Hey,
Yeah Kelley interview I have scheduled for Dec 16th. So waiting for that. Submitted my application on the 13th of Nov or so. Got an email notification sometime last week for the interview.
Carlson, my application is not complete still. My transcripts are unfortunately stuck with customs. The Speed Post guys are working on getting it through. Also my TOEFL scores havent reached. I dunno why, I sent it on Nov 19th, still hasn't reached. So until my application gets complete i dun think i will have any progress with the application.

Hi Jayeeta,
Could you pls share your profile too. Also pls let us know of your interview experiences.

yeah even i had trouble with my TOEFL scores for Carlson. I think its one of the few schools where the scores are sent by post rather than the electronic mode. hence it takes 3-5 weeks for them to receive the scores, which actually makes it a hassle for us applicants.
well...i got an interview invite before i completed by application. i had just submitted my GMAT score & resume. will keep u guys posted abt the interview.
My profile:
W.E - 6+ yrs

How did the carlson interview go? Please post your experiences. I just got an invitation to interview. Have to schedule one now. Looking forward to your tips for the interview, and also questions asked.

Hi Rohit,
the interview was smooth...nothing to worry abt.
The usual questions were asked:
why MBA? Why Carlson? short & long term goals.
but she did dig deeper into whatever i said. she needed specifics for everything. but no question stumped me....overall it was ok.
when r u scheduling the interview? isnt the uni closed for christmas now?
ATB !!

1. who all r there for the interview?
2. we call them or they call us?
3. how long does it last?

Rohit,
The interview was conducted by someone from the adcom. her name was either tracy/stephanie....don't remember. I was interviewed by someone different from the one mentioned in the mail, so dont quite recall now.
the interview was approx 55mins, but she took almost 15-20 mins telling me of the various features of the school & answeing my questions.
& yeah....the interviewer called me. it can work either ways depending on ur convinience.
Hope this helps. dont worry...it was a very chilled out experience.
let me know when u r scheduled for urs.
