Yes..they have sent out the first batch... and interviews are to be completed before 1st March... But don't loose hope, there might be another batch soon..


Thanks for the update! Hoping for the same. :)

Just out of curiosity, have the K-F interviewers been saying "Hope to see you here"? Is it a formality?

I think my interviewer said that. It probably just depends on the interviewer. I'd say it's either a good sign or neutral. Probably not a bad sign. Good luck!

Got a 75 % scholarship , the letter was updated on the portal.
Super spooked !!

Congrats Shekhar, looks like you're enrolling to KF!

Is it an additional letter on the portal or the same letter but updated?

I'm still waiting for my scholarship letter (if any, haha)

Thanks YodBoy !! The money from KF is very tempting, especially with uncertain scene of US.
Still waiting on few other results.

All the best for the Big fishes Booth and Wharton !!

I got dinged w/o interview from Wharton. However, I finished interview with Booth.

How about you?

Does the adcom release decision before the deadline or only strictly on the deadline?

I reached out to the Adcom and found out that they will continue to send out invites through the end of the month and potentially in the beginning of march as well.
so maybe there is still one more week of hope left for us.

I would also draw the same conclusion from my conversation with the AdCom.
I was told (just 2 days back) that my file has not yet reached the full review and only after that full review, a decision on the interview can be made.

So, it seems they are still going through application files.

It raises one more issue though.
Why take so much time to review? Possibilities are - More applications, More 'interesting' applications, or changes in the AdCom or their procedures (for which we have no signs available).

Anyway, given the trend, it seems they have rec'd many more applications - which makes it harder to get in, but more fun.

Just got done with the KF interview. It was very very conversational.

My interviewer was John Hughes and I found that he has been asking the same questions to all candidates for a while now.
So if anyone is interviewing with him, definitely prepare the below questions well.

1) Place that I belong to (hometown) what it has taught me?
2) Why this undergrad college?
3) Why Information Technology?
4) Give me 2 qualities that you think your manager will describe you with and that will help you succeed at a business school.
5) A feedback your manager has given you?
6) What do you enjoy most about your job?
7) Have you traveled overseas for your job?
8) What do you want to do right after your MBA?
9) Proudest achievement at work
10) Don’t tell me your GMAT score, but I want to ask you a question, are you happy with it and does it show your potential to succeed at business school?
11) Why Kenan-Flagler? (make sure you have a lot of points prepared for this one!)
12) Any questions for me.


Good luck to the candidates who are yet to be interviewed.
Hope this helps! :)

When did you submit application (guessing Jan Round)?
When did you get interview invite and if possible what was the last date available on it?

I have heard that KF is interviewing candidates till 7th March, and decision on 13th March. Thus is it possible to discuss all interviewed candidates in a week, or they have already done that for previously interviewed candidates ( Just curious. This wait is driving me crazy)

Do you think anyone other than adcom would have this information? :) Chill, admissions always has been a black box. I wish they tried actively to make it more transparent though, for example, by sharing timely updates. Also, I believe that the last date for interviewing was March 1st, where did you get to hear that March 7th is the last date?

Thank you for the information.

Good luck!

Yeah.
I'd be mentally ready for the worst and keep the hope alive in heart!!!

Let's be realistic here. We haven't heard anything so far. Unless they don't find any good students and many admits don't matriculate, what chances are there for new invites? That too, so close to the notification date?
Never give up a great strategy and must be there, but sometimes it is better to accept it.
