Got the interview invite too. Submitted on the 2nd.

Is there any disadvantage to setting an interview date much later, like February ending? Does Tepper admit students on a first-interviewed first-admitted basis?

Have you guys scheduled in person or skype interviews? I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it in person. The email suggested adcoms prefer campus interviews to skype.

Tepper has a history of giving out interviews very early so congrats for those invites.

Anybody is coming to Tepper to interview, do meet any of current students to learn more about the program and all the best.

Tips:
1) Know your essay in and out
2) Why Tepper
3) Why MBA
4) Why now?
5) Leadership and other behaviorals.

All the best :)

Thanks kinjiGC for the tips.

I was given a link which allowed both on-campus and skype interview. I had to choose skype because of the location constraints.
I would have loved if Tepper was touring India, Bangalore during this time. Anyone has info on that.?

I don't think you have any choice apart from Skype. Even I was from Bangalore and I interviewed on skype.

All the best.

I spoke to the admissions office and Judy said that interviewing at a later time wouldn't put you in a disadvantage. I was invited to do the interview on Women's Visit Day in late February. Judy strongly recommended me to pick that weekend.

I checked the school website, and my application status still shows "submitted." For those of you have been invited for an interview, did your status change online?

Dear All,

I submitted my applciation Dec 30th. I got a reply on 4th of Jan, suggesting I had not submitted my degree certificate.
I did it immediately. However I have still not got any mail from Tepper noting the completion of my application.
Can anyone suggest?

I had the same issue and was asked to submit the degree and also the GPA calculation for my university(though this was already there in the first page of the transcript).
It was clearly mentioned in the mail Tepper sent me asking for additional documents that my application will be reviewed again only after all the other applications have been reviewed.

As per my knowledge, this is the same for everyone, and so you will just have to wait till they are done reviewing other applications.

Hello. Thanks for the reply. I saw many people getting interview calls and was pretty confused. Hope it doesnt hamper the chances because of 'late submission' of application.
