Not sure if this will be helpful or will cause more anxiety....

For those R2 applicants interested in Haas, I received my interview invite today (I ranked them first)...so it seems R2 Haas movement has begun. Invites will probably start trickling out.

Good luck everybody!

There we go... About time. Congrats!! We need somebody to get things going for the home team.
When did you submit your application? Were you invited to a Super Saturday event or to interview with an individual?

Hi All,

I just completed my off-campus Alum interview for Ross. It was very conversational, and almost 30 minutes exactly. We went through all of the typical quesitons- run through resume, why MBA, why Ross, short/long-term goals. He also asked me about a time I failed or dealt with disappointment at work and 3-4 questions about team work. Then we talked a little about the clubs I would be interested in.

I think it went okay. My advice is to definitely know some background about Ross- he asked me a follow up question about the Tauber Institute and I was definitely happy to know about it. Also- I'm sure you all do this- bring a copy of your resume. Hopefully I get in!

For Haas, I'm gonna do an off-campus. I've visited the school before and since I'm an east coaster it is a bit far for me.

Yale just came through with an invite...I had lost hope there. What a day.

I haven't seen anyone else on here state that they received their invite to interview with McCombs, unless I missed it..... if anyone else has, are you having troubling logging on to schedule your interview?

suchdaddy - trying erasing your browser cookies/cache and trying again. I had problems a while back when I scheduled my interview in January and that seemed to help.

Thanks everyone for the help with my McCombs log in. The problem ended up being bigger than I thought. I got an email from mcCombs and they said their server was down an no one could log on and hopefully it will be up tomorrow! That sucks, the server may crash again with all the postponed applicants trying to schedule their interviews all at the same time.

Guys, I have a question. I have never visited McCombs, and I was invited to interview. Do you think I could schedule my interview with an alumni in my city and still be seriously considered for admission???

Yes. It is quite common for applicants to schedule an interview with an alumni in your city.

Texas said that they are sensitive to rankings. They prefer to be 1 or 2 (told us this at diversity weekend) so if you ranked them there it prob won't matter. If you ranked them pretty low, they may consider the fact that you never visited.

Thanks for the input. I ranked them No.4. The problem is that I can't miss so many days at work and the tickets from Miami are crazy expensive. I have visited Cornell and Ross for interviews, and I will travel to UNC at the end of the month. I will make a decision later today.

Congrats srnamargarita,....what a day indeed!! I fantasize of days where i can have multiple invites!

Where did you rank Yale if I may ask? Yeah, i've pretty much written Yale off, I ranked them 5/5. I've received 1 invite only (Ross) at the very beginning of the cyle (Jan.18),...so its been almost a month long cold spell for me. The schools i'm waiting on are Haas, Darden, Yale, and Wharton. And Wharton is a superreach. Not hearing from Darden is really agonizing though, of all the schools I thought i had my best shot w/ them and the clock is ticking, my chances are getting slimmer by the day.

Does anyone know for sure when The Consortium is having their draft?

From what I am hearing from the schools it is later this year, March 12th I believe.

I don't know when draft day is. But I do know that I was told that the Consortium won't be mailing out their decisions this year until March 19.

Hmm, Ross says, "All Ross Consortium applicants will be notified of their Ross admission, membership, and fellowship (or other Ross scholarship award) statuses by March 15th."

If draft day is on the 12th it makes sense that decisions will go out on the 15th since it happens shortly after.

I called Consortium and asked them last week what day the draft was, they wouldn't tell me. Looks like last year it was March 1st and a ton of schools informed people if they had awarded them a Consortium fellowship during the first week of March even though the Consortium letters were not mailed out until later in March.
