I was filling in the online application. I wanted to share something about the video essay.

They mentioned Kira talent website. There is a good opportunity for everyone to practice questions before the schools sends you a link.

Go the following website and go to 'practice' section in up right of the page and follow instructions:

Good luck

Dear prospective candidates,

I am one of the first year MBA candidates at the Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business and I will be happy to take any questions you may have about the full time MBA program, application process or the school in general. Please excuse me for I will not be able to reply immediately considering the curriculum and other extra curricular activities I am involved in at school. I and Buckeye2304 both will be here to answer your questions.

Best,
Keats

Hello everyone,
I submitted my application on 26 Sep and the KIRA videos on 5 Oct.

Kira video questions were mostly situational and about experiences in personal and professional life. There were 3 video questions altogether, each gave 45 secs to prepare and 2 minutes to answer. There was a 4 question (writing) of 8 minutes length. This question was about a time when I was asked to do something against my values and what did I do and why.

Hope this helps others.

Can somebody (those who have submitted and got reply from adcom) please let me know about the mode of communication about the status. My app in portal says Complete App (I assume it means submitted). How would I get to know the status?

I know its on Rolling basis but there is a deadline of 15 Oct for R1, when can I expect a decision on my app.

Awesome! The video part is optional right? I mean you can either choose to answer video questions or write a traditional essay right?

I attended the preview day on September 28th. My applicant portal updated by 10 am on October 4th, and I got a call around 11:30 am that same day.

Unfortunately, I had to miss the marketing class part of the visit. It was an almost four hour drive for me, and I couldn't arrive the night before.

Main application is submitted and I sent the official gmat score today. I'll be doing the video questions Saturday most likely. Hopefully I don't bomb them as badly as I did with Michigan's

I see you have US as your location, but are you a permanent resident? I have heard of some schools requiring internationals or non-perms to have cosigners or show proof of a loan before accepting. I have not heard of anything like this for permanents. If you are perm, I have no idea.

Just waiting on the official gmat score to clear and I'm complete.

hi team,
I have a query what is the total number of recommendations one has to submit for Fisher.
the Fisher MBA site says " If you're eligible for Ohio State's Graduate Enrichment Fellowship OR University Fellowship, please submit three letters of recommendation to be considered".
