How did the interviews go? :)

Posted from my mobile device


Completed my interview on 5 August.
Spoke to one of the admission committee, really straightforward, only took 30 min.
They just want to know if I have a backup plan, if my plan is feasible or not. (Cause I am a re-applicant to J-term)

To be honest, I don't know whether the interview went well or not, because, as I said, the interview was quite straight forward. They seemed like want to address the risk area in my application and to understand if my career goal is achievable.

...Anxiously waiting for the final decision, it would be so much appreciated if anyone could give me some advise. : )

I did mine on 7 Aug. Yeah, it was surprisingly short and to the point.

Fingers crossed! Longest 14 days ever!

[quote="Jinglebells"]Congrats to all who've received interview invites!

I was rejected for the 2 year FT program but was encouraged to reapply for the J Term program. Does this mean that I have good odds of being admitted if I were to reapply for the J Term? I got shot down once with what I thought was a fairly good applic


It's really hard to predict the success of an application since a number of factors play a part however, if the university has specifically encouraged you to apply to J term, I'd evaluate the option inspite of the risks if I were you :)

Hi guys congrats on the invite and the admit to CBS.

PLEASE be mindful of the school's way of encouraging you to apply. Sometimes schools say that you can apply in J-term or next year, and truth be told, the FT is much more competitive. But still a self analysis and checking the fit using historical stats is equally essential.

You may be fortunate to get in with low stats. However, to increase your odds, I'd still say that you need a change in your statistics upon rejection.

That said, if you need more help. You can contact me. I'm willing to help people for free.
You can take a review of how I advice from GMATASSASIN770
