I think it will be after the LEAD events personally, good luck!

I hope so! I'm attending LEAD and I'm getting nervous seeing all of these acceptances rolling out. I've already done my admissions interview but I know many of the people going to LEAD will interview there. I'm not expecting to hear a decision until after the event, and I would expect that the adcom will be very busy for the next few days (the schedule of events for LEAD is very dense) so they might hold off on delivering further acceptances as well.

This is incredible - thank you for sharing :)

Welcome and good luck for your interview! Tell us how it went.


Note to all admitted and waitlisted applicants: We have started separate threads for you here...

I finished my Skype interview yesterday, and it went well. It was conducted by the admissions director herself, and was very conversational; lasted about 45 mins in total.

Here is the list of questions I was asked:

Walk me through your resume
Short term goals and long term goals
From your resume, it seems like you can transition to your future company right now. So, why an MBA, and why now?
Why Johnson?
What would you bring to the Johnson classroom?
What are somethings that your co-workers will say about you?
How will you get that job at your future company? How will you make that happen?
Give me three bullet points that you want the admissions committee to know about yourself.
What other schools have you applied to?
What do you do in your leisure time?

Then it was time for me to ask questions.

Cannot wait to hear back now!

Applied a day before R1 deadline. Interviewed 11/9, still waiting to hear back.

If you didn't get invited to LEAD event, does it imply you did not get Park Fellowship?

I just returned from the LEAD event last week (for R1 applicants). They told us to expect up to 3 weeks to hear an admissions decision. So there is still plenty of time!

I interviewed on 11/29 (R2 applicant) - almost a week ago, and my status on the portal still says "Schedule Interview". Is that normal?

if it is 3 weeks, then we are looking at between Christmas and New Years. Deposit/transcript deadline is 1/10. Is it normal to only give about 1-2 weeks to let you make desicion and get transcript?
Considering it still takes time for my UG school to mail them the transcript, it'll be a tight deadline.

Was there as well. It sounded more like it would be 'within' three weeks, which would be the 23rd at the latest.

This wait is absolutely brutal...It feels like I applied and have been interviewed years ago. Johnson should just convert to a decision date as opposed to this rolling deadline BS.

Does anyone know what the odds of being accepted are if an applicant is actually interviewed?
