ZAPHD Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yep each department does their own thing. Generally there is no connection between departments and when they decide to send out invites or acceptances. Thank you very much I was stressing a bit when I saw the other specializations sent out interview requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBHopeful2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yep each department does their own thing.

Within departments, marketing for example, are invitations for Quant and CB usually sent out together or separate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHD Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I would absolutely do the skype interview. Some schools should almost always be chosen over others, but preference and fit matter a lot. You could talk to some professors at school 12 and find out that you like the school better than you thought for whatever reason. Don't eliminate options without gathering enough information. On a side note - If you are really sure that you aren't going to go to a school and aren't open to changing your mind, then a skype interview might be ok, but don't go out there. It is a waste of time and other resources for everyone involved. I know of a student that visited somewhere thinking that they would get into a better place (and they did get into a good school), so they didn't take the day too seriously. It left a bad impression and academia is a small social circle. Yet again you have helped me so much. I followed your advice and I am really glad that I did!

XanthusARES Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Within departments, marketing for example, are invitations for Quant and CB usually sent out together or separate? I'm going to give an entirely unsatisfying answer to this...it depends. This is completely department specific. It depends on whether they are looking to bring in both quant and CB or just one or the other. It depends on who's leaving the program. It depends on which faculty are looking for students. How much money the department has available for students. Which faculty are on the committee. Who they hired. The number of applications they received. Who the faculty are friends with. All of these, plus more I'm not currently thinking about, different things. Before I go out on a limb and speculate, I am going to repeat that this is both school and department specific. If I was forced to make a broad generalization I would posit that they go out at different times. That being said a different time might mean 10 AM for quant and 2 PM for CB. I doubt that most schools would be more than say 3 weeks apart if they are separate. Again, though, I can't really say. A lot depends on the things I said above. And, if you noticed, these things are constantly changing from year to year so what a school does one year they might not do the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHD Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Of course that is only if you can. Sorry, I didn't mean to pry. No problem. Sorry for only replying now. I received interviews from UIUC, UNC, Rochester and Iowa. I noticed on gradcafe that Austin and Michigan also sent out interview requests (not sure how "true" those are though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfetzer Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi all! Good to see others are sweating it out just like me. I'm an OB applicant and applied to these schools: Boston College Stanford WTO program Penn State Arizona State Michigan Georgia Tech UT Austin I got my first interview invite yesterday, from Boston College. They invite about 10 people out for an on-campus interview and then make offers after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obhrphd16 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Does anyone have any advice on withdrawing applications? I have accepted an offer (OB/HR applicant and happy to share the university names once I withdraw my app) and I would like to withdraw my application other universities. Is e-mail the best (especially if you have had interactions with them) or is there typically an online form to fill out? Thanks for the help and good luck everyone!

XanthusARES Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 General question: when is the latest we can expect to hear from schools? It's still extremely early. You will hear from most schools by the beginning of April. I wouldn't start worrying too much unless you haven't heard anything by late March.

Just shoot out an email to the programs. Be gracious about it and thank them for their time. Most schools will appreciate receiving the email. There are no official forms that I know of to withdrawal. If you had specific contact with faculty you should definitely email them directly.

INSEAD Austin Michigan Georgia Ohio Texas A&M Indiana Purdue General question: when is the latest we can expect to hear from schools? I heard from most schools by mid-march. I still got good news in mid-February and had one school that I was basically waitlisted for that I contacted in late March. I think Grad Cafe is pretty reliable. There is very little motive to put out false interviews. Also, given the schools that you have heard from, I would reiterate my earlier assessment that you want to go through with all of the interviews. They are all good schools without a huge difference in quality that I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emails that start with thank you have ALWAYS resulted in rejections for me in the past, without fail. Be they academic, or professional. I can't stand these thank you emails.
