Calling all Krannert (Purdue) MBA Applicants: 2020 Intake

Are all the applicants who have received an admit interviewed? I read in the FAQs on krannert website that interview is not a requirement. So there are cases where the applicants are not required for an interview and directly receive an admit?

Short answer: both.

Business schools like diverse cohorts, so they tend to take certain numbers from each grouping to balance out the class.

Additionally, no 2 GMAT scores are the same. Someone who grew up in say Peru had to learn English as a second language, so their verbal score is likely to be lower than an American or Indian who grew up speaking English their entire lives. Ad Coms know this, so they typically evaluate similar candidates against each other.

Is there any group for admitted students?

None in my knowledge but you can create a closed chat group for Krannert admits in our chat room. Group chat feature provides you nearly all the benefits of popular chat apps while protecting your privacy. https://gmatclub.com/forum/mchat.php

Let me know if you need any help.

Congratulations to all admits

Dear all ..
Has anybody received scholarship email yet ?
I got admit offer on 7th March 2020. But I haven't received any scholarship mail yet.
Can some experienced person throw light on this aspect.

Thanks in advance !!

Hey guys,
I got an admit offer on 18th march and today I received another email stating the deposit amount?
Do I receive another email regarding scholarship? Or am I not getting any scholarship?

You’re just about 2 weeks, which is about the time they start announcing offers. I’d bet you’ll hear something in the next 7-10 days.

That said, COVID might have slowed them down as well. Purdue (and all US schools) are having to adjust to online format for remainder of this semester. The entire country is closed down right now.

You’ll get a second offer in a few weeks with scholarship offer. No idea why, but they do separate committees here at Krannert.

Hi,
I received admit and scholarship for the STEM program.
Is there a whatsapp group or Facebook group for admitted students?

Hey guys!

I’ve been admitted for the fall of 2020!

I hope this year gets better from here on and I hope to see you in class.

Quick question, how are you guys financing your tuition and cost of living? Who are you borrowing from?

I’m from India. So, Indians or international students taking loans from international agencies, please respond.

KRANNERT IS BEING DISSOLVED LMAO

Hi guys, wanted to return here with my opinion on program status as I'm currently here in West Lafayette.

Since they announced plans to close the full-time MBA program, Krannert has descended into somewhat of a chaotic state. Dean Hummels does not seem concerned with masters students or the detrimental effects that the program closure announcement will have on our careers.

IMO, anyone considering Fall attendance at Krannert should revisit that decision and factor in the new information. If you have already accepted an offer, I would also consider renegotiating offers since Krannert has drastically changed their end of the deal, and it is very unlikely that the program & degree will carry the same value that it would have prior to the announced closure.

For context, I was given a full scholarship here, and the program closure announcement has made me wish I had not accepted it. IMO these negative effects will be far-reaching.
