abs123888 Great! Hopefully we get more applicants so this thread can start coming to life! It would be great if you could update your profile or share your stats as well. I have gotten three emails so far: application submitted (immediately after submitting), application received (several days later) and application complete.

Other than the application submitted email, all emails have been received at 12:30am for some reason!

I was accepted to the weekend program. Does anyone have any questions about the application or admissions process?

Congratulations mrskumarmba! I see you were among the first to submit your application, kudos!

Please will you share your background/profile and your interview experience? Thank you!

smig no problem. Let me know if this covers it

Years of Work Experience: 4

Application Submitted: 10/23
Interview Invitation: 11/6
Interviewed: 11/13
Admitted: 12/1

Interview was conversational. The questions were typical to what everyone in the FT forum and previous Weekend MBA forums have said "Why Ross? Why MBA? Why now?" etc. I think the weekend interviews tend to be on the shorter side, mine was about 15-20 minutes.
I attended many online and in-person events prior to submitting my application and I would recommend doing so if possible.

Thank you mrskumarmba! This really helps!

Hey guys!
have my interview in 2 days :D.. hopefully it will go well..

mrskumarmba thanks for the tips! was patti your interviewer, and was it via skype?

Hello,

I was hoping to get a sense from the group how long after you applied that you received an invite to interview? It seems as though favorable candidates tend to have an invite within 2-3 weeks? I've applied to the evening program, but from what I've read it appears both programs are similar in that they operate on a rolling admission with a decision expected in 6-8 weeks. Therefore, if one doesn't have an interview invite by week 5-6 it would suggest the application is unfavorable. Hoping to ease some of the application anxiety with actual data.

Thanks and good luck to all applicants!

mrskumarmba - thank you.
I have updated the Regular evening MBA deadline to Jan 22. Good luck everyone!
