Hi Shaselai,

I had the information interview (through phone) sometime during the 3rd quarter of this year. This is the perfect venue for you to be able to understand the IESE MBA program better and determine if you are a good fit to the class. A member of the AdCom will first introduce herself and then ask for your questions about the program. Mine lasted for around 30 minutes. My tip - just prepare your smart questions.

I read in one of the IESE 2011 forums in other websites of one applicant who got rejected without any interview calls. That means the pre-admissions committee really has a hand in determining which applicants are suited for the program and be subjected to the next round of screening.

Rinie, are you suggesting they might just call most of the people that apply to interview?

it does seem like there are amazingly few people that get dings without and interview (on this and other forums in general).

Also, why is this thread so quiet? IESE is one of the top schools in europe...strange.

Will this replace the formal interview at all or it doesnt "count" toward anything?

Thanks Rinie442 for the detailed debrief!

Did the career services team also do a presentation ?. Do you remember any highlights from Career services presentation such as the breakdown of recruitment in consulting, banking, industry or employment by region for internships and full-time jobs ?

Good luck for Tuesday ! :)

Could the December 17th deadline for the commitment fee be a typo? that is awfully soon (and quite a lot of $$$!)
