Simon 2012 - Calling all Applicants

Applied Jan 5, interviewed at Open House on Jan. 13. Accepted and invited to Scholarship weekend (Feb 3-5) on Jan. 20.

That was a quick turnaround. Thank you and congrats again.

Now I know people who submitted their apps on January 5 and received interview invite today

R2 applicant here. It seems like any R2 applicants who haven't heard by now are very likely to get waitlisted or dinged on the decision day (based on last year's thread)...

***sigh***

Wait a couple of days. Some answers were released very recently. Don't panic I have a quite strong profile for Simon to be dinged/waitlisted even without an interview. Actually, Simon was a back up of my back ups ), so it's unlikely that all interview invites are already released.

I actually already had an interview way back in November. Just waiting for the result now... Another restless night...

Then I'm mistaken, I actually happen to be R3 applicant. Have not you applied to other schools or is there anything special for you in Simon?

I did apply to other schools, but I'll have to say all the schools I applied to are special to me one way or the other

Did any of the R3 applicants receive an interview invite yet?

As I said above, I know at least one person who has already received the invite.

Good luck to everyone applying to Simon. I was fortunate enough to have some of the Simon professors for a few of my undergraduate classes, and I can say that the faculty is truly wonderful. I was contemplating applying to Simon without any work experience last year (as they do take students with no work experience), but was told by current students who were at the time pursuing the MBA program that it is very hard to land internships without (quality) work experience from Simon. One of these students had an impeccable gpa and was in the 3-2 MBA program.

If anyone is considering attending Simon due to the fact that work experience is not required, I would suggest thinking long and hard about that decision.

Updates: invited for an interview

I am an R2 applicant and Waitlisted.

Accepted with 20K in Scholarship! Also invited to the scholarship weekend scheduled 31st March! Anybody admitted message me!

Accepted ones, can you share your profiles?

Received my acceptance yesterday, but I'm turning down the offer.
I hope this opens a spot for a WLer.

Simon is a great school and I know a few people who are currently in the full-time MBA.
I've also lived in Rochester for a few years, so if any accepted candidates have any questions about the school/city, feel free to PM me.

Good luck everyone.

My congrats, you finally did it
