Please try and keep comments (even congratulatory ones) to the sweat thread so that this thread has a high signal/noise ratio. I suggest other disciplines make a similar thread so we can keep things compartmentalized.

I guess I'll get the ball rolling for this thread. I believe the following information would be helpful for management applicants:

 

Institution Name:

Concentration (e.g. Strategy, OT, OB):

Date of Notification:

Type of Notification (e.g. email/phone/snail mail):

Notification (e.g. Interview / Waitlisted / Accepted):

Good luck everyone!

Institution Name: Wharton

Concentration: Management

Notification: Skype Interview

Posted on GradCafe?: No

Comments: Still in shock. This would be a dream come true. Also, they are interviewing 12 other people.

 

On another note, I got my first rejection today (from Case Western OB), which didn't feel so bad after the Wharton news :)

Congrats. I got my rejection from Case for OB a few days ago too. Still holding breath for a silver lining through.

Congrats on the interview melek! Such a great program. Did you get the impression that they were done sending out interview requests to those 12 people?

 

Thank you :) I'm really not sure if they sent them out to 12 people at once. My interview was scheduled 2 weeks after the date of notification, though, if that helps. The time slots were also pretty limited. I hope that helps somewhat!

That makes sense. Thanks for the response!

 

My interview was scheduled 2 weeks after the date of notification

 

I assume that means you haven't had the interview yet, right? If so, then good luck!

Texas A&M Interview:

Interviewer (an Associate Professor) had taken the efforts to know about my application in & out. Very specific questions about my education and career choices; No direct questions but inferential discussion and conversational tone. Didn't realise that we chatted for one hour. Interviewer was very engaging and kept a neutral stance about school: neither under nor over sold the school. To be followed up by another set of interview with two to three Professors.

 

PSU:

Phone call with two (associate) professors. Very direct and standardized set of questions (Why PhD, why PSU, What challenges you see in this PhD journey, any questions you have for us). Both Professors very encouraging and forthcoming about school.

 

Hope this helps.

Congratulations on the multiple interviews! Do you mind if you share with us your major (OB or Strategy)? By the way, I am strategy. I am just wondering whether it is the same person who interviewed us. You really had a very long and nice talk with the interviewer. I only talked with that professor for around 30 minutes :( Did the interviewer ASSURED you that you will have a second round interview very soon? My interviewer did tell me about the second round but he did not tell me whether I will be selected for that. Good luck for your applications and I really appreciate it if you can keep updating your progress here :)

Hi!

 

I am a MICRO applicant. I was interviewed by a OB-HR (Associate) professor. From what I understand this was the first round of interview, and is to be followed up by second round. I can't recall if the interviewer assured me about the second round interview, but interviewer did mention that they will get back to me soon.
