Goizueta (Emory) - Calling All 2013 MBA Applicants

You should just chill out. You had an interview which means that the Adcom liked you application in the first place. From what I understand the interview is not blind (the interviewer has read your file previously) and hence they may not ask detailed questions on work-ex or academia, unless you have something glaring in your profile that they may want clarify on. Plus a lot depends on the interviewer themselves, so you can't read a lot into that.

The results are 5 days away, I would suggest just stop thinking about it and worry on Friday, not before that as you can't really do anything about it in anycase. Maybe speak to some current students to show your interest in GBS, but other than that just sit tight and keep your fingers crossed.

I was told that your application/essay review and interview are conducted by separate members of AdCom fwiw.

Hi Xiangxder, I won't see it as a negative sign. Are you also applying from China? I got my interview few weeks ago too, and it was quite some standarded plus few behavioral questions. The conversation went well, but I got no reply to my thank you email later on, so I guess it's hard to predict. Just chill out and relax. We will find out the result in just 4 days, hopefully with calls.

hi, TJ, nice to see you here and thank you for your reply. I think we are probably on the same boat, good luck to both of us!! btw, I had also applied Darden but haven't received a ding or interview invite yet till now. I saw your darden status is a D, so i guess you probably had received a definite notification from Darden, right?? so, well, do you think i should still waiting for the invite or just let it go?? personally, i tried to put it into a negative answer..again, haha!! well, thanks again and finger crossed for us!!

yeah, very stressful days, my friend in India, thanks for your words. and good luck to all of us!!

You should never give up, but you might want to think about casting your net a bit wider and applying to some other schools in the final round if you've only applied to Darden and Goizueta. Marshall, Kelley, McDonough and Mendoza are all pretty much Goizueta's peer schools and have deadlines on or after March 15. (I'm not sure if you might have visa issues coming from China and applying so late) I think Mendoza in particular is pretty low on international students so it could work in your favour.

Hi Xiangxder, I applied Darde R1 in a rush, so my case may not be applicable to yours, but so far I would say no interview is definitely not a good sign.
Back to Emory - I heard AO will start to call admitted students a bit earlier than the actually decision date. If lucky, we can expect a call or email by 15th morning China time, according to what happened to R1/2 admitted.
Good luck to all R3 international applicants!

To TJ83, applicant in the States has received R3 admission. the party is started!!!
btw, any difference or updates in your opus status??
none in mine...
i have been so stressful recently that i just couldn't get focused on my work!!...

Xiangder, I didn't get any update on OPUS either. I guess it didn't come to Chinese pool yet. Relax....

Hi, out of curiosity where did you see this?

Guys did you get any update on the status??
I am too from India, looks like many of us didn't get call, does that mean we can hope for an interview invite even after the DD??

I've been refreshing my Opus every 20 minutes for the past 48 hours...

I have been refreshing OPUS as well since Monday and I have not gotten a different message other than "Your admission decision is not available at this time. Please check your Admission To Do list for remaining application requirements. If all application materials have been received, check your school's website for decision release dates or for decision timeframes. Thank you for your interest in Emory University."

I also have not received an email or phone call. It looks like they might be waiting until tomorrow to release decisions.

Got the e-mail from Goizueta. I'm in! $$, but amount not specified.

2-yr FullTime.

Best of luck guys

I am in! International student. Email - no call!

So happy! best of luck to EVERYONE!

In @ 1-year program! I applied to both (one year being the first choice) and havn't received the decision regarding the 2-year program yet. Email notification. I'm an international applicant residing in Goergia now.

So does anyone receive the 2-year decision yet?

My OPUS account says I'm waitlisted and then I get an email saying I'm accepted. A quick check with the adcom confirmed that I have indeed been accepted into the 2 year program, with $$.

But oh man, I wish I hadn't logged onto OPUS before I saw that acceptance mail . Horrible way to get your first acceptance.
Anyhoo, good luck to all!
