Folks! my friend received a phone call from Carlson for an interview last thursday. They interviewed him and he was offered an admission via phonE. The next day, Friday, he received a mail which said that his admission is condition on another's status and if that guy declines then he would be given preference. Though my friend is otherwise fine with all this, he asked me whether the commitee was not sure of interviewing him but did it and offered an admit, but later on had other opinion so replied this way to keep him silent. he also trusts the commitee as he believes that scholars of that rank would always be righteous in conduct and judicious while making any move. Besides, he hasnot yer heard from UCLA/IBCM program and Rotman. He applied to Strategic management and International business to a select few univs, the mentioned being part of that little list :). Any inputs as to how he can interpret this?
