Hey guys,

I had an interview on the 28th of January.....Hoping that I get a decision sometime this week. Fingers crossed!
I interviewed today. They indicated that they're prioritizing completed applications for domestic candidates so they can plan to attend the Red Carpet Weekend the first weekend of March. I would expect a decision soon-- within a week or two.

Glad to hear it. Here is to hoping that we both get accepted!

BTW, did you enjoy the "interview" day at Fisher? It was my first time in Columbus at the OSU campus and I really enjoyed it. The students and faculty were all incredibly nice and seem to really believe in the direction that the Fisher MBA is going in.
So I'm an OSU alum, born and raised in central Ohio, and live locally, so I had a bit of that type of experience. Was a little surprised by the tone of the interview. Wasn't very conversational, and a lot of "negative" toned behavioral questions. All in all I think it went OK though!

And ditto, good luck to you as well!

I had an interview today. It was amazing experience. It was well rounded. However, they informed me that there will be a second phase of interview. I don't know when it is going to happen. My first interviewer informed me that i will get a call a week or couple of days at most and i can reach her anytime on queries regarding the school. Overall it was a positive experience. But, i did not do my KIRA interviews that well because of work. Does anyone know when i can expect a call from them and how will be the second interview experience will be. Is there any watsapp group?

Congrats on the solid interview! They did not indicate any second interview to me, but there were Admissions and Career Services components to the on-campus visit and interview(s)? Maybe that's what they mean? Or an international student requirement?

Good luck!

It is good to hear. However, I did not submit my TOEFL score to them (as I scored only a 98 without any preparation and it was a blind shot). Will it hinder my admission process, I requested that I will submit my IELTS score post my interview. Presently, I am waiting for their response.

Congrats man!

Unfortunately, I interviewed before you and have not received any update to my portal whatsoever. So, I'm thinking that this will be "ding" for me...Alas, I was admitted somewhere :) Again, congratulations man

Thank you! And if it helps, I haven't received an email/phone call or official communication, which seems peculiar. Maybe some glitch in their process. Hopefully your patience will be rewarded, but Madison's also a great school! Good luck!

Well, almost a month after my initial interview, on a Friday night at 2 AM, I got an automated email from Fisher stating that I have been accepted. Very strange!

They still haven't updated my application portal but did update a separate portal linked to my OSU username. Still no word on scholarship.....I guess my application portal will get updated sometime this week?

Anyway, I'm happy to have another admit, even though I'm leaning towards UW-Madison :) Best of luck guys

Congrats!

My aid award came within a week, but it was not with the original decision. I'd expect something early-mid next week.

My portal was updated like 18 hours before I got the email... weird! Sounds like they have some kinks in the process.

Hi everyone,

Congrats to everyone who got the offer!!
I also received the 2nd stage interview invitation from "Allison" worked in office of career management.
Is there anyone who had the experience of 2nd interview?
I'm a little nervous since this is the first time that I met this situation.
Please help to share with me some of your experiences.
Many thanks!!

Wish everyone can get the offer from your dream school.

All the best!
