Hi,

Ive decided to join GW this fall.

Hi,

I am a MBA applicant for UIUC in fall 2011. However, I was offered an admit for MSTM program.

Can you throw some light on the employment statistics?

I just need the information to analyze the options that I have as the admissions season for fall 2011 is coming to an end.

Thanks.

Hi 2006onwards,

I've an interview tomorrow for the Fox Full time MBA. Can you share your interview experience? What questions were you asked?

I got a similar email..i was also waitlisted and nw received this email on 18th ..

What is ur profile ?

GMAT score: 660
TOEFL score: 109
GPA: 3.7
Work ex: 3 yrs in IT by fall 2011
Good community service, publications and extra curricular involvements

I guess UIUC received a good number of well rounded applications in R1 and thus the gmat score is low for R2 indian applicants.
Anyways, a 1 year MSTM will not align with the goals of candidates who want to switch careers. Good luck with the rest of applications!!

Has any other R2 applicant been notified of the Smeal decision?

I was interviewed on 15th March by Stacey through Skype.

Thanks to allthe applicants who have shared their interview experiences in this thread. My interview was on similar lines. I was asked the following questions:

Can you walk me through your resume.
What is your short term career goal?
Are you applying to any other schools in US? What if you don't get into your preferred MBA program?
Why have you chosen Smeal?
What do you do for fun?
Explain me a situation where you have faced an ethical dilemma.
Tell me one thing you like and one thing you dislike about teamwork.
How will your classmates describe you?
Do you have any questions for me?

The interview lasted for 35 mins. All the best folks.

Hi puys,

I am a R2 applicant who was waitlisted without an interview. I was notified on 18th march that they cannot offer me an admission this year. However, they felt that I'm an excellent candidate for their Masters of Science in Technology Management program. Hence, they have requested me to forward my application to Donna Foley.

A nice way to get dinged
