Oh! Ok. I guess I just need to be patient. What was the lead time you got for your interview day though since the day they sent the invitation?

Thanks.

I got an interview invitation yesterday but I requested to postpone it because I am currently on a business trip (I dont bring my suit and all the interview materials that I have prepared). Will this affect my application? I don't want to make the adcom think that I am not interested.

Congratulations, Azvin! I was asked for my English Test Exemption proof a few days back and yesterday I received a confirmation of the proof and was told I will be contacted regarding further steps. Fingers crossed!

Got an admit last week. Anyone else joining?

What did the waitlist email from Manchester say about getting back to you with final decision?
I mean how long do you have to wait for the decision?
Did the university mention in the email (after interview) that they will notify you in January?
Please revert.

Any idea about the R4 Final decision dates? How long does it typically take to hear back from the school after the interview?

Just got interviewed 2 days ago. Since many members of this forum have been very helpful, especially malex, azharonline, banerjeerohit92, navinbarathwaj, and Sandyyy, I'm gonna write my interview experience.

I had an interview with Fran Johnson. Prior to the interview, I've search her profile and she used to be a risk consultant, hence I'm not afraid to get technical during the interview. The interview question:
- Walk me through your resume. My advice is not just read your resume but thoroughly explain what is your main responsibilities
- Short term goals. Make sure that MBS will help you achieve your short term goals
- Behavioral question. This will depend on your previous answer. Fran realized that I'm a very well structured guy and loves to take control of the situation so she asked me what will you do if you can't control the situation during the consultancy projects? I don't think I answered this correctly though

The whole interview lasts 51 minutes, I don't ask many questions because I already met one of their representative during his visit to Indonesia. Fran said that an admission committee meeting will be held this week so probably you guys should receive the decision soon.

Thanks azvin very cool thanks for posting! Will say I wish you had asked some questions. It's not about gathering information but developing rapport with the interviewer. I know GC would be happy and dance if you posted this in debriefs. Good luck!

Hey! I got my admit yesterday too! Navin, seems you've got most of the contacts so why don't you create a WhatsApp group or something?

Hi All,

I plan to apply for the 6th round. I am an Indian female with 9 years of experience in IT. My GMAT score is 650. Is it advisable to apply with my score?

Of course yes. AMBS did not charge any application fee so I think you should try.
