Calling all Fisher (Ohio State) Applicants:(2017 Intake) Class of 2019

Really sorry to hear that. Good thing is you have a decision in round 1 and have applied to a lot of other really great programs so you definitely did the right thing in preparing for all outcomes. Did the ADCOM give you any type of feedback?

Got to be a ding for me too. Haven't heard anything from school. I was told to wait till Friday, but don't think anything is gonna change.

Thank you. I just feel so frustrated. I guess there must be something going wrong. I will ask for a feedback from them.

Guys
Do you know how do these people approach your application? As in how long should I wait to hear from them? Since it is rolling, it gets really confusing as to when can you expect something from them.

Not sure. I know someone mentioned earlier that they received a lot of applications and the process for Fisher was taking a little bit longer than it had in the past.


Whatever you do, don't beat yourself up or start second-guessing yourself. I got waitlisted without an interview from Duke and it really destroyed my confidence. But one ding from one school has nothing to do with your chances at other schools, it just means that, for whatever reason, your packet is not what that program was looking for at that given time. Be confident in your abilities and your application to other places and take this as positive motivation to kick ass in the rest of your applications and the rest of the process.

I can see interview requested on my portal. But I have not received any email and the portal provides me with no option as well. Anyone who has faced this?

Give it a day or two. They might have updated the portal all at once before rolling out actual invites. Those obviously take a little more time to physically do. Congratulations though!

Thanks Ramrod2615,

Did you receive scholarship info? How long did it take after the decision release? I have a fee deadline approaching and have really no clue when the things will sort out :D

I did the Fall Preview Day option which gave me an expedited admission decision following my interview so my scholarship offer didn't come until about two weeks after. I received it in an email with an attachment that broke down the amount and how it was awarded.

Thank you for the info. I got the interview email.

Hi Ramrod2615. So I received an email from the school last night reading - "review committee has recommended you for admission to the Master of Business Administration program at The Ohio State University for the autumn 2017 semester. However, before Ohio State can finalize your admission, we must have clear evidence that sufficient funding will be available to support you while you live and study in the United States. "

They need some documentation regarding my finances, and I am currently working towards this. I just wanted to get an idea whether this means that once I provide the required documents, would I automatically receive an admit or not?

PS: I have a 2nd interview with the Career Services scheduled for today.

I'm honestly not sure. It sounds like a "conditional acceptance" pending you meet their specified requirements for enrollment. I would be very surprised if it meant anything other than that. I would definitely email whoever you've been in contact with and ask for some clarification though to make sure you have all of the details including what exactly they are looking for and any possible deadlines for the process.

Had my Video interview with Sarah. It started with Walk me through your resume, and we went on to discuss my typical day, why fisher, my weakness that would be complemented by someone from my team member, what would i say to my future classmates, what were my goals when I passed my bachelors and what are they now, any situation where I had to fight with deadline, leadership story, what challenges will you face at campus, how would you cope up with diversity factor, and then I was allowed to ask questions if I had any. It lasted for almost an hour. And i fell it was one the best conversations that I had, particularly because questions were quite innovative and not the uddsual ones. Sarah was very pleasant to talk to.
Now waiting for discussion with a career counsellor. Can someone tell me about it? What to expect and how long does it go?

Hi Everyone,

Congrats to all admits and good luck to all those who are still waiting for their decisions! I've created a separate thread for admitted students to discuss next things. Feel free to join us there.. fisher-ohio-class-of-2019-calling-all-admitted-students-231763.html

Got the nod. Can see the decision on portal, no mail yet. Hope I get some aid too.

As for the second interview with career services, It went ok. I did not feel great about it. Mostly, there were standard questions (TMAY,GOALS,How can we help...).

Narenn, I am not able to update my status.

Congrats! I have changed your status. That must be a minor glitch. I believe it is working fine now.

Did anyone who applied by Dec 15th deadline receive interview invite?
