Hey friends, Tepper has announced its 2017 Application dates along with the essays. Deadlines: Round 1 : Oct 4, 2017 Round 2 : Jan 4. 2018 Round 3 : March 9, 2018 Decision Release Round 1 : Dec 13, 2017 Round 2 : March 14. 2018 Round 3 : May 9, 2018 REQUIRED ESSAY Tell us about yourself! There are no right or wrong answers. Be authentic and tell us what we won’t learn about you in the rest of your application. Imagine that you meet up with a member of the admission committee at an airport while on a layover. You have an opportunity to make a memorable impression. Use this essay to introduce yourself. Include any information that you believe is important for the committee member to know about you, both professionally and personally. Only one essay is required. Requirements: 300-350 words maximum, 12-point font, double-spaced OPTIONAL ESSAY There also is an optional essay for additional information about your candidacy that you may wish to share with the admissions committee. Use this essay to convey important information that you may not have otherwise been able to convey. This may include unexplained resume gaps, context for recommender selection, etc. If you are a re-applicant, explain how your candidacy has strengthened since your last application. Let's start the discussion and get into Tepper this year.

Got the call earlier today from my interviewer as well. Super pumped since CMU was my top choice. She mentioned that we would receive an official letter sent out by EOD, along with login information to the portal with information about next steps, scholarships, etc. I stopped processing after about a minute since I was so excited to receive the call. Good luck to all of those still waiting!

Is there a chat set up for Tepper decisions? I need people to be nervous with so my coworkers stop looking at me funny!

It is surprising that there is no decision update from Indian candidates yet. It is already 9PM here. I am wondering when they will call Indians.
