Hi anybody who submitted application on Feb 1st got interview invite?

I received an invite for interview on the 10th. Does anyone know if this is a blind interview, or have they already gone through the written and video essays?

Has any R2 applicant(already interviewed) got an admit yet? Or they tend to release decisions all at one go?

Hi,
I am an Entrepreneur from India. I am planning to apply for the April 1st deadline. Is it a good idea to apply for this last deadline considering that I am an International applicant and that seats are almost filled.. In the Smeal website, there is no specific dealine mentioned for intl. applicant. Can somebody who is well versed with Smeal suggest something... Thankyou

For those asking about interview questions...

Smeal is very big on what is called the Honor Code. They change the questions & make them random on purpose to try and ensure students can not just tell each other what to expect in advance. You are being tested on your ability to communicate and sell yourself, so please avoid searching for exact questions and just work on presenting yourself well!!

Hey Guys, Here I am posting my old post again.

I have created a WhatsApp group for people who have been "admitted and decided to join Smeal". The idea is to have closer interaction among students and be helpful to each-other by sharing information about i-20, visa, logistic and academic preparation related topics. The group is open for all the students from any geographic location worldwide.

If you are admitted and decided to join Smeal, please send me a message with you details and cell phone number and I will add you to the group.

Hey shurush,

I too was interviewed in Feb (Feb 19). Any specific reasons for expecting the result this soon?
I was told by Ann that the results will be out by April 1.

Hi,

Ann told me that the results would be out at the max by 1st April(that being the deadline for the decision), but I wanted to know if Smeal gives results on a deadline basis or on a rolling basis.

Thanks!
