Thanks everyone. Sorry to those who landed on the WL or didn't get in. I know the feeling all too well. Really seems like a lot of wait-lists this round. CMU's rounds are different this year from last, so I wouldn't give up hope.

Congrats LetsGoMets on the admit.

Another Q (sorry for bombarding):

1. Describe an obstacle you have faced in your professional or academic life. How did you overcome this obstacle and how did it foster your development?

Just to confirm this is not the right place to talk about weaknesses, right ?



Is it ok to write an obstacle which is like 10 years old?

I am having real hard time in finding any substantial one :(


I would not use one that far behind. My thoughts on this is that it is not so much about the size of the obstacle but about how you handled it. If you have a more recent event where you can show your reasoning, actions taken and results that shoud be a better answer.

hi All - first post here. Applied in Round 2.

Some reason I still havn't received a decision yet. online status still reads: Application complete pending Interview. Had my Interview back in Feb.

Is it cuz am applying from NZ? International students find out later? Anyone else on the same boat?

Oh and Congrats to everyone who got in. :) Top effort.

Good luck with the rest. :)

Tigger, I think you should shoot them an email. To me (a complete outsider in the admissions process), this looks like something might have gotten lost along the way. Maybe your interviewer forgot to file a report. Or, maybe everything is fine and you'll find out any minute. I know it's a tough spot to be in, but I think a well crafted email, or phone call is the right play here.

Thanks LGM.

I could. But I've never been to the city of Pittsburgh before, and it might be nice to visit. And it's sort of within driving distance, too. OK, it's a 10-hour drive, but still. If they end up giving me a full ride, I would consider it. Decisions, decisions.

10 hours is a pretty LOOOOONG drive. I say do whatever you have time for, but a 20 hour round trip to go check out a city/school you most likely won't attend isn't worth the effort. Then again, you can somehow have the experience of your life and decide to change your mind, hahah!

In any case, congrats on the interview invite. Who'd you draw?

Thanks! Hmm, not sure what you mean by drawing someone. I was asked to contact Carol by phone or email. Does that mean she's going to be the person interviewing me?

Nevermind, jumped the gun and thought you already scheduled.

I think there are other good reasons other the the $ to consider it. I visited the school sometime ago and I was impressed with what I saw. I would recommend that you interview at the school if you decide to go ahead. Flying there is really easy, you can catch the bus straight from the airport and it will drop you a couple of blocks from Tepper.

any heads-up for the interview?!

What kind of questions would I ask?! And how formal should you dress -- sorry kind of a dumb question?

Why MBA, why Tepper? Talk about your career history. What do you plan to do when you're done with B-school, both short term and long term? How do you plan to be active in the Tepper community?

That was the jist of it.
