Fisher-2008 Interviews and beyond

[SS_MBA_2008]

Got a schol of 12K (6K each year) and 25% reduction on any of the housing options located on OSU campus.

So now I know how much I will have to shell out from my pocket . Could anyone let me know what are the various loan options available infront of me? W/o a cosignor will I qualify for any of the loan options available on Fisher site?

Hi Venom/Rahul,

No schols for me till date !!

I believe applying on 20th Nov( 5 days after the deadline for Intl Students) could be one potential reason for not getting considered for the schols!!

Hello Everybody,

I am not a regular on PG. But since i have got an admit from fisher today, I thought i can share my experiences if it helps others.

I had submitted my application on 15th Nov; had my interview on 3rd dec and my application did not get reviewed till 9th jan as there as was some confusion regarding one of my recos at fisher's end. So basically i would consider my application to be submitted only after 9th jan as it was reviewed post this date. So in all it took them 3 weeks to get back to me with an answer and I have gotten lucky it seems.

Profile: 710 /2yrs WE by 07/31/2008/ GPA 4.0/4.0 - REC Surathkal / Extra curriculars: Diverse and good / Community service - excellent (lot of initiatives at the organisation level)

I guess my interview was pretty smooth too. The only odd question was, ''One organization that i look upto in terms of its success story and why?"

All the others were pretty standard questions bt answered with lot of passion and tried connecting everything with what Fisher has... I think that is what worked.. made them beleive that everything that i do is in sync with what fisher expects the participants to do..

Pls do let me know if anyone has any further questions.

Also, how many of us are sure to join Fisher (and have given up other offers). I have to make a choice between Simon and Fisher. What do you guys have to say?? My interest is primarily finance and consultancy.

Thanks,
Abhishek

PS. Once i have caught with other things, I will definitely be looking for some help with regards to the Financial affidavit and I20...

My status still shows "Evaluation"...

[hibhardwaj]

Don't know how much time it will take for them to "evaluate" my application

This is a long wait. I applied on 31st Dec. But there was a confusion regarding my GMAT official score reporting. After following up with the adcom I finally received an e-mail that my application is complete.
Its frustrating to receive such a mail one month after applying to a college ... huh
