Calling all Carroll (Boston) Applicants: (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!!

Thanks!!

Here's my 2 cents:

They said that after a preliminary review of my application they wanted to learn more about me. However, further review of the application will be held.

There were lots of slots available to schedule an interview (but you could only schedule it for this week or the next), which makes me think that not many invites have been sent yet.

The round 1 deadline is on November 1st...

For all these reasons, even though you submitted your application almost 1 month ago, I would still wait a little longer (at least until the deadline). Just make sure all your materials have been received and your application is under review (check on the Web portal).

Maybe some current students have a different opinion or a better insight on the process and can join in

Hope it helps!

Thanks for replying Kheown, I guess I will wait but yes my application status has been under review for a long time now and that is kinda worrying for me.

Congratulations kheown!!!
I'm still waiting for my invitation. Could you pls share your interview quiz with us after completing?
Good luck to you!!!

Of course! I scheduled the interview for the 30th so I'll share the questions and experience over spooky weekend

Good luck and hope you get an invite soon!

Hello ThisSideofParadise and erahn1

Do you know if interviews are blind (do interviewers only have your resume)? Or do they have all your application materials?

Thank you!
kheown

I believe they are blind. My interview was with a second-year student.

Leadership story
Professional drawback
Story about conflict in a team or a disagreement
Tell me about a time when your team faced an obstacle or something went wrong and what you did to solve the situation
The most important feedback youve received professionally
....

... on top of the usual ones, of course

Walk me through your resume
Why MBA
ST & LT goals
Why BC
What questions o you have for me

And then a couple that I found interesting

What clubs would you join at BC (I also found this one in last years thread)
Why do you go to work every day? What excites you about your job and industry?

Hope it helps!! Good luck with your interviews!
Best regards,
kheown

Good luck everyone!
