i did not make it.....don't know what to do...have got an admit from Brandeis and WPI but now don't feel like joining either of them.....

Oh my gosh! I ve been waitlisted @ Rice... I thought I did my interview well and turned in good essays... I received a shocker when I saw that I am waitlisted... Rice Finance program is considered very good and Houston location helps in your job search... It's discomforting not to make it...

Heyya!!

Mine was a very conversational F2F interview!

Why MBA and Why Rice?
Leadership examples
Tough situation that uve faced and how youve come out of it?

These Q's are very normal to any MBA intw. It was very much on predicted lines.

All the Best. Go crack it!!

HI guys, I applied infirst round and got final admit by 12th Dec. I believe finance program at Rice is terrific and I am looking forward to the experience. I have international experience of 6+ years in shipping industry. Interview was a smooth pasage, - was asked general questions such as Why MBA now, Why Rice, Few questions regarding my work profile and how I will add value to Rice MBA class! It lasted for about 30 min. I asked for feed back, to which my Interviewer said She cant give feedback but she thought , I have unique work experience and Its definitly an advantage!!!
