tm_associate Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 [h=2]To facilitate information sharing on the forum, please feel free to share as much information as you feel comfortable sharing. The following format has worked well in prior years:[/h] Notification Type (e.g., skype interview, flyout interview, waitlisted, accepted, rejected): Institution Name: Concentration Applying to (e.g., strategic management, finance, accounting, org behavior, marketing, etc.): Date of Notification: Type of Notification (e.g., email, phone, snail mail): Additional Comments: The acceptance season is just beginning, so don't despair! If you are fortunate enough to get a callback (interview or acceptance) from one of your top schools, congrats! If not, then remember ... several universities are probably pursuing the same candidates. By the time most of them make their decision, the programs that they decided not to go to are likely to have to go down the waitlist. Students at the top of their waitlists may have already accepted offers at other programs! Remember, it does't matter if you were their top pick or not! If you got in the program (for whatever reason), you're in! Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzholle Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Thanks. When do you expect to have the interview?? I had two interviews yesterday with multiple professors on the admission committee. They were supposed to be Skype, but there were issues, so they turned into phone interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzholle Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Oh! That's pretty fast! Congrats. How did it go? Could you share the specific questions they asked? They were mostly general questions like why I want a PhD, what research I am interested in, and why I applied to Michigan State. They sent me a list ahead of time with additional info about the program and told me to have questions ready for them. It was very easy-going and comfortable. It was more of a mutual discussion, rather than an interview, to make sure the fit is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutonic Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I vividly remember last cycle when these types of questions were exchanged between Silvia, Brazilian and PobleNau (or something like that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanthusARES Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I vividly remember last cycle when these types of questions were exchanged between Silvia, Brazilian and PobleNau (or something like that).

BrazilianPhD Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I vividly remember last cycle when these types of questions were exchanged between Silvia, Brazilian and PobleNau (or something like that). Yeah, it's easy to remember my time here. People even got some data from thegradecafe, like I did last year. By the way, this is what I wrote last year, in anticipation of an increase in the number of interviews after the middle of January: "From a total of 171 interviews: - 3 were in the month of December; - 2 were in January between 1st and 15th; - 52 were in January between 16th and 31st; - 99 were in February; - 11 were in March; - 4 were in April." So, expecting to see some good news here soon. It's pretty exciting to be on this side too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any idea how many people they shortlisted for the interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biff19 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Current applicant who has not yet heard from any school (to my knowledge, only one of my schools has had any activity, based on Gradcafe's self-reported system) checking in to remind all of you that: (1) A lot of people on this very forum last year didn't have their first interview until February. Things picked up a little in the back half of January, but if they don't for you, hang tough well into February. It can turn around! (2) Some people who did not get an interview in the first round of notifications last year were not rejected, but rather wait-listed, so if you've seen a program to which you applied already making some moves, you might not be totally done there. Good luck, and keep your stress low! If you applied, chances are you researched what it takes to get admitted and what programs would be a good fit for you. That doesn't guarantee admission, but it means you at least saw something in your own profile to feel like you had a shot to get in and a chance to succeed if admitted—so it's certainly possible that some department will see that, too!

Great news! Some time ago you were struggling with the GMAT and thinking about 2nd tier programs, when I suggested you to think about the GRE and aim higher. It seems at least I was right about aiming higher, since Kellogg is really amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
