Scholarship Interview .........I am in a dilemma

[Shehryar]

good luck mm!

i had my interview on wednesday. it didnt go as well as i wanted but its done now. And i have to wait long for the decision, which will probably be confirmed in around october.
Do they put a lot of weight on the interview or is it the application and GRE that counts more?

well the gre score is just a prerequisite for the application..as i ve read sumwhere they have rejected people having gre in 1400s and selected people have gre as low as 1050..its only a selection criteria for the unis and not for usefp...in da interview,people say they have no rite or wrong answer..its more of like a personality test and checking the confidence level alongwith knowing more abt the subject..so u took it on wednesday,that mean still they are calling people..which subject did u apply for?

[Shehryar]

I applied for the MA Economics. yeah thy right abt the selection criteria but i hope that if im selected, i get into one of the preferred universities that i gave.
what about u? what program did u apply for?

I will be praying for you too!! Right now I am praying for me also to win in the online application. I also have applied to a area that I never seen someone applying here (focus in risk management), and they told me also that I surprised them with my choice.... I believe that if you went well in the interview (I mean, if you explain to them why you believe it´s important then you are going to win ).. Thank you for explaining me the process, I was confused
By the way, where are you from?

Hi all!

I'll be having my interview next wednesday, and I'm getting pretty nervous! And to make things worse, it looks like I won't get my TOEFL scores on time... It was not even my fault, that's what makes me really angry: The ETS lady couldn't find my test center code, and instead of taking the test in July, I ended up taking it in August. So I'm basically going to the interview knowing I won't make it... Oh well, I get the experience for next year.

Wish me luck anyway! :-D
