naanudotneenu Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Stern has moved as well. Man, is UCLA slow. UCB also hasn't moved. I don't want to believe that USC has moved either (only rejection movements as of now). California !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

applicant0101 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hey! I have a couple of questions: 1.

My profile is GRE 1200(old format) I know its low but I address it on my SOP, took research and finance courses in my masters got A's, and also took statistical software modeling courses. B.A Marketing (South America) U.S GPA 3,83 (Academic excellence Scholarship) . Masters UT-Austin 3.6 GPA (International students honors society) . TOEFL Waived, Research as an undergrad certified by university. 1.5 years as a marketing analyst (research experience). Did consultancy and research projects in my masters. Strong recommendations. And my SOP's are well aligned with research interests of the professors from the Schools I am applying. 3.Applied marketing PhD programs: Rochester(rejected), NYU, GA Tech, Umass Amherst, Syracuse.

huan0780 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Someone posted in TGC that the Stanford acceptance post was a spam (she/he verified it with the admissions team apparently). People playing games :) Didn't get it. Why would people do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People playing games :) I really don't get the point of that. Unless it makes them feel better to see anonymous online people freak out. I saw that yesterday, but that post isn't there anymore. There's another entry I saw last night that isn't there anymore either. How do you remove TGC posts? Unless someone marked it as spam?

wannabephd Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Here's a funny story - I decided to log onto a school that I'm about 99% sure I'm not getting into. There was a new tab listed "withdraw application". My first thought - are they trying to tell me something? Curiosity got the best of me, so I wanted to know what that was about. I saw that I have the option to withdraw my application to a program I applied to (and was accepted to but turned down to go to another program) many years ago. Good to know I can withdraw my application to a program several years later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huan0780 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Got an interview form Virginia Tech. Not sure how does this school rank in CB track. Anyone has an idea? BTW, I think HKUST has almost done with their interviews. One of my friends got into their waitinglist after the interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabephd Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Aww. USC crossed off from my already small list. Mine too, and I am CB. I keep hoping for an admit w/o an interview though.

XanthusARES Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Got an interview form Virginia Tech. Not sure how does this school rank in CB track. Anyone has an idea? BTW, I think HKUST has almost done with their interviews. One of my friends got into their waitinglist after the interview. I personally think that VT is a good school. They're not as well known as other programs, but they have some really solid researchers there. You'll get a great education there, if you can stand living in the middle of nowhere for 5 years. They are one of those schools that no one has heard of, but are extremely solid in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huan0780 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thank you for your sharing! I am also wondering how long would an interview last in average? just feel that a 15-min interview doesn't sound serious enough~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endrist Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Is it online or face-to-face? I have only had online interviews and they lasted from 30 minutes to an hour, with the majority between 40-45 minutes. There were 2 interviews that lasted only 15 minutes and both of them eventually asked for second-round interviewing. I am not a veteran but, if your interviewer said that it's gonna be 15 minutes, I'd assume that it's a first-round interview (and strategize accordingly). XanthusARES interviewed in pre-WW2 era, don't trust him. Lol J/k. Anyway, I am applying to a few schools in the U.S. and a few in Europe. Most of my target schools are outside of the top 15 so my sample can be quite different from him. Different data points, different conclusions, I guess. Hope it still helps.

Different data points, different conclusions, I guess. Hope it still helps. All my future adviser needed was one look at this glorious beard and I was accepted nearly immediately. Seriously, though, I think that my interview was more of a sanity and fit check. They just wanted to make sure I would fit in and that the things I said in my application were true. Some people need a lot of time to do that, others don't. I guess they were hedging their bets on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel more agree with you. my first interview with INSEAD only last for 15 to 20 min and I know that they had a four round interview last year(freaked out!!). But i think I should also prepare as it would last for 40 minutes. What do you mean by "strategize accordingly", i don't really get it.
