Hey stonecold , will you be creating a new thread/group for Admitted Simon students? Or can any one of us create a thread?
Looks like all admitted students currently will need to rely on Simon's FB group at the moment.

Hi all,

I'm submitting my application in the next 1-2 days. I have a 650 GMAT and a 3.68 GPA. What do you guys think are my chances here? I'm a domestic applicant with 3 years of experience in corporate finance.

Short answer -> YES! You have a decent shot at Simon.

Long answer ->
Since Trump has taken the Oval Office, the number of international MBA applicants for US B-schools has decreased like anything.
Now, Simon, UIUC, Merage are three schools which are notorious for taking in a crap load of International students.

As there applicant poll has considerably shrank, I would not be surprised if you got in with a decent scholarship.

All the best mate. Simon is a amazing finance school.

Thank you for your evaluation. It's very reassuring and emotionally helpful during these last days.

As you mentioned, its very sad to hear such statements as immigrants (such as myself) have contributed tremendously to improving and enhancing this great country.

excuse me for being curious. You mentioned your GPA 3.68. Is it in the scale of 4.0?

Have all admitted students been interviewed by Simon?

I have submitted my application since over a month and not been invited to any interview yet. Upon contacting the Adcom, they told me that I will hear my results by April 30th. Since I still haven't received any interview - I guess it's logical to assume that I will be Dinged?

I applied in R4 (4/1) and have already conducted a video interview on 4/13.

How long does it usually take to hear back once the interview has been conducted?
