Hi All,

Any chance of getting interview invite now?
Really starting to worry now.

Hi All - for the letters of recommendation, it looks like the recommendations are submitted after the application is submitted. Does anyone know whether these can be submitted after the deadline? If so, how long after can they be submitted? Any experiences people can share?

Thanks!

If you're talking about the part in the personal info. section that states, "Immediately Post MBA," it's asking for 140 "alphabets", if you want to call it that. It includes the number of letters, spaces, and punctuation symbols. For example, my response here was 220 characters, including spaces.

Round 2 Interview Invitations may be received as soon as next week after the Round deadline, however there will be a lull in application review throughout the holiday season.

Hi ,

See there any Indian who applied to R1 without TOEFL score and got a call? Please reply asap as based on the reply I would plan to apply in R2
The website doesn't lists India in the list of countries whose applicants can waive Toefl
Btw I belong to an institute where the mode of teaching is English

Thanks

Live Essay Writing Workshop, presented by Admissionado

Sigh. The MBA Application essays. Who thought it was a good idea to ask people to write 2000 words before they even get INTO school? Turns out, it doesn’t matter, because someone did… and now you have to come up with the most compelling and memorable essays about leadership that you can. And then do it again for every school you apply to.

It’s not easy, but this upcoming event should help. Submit your MBA Application essay to have an opportunity to have it reviewed for free by the team at Admissionado. Three essays will be selected, and if you are one of the lucky ones, you will have the opportunity to go through your essay with Phillip Herring (admissions expert and CBS MBA) in a live session. You will need to be OK with sharing your essay with attendees (don’t worry – we’ll keep your name/private info out of it), and available and online at the time of the event to chat it up with Phillip. Even if you aren’t selected, listen in, because there will still be plenty of essay advice to go around.

Submit your essay to lauren@admissionado.com by Monday, December 3. You will find out if you are selected by Wednesday, December 5. Then join the live event on Thursday, December 6 at 6pm PST. Register Now [FREE!]

Hi everyone. I'm going to apply today, 3rd of December, one day before 2nd round deadline, and wanted to ask if any one knows when they will start sending invitations for the interview.

Thanks in advance

This might be a silly question but did anyone make a Pinterest account and 'create a board labeled “Why the Texas MBA is for me?”'?. I have never used Pinterest so before I start Pinteresting things I wanted to see what the general consensus was about this creative little twist at the end of the application.

Yes, the second essay can illustrate a personal or professional story, just be sure that whichever store you choose, it clearly answers the prompt and in the most descriptive way possible. It is also a way for the Admissions Committee to see how you intend to use your time while in school and then after you have received the degree. You are correct in that there is no "right" way to approach each question - just be sure you clearly answer each prompt.

We very much encourage your participation in this activity! In no way will your pinterest board be used as an evaluation criteria alongside your application, however it just a fun way we would like to connect with our applicants.
