Are there any folks here who haven't received a decision yet? I interviewed a couple of days ago but my status update is still "invited to interview" online.

Congrats to those who got in!

Hi all,

I just finished my interview couple of days back. Thought of posting my experience while it's still fresh in my mind. I am R2 applicant for EWMBA. It was a a casual conversation. The questions were pretty basic, and on expected lines:

- Walk me through your resume
- What is your leadership style?
- What I do in my free time?
- What would your manager and colleague say your strengths and weakness are?
- Long term short term plan

It was just 30 mins and believe me time just flies by.
(I think) It went pretty good. Now the wait begins !!

My advice to fellow applicants for their i/v would be:
1 Try to give examples as much as possible to support whatever you say.
2 Just relax.


- MM

Back to routine :drunk :drunk

I'm applying in Rd 3 and should be done in a few days.

I'm struggling a bit with short answer no 3 : the innovation and creativity one.
I have 3 incidents written down but I'm unable to decide if they're 'creative and innvoative' enough.

To all those who have applied ..What kind of stories have you guys used for this essay?

Ding w/o Interview. Please add to Roll Call.

It must have had something to do with that dashing 8x10 glossy of me in a tux giving the pointing thumbs-up, which I signed "to my biggest fan" in gold glitter ink and sent them.

Haas has been really selective this year. I'm guessing application numbers are way up. Also expecting the selectivity percentage to less than 10% from the 12% it is currently.

I guess just being on the Waitlist is good news. Good luck to R2-ers.

anyone updating the stats on the front page? I wonder what the admit percentage on GMATClub is...

I think last year was the best year?

Congrats to all the admits! And good luck on the waitlisters.

Hey kryak, what was your reason for choosing Haas over Kellogg?

Search for "Battle Royale 2" and you should get the reasoning. :-) It's so comprehensive that Haas is considering turning his analysis into a case study for their Prioritization class.

LOL! What topa said. :P

Hey kryzak,

I finally finished reading through the Battle Royal 2 thread. Great discussion by the way.
I currently am in a very similar state, with similar goals and school combinations (but waitlisted in Haas)
What do you thing of your decision to attend Haas so far and what kind of activities are you taking part in? Very eager to hear your assessment at this point.

Does anyone know if your status changes from "Under Review" to something else when you get invited to an interview?

Thanks!
