I gave my interview yesterday. It was a Skype interview. It was kind of conversational but she did have her questions prepared and at times was just asking them instead of picking up things from the conversation. The only issue I found was that it lasted for just 20 minutes. I will share a debrief soon.

Same. It didn't feel conversational at all as the interviewer had specific set of questions in place. Apart from some small talk, she stuck to the script. Don't know if that's a good sign or not. My interview lasted for around 40 minutes but that was maybe because my answers were a little long. Again don't know if that's good or bad.

Is there any tip to evaluate if the interview went well or not? I feel since there is no metric to compare it with, it gets hard to learn from one interview so as to be better at the next once since you don't know only where you were good or made mistakes.

I heard an Indian Female with a 620 got a call. Is something up with Foster? I heard they were pretty strict about their GMAT score?

How is everyone's financial planning going on btw? Any insight from admitted students into where/how to take loans? And what is the average loan amount that people take?

I will have to take a loan for everything apart from around 20000/25000 USD that I have saved. This probably means a loan of around 150000-200000 USD. Is this a lot from what others have in plan/really stupid to take considering the risk/impossible to get this kind of amount?

Quick question: Is anyone else also waiting for the interview invite for R2? I am getting anxious now!

I also don't know how to feel about my interview. She had prepared questions, but even though practiced, my head still felt so discombobulated. I felt like I was talking way too fast and it's genuinely because I was excited to be there. I hope it came off as enthusiasm and not a blabbering mess. :-\. It went about 40 mins.....very friendly and warm, but definitely not very telling in discerning which way the conversation was going.

I submitted my application on Jan9. Few days later, I was asked for medium of instruction certificate even though my transcripts and degree were in English. Getting the certificate was tedious and time consuming so I gave Toefl and submitted my scores. Unfortunately, this entire process took 1 month because of back n forth emails and toefl date availability. I was confirmed by Rachel that my application was complete on Feb15. And I haven’t received interview invite yet. Should I consider that as a ding

I had mine on the 21st, so not too early, but I'm ready to find out! I am finding out from one other school today, but will have to wait another 3 weeks before my husband and I can start weighing options.

I see in past years, they've notified accepted candidates a week early, but there's no reason to believe this is set in stone. Just with any office, they're not a machine and will notify people when they're good and ready. That being said.......this is agonizing.

I'm so anxious I think I might die -- I don't know if I want it to be tomorrow or the decision date... We'll see if I sleep tonight (I envy those who are 12+ hours ahead of the US)
