I received an interview invite today as well. I have few questions for solaris and those who have got admitted recently-
1. I did not get any SWIB invite - how does it matter?
2. None of the dates showing on interview schedule website have the option to do lunch with a student. I do want to check out as much other stuff related to Stern as possible on my interview day. How can I maximize my experience? I am very interested in MESA club and would like to meet some student ambassador, how can I get it arranged?
3. Lastly, how long does the interview take? It says 30 mins but that sounds a bit short to me. Any pointers for preparation?
Thanks in advance
To add on to what Solaris and LB20 said...
Not getting a SWIB interview doesn't matter. The odds are all the same (they like you v they don't like you) whether you are invited to the conference or not. The SWIB side is a bit of targetted student events(similar is performed on Marketing, Consortium) that are limited, but allow the school to open itself up more by offering an event they feel the prospectives may benefit from. Sadly, the capacity for these is really limited against the candidate pool size.
As both recommend, get in touch with the Graduate Ambassadors - they are nearly all girls this year anyway. Which is to say that the majority are girls, not that all of them are midway through sexual reassignment. I am sure one of them is MESA affiliated, if not post up here and I will find someone for you.
