How about that...there are already 100 posts on this thread. Not bad considering it has only been up a few weeks. It's nice to see Rice gaining some traction on this website.

Nice. I have been on GMAT Club for a while. Was in hibernation for a year during my GMAT days. I use to get frustrated coz there was no single thread to find Rice people. You could find few Rice aspirants under different schools, especially UT. Now we have a Rice thread and a decent number of people who have either been accepted or in the process of applying.

Not yet. I was told by my interviewer that I would probably hear before the deadline though... So I'm hoping maybe we find out early to mid next week ?

The interview went great. I think I really clicked with the interviewer.

I also attended a class which was a nice experience. Unfortunately they did not mention anything about a decission date, so I figure I'll have to wait untill the 18.

For round one I got mine the Wednesday before the deadline, so you guys could be looking at just one more week. Keep your phones close and good luck all!

I am also curious to know whether anyone was interviewed by someone other than a current student?

Interviewed yesterday with a 1st year student. Standard questions - walk me through your resume, leadership accomplishment, conflicting situation, why MBA, why Rice and ask me any question.

1/10 application done
1/27 interview invite email

2/1 Lolita called and asked if I could come in the next day
(I would have preferred a bit more time to prepare, but I wanted to appear flexible and the upside was I didn't have a week to get too freaked out about it)

2/2 Interviewed with a 2nd year student

Nervous and waiting for the decision like everyone else!

My interview seemed ok - conversational/candid.

10 minutes of resume rundown (I've started 2 health care businesses - had to explain what the companies did, etc. This part took longer than I would have liked)

10 minutes of "why MBA?, Why Rice? Why now?" - again- conversational, he interjected with what he liked about the program, trips he has gone on with the program, etc.

He then asked if I had any questions for him- I joked "no strengths and weaknesses or team and leadership questions?" and he laughed and replied that he "hated those types of questions"

10 minutes of conversation/ my questions for him regarding career in strategy/management consulting and student life.

Fingers are crossed!

It sounds like the interview went well. I can't believe they called you and asked you to come in the next day. Seems a bit disorganized on their part. I'm guessing you live in the area.

Way to "roll with the punches", though. It's commendable that you were basically called in out of nowhere, showed up as asked, and did a good job.

Best of luck this week.
