Thanks Topa - I assume that you re-applied in round 1 and were accepted? I'm a reapp too. Really hoping for some good news soon...any good tips for the interview (IF I get one)?


Yes, I was a re-applicant from last year. Good luck with your application.

My interview was with an alum and was held over breakfast! It was pretty conversational and no puzzling questions. Just ensure you have the answers to all the basic MBA interview questions. Ensure you have a very clear thought process while delivering your answers.

Your interviewer is also notified about your admission. I sent him a thank you email after I received my admit and he replied back with this feedback:

"it was your achievements till date and your clear thinking that enabled you to get this."

So remember to re-iterate all your significant accomplishments and tie them in with your past experiences and how they have shaped your future goals.

Hope this helps.

My status change to this:

Application for Fall 2010 Admission

Submission Status: Submitted
Submitted Date: 12/31/2009 10:57:00 AM E.S.T.
Your application is complete for committee review.

Can not check my email right now (hopefully to see an interview invitation email) so I dont know if the status change is a good sign or not

Mine also changed early this morning to the same status. I received an email from the Admissions Office this morning with the subject "Application Status Available" informing me that I could log into the application website to check whether my app was complete.

Nope - think that an interview invite is separate from the notification that the app is ready for review by the AdCom.

Definitely sketchy...R1 invites didn't start going out until about 5 weeks after the deadline. Seems a bit early.

Alright then - we can exhale and continue to wait patiently. We know from Round 1 that it took 5 weeks for the invites to start trickling out. We shouldn't expect anything until next Wednesday.
