Hi KLC and jschwar1 ,

Congrats to both of you.

Could you please share your profile?

Thanks!

I went to a top 50 state university. Worked one year in a F500 LDP. Spent the next 4 years in two different boutique/small public-sector consulting firms and promoted in each company. Working in a small company and in small teams, there were many opportunities to demonstrate impact and value for the client.

I submitted my application on 9/21 and all the indicators have been green since 9/29.

Hi guys,

Two items FYI:

1. I received an email from Tepper today notifying of two different scholarships available to Round 1 applicants. Each requires an essay to be submitted by Oct. 19th.

2. Just got an email from Tepper saying my application was complete and will be reviewed by the admissions team. I had received an interview invite a day after submission.

Is this consistent with what all of you guys are seeing as well?

I got the scholarship email today and the application complete email on Sept 29th which was about two weeks after I submitted. So I believe these are sent to everyone.

I got the scholorship email today. I also got a call from Tepper team to attend the diversity weekend at their campus. But I was notified that my application is incomplete on Oct 6th as they needed backside of transcripts to be uploaded into the system. I have uploaded the required items right away but still the application is in awaiting status and I have not received the application complete email yet.
Do I need to take any additional steps?? Please suggest .

Thanks

I would just call admissions!! I'm sure they handle this sort of thing all the time and the odds of u talking to someone who'll be involved in ur decision seem pretty slim (not that it would be a bad impression anyway, it's not big deal)

We are in the same boat. The same happened to me. I uploaded the required document right away but I am yet to see an update on their system. I guess this is normal considering the amount of applications thats coming in. Anyways keep us posted if you have already mailed the admissions team

My documents are also not yet green, however I've already done with my interview, so I think that it's not a big deal. On the status page you might see that it takes 3-4 weeks before the red crosses become green.

Even I got a mail today from Dana Lovas telling me to upload or send across a grading methodology that my post grad institute used. The problem is my Post Grad institute just gives a % and no grades or even a grading scale for that matter. I have taken a letter from the head of the institute stating this. But still facing the same issue from CMU. Guys any idea how i go about this ?

I think for LGBT applicants or at least for those people who actively contributes to LGBT community and to its positive awareness.

I agree. It's only for LGBT candidates and you need to justify alot to prove them that you did create awareness.

Guys and what do you think about entrepreneurship fellowship? I mean I plan to write this essay since my goals are entrepreneurial and my concentration during study at Tepper if admitted will be entrepreneurship.

However I couldn't understand fully what do "entrepreneurial interests" mean? My ideas? Why did I chose this path? Or industries? And the last bullet point about contribution to the evolution of entrepreneurial ecosystem. Where to find information regarding that?
