Calling all Purdue Krannert MBA Applicants:(2019 Intake) Class of 2021

Hi Mo2men - I am really enjoying my time at Krannert thus far.

1. The questions are generated at random, so it's tough to say what exactly you would face. The good thing is that you can log into the Kira platform and practice answering questions ahead of time, which really does help.

2. The career coaches at Krannert (KPDC, as we call them) are honestly all really great. They are more than willing to help you prepare for interviews and go out of their way to introduce you to hiring professionals within their personal networks as well. That being said, if you are counting on career services to find you a job, you are coming to the wrong school. The job search is very much a "get out what you put in" process. There is a lot of work that goes into securing an internship and/or full-time employment and that's the case at all programs. You should start networking with individuals though LinkedIn and other platforms as soon as you make you decision on what school to attend.

3. Most of us in the class of 2020 are GAs and/or have scholarships, so I would say yes, they are generous. That being said, if you're looking at schools based on the chance of receiving funding rather than personal fit, you are doing yourself a disservice.

In any case, good luck with the application and please let me know should you have additional questions.

Thanks for your prompt reply

Do not worry I do not choose or build my choice based on scholarships. But it was not clear for me in Krannert.

What is GA? How does it work?

Again thanks

So a GA is a Graduate Assistantship. Essentially, as a GA, you would work 10 hours per week for the university in exchange for full or partial tuition PLUS a monthly stipend.

Did anyone receive an interview invite till now..?I have submitted my application on Nov. 6th But I haven’t heard from them yet.How long does it take them to process the application ?

Aditya: I have applied to Purdue last year, and received offer with heavy scholarship. Based on my experience, in general, you get response within 2-3 weeks after the deadline if your application phase did go well. Otherwise it is highly likely that your application did not go well. However, as this is the thanksgiving time, it might take some more time to process all early round applications. So, you can expect to hear from the admission committee before 1st week of December if your application passes through the 1st round.

Is it mandatory to report official gmat scores to Purdue so that my application gets evaluated or can I send the scores later ..?As of now ,I have uploaded unofficial GMAT scores.

Yes, you need to send the official GMAT score to the admission committee. Without it, your application won’t be reviewed.

Yes, you do need official scores. Also, I spoke with a member of the adcom yesterday and some of them have upwards of 20 interviews scheduled this week alone, so do be patient if you haven’t yet received an invite. It will come. Good luck!
