Calling all Fisher (Ohio State) Applicants:(2017 Intake) Class of 2019

Hi everyone,
I had my interview yesterday with Julee Conrad. The interview covered the basic questions such as walk me through your resume, why mba, why fisher, leadership style with example, hobbies and interests etc. I was informed the they'll get back within 2 weeks. Can anyone share the process going forward?
Will there be a second interview?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Congratulations for your interview invite. Generally, there are 2 rounds, one with adcom and other with career services. You should hear from them next week or sometime soon.
Regards.

Thanks Souvilibra. How was your interview experience with Career Services like?

Hi Nik,

I just got the same email on financial status and all. How did it go after you got yours?

Your interview with career services will a be straight forward one with your usual questions about why MBA, goals etc. It's more like an informal chat but it's always best to be prepped for any of these general questions.

Funding info will follow within 2 weeks. It's a separate email from the program director.

Hi everyone,
i interviewed on Feb 23 with adcom and they said they'll revert within 1-2 weeks.
On Mar 3, I got a letter in the portal saying :
"The Fisher College of Business Full - Time MBA Admission Committee has reviewed your application for the Full - Time MBA program. The committee has decided to review your application among a larger pool of applicants and defer a final decision at this time. Your application will be re-evaluated every 6-8 weeks and you will be informed should your application status change. All final decisions will be made by May 31." Does this mean i'm waitlisted? Not sure what this means for my chances of getting an admit. Can anyone share their thoughts on this? It'll really help me a lot.

Hi,
I am afraid to say ,but yes you are waitlisted. If you want to convert the wait list into an admit, keep the adcoms posted about your recent endeavors, bolstering your candidature.
I was in the same boat. Ping me if you need any help in this regard.

Got the mail on funding today!! Still stunned and excited!!!!

Got an interview invite. Is it really true that there is no disadvantage for doing a Skype interview as opposed to the in person interview? Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Hi there, congrats on that! A lot of insight available, email me for details greg.yavrumyan@gmail.com

Hi All,

I received the same message about the recommended admission and the financial review process must be approved before official admission release. I guess it means that I don't get any scholarship, right? Anyone who actually received that message in previous rounds can help confirm? I personally don't think it is a format for all int'l students, looks like it is customized for some without scholarship.
Plus, I only had one interview with Adcom, the 2nd interview with CMC is yet to come. Really confused.

Thanks everyone!

Good news my friend!!!

It is actually the format for all admitted international students!! But I know exactly how you feel, because I felt the same way!!

To allay your fears, here is how mine went.

1. 10th Feb- Interview invite!
2. 21st Feb- Interviewed
3. 2nd March- Admission notification (same message you got....financial review bla bla for formal admission)
4. 10th March- Scholarship notification (still stunned on the amount)
5. 16th March- First update on financial review (provides information on the balance you need to make available after deduction of scholarship)

So relax..good news may still be on the way!!! I also had one interview with adcom!!!

Regards.

Accepted!

Now I am waiting to receive the official email and to know if I have any scholarship!

Congratulations BrunoP You will get the scholarship e mail in a week's time from your official admitted date. So, brace yourself and may the force be with you

Thanks keats

I am just afraid because I need to answer Rotman and Michigan next week, so I need to receive and early answer regarding scholarship.
Do you know if Fisher can help me with that?
