Congrats to all of who were admitted!!

I had my interview yesterday on-campus. It was an unseasonably cold weekend in Chapel Hill (they are expecting snow this week!). My interview was with John Hughes . John was really friendly and put me at ease right away. I think it helps that these interviews are not supposed to be stress interviews. The questions asked were: 1. Tell me where in India did you grow up. 2. Why did you select your Engg specialization (I am a Production Engineer) 3. If you had a chance to go back and complete your education again, would you select the same school? 4. Tell me about your extra curricular involvement and if you have any leadership experience in those in school or college? 5. How did you get your first job? (I chose not to join the IT company I was recruited to) 6. Tell me about your growth in the current company. 7. What would your manager say - your strengths were? your weakness? 8. Short term goal and long term goal. Any specific companies that you would like to join after MBA? 9. Why KFBS? 10. Some conversation around my pro bono consulting work. Also, I have a low GMAT score - was asked what I am doing to change that? John did not have access to my GMAT score but he asked if I was happy with it and I told him I was not. He did recommend that anyone not within the median scores for KFBS should try to get in that range and if you are in the range, try to be in the middle rather than the lower end. He also said that GMAT does not help differentiate people who have a standard good profile. **Disclaimer**

WOW, that's super cool! Congrat

I was messaged about this, so I thought I would share with everyone. I received a full tuition fellowship, which is why I got a call earlier this week. Good luck to everyone on Monday!!! I hope to see a lot of you at Experience Weekend. For those of you who haven't heard about this, it's a weekend on UNC campus where you learn all about what Kenan-Flagler has to offer. This year it's April 11-12. Check it out: https://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/admitt ... ce-weekend . That's where we all meet each other before we start next fall!!

I received an email saying that my application was missing an item. However, when I logged into the application it said my application was complete. I emailed KF about it, but haven't heard back yet. Has this happened to anyone else?

If they need anything from you, they will email you. Don't worry! Kenan-Flagler always works with its applicants. If you are still concerned, you can email Sharon Moore . I emailed her to update my GMAT scores, and she responded same day...twice. Keep in mind that results are released in less than a week, so they are swamped. I spoke to admissions on Tuesday, and all staff are in full-day meetings all week. If you do email, keep it short and to the point. That will get you a response as quickly as possible. Use bullets for multiple questions. (That tactic got me a same day response from adcom on Tuesday.) Good luck on Monday!
