Calling all Imperial College MBA Applicants [2020 Intake]Class of 2021

Guys is there any https://gmatclub.com/chat or some other group where accepted applicants can meet ?

If I would like to submit my application on the deadline 24 January 2020 but I'll abroad from mid of February to 28 of February, should I wait and submit application R4 with a deadline 6 March 2020?

Hi,

Can anyone please let me know what does the deadline dec'13 means for R2 application?

Can I apply to the R2 round now for imperial?

Regards,
Rishav

Hey Rish,

I'd recommend you to look into this link: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/business-sch ... deadlines/

13th December is not the application deadline, but rather the announcement of whether you're admitted or not So your next deadline would be R3, which is 24th Jan.

Hope that helps!

[Urgent]: how is the KIRA video interview like? What kind of questions do they usually ask?

Dont worry too much abt it. It's pretty much the "career goals" essay but in video form if you know where you want to go and what you want to do after MBA, you shouldn't face too much of a problem.

I was accepted to the program a couple of months ago but deferred for 2021. Please let me know if anyone has created a watsapp group. Otherwise I’d be happy to do it

It seems that there is no group except the one on Facebook.
Create it

Hello all, of you would like to be added to the watsapp group , please either PM me with your number or include your number here.



I’m assigning myself the social lead for the class haha

P.s This group is for admitted students only. Not applicants

What is the usual turnaround time though? To hear back from Imperial after one is through with the entire process (that is video interview as well as skype interview)?

Hi suramya26 and Rahulchabbra.
Did you guys get to know the decision for your waitlist in the second round?

I heard they ask for any additional information to strengthen the application. Or did they just inform you that you're waitlisted? If so, may I know how you strengthened your application? Like did you write 2-3 points in the reply mail to them or write another sop and attach it?

Are we supposed to write the skills that we have developed or learnt from our past experiences?

Hey there. Imperial admit with scholarship here. Narenn is right: they just want to see if you've done your homework in researching the skills needed for your targeted career goal and if you already have the foundation for aforesaid skills.

This was what I wrote for two of the criterias. Note that I redacted a few bits and pieces for privacy purposes.

"Ability to work in a cross-cultural environment, working with people from different nations, disciplines and backgrounds. In my current role, I collaborate daily with [function name] from not only in [country name], but all over [region name], especially [country names], and with commercial teams globally, especially those based in [country names], on new business opportunities. I have worked with them through various crisis & firefighting situations, and implemented new initiatives hand-in-hand."

And another one was:

"Given my interest in [career goal 1 and 2], transition execution and change management are two important competencies. In my [career], I have had two chances of managing large changes: [Project 1 and its description] and [Project 2 and its description]."

Hope that helps!

Has anyone heard anything after the R3 deadline of 24th Jan? I had submitted my application on 24th. All the Recommendations were submitted too within the deadline. But I haven't been invited for the Kira yet. All the received was an email with CID and the message that my application is complete and is now being reviewed by the Adcom

Has Imperial removed Kira requirement? I cant see any KIra option in their application admission process. All that is mentioned is after submission of application, should you be successful, you’ll get an invite to interview and it will last for 30-40 mins. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Same goes with me. All i received was a confirmation mail stating that your application is complete and is now being reviewed.

Hello all,

Working on finishing up my apps for this next deadline and was hoping to get clarification on the Career Planning portion.

The career planning questions on the application itself are the only ones we have to complete, correct? I saw the requirements were short 200 and 800 characters (not words, right?).

List your target organisation(s) and role
Please do not exceed 200 characters
What gaps in your skillset will you need to develop to prepare for this career?
Please do not exceed 800 characters

and same for second choice....

Just wanted to make sure I was understanding.

Thanks!
