Hi all,

Here's my interview debrief.

Interview started with a description of the process and introduction. Then he said before we come to the resume, tell me something about yourself ( He specifically prompted what he wants to know). I started with where I live , Who my parents where ,etc etc....and then involuntarily launched into my career story! When I was done, he said , he would like to go back a few steps and come back to how I wanted to become an architect when my parents were doctors....(so personal stuff..). Then Why MBA? Stopped me in the middle of my prepared answer and asked me a few questions about feasibility of goal, target industry region, etc (very relevant to my specific profile I must say).....Asked a few questions about my current company, do I work in teams, how big are the projects, how many projects, etc..Then he asked what I was doing at office right now and what I did in my free time. A few follow up questions here and there. What schools did I apply to and what is my application status at those schools? After that he explained the post MBA app process and then he wanted to hear my questions about Mays. Done.

Hi, my interview is scheduled next week and I wanted to more about Mays initiative in energy industry. Being in Texas is an advantage but I wasnt able to find any courses or applied learning programs in energy domain. So, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I'd say, Marketing is pretty good specialization at Mays. You have top-notch professors here who have authored books on Marketing. As far as I remember Georgia Pacific and Dell came for their Marketing / Brand Management intern positions this year.

To follow-up there are electives and a certification you can pursue if you're interested in Energy. For courses that are targeted at undergrads, you may not get a credit, but per my conversations there are couple of courses that get you credits such as Energy Trading.

Had my interview with the admissions director last week on 4th March and received a decision today .
Result is that i have been WAIT LISTED . I am pretty keen on getting admitted to the school . Any other guys here who have been wiatliste d?
Any tips / suggestions as to whats a wait listed applicant can do to confirm his/her admission chances ?

My interview went pretty well. All the questions were typically the same as have been discussed in the forum here . I have a decent profile with 4 yrs experience in Manufacturing domain and good extra curricular . My GMAT is 660 . I think its because of the low score that I have been wait listed .

Hey My Interview was on 6th March and i felt it was pretty good. i have a decent profile 1.5 yrs in Ops and 3 yrs in B2B Sales. total of 4.5 yrs exp. Well written essays too.

I got my decision yesterday night that i have been WAITLISTED. :? My GMAT score is 680. And i feel the same i have been WL because of low GMAT score coz for indians AVG GMAT is 700.

Also can someone throw some light what exactly WL means with regards to Mays B-school. As in All the seats have been filled for International candidates and they are waiting if someone leaves and then they will accomodate WL candidates OR There are seats left and they are waiting for better candidates to be interviewd than WL candidates.??

I had very high hopes on Mays and am extremely keen on attending this program this Aug.
