Can any current student help me get Donna Bauman's email id? I forgot to ask for it after my Skype interview.

Those yet to interview, here are the questions I got:
1. Walk me through your resume (worded a little differently though)
2. Why are you looking for an MBA? Where do you see your career in the future?
3. Why does KF appeal to you?
4. What are the kind of activities outside KF (she hinted towards community activities) that you have participated in?
5. What kind of teamwork experiences have you had in your professional life and what have you learned from them?
6. Is there anything you'd like to add that I haven't asked you about?
7. Any questions for me?

Good luck to all applicants.

aurum17 . I was interviewed by her as well. Here goes her mail ID-

Donna_Bauman@unc.edu

All the best for the results! :)

I called the adcom yesterday and got to know that R1 calls can very much be expected till the notification date.
Can't say whether this stands as their default answer for any interview related query.

This seems like a standard answer to me. If they keep rolling out the interview invitations till decision date, when will the candidate get time to schedule and be mentally prepared for the interview. I think the invites will dry up pretty soon.

Having said that, I would like to tell everyone that I am saying so to keep my hopes balanced rather than hanging on a loose thread. If you can keep your hopes of a interview invite alive till decision date, nothing better than that. Trying to be practical is what I am doing.

I feel the same. I was also a lil disenchanted when they sent invites to people without app submission so thankfully I'm not too hung up on KFBS..

I agree that this is a standard reply from all the schools, but I still feel that it is too early to close curtains for the EA round applicants. Today is 18th and the results will be out on 14th. This is a sufficiently long period for the ADCOM to interview people and decide on the final result.

That is true but having applied really early in EA, I am losing hopes considering the fact that the review of applications happen on first come basis.

Can anyone tell me whether it's advisable to apply in Round 2 (Dec 4)?

I am a female with 4+ years of work experience in IT, market research and strategy. Have a GMAT score of 680.

Thanks in advance!

680 is slightly below the average, but not at the bottom of scores. You'll have a chance as long as you have a good application (work experience, story, etc.).

I am not so sure about the first come, first served basis. My impression was that except for special cases, once application deadlines passed, they just threw everything into one batch and reviewed them at random. I haven't specifically asked about this.

As far as the interview goes, I'd guess you have about 2 weeks left to reasonably get an interview invitation. With dates that close, they will probably insist on a skype interview instead of in-person, though I know there are some interviews happening later this month and early/mid next month. There is always the chance of reevaluation in round 2 as well.

Hi alwayswaiting,

Thanks for your inputs. May be I am losing hope way too early, will keep fingers crossed.
