Let's start the discussion and get into Kenan-Flagler this year. I applied last year but didn't hear anything. How about you all?

Hello, I wanted to schedule a Skype interview before the EA deadline. The slots are full. Did anyone face a similar situation?

I mailed the alum but he is yet to reply. If does not reply, I might have to book a Skype interview.

I just checked it and found the same. I would prefer sending an email to the Adcom and find out the solution from them. If this doesn't work out, I would prefer to have Alum interview in Mumbai.

Same here. I don't know what to do now. Moreover, Skype interview slots are also not available. Let's wait for another day and see how it goes.

Yes but as per the mail, if the alum does not reply we have to look for alternatives and all the slots are full.. It seems we have the alum interview as the only option left.

Thanks for a prompt response. I mailed the Adcom and I hope to get it done atleast before the deadline. It won't be possible for me to travel to Mumbai, so I don't have an option.

If the Alum doesn't reply n if we don't get an option for Skype interview, let's book a combined trip to Chapel hill! What say guys? Sounds fun, right? No, it doesn't Eagerly waiting for the Alum to reply. He's a CEO, so I don't know when he'll open his mail.

Well, I would love that idea provided expanses are handled by someone else. Any idea what should we do now? I am worried

Sit back n relax mate. We have done our job. If the school has provided the name of the Alum, it means the Alum volunteered for it. So let's not fret over it.
