Still remains "In Review" but I have already lost My hope with UW. Those who still wait, please accep it as dinged. It is too late to receive an invite these days. I have contacted 2 times with admission team to get a specific response for My app. But Generic mails saying that they are still reviewing.. In their first email, they Told me that I would be contacted before 25th of Nıvember, if I will be invited to an interview. But second mail says this year there are too much AppS and they are still reviewing and sending invites. The mail date was 24th of November. I do not know You but I gave up waiting for their mail. Please get used to it guys, we are dinged.. That is it.. Regards

Sorry for the late update. My interview happened last week. Was not my best one and having caught the flu did not help. Otherwise questions were general ones and interview was quite conversational. Some qs - goals, why mba, some leadership exo qs, personal achievements, etc.
Best of luck all. Fingers crossed for decisions.

Hi everyone,

My interview happened today. The interviewer was the director of the Center for Brand & Product Management and we talked for 40 minutes. He was super nice and asked me general questions such as ''why an MBA now?", "why UW?", "where do you see yourself professionally in the future?".

I don't think they have a rigorous script of questions and my conversation flowed smoothly and naturally. In the end, he asked me questions about my specific career goals (industry and country) and B plans. I think the main point is to know for sure what you want to do with your career.

I'm sorry for those who were dinged this time. I was dinged in the last round of UW's last admission process. I decided to improve my Gmat score to reapply now and it seems that it made a difference. I wish you all luck in other processes.

More results will be released next week.

Good luck for all those waiting for a final result!!! :-D

actually i have got calls from colleges ranked higher than UW. i still fail to understand why i didnt get a call here........ i think they tend to prefer more experienced people i have abt 2.5 years work experience. i re-read my essays everything seemed fine thr.... may be something was lacking......one has to move on and apply sumwhere else... and send a better application....everything happens for eventual good.......so all those who got a call from UW....best of luck guys!!!!!!!

Hello AnotherIndianITmale and hbilgil,

Actually, in my case, my last Gmat score was my weakest point in my previous application. I heard that in an email and in a face to face feedback meeting with the Admission Committee.

In the letter with the final result of the last application process, they wrote that it was possible for applicants to ask for feedback from July on and I did it.

I have 10 years of work experience, experience with the PR team of the Brazilian's President and a lot of community work.

I don't know if I am going to be accepted this time, but it was really good for me to have the chance to get some feedback.

Best of luck to you guys

3. Tell me about a project mentioned on my resume.
4. Why this specialization? SCM?
5. What companies are you targeting for internship and post MBA jobs?
6. What will you contribute to the class?
7. What do you want to gain from your classmates?

Keep smiling.
Hope to hear a positive reply on 9th Dec.
