Pittsburgh (Katz) 2008 interviews and admits

[nishachuri]

Hi All,

I got the invitation for interview today. But I am not able to decide the timing. They are 10.5 hours behind us, right? So for me there is no point in taking an appointment after 1:30 (as per their timings).

@Anirban
It seems Katz wants us to call them. I had always thought that it is ADCOM who calls us. I don't understand how am I going to manage an interview in ISD booth.

@pranay_jack
Can you please let me know your interview timing?

All the Best to both of you!!

Cheers

Hey Nisha,

I am not sure in which part of US is Katz, but google "Current Time in Pittsburg" to make sure of the time difference. Also better get ISD enabled on your home phone. Very few adcoms wil call you. Its you who will have to call in. So that would be good. All the best for your interviews.

I scheduled the interview on 28th Nov 2007 at 2.15pm (Katz time).... so that will be 12.45 am India time..

Also..I had a talk with the admission committee..As per ite mail, my B.E. degree was missing in the packet..Infact the school has not mentioned about the BE degree on the website!.. all they asked was the official transcript..

Anyway..I have faxed my degree to the committee. After having a talk with the committee member, I realised that the councellers are really very helpful..and we can talk to them for any simple query.

Regarding the interview call, I am planning to make the call through my mobile.Recently I talked to them thru mobile only and the clarity of voice was good. The interview may last for 45 minutes..so make sure u have balance in mobile

All guys,

Please keep this forum updated..

Thanks Pranay.

But I did not understand the point regarding your BE degree. Did you not send your Markseets with the Transcripts OR you forgot to attahe the Degree/ Convocation Certificate?

Regarding the call, I would better get ISD enabled at my home. I cannot rely on any Cellular network.

I am planning to take an interview in the morning (as per Indian Time).
Would keep everyone posted. It would be my first foreign B-School interview ever. So I don't want to face it after a looong day in the office.

@Rahul, as you had 4 admits last year, will you please share with us your preparation? Or if you have already posted it in some other thread, give us a link.

All the Best to everyone !

Nisha.
