Tepper (CMU) Class of 2016 Calling all applicants!

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!

Can't. Stop. Checking. Thread.

me too +1...

Wait, why? You already got the interview invite it seems... Aren't decisions only arriving on the 24th? and not before? Don't freak me out

hi everyone, just did a skype interview with Ms Monique yesterday. the network connection was poor, we got disconnected for a couple of times.
anyway, good luck to all of us that are still waiting for interviewsinvites/decisions/waitlisted!

Is this how admissions work at Tepper? I had my interview about 3 weeks ago and have been wondering why I haven't received a response yet. Are all Round 2 decisions released on March 24th, whether it be acceptance or rejection?

Yes. Not even a phone call ahead of time if I remember correctly, just an email at decision date.

I'm confused.. you've applied to quite a few schools- they don't all notify you on the same day?

Strange.

Also, yes, I've already interviewed. But now I have to sit and wait 3 more weeks (3 down, 3 to go). My outlet has been to check this thread for updates from you guys, got quiet though!

It varies from school to school.. Some schools release any decision rolling, some schools release acceptance decision rolling, sone schools release their decision only on the decision date whatever might be the case.

Applied in R2, still no interview invite, Is it over?

Yeah, Stern and Columbia are both rolling. And sadly I think they don't tell you it's over till March 24th. I don't know how late into the game they still invite people to interview...


Good luck everyone!!! 20 days left!!!!! (yes I have a countdown for the two schoosl I still have a chance with)

Ah, gotcha. I've been joining in on some chats just to not keeping bugging my friends who think i'm nuts about this stuff. it's nice to vent to people who are going through the same nailbiting waiting.

Are you guys attending the Tepper event in Delhi on 7th March??

What should one wear for such events??

Should it compulsorily be suit or a formal shirt pant would do??
