Still waiting to hear from them

Posted from my mobile device

Same here mate. Applied in R2 .. no words so far!

Same here. My mind says its over, but my heart says wait, its not over yet.
May be they are processing the applications in the order in which people have submitted their applications or some other P&C. But still it is not over as yet. But I am worried.

I think there are still processing all the applications. I applied to Olin on the 1st of October while I interviewed on the 25th of November and got the result (accepted) on the 5th of Dec. Lets not lose hope, moreover its holiday season now their manpower must be running thin. Lets give them another 15-20 days.

Are the interview invites seriously over? I highly doubt it. Seen some invites sent over in the first week of Jan last year.

I got an interview invite last night! This came as an extremely pleasant surprise as I was starting to believe that I have been dinged.

Nevertheless, I am still a bit concerned. I have been asked to schedule an interview within 24-Jan, but I guess the final decision date for R2 is 20-Jan.

It would be great if someone could shed some light over this matter. :-)

Also, this is the very 1st MBA interview I will be attending, EVER!! :-P So, some amount of guidance regarding questions, attitude and basic tips will be immensely appreciated.

P.S. - Indian, residing in India.

Congrats! They do cut it pretty close don't they? Will you be visiting the campus? I had my interview last week and it was also my first b-school interview. Overall, it was a nice experience. I interviewed with Kate Piasecki and she was very friendly. The first few minutes were just ice-breakers about the weather and my trip to campus (I'm in the U.S.). The actual interview was pretty basic stuff about why I want an MBA, questions about my work experience and undergraduate experience. One thing I noticed was that she was really good at asking follow-up questions based on an answer you just gave. For example, she asked about a group project I completed in college and I mentioned a team member who didn't do much work. Her next question was how did I motivate the team. This happened a few times and I thought it made the conversation very fluid.

For preparation, I wrote down talking points for potential question topics like leadership, teamwork, work under stress, etc. I tried to have 2-3 examples for each and I thought that worked out pretty well. I feel like as long as you took the application process seriously you'll have good answers for the questions. Also, right after the interview I found a place to sit down and took notes about her questions, any responses I could have improved upon, and any nervous mannerisms I might have shown. As this was my first interview, I wanted to use it as a learning experience.

This is just one experience from a new interviewee and I'm in the states, so I can't speak about remote interviews. There were no big surprises and the interviews are basically just a way for them to hear you explain your application verbally. Good luck!
