Hi Everyone, I just have a campus interview last week with Kelly Wilson. This year, I apply the FlexTime (part-time) MBA program. The interview questions were quite similar to others. We went through my resume very quick and described my current job. Then, she asked me the following questions: - How about the class visit? - Why MBA? - How much I know about the Tepper school? Why do I think that I fit? - What I want to do after graduate? What is your long-term goal? - What is my leadership type? How did I tackle the challenge job? - What if company moves me before graduate? - If there is one thing that I could tell all the Adcom team, what I want to say? My interview took only 20 minutes. For all waitlist friends, I deeply understand you situation. I was in the waitlist for other two schools last year. I wish you the best of luck.

Hello friends, I am going for skype interview in couple of hours And I was not provided the Skype ID of my interviewer. is it normal? Do AdCom usually add interviewees in Skype?

Whoever is interviewing you adds you like right before it starts. No worries

Stern (no$) v/s Ross (no$) v/s Tepper (50% $) v/s USC (100% $). Yet to hear from some schools, but these may well be my options. Please advise in making a decision.

It depends a lot on what type of city life you prefer, if you like big groups or small, if you have money saved up or not, what field you want to go into... For instance I would personally be between Tepper and NYU and for me Tepper at 50% is HUGE because Pittsburgh is also a cheaper city (I also grew up around and lived in NYC so it's nothing new) and on the ranking that ranks more according to what I care about, Tepper is higher ranked than NYU... so it would be a simple decision for me but... again so many variables. Congratulations though and best of luck with everything! Also, actually since we're at it? Were you first round Tepper? Did they give all the decisions on the same day or any days leading up to the final decision date? Thanks!

anyone from india who has got skype interview invite from Tepper recently?

no yaar!. I am kinda losing hope...anyone can throw in their two cents on "whether we shud wait for invite anymore?"

I say it's not over till the fat lady sings. Also apparently when deposits come in for schools that's when they get to see what they already have coming into the new class so they can keep evaluating. So I've read. But yeah, I mean, expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised if it's good news?? Maybe that's just how I view things though. In any case, there's nothing to do for now and you won't know until you know. Best of luck to EVERYONE!
