Has anyone had experience with asking for a deposit extension? I was admitted and given a month for the first deposit, which was earlier than expected and is before I will be hearing from other schools. Has anyone asked for an extension?

Have you filled up the "Educational Intent" section on the left navigation pane of your application portal? Once you fill up MBA Full Time for Fall 2016, you should be able to see the MBA Essay Question.

For your quick reference, here is the question.
What are your specific post-MBA short-term and long-term goals? Why Smith? Why an MBA? Why now? (500 words)

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

:lol: It's nice to have some admits in the bag, but I only know the full offer $$ amount for one program so far. I wish I could make my decision already, but I have to wait until the end of March like everyone else! :lol: Good luck with your decisions as well. Its a big transition for all of us!

Has anyone negotiated their scholarships with Smith? I was offered $$ + GA. I'm not keen on GA in the first year when course loads are greater and we have to spend time networking. As it stands, I don't think I'll be accepting their offer.

At my interview, Mr. Hodgson said the admissions team reviews completed packages who have interviewed every Friday with acceptance/denial communications coming a few days after. He did state they did not review packages last Friday though. I had my interview 2 weeks ago and have not heard back yet.
