I really recommend this program. Interviewed couple of MSPM candidates for PM intern and loved the capabilities they bring to the table.

I am MBA alum from Tepper - 2017.

Hi guys,

Is anyone done with the interview? Can you post what kind of questions were asked?
And how to prepare for the interview?
Any idea how many candidates were shortlisted for interview and how many will get an admit from interview?

Nikhil · Answer

powarparamveer The following interviews are for the fulltime MBA program but I guess they can provide some guidance on how the interviews may be. https://gmatclub.com/forum/tepper-205/i ... brief.html

powarparamveer · Answer

Hi guys,

Is everyone done with their interviews? How was the experience?
Also, does anyone has any idea about the employment details of MSPM program? Which companies recruit, average compensation and % of students placed?
I tried to find this information but Tepper publishes report only for the conventional 2 year MBA.

Hi,

Did anyone get an acceptance or rejection mail from MSPM?

Aastha2807 · Answer

Hey guys! Just got the acceptance letter on my login. Sorry for not replying earlier. Surprisingly, I did not get notified on new posts on this thread.

powarparamveer · Answer

Hi Aastha, Congratulations!!! Even I got the acceptance letter just now. Are you planning to join the program? Can we get in touch? Is there any whatsapp group for this program?

powarparamveer · Answer

Hi KinjiGC,

I got acceptance offer for MSPM today. Would you really recommend this program to someone trying to get into PM role? I really like this program but I am little bit concerned as it is a new program and I don't know how employers see this program. Do students(especially foreign) get a job easily after graduation? Currently, there are no employment statistics available for this program. I even checked CMU website.

Aastha2807 · Answer

Hi, yes I will be joining in all likelihood. We can make a whatsapp group once we have more participants in the forum..

powarparamveer · Answer

That's great. Even I would be joining the program. But I am not able to communicate with other people who have got admits to form a whatsapp group.

Good to see a dedicated thread for MS PM. Looking at the popularity of MS PM program on forum, we have added it in our database so that applicants can add it to their profiles, making it easy to track application updates of applicants.

Tracker has been installed in the first post. You guys can  add this program to your profiles  (I've done that for few users) so that tracker could capture your app updates.
