honestly not sure. Otherwise just cough up the 150 dollars. Probably the cheapest fee among the any Top 20 school. Also they literally had a million online admissions events starting august so its not like they didnt give you a chance

I feel this depends on the school. I can see them trying to get ahead of the curve and starting to do reviews earlier so that it’s not mad house but it usually is a madhouse 😂

Usually when it comes to interview invites, they don’t do a full application review. There’s just no way. Also, if they had done the reviews, then they would not have to wait all the way until December to release the decisions. A quick review for interview invites and then a full review after the interview before the decisions.

I can also see them doing full reviews for some folks and cursory reviews for others.

For example, you may get high score and strong brands on the résumé. That’s a winning combination.

Then you have someone with a low score great experience they have to dig in more to see if they’re going to take a risk on that person. You also may have someone who has a high score but a really shallow profile so they have to dig in deeper to evaluate the quality of the profile before they waste their time interviewing them and other folks have a horrible profile and horrible score

Applied for UNC in R1.
I have 5 years of consulting Work Experience.
Good Scores in Graduation(From Tier 2 College in India)
What are my chances of getting in UNC? I have not given GMAT ?
You can update the colleges you are applying to in the decision tracker and via that you can also request a free evaluation of your profile. I highly recommend that you do that. You will get a better response there instead of here. :)

Hi everyone
While mentioning awards and community activities, do we need to also give a brief description of it, or mentioning the activity is sufficient?

When mentioning awards and community activities, it is generally advisable to provide a brief description of each. Simply listing the activities or awards may not convey their significance or the impact they had.

Hey folks, I currently work with a UNC KF alum who happens to be an individual admissions consultant. Wanted to give him a shout out because of the extent of quality advice he’s given me across my R1 applications. If you feel like you need a consultant who also knows what the UNC culture is about, just let me know on DM

Just got an email from UNC that they have extended the deadline by 3 days from 8th to 11th. Interesting.

Quote:
We extended our Full-Time MBA application to 11:59 p.m. EST on October 11 so that you can submit your application to be considered in Round 1.

As a reminder, we consider all applicants for fellowships – no extra forms, essays, or recommendation letters needed. Submit your application to be considered!

Hi,

I have a silly question.
Is it necessary to put the essay prompt in the response? Does it not impact the word count by mistake?
