Hey,

i will be putting in my application very soon. My GMAT is on 1st Feb, so i am not sure if i will get an interview call before that.

Can you share some info about your interview? What else is pending in your application? Is it because you have not sent English/GMAT score that your admission is conditional?

Naveen,

My interview is scheduled sometime shortly (which is the only condition in the offer). :)
I gave my GMAT last year and rest of the stuff is done. Will share some information once the interview is through. Hoping things work out.

Hey Clangorous,

Congrats. So have you made the deposit also? Can you let me know about the interview process and some questions?

Naveen

Thanks Naveen.
I got my offer yesterday and have not done anything about it yet.
The interview process was more like a discussion.
It was mostly hovered around my work experience and my future plans post MBA.

Cool. BTW, how is the job scenario in UK now? Strangely, i am not finding placement reports for any of the college for the previous years. Do you have any idea?
BTW, i have deffered by MBA plans for next year.

The job scenario in UK from what I hear through my friends is still patchy. I too was looking for placement reports but could not find it. Considering the state of the economy, the placement reports for last year must be disappointing (I am assuming this to be the reason for non-availability of any reports).

The FT Rankings for 2010 are out and the average 3 year ranking of Edinburgh is 77. Its gone down a few ranks on the year rankings and is now around the late 80's.

Anybody in the group who has accepted or has been offered a seat?

Hey Clangorous,

Congrats buddy for the admit!!

when did you apply and how much time did it take to get the interview call after your application got completed?

Hey ag_tou,

Thanks. I initially applied for the 2009 intake but as the seats were full by the time I applied the university asked me if I could defer my application for 2010 intake. So my application was made in June 2009 itself but considering the economy back then I decided to defer my MBA admission by an year. I would not be a correct judge for the time the university takes to respond but I feel it is around 3-4 weeks.
