Thank you so much for the quick response.

But does my profile fit in the Warwick school requirements? Or do I need a better GMAT score or work-ex?

Also, how the interview process after the acceptance of your application?
What is expected of you?

Thanks again.

I had applied to WBS for 09 got a ding

The reason told to me was lack of Experience. (I still cannot understand this as I had worked for a month on my application and was assured (by alums) people with 4 years of experience are taken)

Just applied to two schools WBS(dinged) and ISB(awaiting results)

My profile
Work ex-2 years IT Role + 1.5 years Telecom Consulting Role- Total 3.5+
(1 year in UK)
GMAT-650/5.0
GPA:3.45/4.0 (BE)
Good extra curricular and acads...

I beleive the focus of Warwick is on High experience folks... Avg work ex 7-8 years... Class size is around 60-80... So high competetion... I have visited the school and done a lil research so let me know in case of any doubts...

I also intend to apply at Warwick for the Sept 09 intake.
I have my apps ready, probably will apply by this weekend.

I have 9+ yrs of work exp
poor GMAT (Decent acads (71% in BE) and 6.0/10 in MS

I am from Blore.

I have an interview call from Leeds and Durham. Yet to answer.

Lets see how things go.

Keeping my fingers crossed. Poor GMAT is big weak link in my apps.

Hi Guys,

I have sent my applications and my refrees have submitted their recos one week back. The courier has also reached one week back. How much time does it take to usually get any update from them? The 'track status' link in my online app does not show anything as of now.

My profile:
GMAT - 660
5 yrs IT experience by Aug 2009

Dont have much hopes 😞 Do let me know how much time does it take usually for them to revert.

Thanks!

me too sailing in the same boat my friend.
I have sent the apps and the supporting docs and waiting for their reply.

What I get to know that they place a lot of emphasis on exp.

lets hope for the best!!

Hello People,

I have applied to WBS and Queens only. Got admitted to queens, but no money to pay for it (trying to sort it out)!! ... Also am awaiting interview at WBS. I have a couple of questions:

1) Has anyone done a face to face interview at WBS?
2) What questions do they ask and should I prepare for?
3) Also, has someone ever been interviewed but then got rejected? What may have been the reason?

Thanks !
