Hello. Has anyone received an interview invite from Notre Dame (Mendoza) for the EA round? I submitted my application on 30th August, and got done with Kira Talent Video Assessment on 3rd September. Still haven’t heard back from adcom relating to an interview invite. The application deadline for Early Application was Sept. 12, 2023. And the VIRTUAL INTERVIEW DATES on the website are Oct. 10-12; Oct. 17-19, 2023. Should I be concerned about still not receiving an interview invite? Is it okay if I email adcom asking about the status of my application?
Question

Question .......... Do you provide services for aspirants seeking admission in Ph.D?

Question asked by a member ................ What is the best deciding factor to choose between Ph.d and MBA, i am research student and i don’t have enough money to fund my MBA

Question
Don’t be surprised or worried, wading through applications takes some time. You can always reach out to the adcom and ask about the timeline.

Sajjad1994
Question .......... Do you provide services for aspirants seeking admission in Ph.D?
Yes, we do. While it is slightly different, at the heart of the application, its the same - highlighting your candidacy for the program. We’d love to help!

PhD vs MBA is a good question - PhD is typically more theoretical/research based, less hands-on. It can be good if you are planning to be an analyst or strategist, but if you want to go into product management or marketing, it won’t serve you well. There are other ways to fund your MBA - loans, scholarship, grants...

Solid profile and experience! Rotman will be a reach, but apply early for best chances. Make sure your application is specific as to why Rotman, like the Learning Pathway for HSM... clubs you want to join, etc. This will help boost your spike factor. Do similar with other schools, but focus on Rotman first.

There is already a forum section for it. Please be aware that since Data Insights will be a new section, test prep companies will take some time to produce questions. In the meanwhile, I think the current integrated reasoning should be decent practice.

Random question but in all the question of the day chats sometimes I see an answer which shows as a spoiler and sometimes I don’t for some questions. How does this work exactly?

That’s a good starting point, but when thinking about what makes a competitive GMAT score, it’s important to consider your demographics, including your nationality and current geography. I advise applicants to assess GMAT scores for the quantitative and verbal sections separately. Admissions committees evaluate your performance relative to your peers within your demographic group, typically using a bell curve approach. For those from overrepresented populations at top business schools, a Q49+ score (above the 75th percentile) may be considered borderline elite. This score signals to the admissions committee that you can handle the rigorous and analytical academic curriculum. For native English speakers, on the other hand, a high verbal score is viewed positively by admissions committees because it demonstrates a strong command of the language, which is consistent with the expectations of this population. However, if you are not a native English speaker, your verbal score is more indicative of your ability to actively participate in discussions in a diverse group. Many of the world’s top B-schools emphasize discussion-based pedagogy. Therefore, your performance in the interview is a critical factor.
