Hi Guys,

Did anyone here apply for R1 on 1st Nov? Did anyone hear back yet?
My application is still in "submitted" state.

Nikhil · Answer

Based on the decision tracker data, I don't see anyone receiving any update yet. I guess you have to wait a little more. I also see dbsheta withdrew his/her application, Maybe he/she has more information on the updates? https://gmatclub.com/forum/merage-irvin ... acker.html

My profile is — 6+years of work experience. an engineer turned entrepreneur, started a textiles manufacturing and trading business with my father (as his prior experience and willingness to work In the same industry). Completed my engineering side by side. Then left for job, but kept involved in business and moved back for business, leaving my job. Since then, been in business and have turned quite a lot of things around for us and for the market in a good way. Turned everything from credit to cash. And took things online, and added customer eccentric approach. I really think entrepreneurship is a good idea for me, but not sure if it’s a good idea in case I want to experience something different like a job maybe for sometime.

I received Kira Talent link few weeks back asking to complete the video evaluation in two weeks time. I received another link today extending deadline by one week. Have you completed the evaluation? After completion, it might take 1-2 weeks for them to get back.

All the best!

Hi all!

I couldn't find the FEMBA thread so I'll just post here. Any Spring 2020 FEMBA hopefuls out there?

Has anyone received their decision yet? I interviewed on 12/17 for the Spring 2020 program and haven't heard back yet. I know it's only been a few weeks but the wait is agonizing!

Congratulations! When did you applied? R1 or R2?

roykabir772 · Answer

Thanks. I applied on 9th December. So, thats post R2. But Merage has a rolling admission process so wasn't stringent with the deadline I guess. I interviewed on 29th January.
