and easygoing guy. Interview went on for 25-30 minutes. We had discussion on following topics:
- My current job profile
- Why MBA at this stage
- Why from AGSM
- My Future goals and any target companies.

It was a smooth affair and now I am waiting for the their final decision. Looks like I was one of the last to get interviewed. He mentioned that in enxt twor -three days they will finalize the first round list.
Please let me know if anyone else received any formal call for admission ?

Regards

Hi Guys

Looks like we are getting to know a few candidates who got unofficial offer from AGSM. Congrats to Anju, GsSumesh, Shailaja, Mohit....

I also received an unofficial offer this morning. I am really happy and planning to accept the offer.
Btw my profile is :

WE: 8+ years , Team lead in a Leading Storage IT firm, from Bangalore
GMAT : 710
Acads: B Tech Comp Sc

I think all the people who are getting the offer, we should start maintaining an Excel sheet so that we can start keeping in touch. Later on other round successful students can join us .

Greywine

Did anybody else get the offer and wish to join AGSM?

Hello All,

Congratulations to all who have made it so far and all the very best to people who plan to apply for R2.

I was also interviewed on 3rd July and received an informal acceptance email from AGSM. Seems like most of us are from IT background. Good to see the average experience coming out from the selected bunch. I am also working as a tech Manager in a Digital Marketing Agency at their Gurgaon office with 11 years experience.

Looking forward to connecting more with you all.

Cheers

Has anyone received the official offer letter and other acceptance details from AGSM yet??
Its about time now and I was wondering if anyone has already heard from them.
Kindly keep me updated on this front.
