There seems to be very few people applying to Carroll (at least looking at the thread activity). Among the ones applied, your GMAT score is the highest. So hope for the best and apply.

Your only problem might be the fact that you are applying very late and a good portion of the seats might get filled by then.

Nevertheless, good luck.

Chances are definately good if u can put forward some nice essays ... the only problem as Bharath mentioned would be that R3 is really competitive and very few seats up for grabs there ...

Hey congrats on the interview. I am still waiting for an interview call from Carroll school.

Anyways from my experience, I have seen that the admission committee generally say that a decision will be given in 2-3 weeks from the date of the interview. Of course, if they think that you are a great fit, you will be notified right away, maybe within a couple of days. So strictly from a time frame perspective, it could be from a couple of days to 2-3 weeks depending on how well you have done your interview. This holds true for most colleges. Even for the ones that say that they have a strict timeline policy.


Thanks

Bharath,

Did you get notification from Carroll till now...
I have applied to Carroll by R2 deadline and have similar profile as yours.. I have not heard anything from Carroll till now..
Its 5th March and school on the site mentions that they will notify us by 15th March...
That means there are very less chances getting at least an interview call...What about you? Did you get anything from the school?
I think at least for me.. they will send a mail saying you are dinged or wait listed n den d chances of making into a school would be very less 😞

Also surprised by PG activity... Just two pages when we are in March and when every school has close to 20 pages at least...
Does that mean fewer applicants? If that's the case, then I welcome that scenario 😃

Notification by 15 March probably means that they would let you know if you are invited for interview or rejected by that date. I am very hopeful. Even if we are notified for interview on March 15, that would still give us time to be selected into the program after an interview.

As for the activity in this page, i vaguely remember people sharing messages about Carroll school in a different thread, i think it was for Boston University (not sure though). So i think a lot of people are just not active here, but are active elsewhere. The website says that they take 35% international. So the numbers are the same as with any other school.

I agree with you Bharat..
Thers lot of confusion about Boston College and Boston University...
Lets hope 15th March is the date by which they will communicate the status of our interview calls!!

Hopefully we hear something from them. I would love the opportunity to at least interview for the program.

Dinged without an interview today :(((

I got an email today which says I have been wait-listed.

Profile: 650 GMAT / 3 yrs entrepreneurial exp.
Acads: B.Com / 2012 Level 3 CFA candidate.

Seems that Carroll has started communicating the status....
Lets see how it goes !!
