Are any candidates accepted without an interview? Or does every candidate under serious consideration receive an interview request?

Dude, every one has to give interview to get admitted. No one is accepted without interview.

Hmm. I'm aware of other B Schools that don't interview every candidate who is accepted. It's just logistically not possible. Those schools only interview those lagging in some areas of application or speak English as a second language. Was not sure if Mendoza worked the same way with selective interviews.

Got my Kira Video invite on Saturday. I finished the video interview today at 18:41 hrs Local time (IST) and at 19:41 (IST), I received an Interview Invite.

Any sources on how to prepare? I will schedule a zoom interview. This allows me to choose as per my convenience right?

Regards,
HK

There's a difference between the Kira interview and an actual interview. Kira interview is them trying to learn if you speak English well enough. An actual interview is either on campus or via Skype/Online - I've never heard of a reputable program not actually interviewing a candidate before admitting them.

Hey Narenn

Any leads on how to prepare for the interview? Scheduled my interview on the 30th. Also no debriefs posted? Is the activity on this thread less than what it was last year?

regards,
HK

Hello all,
I received an e-mail mentioning Video assessment invite for Notre Dame.
Does it mean that I have been shortlisted for an interview or it is just a part of an application ?

Video assessment is different from the interview. Check this post from last year's discussion for more info https://gmatclub.com/forum/calling-all- ... l#p2015542

Thanks Narenn for the link and clearing my doubt.

Hi Dinkar! Can you please share you interview experience (not the video essay) with everyone, so we can get some insights into the process.

Just received a call from the Director of Admissions to inform me I have been accepted. She said that official letters would be going out tomorrow!

Me too! Super excited :D

Hi Ameya,

I am unable to find any interview debriefs on any of the Mendoza pages. Therefore, can you please provide me some insights about the interview procedure so I can prepare accordingly? It would be of great help.

Thanks.

Thank you :)

I applied within the first round deadline and I was interviewed in November.
I'm a reapplicant and I was wait-listed last year, so my interview was centred around how my candidature improved compared to last year.
Besides this, my interviewer asked me to walk her through my resume followed by questions about teamwork, leadership and behavioural questions such as 'how I would help a struggling teammate', 'how I handled differences in opinion with my manager/senior stakeholder', 'how I handled an ethical dilemma' and so on.

There was also a case question and I was given about 10 minutes to come up with a solution.

The interviewer was very friendly and encouraging. The overall tone of the interview was fantastic and it was an informal conversation of sorts.

Do you or does anyone else know when they usually send the notification out? Is it ever prior to the decision date? When were you notified?
