Wake Forest 2012 - Calling All Applicants

Well I was going to take a shot at Tuck as my stretch school, but I didn't do as well on the GMAT as I anticipated. I was in particular looking for good schools that were good values, especially when looking at A&M (who I interviewed with), Wake Forest (who I interviewed with on Wed) and BYU (will 2nd round apply if Wake doesn't work out).

I was referred to Wake by family friend who is a Wake MBA grad. It was interesting since wake was on the list of schools I was looking at for my MBA before due to its spectacular job placements and hearing about the program from a former student made my mind up to apply. I loved the campus there and I think the interview went great. If accepted with $ I would most likely attend Wake. If I'm not accepted I will take round 2 shots at Broad (MSU), Marriot (BYU), and U of Illinois.

Good stuff, yeah I would agree the job placement is crazy at Wake, and the campus and people are awesome. Right now I'm having a hard time because I have been accepted to the evening program and I live in Durham, i.e. I would have a 1.5hr drive (One Way) two nights a week.

Good luck on the applications!

Just to update I was admitted into the Full-Time program and I decided to matriculate. Just placed the deposit, I really fell in love with the campus while I was there. FYI, for those who didn't know, they are currently building a brand new business building which will be done in time for the class of 2014's second year.

Congrats! The new business building looks to be pretty awesome

Hi all,

I have an interview scheduled with Wake Forest next week.
Please help me with the interview questions.

Hello,

I hate to sound generic here, but they will have a lot of the "general" questions you'll see out of a b-school, why mba now? What separates you from other candidates? What are you plans after b-school? Why Wake Forest? Don't forget to read up on the other stand questions some as well; give me a time when etc. type of questions.

They have some good feedback from other students that have interviewed.

During my interview we pretty much ran down my resume and spent a large portion of the time tying my previous experience to what my future job goals are. They are very invested in helping their MBA students find employment. I put my deposit down a couple weeks ago and they already have me doing stuff to get prepped for the job search.

Hey all,

The interview went very well!
It was with Kevin and I was extremely comfortable throughout.
The Adcom has now asked for my WES evaluation which itself costs about 160$.
Is the WES a mandatory thing for non-US undergrads or can I ask them to waive it?
Please share your experiences and opinions.

Thanks.

Hello Guys,

Hi Everyone,

I already had my interview with Wake Forest later last month but now I got an e-mail where-in the Career management services head Mr. Guy Groff has asked me to attend a discussion with him.

I am not sure what to make out of this additional interview. Can anyone please let me know if he/she went through a similar process?

Desperately waiting for a reply (have the interview scheduled for today). Wish me luck.

Thanks
