Thanks for the insight. I applied on May 3rd, but haven't heard anything back. All of my recommendations/references were received prior to submission.

Any updates on how your interview went on 05/16?

Yeah so like you, I was interviewed by an iMBA alumni. Questions were as follows:
1. Why am I looking to do an MBA?
2. Why iMBA with Gies?
3. What problems do I envision having whilst doing the degree?
4. What are the benefits and potential problems in working in a group?
5. How can I contribute to the iMBA program?
6. Why am I applying for the scholarship?
I think that was it. Very straightforward and I believe it went well.
I was told they finalise decisions every 2 weeks on Fridays and that it probably wouldn't happen this week. They will probably get back to me by end of May, early June latest. It'll be another 2 or 3 weeks after that to know if I made it into the 2nd round for the scholarship.

I emailed them asking for an update and the next day, I was emailed an invite to interview. I could have scheduled as early as Monday the 22nd (everything before that was unavailable), but due to my timezone (only extremely early interviews available) I will interview Thursday the 25th.

Congrats on receiving your decision! Thanks for sharing your timeline.

I had my interview on the 25th and the admissions rep said that admissions decisions generally go out on Fridays and that I'd most likely have a decision on June 2nd but if not then, June 9th. She indicated that there were many staff at a conference this week, but she didn't believe it would negatively impact the flow.

I received a Welcome email yesterday, Sunday, June 4th... I was told they go out on Friday's so it was strange to have received it on Sunday.

Congratulations. I hope the others who have joined the conversation also hear back soon from the admissions team.

Re: Calling all Gies Fall iMBA 2023 applicants [#permalink]
I received the Notice of Admission yesterday and my schedule is as below:
Submitted Application: 04 May
Interview Invitation: 22 May
Interview Scheduled: 24 May
Welcome email: 5 June
Notice of Admission: 7 June

I'm wondering if anyone who has been admitted to the program has already joined the "Summer/Fall 23 Admits Group on Workplace" mentioned in the email. I was unable to access it and I'm curious if others are experiencing the same issue.
