I turned my app in for r2 on the due date...how long after did you guys get your interview invite?


any advice for the interview?
#5

I submitted my app on the 16th of October and got the invite on the 20th ...Interview was on the 30th of October...

Don't over prepare for the interview...it was more of conversational...Standard questions such as why mba, why mccombs, why now, walk me through your resume, achievement and strengths and weakness will be asked.


#6

anyone gotten anything?

I am a little worried. I turned in my application on the deadline but didnt get to turn in my transcripts/fees until a couple of days later.

I havent gotten an interview invite and I am worried they are going to ding me or make me wait until round 3

Hi.. I submitted my application in round 2 (3rd Dec, 2012), completed my face-to-face interview with an alum on 7th Jan, 2013 in Mumbai. Any idea how long before I hear back from them?
#13
@Goyal.Lavi When is round 2 notification date? Mostly you will hear back from then a couple of days before the notification date. Atleast that was the case with round 1.

Thanks @gopinath00009 .. round two notification is around mid-February...

Hi all, I am a R1 candidate and was waitlisted.I got a mail yesterday from the admissions committee to submit a video to continue to keep myself on the waitlist. I have heard of other waitlisters getting the same mail. Can someone, who is familiar with this or has already submitted video, let us know about what kind of questions are asked on the portal for which we need to respondin the video?

#20

Hi all, I have applied in R2, but have not got a reply as yet. Has everyone who applied in R2 got a reply by now ? I'm worried that it is taking too long.
