I guess I am the only one applying :) Full tuition for me yay!!!! Just kidding.

I submitted my application on the Dec. 23. For the optional essay I chose to do the video. It was actually a lot of fun to do, and if done right it is easy to show what kind of person you are to admissions without using only words.

Was invited to interview via skype on 1/12/2015. Interview is scheduled for 1/14/2015.

Hey, how is the interview? what kind of questions?

Interview went well. Very straight forward. Goals and Experience. Asked what business with humanity means to me.

Video submission round? I don't recall anything like that. There is an option for the optional essay to do a 5 minute video if that's what you are talking about. It looks like a lot of people are doing "interview" like videos for the video essay option, talking about their career and goals. If you ask me it is kind of a waste and very redundant to do that. The prompt is so open, so identify a strength you have that hasn't been addressed in the application and make a creative video. The admissions committee already has your resume, and main essay which talks about experiences and goals, so there is no reason in my opinion to make a video where you basically narrate your resume. That's for the interview. Since there wasn't a section on the application to really talk about extracirriculars, I decided to focus my video on a personal passion, why I am passionate about it, how it applies to business, and what it can bring to the school. Here is a link to the video that I submitted with my GMBA application:

Not sure about the Video Submission round either.

I was accepted to the Dual Degree MBA/MA in Design Leadership for Round 1. I submitted Oct 31st, then had a phone interview November 14th, then received a call from Carey Admissions on December 14th.

Thanks.

They called and accepted me on 12/14, but had yet to divide up scholarships. Since it is between two schools, Carey and MICA, they both need to meet about scholarship money. They informed me that they had a meeting this week and I should be hearing back within the next couple weeks.

I will be accepting, unless by some miracle I get into Kellogg's MMM program.

Congrats man! That's awesome!

If you don't mind sharing, did they put a deadline date on a decision from you and a date for the deposit?

I received a phone call from the person that interviewed me. He said that he just got a finalized "spreadsheet" and wanted to update me asap! He let me know that they are putting together a packet and it will get emailed to me next week, so I am not sure about deadlines and deposits yet. Hopefully at least a couple of weeks so I have a chance to visit campus. I missed his initial call and he left a voicemail in a kind of somber tone saying that we needed to discuss my application as soon as possible. Most stressful voicemail of my life. I thought he was going to say that some software flagged my essay as plagiarized or that I was waitlisted or something. In any case, I will keep you posted about deadlines I receive.

***Also, this might be a little known fact and I don't know the exact stipulations, but I believe they do offer a "stipend" if you want to visit the school and you're from out of town. Even before I was admitted a guy from admissions let me know they offer something like $300 in reimbursments to come visit campus, something worth pursuing if you havent visited. I'm going to get more details about that soon hopefully.

That's awesome man! I'm sure your heart was racing while you called back. I know mine was. I'm in the same situation, just waiting on the official packet. Very interesting about the stipend, as I was planning on visiting in March. Keep me updated as you get updates, as will I.

Got my official letter of Acceptance today with Scholarship $$. Acceptance and Deposit Deadlines are the same for me on 3/16/2015. Deposit is $3000. Unfortunately I won't hear from Northwestern until March 25th...so I may be asking for an extension. Not sure if they will give it to me or not.

Im sure they can accommodate an extra week, hopefully. $3000 seems kind of steep for a deposit!
