Great to see you guys here! I submitted my application two weeks back!

I am a re-applicant. I applied way back in 2015, with 3 years of experience. I was surprisingly invited for an interview and was eventually placed on a waiting list. They eventually choose someone with a higher experience than me. It was heartbreaking, but that's life. Hoping for the best this year! Let's keep each other company and help out.

Hey there DragonJK. How did you know SDM chose someone with greater experience than you? Was the AdCom that open & transparent with you or did you find out through other means? Just curious.

No. After the first round results were out, we knew the decisions. The ones wait listed and admitted. And my fellow friend who was wait listed along with me got admitted, I made my conclusions fairly. We had very similar backgrounds and scores, except the work experience

Ah, I see. Well that makes sense. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hey there all

Any word from Admissions for interviews? I suspect that won't go out for another week but many people applied a while ago, so there is a slight chance some will hear about an interview early.

My fingers are still crossed!

Does anybody know the % of interviewed candidates who are typically accepted? I assume that there was a lot of filtering already given the notices that have already been sent out.

Thanks.

Got an interview invite as well. Replied back with a preference for a skype interview but have not heard back with date/time slot.

Has anyone been given an interview slot yet?

As per blogs from previous years , Two interview questions appear to be consistent

1. Why SDM and why now ?

2. How do you manage conflicts ?

I think these questions are mainly to check the program fit.

Thank you. Very useful information.

Does anybody know the % of students who are interviewed who are admitted?

I recently finished mine. Exactly what you said. It took roughly 45 minutes and it was really a "getting to know" rather than "how much you know". Needless to say, you still have to know much, you know? :grin:
