Hi,

Does anyone know that the interview intivation schedule?
Is there any interview invitation wave conducted by Tepper, or just case by case(means there is no specific time)?
I received the "your application is under review" confirmation letter one day ago.

Thanks.

Hey Guys! I am planning to apply to Tepper in Round 3. I know it isn't really a nice idea to apply this late. Just taking my chances. People who applied earlier... can you please let me know how many words did you fit in 1 page... Need a general idea. Thanks

They will give the full list of open interview timeslots if you are invited to interview. As far as I could tell when choosing my interview time, there weren't really any discernible "time waves" -- it was really just a matter of finding times that were still available.

Call out to anyone who has already been interviewed. Can you share some questions / your experience with the interview process? Just looking for some tips to prep myself for it.

Thanks

The silence is killing me here.. come on Tepper!!! Do something good for the R2 applicants...

Hi all,

I received an interview invite this past Monday via email. I believe they just issue the invites as they read through the applications as some people indicated having received their invite 10 days earlier. I was specifically encouraged to attend the Women at Tepper Visit Day so I scheduled my interview for then. Interestingly, my application status has not changed in the system, it just says submitted and I did not receive an email confirming that the application was under review. I wouldn't put too much meaning into it either way, maybe some admissions directors update the info and others don't?

If I find any particularly good information about the nature of the Tepper interview, I'll be sure to share.

Good luck everyone, fingers crossed!

I too received the same e-mail today and am wondering if this means that there will be no interview. Has there been any more activity on your application after this e-mail - getting invited for an interview, etc.?

I got the email today saying my application is under review. It came 8 days after my interview invitation. Realistically, I think you still have a shot for an interview until the end of February and even into March. They say you can receive an invite up until a week before the deadline actually, so you just have to keep waiting.

In terms of Tepper interview tips, here are some links that I found:

sigh... I would assume no more interview invites anymore? Looks like many of the round2 already got it...

I JUST got my interview invite literally an hour ago, so they are definitely still handing them out

Is anyone here going to the Women at Tepper MBA day in Feb?

Good news!!! Can I ask when did you submit your application? I submit my right at the round 2 deadline on Jan 3rd. So that might be the reason I hear things late...(At least I hope...)

This wait is killing me. I am (gradually becoming WAS) very hopeful of at least getting an interview invite from Tepper. I have visited the school and enjoyed my interaction with students there.

I didn't get the email that my application was complete until Monday. I now wish I *hadn't* interviewed during the "open period" so I would get some idea of whether they're interested in me before mid-March. It's a long time until 3/18/.

Hi all,

Will interview via skype be video- or call- conference? I scheduled my interview on next 2 weeks and want to know this for preparing my suit.

WOOHOO!! I got an interview invite!

Nothing at all man.. Waking up and checking the mail first thing in the morning is getting very frustrating...

congrat!! Can you please tell me when did you submit your application? i'm hoping they go through applications by that order... this wait is killing me...

had my interview last week and the people at Tepper are very nice. Interview was relaxed and very conversational. Best of luck to everyone
