tm_associate Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 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: 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...
