Hi. While checking my application, I am seeing this: Admit Type: New to University (Grad). Can anyone help me understand?

I assume that’s because you did not do your undergraduate at Penn State. Mine also says the same.

Great. May I know with whom you had interview? I mean your interviewer and the interview questions? One of a person I know also got a interview invite, it will be helpful if you could share. Thank you!

the appointment confirmation should have the interviewer name. I had my interview with Joy. My interview was more like a conversation/discussion. I had talked to Joy previously when I had a 1:1 admission information call. So we talked more into details on why Smeal mba, what’s my post mba goal, and we also walked through my resume and experience.

And i guess you might expect to get a result sooner than the 2 weeks according to me as i could see in older threads (last few years) candidates did get earlier results. All the best!
