Re: Simon (U of Rochester) 2013 - Calling All MBA Applicants [#permalink]
Hey everyone,

Kindly suggest:

2 year program at Desautels, McGill (Canada) or 18 Month accelarated program at Simon, Rochester (US)?

Keeping tuition Cost equal at both the schools.

I am concerned about the missing the internship part at Simon :(

Any thoughts about this, please share!

Appreciate your help.

Thanks!

Hello Everybody,

For those who have been shorlisted/admitted to the 18 month Accelerated MBA. Could you please share some information about how the interview was? Does the application assign high weight-age to GMAT Score and/or GPA?
How important are LOR's and Essay(s).

Thanks :)

I surmise admission committee gives equal weightage to your GMAT and GPA.
Your application should be balanced with respect to your GMAT+GPA+WorkEx+Extra Curriculars.
Don't you worry about single stuff, you can trade off with good performance in other evaluation parameters.
If you still have concerns,I would rather say shoot admission committee a mail or ask Marketing prof in this forum.
They are very quick to respond and helpful too.
LOR's and Essays are very important, only if they are good you will get an interview call.
Interview should be a breeze if you are quiet confident about yourself and you know the work that you have done.

I've been invited to interview next month (Jan, 2014).

Anyone know what percent of interviewees get offers?
