naanudotneenu Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Thank you! Actually I am quite confused about the "ranking" thing~ I just get a better 'gut feel' about USC for no reason and is trying to convince myself by some rational reason. Congratulations :) Gut feel works most of the times.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kengent Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Congrats!!! That's awesome! And no suggestions on choosing between those schools. Perhaps 'ranking', placement, size of program, etc? Or location? Or 'gut feel'? Congrats, Huan0780! Are you still waiting for other offers, which are better than VT and SC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfollis Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 So, I figured I'd dump a bunch of notifications and stuff here. Don't remember any of the dates, so just posting the basics. Some aren't here (b/c schools have asked me to keep it private), so PM me if curious :) Sorry for any duplicates from earlier posts none of these are on gradcafe fyi (laziness) Institution Name: UCLA Concentration: Marketing Type of Notification: Email Notification: Phone Interview Comments: Withdrew considering I don't see myself choosing them over my other offers. Institution Name: Northwestern Concentration: Marketing Type of Notification: Email Notification: Rejection Comments: Eh, from what I heard I wouldn't fit into their style of program anyways. I need a bit more hand-holding than I hear they provide. Institution Name: UPenn Concentration: Marketing Type of Notification: Email Notification: Rejection Comments: Thought I had a chance to get off the waitlist and get an offer. Guess not. They were my #1 at the start of the process, so this one stings. Institution Name: Duke Concentration: Marketing Type of Notification: Email Notification: Rejection Comments: Not surprising for some reason. Institution Name: UCSD Concentration: Management Type of Notification: Email Notification: Acceptance Comments: Out of the blue. Definitely considering them. Risky choice-high risk with the newness of the program, but high reward with the faculty they've got. Institution Name: Columbia Concentration: Marketing Type of Notification: Email Notification: Campus Interview Comments: Visited with arcenciel on Friday. If I don't get an offer, it's ok-he deserves it more :) Institution Name: Yale Concentration: Marketing Type of Notification: Email/Phone Call Notification: Acceptance Comments: Kind of surprised. Some really top-notch applicants at the campus interview with more experience. Still surprised, even weeks later. Institution Name: Florida Concentration: Marketing Type of Notification: Email Notification: Acceptance Comments: Visited there. Weak outside of the marketing department, but the department itself is top-20. Badly underrated program. Institution Name: Toronto Concentration: Marketing Type of Notification: Email Notification: Acceptance Comments: Interviewed first. Really solid program, lots of young blood with a lot of potential. Unique and innovative. Close to home (good and bad). Institution Name: WUSTL Concentration: Marketing Type of Notification: Email Notification: Skype, Campus Interview Comments: Couldn't make the campus interview. Really like the group there, and love St. Louis, but reservations similar to UCSD. Institution Name: Carnegie Mellon Concentration: SDS Type of Notification: Email Notification: Campus Invite Comments: Visited. Really interesting program and group of people. Waiting on inevitable Chicago and NYU rejections (since I haven't heard back yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huan0780 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Congrats, Huan0780! Are you still waiting for other offers, which are better than VT and SC? It's very possible I would go SC. I am still interviewing with Arizona, just feel it doesn't hurt to talk with other professors before I make the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thereviewer Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 It's very possible I would go SC. I am still interviewing with Arizona, just feel it doesn't hurt to talk with other professors before I make the decision. Hi! I'm not new to this site - been following along - but decided it was time to start contributing. I was wondering which Arizona program you were considering: U of Arizona or Arizona State? Bc I accepted ASU's offer yesterday. **Also, I heard through the grapevine that the faculty at SC is volatile (aka high chance of leaving). So, be wary about that. I'm sure you spoke with the same member I interviewed with at SC and he's actually leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endrist Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 i am tempted to guess it's ASU? I always feel that ASU and SC are more academically comparable. UA is a decent school but it isn't quite up there with Carey and Moore, or is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you spoke with the same member I interviewed with at SC and he's actually leaving. ^I heard the exact same thing after my interview with SC. Not to say it's not a good program, but definitely something worth asking about. As for ASU vs U of A. Arizona generally implies U of A, which is a comparable program to both SC and ASU; but do your research on Tucson, IMO it's not a great place to spend 5 years.* *Disclaimer: I'm a die hard Sun Devils fan, so take this with a grain of salt :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faculty want to make sure you'll attend, so they don't waste time and effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they had two slots this year!?!? Are you both CB? I only ask because it may be that they have 1 CB and 1 quant offer to give and they're figuring out one vs the other... ETA: Or perhaps they have one more slot they've recently gotten funded for. (I'm not basing this on anything BTW) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
