Hi all,

I just got an interview invite but only have a 2 week time frame for my interview (the next 2 weeks). At the same time the 2nd week, I have an interview for Harvard, and was thinking about interviewing with Cornell next week. Do you think a week of interview prep is sufficient? I actually have not interview for an MBA yet. Thanks

Hi all,

At the same time the 2nd week, I have an interview for Harvard, and was thinking about interviewing with Cornell next week. Do you think a week of interview prep is sufficient?

Congrats! I think a week should be sufficient.

It'd be good to practice with a friend or family member. Perhaps someone that doesn't know "your story" or your intentions for an MBA all that well. I'd suggest making sure that you can succinctly and accurately portray your work experience and explain the "Why MBA, Why now" questions.

Lastly, you can look around on this thread and on the forum for some of the other questions they might ask you. Like "tell me a time when..." you had to deal with a difficult co-worker, disagreed with your boss, had to influence a large group of people, or lead a team to achieve some difficult goal.

There's a lot of examples of these questions and other typical interview questions on the forum and on the web in general. I think the best advice would be to relax and remember it's should be approached as a friendly conversation with a potential future classmate or colleague and they simply want to get to know you better.

Hi pdl0312,

Congrats to you as well. Yes I see that status has been changed. As per my discussion with adcoms, I learnt that the status change may reflect in another 24 hrs. You may want to check again tomorrow.

I think most of the R2 invites so far has been for 1-Yr MBA. I guess the invites will all flow in last day. Anyone has idea how they sent interview invites in R1 or last year?

In R1 all of the invites went out on the initial notification deadline. I guess they didn't wait to start the R2's, but at least there's still a decent amount of time before the initial notification deadline for R2.

Don't give up hope! There's still more time. I'm guessing it's taking them longer to go through applications this round because of the greater number of applications this round compared to others.

Hey,

How much time after the application submission did you get the interview call ? also did you get the initial notification as per the deadline ?
