I converted from Waitlist with a scholarship, so it's quite possible.

Hello everyone!
So I am waitlisted after an interview :(.
I am really looking forward to this school. Need some help from you guys!
Please let me know that whether merage accepts letter of intent/updates after waitlist. If yes, then any suggestions are most welcome to guide me further on that.

Thank you so much in advance!

sorry for the late response! I am assuming time might have answered your question :D but my transcripts took about 4 business days.

Hi everyone,

Would appreciate it if some you could share your in-person interview experiences. A brief around the questions asked and answers expected will help a lot.

Thanks

Greetings everyone!

I understand the anxiety that comes with the video interview process, especially when uncertain about the questions that may arise.

However, I want to offer some reassurance as I have gone through the same experience and found it to be a straightforward process.

Recently, I received a video interview invitation from UC Irvine, and I can recall some of the questions that were asked for an MFIN degree:

1. Tell us about yourself?
2. What do you think is the most important project of your career and why?
3. Which other schools have you applied to and which factors are you going to weigh most heavily when you make your final decision?
4. What skillsets have you learned during your degree or internships that you can use in a Master of Finance program and beyond?

I hope this information helps you get a better idea of what to expect from the video interview process.

As a pro tip, it's a good idea to practice with the provided sample questions to become more comfortable with answering within the 1-minute time frame. This can help you feel more prepared and confident during the actual interview.

Overall, I wish you the best of luck with your video interview and hope that you find these tips helpful.
