Any update from any of the R3 applicants?

Do they role out decisions on a rolling basis, or should I wait till the 20th March deadline?

Actually, Mandark you are not! Just had my interview today, I had to postpone the other day due certain exigencies and I think the interview went really well!! After the usual Why MBA? Why Simon? subsequent questions bothered on my experience and the answers to my questions. So a good hint will be' try to provide answers that will help you control the interview.

Keeping my fingers crossed and hope to hear from them soon.

My interview lasted about 30 minutes with familiar questions, such as introduce yourself, short-term goal, strengths, why MBA now, why Simon, how do you manage you time, clubs you join in university, etc.
