I did my undergrad at WFU and have kept Babcock in mind for my MBA for awhile now. They have a unique admissions program, called Done In A Day, whereby you don't do the essay requirements but sit for a panel-style interview. You are given a decision within 24 hours after your interview!
I know Babcock has fallen from the rankings lately (going from second tier to off the face of BW), but I think it's an interesting admissions process and look forward to trying it out. If anyone did the DiaD program on December 6th, let us know how it went.
I myself am doing the program in January. Friday night, a dinner with students, faculty and alumni. Saturday, mock class, tour, and the panel interview. I'm hopeful by the time I reach Charlotte, I'll have an admit in my pocket! My theory is that more schools will start to do things like this, if successful, in order to alleviate some of the deadlines. Obviously not everyone can participate (Wake allows only two days for these programs) so selectivity is very high.
What's everyone's thoughts on this?

I think its a noble idea but only feasible for a midrange school like Babcock that doesn't have a huge glut of applicants. How detailed is the 'panel' interview compared to a regular interview?

Well, I attended the Showcase Saturday event on January 24th, also doing their Done In A Day program. It was a great experience.
The events included a speech and Q&A with the new Dean (former CEO of Pepsico), info from admissions director/financial aid office/career management center. We then had a mock class, which was just awesome. Kenny kept everything light and fun while still teaching and fostering debate among 30+ wide-eyed MBA applicants. After this we went to another room and had a panel Q&A with several current students, getting their take on the Babcock experience. Concentration-specific lunch groups were formed (I sat in on the marketing lunch), which gave great insight into the functional areas of the program. A quick tour, and the day was nearly done.
The Done In A Day interviews started at 1:30 and went for a few hours. Each of the 16 applicants was interviewed by three other people, a mix of AdCom and Faculty. I had two faculty and one career management person. It sometimes felt like I was up against a firing squad, but we tried to keep it light. I was really grilled on other schools I'm interested in, even being asked "Let's say you're admitted to Georgetown and UCLA, full rides. Where do you go and why?" Never expected questions like that.
We were told we would get notice starting around 9PM. I was called at 6:30 with great news. Not only was I admitted, but I was selected as a Dean's Scholar. Essentially, full-tuition scholarship, yearly stipend and they'll pay for my international abroad trip! I was pretty pumped about this, and don't know if any other school can match that offer. They're flying me down in March for Scholar's Weekend which will be fun.
Anyway, I met some cool people there and I think Babcock is certainly an up and coming school. They're increasing the faculty and CMC staff and looking at future expansion. I think it's an exciting time to join.
