Has anyone heard back from Smeal lately? Any idea how much time does the AdCom take to release a decision after the interview?

Hi aa14 !

1. We have come to know so much about Smeal's Research Centers. Can you share a bit more about the various kinds of projects that are being executed in the Center for Supply Chain Research and the depth of role that the Graduate Assistants have in these projects?

2. How do these projects impact the strength of an MBA candidate applying for a job.

3. I am interested in SCM/Operations role and I see that you have work-ex related to that field. Can you please provide me more information about the top recruiters hiring for a similar role at Smeal. Also touch upon the internship positions available for MBA candidates from Smeal.

Regards,
Bhavani
