Has anyone received scholarship???

leonidas1234 · Answer

Hi nainiki801, which round did you applied? Which country and industry are you from? What is your gender, male or female? This forum was so quiet till now. I hope other thunderbird applicants will join us. Concerning your question, I did not receive a scholarship. I applied few days ago and I hope to be awarded a scholarship.

For what it worth, my interview is scheduled on January 29th.

leonidas1234 · Answer

On 29/01, I was interviewed by an adcom on Skype. The adcom was very relax. She asked me why want to do an MBA now? Why Thunderbird? She also asked me to list the skills that I think a leader/manager must have. The interview last for about 30 min. Hope the short debrief will help you if you are preparing for your interview. Good luck.

leonidas1234 · Answer

Hi Jokeryj, I am always happy to see another thunderbird applicant. Please, can you share more information about you (country, industry, gender...)? I was interviewed last week by an adcom on Skype. In my last post, I you can find some of questions that she asked to me, normal questions for an MBA admission interview. Also, the adcom seems to be very interested about my international experience, I think international experience is a key information for the school. If you have another specific question about the interview just ask and I will answer if I can. Good luck guy!!!

HI leonidas1234,
I'm wondering if I can ask you some questions regarding application process?

I was interviewed a couple days before, and not receiving any further notice now.
Are you admitted to Thunderbird MBA program?
Did you receive any scholarship?

Looking forward to meet you guys in AZ: )

Hello leonidas1234!
Thank you!Here's my profile - male, Indian, 24 years. working in the healthcare IT sector. I just wanted to know whether the adcoms ask any out of the box questions like "if u were in situation x how u react" or something like that?

leonidas1234 · Answer

Hi kksean, Please, can you share your profile with us (country, industry, gender or whatever you want to share)? I am not yet admitted, I am still waiting for the final decision. According to what the adcom told me at the end of my interview, I can expect to know my final decision at the end of next week (2 weeks after my interview date). Good luck to you and every body following this forum.

leonidas1234 · Answer

Hi jokeryj, Thanks to have shared your profile with us. The adcom didn't ask me that type of question. However, I can remember that she asked me to tell her my weaknesses. I told her some but I also told her what I do to correct them. Good luck!!!
