GMAT: 640 (36 V, 41 Q, 6 AWA, 7 IR)
GPA: 3.8
Undergrad major: Mathematics (small, un-ranked state university)
Work experience: 6 years part time retail, 2 years full time blue collar
Schools applied (applying to): Monmouth (MBA Acct), Rider (MS Acct), Rutgers at Newark (MBA in Prof Acct), Seton Hall (MS Acct), Drexel (MS Acct), Pace (MS Acct)
Schools accepted: Rider ($5400/yr scholarship), Seton Hall, Pace ($6400/yr scholarship), Drexel
Schools denied: N/A
Most likely to attend: Unsure but it looks like Seton Hall because it's possible to complete the program in 1-1.5 years vs 2 years for Rider, Pace, and Drexel.

How long from the time you submitted to the time Pace got back to you? I applied there as well and it seems to be taking forever to hear back.

About 3 weeks between being notified that my application was complete and receiving the acceptance letter. Maybe I got lucky and my material was received right before the admissions committee met?

Finally heard back

For Wake Forest, did you interview with the career coach after the initial interview? Also, how long did it take for them to notify you on their decision after your interview?

I did not. It took a week to hear back but they called me and asked me to send in some information they were missing and she told me while I was on the phone. And I received the official notification about a week after I submitted that info.

I submitted my application on a Sunday, was contacted on Tuesday to set up an interview which occurred on Friday. After the interview I was accepted the following Wednesday. So it took about a week and a half after I submitted my application to the point of acceptance

Wow, that's super fast. My wife recently applied to W&M Macc, they asked her to make a Video introduction. Then she got a mail saying they'll let us know the decision by March 18. Not sure why is she was asked to make a Video.

I had a Skype interview, so maybe the video is taking the place of the interview

Nothing that I didn't expect.
Why W&M? Why accounting? Asked about my current job, undergrad involvement, etc.

The interview ran almost an hour, however, I would assume that a normal interview would go about 30ish minutes. I had many questions to ask and purposely kept the interview going because we were having a good conversation. Just be yourself, show interest in the program obviously, and remember its just a conversation and you are suppose to be evaluating them and their program as well.

Hope this helps.
