I was recently interviewed by Associate Director - Emily and at the end of the interview she mentioned that Tepper is in the early stages of interview process wrt R2 and it’s going to be a long wait for me. I guess this is an indication that majority of the interviews are still not yet rolled out. So I’d still keep my hopes high as an Indian applicant. Having said that, I noticed that two of my colleagues who also applied in R1 were denied without an interview and they both have a common characteristic of 710 gmat.

Thanks mate!
Hopefully we'll meet in Pittsburgh then

Hi peoples,

All the best for the interviews everybody. For the people who did not get an interview there is no need to fret over I think. I am seeing a lot of Tepper MBA2’s still searching for a job. So it is probably not as good as what people are thinking it to be.

So a question to everybody concerned. Are anybody not from Tech/Operations applying..?

If there is anybody planning for a life in Operations post MBA can you please PM me....

Thanks,

Hi Everyone
A bit late to the forum but just wanted to let you guys know that i was part of the first wave in round 2.
Submitted late on 5th Jan, got the invite to interview about a day after. Just finished my online interview as well. Interviews all seem to be blind interviews but do prepare for full application interviews as well.
Seemed mostly behavioral as some of you have already mentioned on the thread. The previous years threads have the questions that were asked.
There were a couple of questions asked about the interview slot being late in the night,etc. Mine was quite late as it was one of the last online slots that were available. But the adcom members do realise that and are very helpful if you do want to change. I personally didnt since i am a night person, but the adcom member was apologetic about the lateness of the interview.
Also do prepare for your interviews especially the last few minutes wherein they expect you to ask questions. The better you answer their questions the longer you will have to question them. Ending an interview with anything over a couple of minutes to spare is put simply a waste of time that could be spent interesting the adcom about brand YOU.

If it helps this is my profile
Country: India
GMAT:740(Q 51, V 38), GRE 332(Q 168, V 164),
WE: 5 Yrs, Industry: Manufacturing(Operations) + Finance(Risk)

PS: If there are any questions please dont hesitate. I shall try to reply asap.

When can we expect the next wave of interview invites? If any?

Anyone have any tips/insight/info for this years interview?

I had my interview with Mr John Ivy, and I must say irrespective of the outcome, it was an enjoyable experience. Most of the questions were behavioral in nature and focused beyond the generic ones that would require brief outline about myself. It would be great to know your work in and out, and have the ability to explain it to a layman.
Also, the interview lasted about 30 mins.

Hi all,
Just a small query to international students, who were admitted in the first Round, and have also accepted the offer. Has any of you received the I20 form (that is required for the purpose of Visa) ?

Is there anyone who still hasn't had his or her documents verified?

I've also been interviewed by my documents are still not verified yet!
Was wondering if I should just shoot a mail to the adcom about this or wait it out.

Yeah, my TOEFL Report wasn't showing as verified, though they had received it from ETS. I called them some time back and they cleared it.

Great.
Thanks for the information mate!
Much appreciated!

Anyone receive any information?

Hello everyone,

This is my first post in the forum. So I apologize if I do any errors beforehand

I've recieved an e-mail update from Tepper on 01/31/2020 stating that my application is complete and sent to admissions committee for review. My question is whether the committee sends the decisions on a rolling basis or they send it on the deadline day which is 03/05/2020. Since I got an acceptance from another school I don't want to risk my admission to an MBA program next year, and my deadline for BC is until 02/12/2020.

Tepper releases all decisions on the deadline day. You might ask BC for an extension, but I wouldn’t ask Tepper for an early decision. That’s asking for special treatment in regards to a common occurrence for most applicants in the MBA process - it won’t reflect well on you and they’ll likely tell you to either withdraw your application or wait until the deadline. It’s annoying, but you might have to bite the bullet and put the deposit down at BC. You could lose it if you decide to go elsewhere, but that’s part of this process.

I'm no expert but I agree with the above post. If you can't find the answer online, perhaps shoot an email to Tepper admissions inquiring whether they release decisions on a rolling basis or not, but definitely don't ask them for an early decision. You are more likely to receive an extension from BC than an early decision from Tepper. And if you don't get an extension, put the deposit down.

Interview tomorrow morning, any last minute tips from those with experience ? I appreciate the help from jayantk94 previously
