Admissions were amazing people. All of those I spoke and interacted with had a great deal of emotional intelligence, while very well versed on the programs and requirements for attendance. Based on my background, I knew that at least two tracks would be relevant to my background.

I really felt that I was among like minds, and welcome them as mentors for my further professional and personal growth. The synergy spoke for itself, and it will be a good fit. My scholarship was well into the five figures.

I also interviewed with Kenan-Flagler, and while I was accepted, I turned them down. Their ideal student was very much not like me. I'd say that Smith seeks a well rounded applicant, where Kenan-Flagler wants future investment bankers. Truth is, the latter will be automated and likely governed by A.I. within a few years, and the banks will seek IT over finance. Just my two cents.

Cheers-

I gather you have interviewed with them already. When did you submit your application?

I submitted mine on 30 September and haven't heard from them as yet. Even wrote to them checking in on their decision timeline, but they responded by saying that I should hear from them by 23 December (which by the way happens to be the decision deadline). Any idea if they are still sending out interview invites?

I was interviewed on 30th October. I felt that it went pretty well for me. I haven't heard back from them yet.

Hey guys, I am a current first-year MBA student at Smith. Do let me know if you have any questions at mandar.kashikar(at)rhsmith.umd.edu. I got a lot of help from the GMAT club community last year and wanted to give back.

Whoa! This is one of the most inactive forums. I see just one R1 applicant has reported the decision. What about other R1 folks? Did you guys hear anything from the admission team?

Just be very clear as to why do you want to do MBa and why have you chosen Smith.
