Hey guys...I got a query. If admitted by both Weatherhead and Katz with similar scholarship, which one do you think is a better choice. The deposit deadline is approaching. Thanks!

I asked this question on behalf of my friend. He is unable to logon. So I have no idea about the exact dates of submission, invite etc....sorry for that :oops:

...just want to help him to get an evaluation on these 2 schools. Comments welcome! :-D

BTW, his GMAT is 680...FYI

I got an invite in Dec. and had scheduled it for 13th Jan. Got an invite in 6 days.

Deposit for me is due by 19th Feb. It might change for you.

Hi All

I just had my interview. It went well and they made sure I was comfortable.

A few questions that I was asked

Walk me through your resume and talk about one accomplishment that you are proud of.
Strength and weakness
How do you handle people in a team
A global leader you aspire
why katz
short term goal
Any questions

My interview was just 14 mins. I am not sure if it is too short, but overall I feel I could answer all the questions well.

Let me know your thoughts.

Hi Prashant,

It is better that I reply here on the forum for the betterment off all.

My interview lasted for approx 20-25 minutes. I felt that I was the driver of the cart. Was that the case with you too? If yes, then signs are good. The length of the interview is not the decisive factor for such examinations. The quality of ones answer is the right parameter to take into consideration. If you feel you have spoken whatever was there on your mind for these questions, then just keep your fingers crossed and be hopeful for that Ahaa!! moment.

Please connect if you wanna know more. Happy to help!!

Priyank Khanna.

Hi Priyank

I feel I did answer all their questions to the best I could. I did convey all the points that I wanted to. They had a fixed set of questions they wanted to ask and had another interview scheduled as soon as mine was done. So that might be a reason why I had a shorter interview, but not sure.

Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.
