Done with the interview? How did go for everyone ? Did they tell anything about when they are gone give the decision ?


I got an email stating that the final decision will be released by Jan 15th. But going by last year's thread, we can expect first round of admits by Dec 20th.

Hi,

*keeping my fingers crossed

Hello Everyone, I've got my interview scheduled on 3rd of December. I was just wondering whether Carlson interviews all applicants or does some filtration happen at the essay stage. Any information you can provide will be helpful.

Omkarpriyank,

What I know is that interviews are by invitation only and experts or current students can speak more to that. Best of luck for your interview.

Completed my interview on the 22nd. It went very well. The questions were usual like Why MBA, Why now, challenges at work, how do you approach an obstacle, how do you present a complex topic to strangers. They have added a new section to the interview where you have to talk/present on any topic for 2-3 mins. You will be given 1 min to prepare.

Now eagerly waiting for the results

When asked at the end of the interview, I was told that the response could come much earlier than the Jan-15 official date as I am an international and I finished interview in Nov 1st week.

Has anyone here received decision/response already?

FROM Carlson(Minnesota) Admissions Blog: 4th of July + Economy
I sense fireworks in the near future. Seriously. It's the 236th celebration of our nation's independence on Wednesday, July 4th! For many of us, this holiday symbolizes freedom, fireworks, family, friends and festivities (or what I like to call the "5 F's"). And for the U.S. economy, I think we're all hoping the holiday symbolizes prosperity. However, there is concern about this year's Independence Day being an eventful holiday since it so happens to be on a Wednesday.
