Calling all Kenan-Flagler Applicants (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!!

I had applied on 2 Dec (R2) and since I didn't hear from them, assumed that they wouldn't get back. Did not follow it up too. Got a surprise mail last evening, asking if a slot on 20th or 21 Jan was OK. Have fixed mine for 20 Jan. Decision on 01 Feb.
More post the interview!

Congrats mate.. so maybe just maybe.. it's worth keeping hopes up for another couple of days for those who haven't received interview invite yet!

It's never really over until you decide it's over! <<Philosophy>>

As an international applicant, is it a bad idea to apply in R3?

I didnt apply in round 1/2 because of some potential personal commitments.

I'm an Indian Female with a 680 and a fairly strong professional profile (3 promotions in 40 months, international work ex., leadership positions, selective Ivy summer program etc)

If you feel that you have a strong profile, there is no harm in applying in R3. The only reason why international students are encouraged to apply by R2 is just to have sufficient time in hand for the Visa formalities. Having said that by round 2, around 80% seats get filled up - This is just my assumption and I may be off the mark on the percentage count. Since, you feel you have a strong profile, I would encourage you to apply to a 'few' schools where you think you can put your best foot forward. Make sure your goals are well defined.

Remember, just in case you plan to 'reapply' to these schools next year, you will have to write an additional reapplicant's essay. So on the hindsight, in case you can afford to wait another year, get your GMAT score above 700 mark and apply with an even stronger application with sufficient time in hand the following year.

Had my interview today. Last day of the round for invites. I am amazed at the quality of instruction, the availability of the adcom, and how energetic and excited the student body was. Feel free to PM me regarding interview questions for those in later rounds, but as always-- be charming, be open, and be yourself. UNC has something special going on.

For a school like Kenan-Flagler the R3 deadline coincides with the R2 deadlines of other schools. It definitely does not diminish your chances of getting in if you applied in the Jan round. It's only the last round (Round 4 for KF) which is tough and generally not advisable for internationals. Also, with decisions in March, you'll have enough time to finish admission formalities.

Anyone apply in R2 getting nervous/excited about February 1?! Does no phone call over the weekend of January 29-31 indicate any kind of red flag for the applicant? I feel like most schools stay firm to the decision release date and don't make phone calls, but I've heard otherwise with Kenan-Flagler. Did some people get in without getting a phone call over the weekend before the release date? I know R1 decisions were released on December 14, which was also a Monday.

My friend,
I was offered admissions on the Early Action this year and my strategy was to travel the weekend before and keep the cellphone off.
I know exactly what you are feeling and thinking but, as it was in my situation, there is nothing else you could do.
So, try not to think too much on it. I know it is very hard but, although most admitted have said they received a phone call, not receiveing doesn't mean you won't be accepted.

Else, I wish you the best luck!

Just had my Skype interview with Donna Baufman. Extremely conversational, jovial, personal and enjoyable.
No hitches at all in the process or any unexpected hurdles.
Now I guess it is a time for them to "bunker down and put their heads together looking at all those files"in her words, till 1 Feb!
Good luck to all those out there waiting for the decision!

Anyone know if you check the website or if they e-mail you with the decision?

For R1 - some were called before or on the date, but all received an email notification that the decision is available by logging into the website.

Yes, I did, the same day. Guess it depends on the interviewer and how conversational the whole interview went, to some extent.

To those who are wondering about getting replies from their interviewers. You should not judge anything from the absence of one.
Sometimes the interviewers just do not have the time to reply.

I had a great interview with lots of laughs, but I did not get a reply.
Verdict: Admitted with Full scholarship!

Most of the accepted students got a phone call from their interviewers one or two days in advance and the official results were posted on the given date.
An email arrives in your box prompting you to check the decision on the portal.
The portal contains information about the acceptance and a mention of scholarship if any, but not the amount. You get another mail stating the amount.

The scholarship is mentioned on the phone call too, but not the amount. I was told that there is some activity and it is very generous, but I came to know about the exact amount only on the decision date.

Hope this clarifies all the doubts about result declaration.

Hey Guys,

I was just going through my applications and I found that I had done a blunder in mentioning dates for one of my college extra curricular activities(by mistake mentioned the date which was beyond college) . Do I drop an email to the admissions committee?

Please help. Really Tensed..
