Hey JarvisR ,
I am good , thanks a lot for your inputs.

I have some doubts regarding my application. It would be great if you can provide some info on this .
I am applying to full time mba program in R2.
1) What should be length for recommendation letter ? i mean in terms of word or characters
2) What should be length for Primary essay too ? Is only primary essay only required for UConn full time mba or any other essay also there?

Thanks :)

Wish you a very a very happy and joyous new year !
IMO yes, if you have a good profile and can impress them in interview :)
What I have realized that along with GMAT they give preference to experience.

Hi Jarvis,

I have submitted the application on 23th January and asked ETS and MBA team to send the Toefl and GMAT official score to Connecticut.
The application status is incomplete as it is showing missing documents.

Hi All,

I met UConn Director of Admissions Meg at The MBA Tour NY held on January 30th 2016. She was very warm and provided great insights about the program and college. I am in for Round 2. Wanted to know about interview questions from the admitted students . How long did it take to get an interview invite and after interview how long did it take to get the decisions. Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I'm a first round admit and I'm seeing lots of questions around how long it will take to hear back from UCONN. My advice is to exercise patience and continue to prepare yourself for other interviews that you may have. Keep yourself busy and perhaps study up on economics and statistics to really keep yourself occupied.

I look forward to seeing when everyone hears back so post your results!

I have got an electronic mailer from UConn last night stating that my application is complete and is under review.

Note: This happened when I sent them an e mail regarding my Official GMAT score as the application the portal was not updated.
