Hi all! For admitted students, what is the deadline mentioned for paying the deposit fees ? And was any further communication made from Smeal post the official offer letter ? Thanks!

Randomly generated question. e.g. Book that has left a strong impression on you ? Describe your personality ? etc. you get about 45 sec to answer each of these questions. Good luck!

Admitted, with a Graduate Assistantship! Don't underestimate the importance of communication skills and being yourself in the interviews and application. My work experience and Gmat are both below average, but was able to leverage my leadership experience, volunteer work, and soft skills. Penn state truly does look at the entire application.

Hi,

I have been admitted to Smeal with GA ( full tuition waiver+ stipend). I also have an admit from Indian School of Business. Can you please suggest as to what are the career opportunities after Smeal MBA for Product Management roles? I am really confused.

Hi,
Smeal says that as part of our application, post receiving the admit offer, we have to mail the transcripts and original degree certificate. Any of the R1 Admits done this yet ? Is it safe to mail the original degree certificate, or will an attested copy do ?
