Good luck to the people who just got the interview invite. Remember that at that point, they're looking for reasons to admit you. :-D

And Zynga, I am seriously amazed at that quant score of 50. You must be a math machine.

Not yet. I'm going in with the mentality that I'll be paying full price. If I get $$, that's a bonus.

Don't forget that probably the majority of applicants are going to find out on the deadline.

I am not sure. How is the Yield rate for Anderson? Half of the interviewed would be admitted?
I don't have too much hope now. Prob a WL.

I also got in yesterday (2/11 interview) and received a fellowship call this morning. As others have noted, the follow up email went to gmail spam.

Wow, you are very optimistic! Can you explain why you said, "they're looking for reasons to admit you"?

The reason I ask is because of the website info:

Interviews are rarely the deciding factor in an admissions decision; instead they typically mirror or round out information already provided in the application.

I got a call today and was all ready to get a fellowship offer... and then she just asked if I had any questions about the program. Looks like I'm paying full price. But whatever, I was prepared for that. Congrats to all the people who did get money.

I might have been a bit optimistic. I'm not trying to say that getting to the interview stage means you can relax. But they liked something about you if they brought you in for an interview, so you need to reinforce that during the interview process.

I had my interview on Feb 14th and was admitted last week. Sorry for the late post but here is a short summary of my interview. I did it on skype with an AdCom member; it was a pleasant conversional interview. The questions were pretty standard:

1. Walk me through your resume
2. Why MBA
3. Why Anderson
4. What extracurricular opportunities would you like to pursue at Anderson
5. International experience
6. Anything else you’d like to cover
7. Any questions for me

Good luck guys!

Hi Guys,

I interviewed on Feb 14th on campus, and still hear nothing about an offer or a ding or a WL.
Do you guys think I would be ding or wl by Anderson on the decision date Apr 3rd?
I haven't hear anything after to rolling decision till now, and i am losing hope.

Does anyone from R1 or last year threat know if I am possible to be admit on the decision date?

Thanks

Yes I believe they will release a good portion of the acceptances on the decision date.

For all of you February interviewees who want to feel slightly better about not having heard anything yet: I interviewed in early January and still haven't heard anything!

Apparently, the thumbs'll just be twiddling till the decision deadline
