Emory 2012 - Calling All Applicants

hi all

i logged into opus ans it says Evaluative Interview. I am confused do i set up this interview or is it by invitation. Regarless its too late to ask for an interview.

has anyone got any news on admission into Emory without interview ?

cheers

GBS also started following me on twitter, and I had not followed them first. So is this a good sign that they are researching me? I hope so! Also when I logged into OPUS my to do list only had 2 items : essay, and GMAT. They both said initiated. Does anyone else have transcripts, and application on their list too? They should have everything. I'm a little worried they did not receive my mailed information.

Also a reply to the earlier message. If you look at their stats they list % of applicants accepted that interviewed, as 100%. This is a guarantee that you must be interviewed to be accepted into their program.

Guys, if there are any students of Goizueta here, can you in a conversation with me share your experience? I would be glad to receive a couple of questions answered via skype

So they sent out an email stating that the checklist on OPUS is now up to date. However my list still only has two items on it: Gmat Scores, and Essays. They both say initiated. Does that mean they have received it? Also why aren't they showing payment, application, transcripts, and interview? I interviewed already back in October. I paid for the application fee a day before. I also sent my transcripts with my unofficial gmat scores. If they are saying gmat scores they must have received my package. Should I email them and find out about this or wait?

OmanguitoO : Those items shown on your checklist in OPUS are outstanding. You will need to send your official GMAT scores and essays to the school. Upon receipt of those items, the Admissions Office will update your checklist and take them off the list. Are you a R3 applicant? If so, you need to provide the information to the school latest by Monday, Feb 6, so as to be in time for R3. Else, you will be moved to the next round....R4 !

Thank you! I am a round 3 applicant. I'm received an confirmation email from the testing center that they sent the score report to Goizueta's office on January 30th. I also emailed Goizueta the essays, plus an unofficial gmat score report, although with a confirmation email of it being sent to their offices. I hope this is enough to confirm that they did in fact receive my gmat scores. I definitely do not want to be pushed to the next round.

I'd be glad to take some questions if you post on this thread. Chances are your questions are similar to others, so I think it's best they remain public.

Only 3 more days, guys!!! I am tensed already!

I'm an international applicant too, applied in R2. Had my interview on 23rd Jan. It was with Kate Piasecki, Associate Director Admissions.

It was through Windows Live Meeting... The interview started at scheduled time and started well, when suddenly i couldn't see the video of admissions director... i told this to her, but as she was able to see mine so we continued.. In short, I gave whole interview watching a blank screen

Overall it was a casual conversation. Questions asked in given order were:-

1) How you decided to pursue your under-graduation in Electronics and Communication?
2) Favorite course in Engineering?
3) How you got your first job?
4) Reason for change to 2nd job?
5) for 3rd job?
6) Why from perm to contract (in Singapore -- overseas)?
7) Are you a risk taker? Will you join any firm in any country?
8) Why 4th job?
9) What is your role here? What projects you are working on recently?
10) Challenges leading a global team?
11) Why MBA?
12) Why Emory?
13) Where you would like to do internship?
14) Considering the US scene right now, what if you don't get the job/internship here?
15) two more questions (not able to recall )

In the end asked if you have any question to ask. I had one and asked that.

After the interview only one suggestion:Please be thorough with ur profile.

justify each action you have mentioned in your resume. Just cover the why, how and what aspect for each point in your resume. So, look at all your achievements, certificates, ur job changes and give good justification for all.

My OPUS says :

Interview : Initiated

What does tht mean ?

I applied in round 2 in december.. kinda losing hope now. No interview calls..

Hello dhrupadk,

It doesn't mean anything if you had not requested for an on-campus interview (self-initiated) before the round deadline. I had asked the same question to the adcom before and they replied not to read too much into it. All interviews post the round deadline are initiated by the adcom.

Even I submitted my application for Round 2 and still waiting for an invite. I learnt that my GMAT score could be a disadvantage as I come from the over represented pool of applicants. But, still hoping for the best. Waiting for an opportunity to be interviewed.

R2 decisions are out on OPUS.
I got dinged. I kind of expected this result as I did not get any interview invite. Yet, there was this tiny little hope of getting waitlisted which would give me a chance to submit additional documentation.

Congrats to all those who got in! Good Luck to waitlisted candidates!

waitlisted

Any tips how can I improve my chances.. I desperately need some

Where do you see the results in OPUS? ..My status still says "Interview Initiated". I applied in R2
