Calling all Wisconsin (Madison) Applicants:(2017 Intake) Class of 2019

I interviewed with someone from the Real Estate center. I don't know if anyone else here is looking for that same specialization. Here are the general formats to the questions that might come up for anyone...to the best of my recollection:

1) Why an MBA...and why Wisconsin?
2) Where do you want to work upon completion of your MBA?
2) Tell me about how you marketed yourself for your previous jobs. How would you market yourself during recruiting?
3) What are your short term and long term professional goals?
4) Aside from knowledge and industry exposure, what else do you want to gain from the Wisconsin MBA experience?
6) Do you have any questions for me?

We also talked a lot about the classes, industry exposure through the program, regional and national opportunities, and the strength of the alumni network.

EDIT - Looking back, the Wisconsin MBA admissions blog had useful insights in interview preparation and more or less telegraphed the non-industry questions (in an approximate form), so I suggest reading those. Also try to come up with good questions for them. Overall, I'd suggest trying to be calm and just be yourself. The people at Wisconsin are very nice.

Congratulations! I am still waiting for results, interviewed 10 days ago.

Is there any whatsapp group for admitted students? I am looking forward to join the program. But I am unable to connect with any of the admitted students who is going to join the program.

10 more days till the official decision date! Really hope to hear great news.

Interviewed on 2/6, received an offer with the Dean's Fellowship on 2/17. Could not be more excited!

Congrats! Which program did you apply? The marketing ones?

Oops should've mentioned: Brand and Product Management

Hi Guys ,

Can anyone please confirm Whether TOEFL and GMAT scores have to be officially reported for reviewing application for Madison ?

I havent sent official scores yet ( applied in R2 ) and my status says "in Review ".. Decision date is 4 days away and I havent got any Interview Mail yet ..

Hi PGN, I believe Yes! you need to report your original scores to the school and then they will verify the same and only then will your application be actually reviewed. This is the general procedure. You can try mailing Betsy to clarify the same.

PS - I have submitted everything and am yet to get any updates. So we are in the same boat

Any updates for the R2 applicants targetting OTM specialization? Interview emails or any updates from adcom?

Hi Kunal,

No. Sending official scores is not the general procedure at all schools. ( Rice JGSB comes to my mind) .
Its weird that the official website of Madison is silent on this.
They should have written that official scores are Needed OR should have mailed me asking to send official Scores. Anyways, My application is "IN REVIEW " status.
I am damn sure it's a ding. They take 6-7 students in OTM . So I have given up hopes on madison

I too applied for the OTM specialisation and haven't received an interview invite yet. In fact, I don't know of anyone who received an interview invite in R2.
