Hey Prof,

I have a question on housing at Simon. How does on campus housing compare to off campus at Simon. Which one would you suggest to a prospective student and what are the reasons in terms of cost, comfort, accessibility to campus and facilities etc.?

Thanks

Good question, Arory - let me ask a few of the current students, and I'll have an answer in a couple of days.

I recently received my admissions offer via email from Simon. My profile is below:

Female
GMAT - 610
Undergrad GPA - 3.4, Grad GPA - 3.8
Education in Biomedical Engineering
Currently working in research industry - 2.5 years of work experience
Have invented a technology and developed 5 research products. Currently marketing and earning royalties on those products aside from working full-time
Want to focus on marketing and entrepreneurship
Strong essays with clear description of why b-school, why marketing, and why now
Justification for a low GMAT score
Solid community service
Foreign work experience and well-traveled in general

Interview
My interview was with an Adcom member. It was very conversational and very relaxing. I was asked a lot of the application essay questions as well as why Simon is the best fit for me. In addition, I was asked for examples where I had demonstrated leadership skills and team work. Strengths and weaknesses were asked. Finally, there was a question about if you get accepted at every school you have applied; which one would you choose and why (have a good answer for this one). I also received 40k in scholarship and I am hoping to get more $ by participating in Case Competitions during the scholarship weekend.

Hope this helps!

Good Luck to all of you!

Congratulations on the admit. In which round did you apply and when were you interviewed?

I applied for the Jan5th deadline (I am guessing that is R2). I submitted my app on Jan2nd and received my interview invite on the 7th. Interviewed on the 14th and admissions offer on the 22nd.

Are you a domestic applicant? Or international applicant?

Arory,
Ask the school directly, or if possible, for the contact of a current student so you can probably get better info than from me. Also, you could ask on twitter @simonschool https://twitter.com/SimonSchool, if you have a twitter account.

Just had my interview. It was with a skype interview with an adcom member that is also current PT MBA student. I was very nervous but it was a very nice conversation with no surprises.

Walked her through my resume. Had questions regarding some specific points in the resume - business related and community activity related. Talked about what I want to get from MBA program. And asked her several questions regarding career center and her experience in school.

Overall, I think it went pretty well.
