wow, i submitted my application on the 2nd of october and i'm still waiting for their answers. that's getting me worried already

Don't worry bro, they might be waiting for some input from you? I would say call atleast once, just to check that your application is not missing any doucment, that's it, dont't ask to review your profile on phone.

If you dont mind, can you post your profile? I may be able to help you further bro.

Wishing you goodluck,

I sent my transcripts through mail on 28th itself and they will reach on 2nd i guess.

But i think they really liked your profile thats why called you so early

I submitted my app on 29th.. sorry I don't know how come you didn't get a call yet, the reason might be incomplete app, they might be still waiting for some more documents.

All of a sudden how come this forum has become dead..:).. No more interviews?

Am not sure what's going on. Check the following link: http://www.ivey.uwo.ca/MBA/docs/Class%20Profile-Grads%20Spring%202010.pdf

It shows as if Spring 2010 class is already full.

Kellogg and Rotman do not qualify as case based MBA schools. Yes, they involve the case study method ( 25 % for Rotman, 30% for Kellogg) but they do not use the case based methodology primarily or exclusively. I would categorize Rotman and Kellogg as having a balanced methodology. Almost every school uses case based method to an extent.
In my opinion there are only four schools which primarily or exclusively use the case study methodology and these are:

Harvard Business School
Darden
Richard Ivey
IESE

I agree with you, Kellogg and Rotman are not full-flashed case method programs.

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on case method programs. So far the list stands as follow:

1. Harvard
   
2. INSEAD
   
3. IVEY
   
4. Kellogg
   
5. Darden
   
6. IESE
   
7. Rotman
   

I believe case method is a very good form to share your own findings, knowledge and experience with others. But yes you should have something in your bag before you can put it on the table for others.

So if you believe you have a good load in your bag and want to fill the rest of your bag with other's experience then case method is the way to go.

In case method everyone will share their best experience related to the case/scenario being discussed in the class and believe it or not but someone's personal experience could teach you lot more than text books.

I believe you guys would agree with me.

Hi friends,

I have searched lots of sites, forums and blogs to find a list of all the case based MBA programs but of no use, so I decided to start a thread that should enlist and discuss case based MBA programs.

So far best known case based b-schools are:

1. Harvard
   
2. INSEAD
   
3. IVEY
   
4. Kellogg
   

Please feel free to add to the list and share your experience/views regarding case method approach.

Thanks,

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the inquiry and providing detailed background information. It sounds as though you are able to point to an upward trajectory professionally and have some extracurricular activities to round our your application.

In terms of the international programs you listed, we tend to have more experience with INSEAD, LBS, so I am not extremely familiar with some of the programs you listed.

Regarding your GMAT score, how many times have you taken the test? If you have only taken it once, I would suggest retaking it to improve your chances at some of the US programs. While the GMAT score isn't everything, a score of 700 is the benchmark for success. Just by sitting for the test more than once, you are also showing to AdCom(s) that you are determined and dedicated to go back to business school.

Regards,
Erin

Hi Erin,

Thanks for a quick reply.

I definitely can improve my score and cross the 700 benchmark. Considering my profile, matched up with 700GMAT, what schools do you recommend? Please recommend some US schools as am having little hard time evaluating myself when it comes to US schools.

Thanks,
