Hi Guys, I had mine on Tuesday. Very standard questions.

- Why MBA/why now
- Why Marshall
- What is your biggest challenge at ur current position?
- what 3 words would people use to describe you

There were sub questions for each of these as the convo developed but I don't quite remember. definitely be yourself, interviewing with adcom, they can really tell when you are not yourself. definitely have some good school questions ready

Has anyone that has already been accepted into the MBA.PM program received their info packet yet??

Just got interview invite.

Have any waitlisted candidates got any updates? Any idea when we will hear from them? I didn't get a concrete answer when I mailed them. Their response - "We can admit students up to 2 days before the orientation"

All the best to to people who are going to interview!

Any R2 applicants from Orange county got an interview invite?

Alright, USC decided to pleasantly surprise me. I had given up on USC after put on wait list and was gearing up to go to Georgetown. I hadn't checked the application page of USC. I got the admission packet delivered to home yesterday.

I got admit with 50% fellowship.

Now wondering whether to head to DC or LA. Pour in your thought guys!

Congratulations! So there is hope for people on the waitlist and 50% tuition waiver! Great!

Even I have been waitlisted. Please share how you were successful in converting from the waitlist. Any additional docs?

Congratulations! Were you put on wait list with or without an interview?

Thanks! I was put on wait list after interview. Though my interview could have been better, I was surprised when I was put on wait list. Glad I could convert!
Actually no additional docs. I sent a mail with few updates on my recent achievements since interview (I had received bonus at work, and was elected as secretary to a club). I had to make decision on Georgetown by March 1st. So I had told them it would be great if I can receive decision before that and they had obliged. I also asked whether I could send additional recommendation and they had said yes. But before that they had made their decision. My additional recommendation was mailed on 25th Feb, the decision date was 24th Feb. I received admission packet on 28th Feb.

OMG, congrats!!! Amazing story!

Sanebr would you mind posting your academic stats? I'm interested to know what the threshold is for students that receive fellowships.
