and by the way in the email it says: "You will receive more information about the format of your interview as the date gets closer. " That hasn't happened yet. I'm wondering if any of you could shed some light on the interview process. Thanks you.

It's kinda vague for sure, but what they actually mean is that 24 hours before your interview they'll send you all the details regarding how the interview is conducted and what you need to prepare. It's a mini-case that you need to think through and present. Then some Q & A.

I'm done with my interview too. Super excited about the program and its new campus(2018 class would be the first class to move into there). Is anyone else still waiting for his/her interview? Good luck to you all.

If you are interviewing on skype from a different time zone, I would recommend you to find the best internet connection that you could possibly find. If you get 60M/s download and 50M/s upload on speedtest.net. It should be solid. Skype apparently requires very good connection.

Does anyone still have an upcoming interview?

It sounds like most of us have completed the interview, but I was wondering if anyone still has one coming up, since they probably wait to release decisions until all interviews are in the bag, but that's just my guess...unless anyone has any other info regarding the decision release date

?

Nonetheless, the waiting game continues for now. But decisions have got to be right around the corner. Good luck to you all!

Couldn't agree with you more CAVU. Wish there was some sort of a clearer deadline.! Guess there's no other choice but to wait.

I wish there was a published decision date too. But given the time of year, we can infer a range: minimum it'll be tomorrow and maximum it'll be Friday, December 16. So, it's likely to be sometime over the next 10 days.

According to this page https://www.johnson.cornell.edu/Cornell-Community/Academic-Calendar, classes wrapped up December 2 at Cornell Tech and the regular 2-year Johnson students go on break December 16, as I assume the admissions staff does as well.

I put my money on sometime this week

Yes ashman843. Got an email from admissions team. Dec 16th 5pm is the decision release time

For me, it is exactly one day after ISB's acceptance deposit deadline.
I see that you are also in similar situation. Have you decided b/w ISB and IIMA?

Hi Guys,
This is Nitin Nair and I'm very new to this forum.
Got 8+ years of experience in Pre-Sales across Consulting , IT and Telecom Industries.
Interested in Tech MBA program coz I'm planning my own venture in future (already have one failed venture and another WIP idea under my belt) but not immediately after the program.
I believe this program provides an equal opportunity for an entrepreneur and also for the one who is looking to build his career in technology companies.
Can anyone share more details like the average age and work experience of the students in Tech MBA.

Nitin,
Yes, this program fits perfectly for someone who is looking for Tech product management roles/ Tech Entrepreneurship. I think the average work experience would be around 5-6 years.
I spoke with few students when i attended the open house 2 months back. From what i understand, few students try to start their own companies but most of them end up in Tech Product management kind of roles.

Thank u
