Anyone know what sort of stuff Kroll asks and how strict/critical is the process?
Show more

I am in my 6th week... About 2 weeks ago Kroll contacted me telling me they had difficulties getting in touch with my employer. I sent them some documents proving dates, salary and title. Since then no news.
I am an international so that might explain why it's taking so long.
This whole MBA application process has proven to be a real game of patience!

Hey mbagirl23, worry not, I just got verified a few days ago. Unfortunately they do take a while (and don't necessarily keep you updated) but I am sure it will come through. Which country are you from?

I'm French. I'm not really worried, I'm just anxious to quit my job! I work in M&A and haven't had any life at all for a long time. I know I could quit before the process is over but I figured it's probably best to wait in case they need a paper or anything.
thanks for the support!

Yeah, no worries. We have strangely similar profiles (although I got rejected at Booth, haha). I work in M&A too out of Mumbai/Singapore so I completely get what you mean. I am quitting May 31 :) These last 20 months have been life sucking

I was accepted into Stern, but decided not attend (fairly certain I am attending Ross). I informed the admissions team so I hope this opens up my spot for GMAT clubber on the waitlist!

i'm really confused now. after my interview on Mar. 13th, I haven't heard anything from Stern. my status said that up to three weeks since my interview day, I could have a decision. But now, it has been more than three weeks...what happened?

Xiaxiaqin, are you based out in China (just going off the name)? I interviewed in Shanghai, also on March 13th, and I have also not heard any news back from the admissions office. I think in my case that it took a little while for them to properly file my official transcript. It's a little bit irritating, but I can assure you that you are not alone.

What a coincidence (same day, same place, same interviewer, same late reply). I was probably nervously pacing the lobby somewhere while you were interviewing. Good luck to you. I will post back here when/if I hear anything.

In the case - if the world is fair - you should hear back 2 hours before me. :o

Good luck again. I am sure good news is on the way.
