Hi everyone!

I applied to round 4 of the applications last year and got in, but deferred to start in 2023 instead. My hope is to get a more substantial scholarship this year. I know the deadline for round 1 of this year is fast approaching (October 1). Let me know if anyone has any questions on their application. I'm excited to see who will be admitted and what our class is going to look like next year!

Best of luck with the interview! The Carlson admission team is super friendly and asked no trick questions. Just be prepared to answer about why you’re interested in Carlson specifically, what you hope to contribute to the school’s culture, and what you want to do after your MBA that aligns with Carlson’s values.

Just had my interview with Ad com. Nothing out of the box but given my profile, there were lot of behavioural questions on professional side, it was 30 minute session but we went on for 65 minutes. Stick to the basics, your real reason behind mba, Carlson and STEM does matter! The school specially loves innovative and analytical people. With such a small class size it all comes down to how much dynamic you are in your soft and hard skills. MBA is just a medium so your rationale behind the pursuing this path must be solid.

The last date of decisions is November 15th but it may be released before the deadline as well is what I have been told. It will include admissions offer and financial aid both.

Hello Everyone.
I think most people know that BCG and Bain conducts on campus recruitment at Carlson. However, I recently bumped into McKinsey website: https://www.mckinsey.com/careers/students which has Carlson in the list of Business Schools for on campus recruitment.
Is this a new addition to McKinsey list?

Nothing out of the regular, about you, goals, why Carlson, behavioural questions around communication, use of data etc.
