Has anyone heard back for interviews?

Sorry not trying to be too nosy but was it the management phd program at wharton?

Well, I have heard that generally all PhD in Business schools in whichever field it might be offer phone interviews...

I am also losing my mind. This sitting around waiting is seriously killing me. But on a more rational note, I guess schools are just starting to review the applications. There was something missing in my Tepper application and I called them when they did not respond to my email. The admissions official told me that the applications have not been sent to the review committees yet. INSEAD's confirmation email also said that the committee meets in February.
Perhaps the Dec 1-15 deadlines are reviewing (Harvard, Stanford and the likes) but I don't think I have a shot in those schools anyways. Applied to waste money
Anyhow, good luck to all, I hope you can keep sane

So are there generally interviews for top PhD programs? Even for HBS, Columbia, etc? Is there anyone who has done interviews yet for top-tier programs? If so, would you mind sharing your experiences? Thanks!

Well, I know for a fact that they all conduct phone interviews...

Did anyone interview with GW? If so, can you post some comments about the interview questions u were asked. Thanks.

Ancalagon - how did you know this? Do the schools indicate this on the application when you submit it? I did not see any interviews mentioned on the brochures nor on their website.

Thanks!

Some say on their websites that they will interview top-tanked candidates but it really depends I guess. I had written earlier about this and someone had replied that a friend of his got into top ranked programs such as Wharton without an interview and rejected from others after an interview.

Did anyone get an interview offer from NYU Strategy? Someone on another forum mentioned they got an invitation by email today.

Well, they interview all "shortlisted" candidates... that is those candidates who are deemed to be good enough to be offered admissions... it is the last step in the weeding out process...
