Congrats on a great interview financegirl -- thanks for the debrief. Starting to get a little anxious... Hopefully more invites to come.


Don't get anxious, it's still pretty early in the application process. My interview will be after Thanksgiving with a local alum. I will keep you posted.

Happy to know that your interview went well and that you received a positive feedback, financegirl. By the way, I thought that they don't give any feedback and that it's a bad idea even to ask for any feedback. So I am wondering how it happened and what they said at the end, if you don't mind sharing.

RogerDodger: It's too early to get anxious unless you applied a few weeks before the deadline and your application went complete much earlier than Nov 2nd. Even then, the admissions director has repeatedly said that there is no order to interview invites. So hang in there, buddy!

My interview is this coming Monday, and I hope that everything goes well.

Interview. India. Delhi. Date will be provided by alum as I had to reschedule it. :oops:

Would like to collaborate with people to prepare and crack the interviews. Interested Gmat Club members may drop me an email so we can conduct mock interviews for each other and get in our dream schools.



Good luck and God Bless.

Just got a interview invite this morning. International applicant, Canadian in Canada. And to help with speculation/analysis. I did do the optional video essay, and submitted my app just a hour or two before deadline - video edits take a lot of time!

Invites as in interview invites? AFAIK the interview is optional for FEMBA applicants (though I opted to interview anyway)

thatsku, any news from the Admissions Committee yet? Or any email confirmations stating they have looked at your app?

I just got a "Thank You" card from my interviewer. Generic "Thank You" card for attending Super Sat.

Just the thank you card signed by the interviewer with the generic message printed on the inside as you mentioned...

I don't think I saw any email confirmations stating that my app is being reviewed...

one question : how many of the invitees have submitted the optional essay - i mean the video essay.

did anyone in the forum who did not submit the optional video get an interview call ?

I submitted an audio essay and got an interview invite. One of my buddies did not submit anything for the optional essay (there is a reason why it is called optional!) and got an interview invite too. So my two cents is that they extend an invite based on overall merit of the application as opposed to whether one submitted an OPTIONAL essay or not!

BTW, a quick update on my interview: A 2nd year student and an admissions officer interviewed me, and the questions were pretty standard - why MBA, why now, why Anderson, a challenging team experience, so on and so forth, with the exception of one odd ball question from the 2nd year student. Who is one person that we both might know and that you look up to? Overall, I think I did well and will keep my fingers and toes crossed.
