strat2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I heard from my friend that Wharton called. Not sure about Haas. Which track did your friend apply for? OB or strategy?:dejected: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tad2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Okay... I presume top micro-OB programs have started on-campus round of interviews???... (saw someone's tweet... who is for sure gonna get a bunch of good offers) I guess no interviews means ... well whatever ... Good luck to those who received on-campus interviews!!

They have started, yes, but I'd guess only 1/3 of schools have sent out invites yet. A lot will happen in February. You can look at Grad Cafe to see when specific programs are sending invites.

You can look at Grad Cafe to see when specific programs are sending invites. I followed someone on Twitter who is quite famous/popular/"well-known" among the profs/phds/pre-docs.. but I wont say who coz I guess this is a pretty small circle... I had an interview earlier this week... the invite sent out at 5pm-ish, confirmed my interview timeslot at 8pm-ish & had my interview on the following day at 5pm-ish.... almost no time to prepare at all.... is it the usual interview scheduling? Saw someone already posted the same school's interview invite on gradcafe. I will add mine later as a reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I considered tweeting about my progress, but figured it'd be too tacky if any faculty saw, so I was just curious how they were going about it. I had an interview earlier this week... the invite sent out at 5pm-ish, confirmed my interview timeslot at 8pm-ish & had my interview on the following day at 5pm-ish.... almost no time to prepare at all.... is it the usual interview scheduling? That sounds like on the fast end. Mine have been from 2 days to a week in advance, but the faculty usually gave me a week of dates to choose from.

strat2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I am thinking if management/strategy departments act extremely slow this year or those who got interviews did not post on gradcafe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say it's usual, but it can happen. When I was applying, I got one on the same day. Email from professor in the morning, interview in the afternoon.

nouseforaname Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Did you interview with them? I interviewed with them for Marketing and haven't heard back. No interview, just straight rejection. Kinda bummed but if it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be! Still waiting to hear from 9 more schools (no interviews yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tad2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 @instajar & @BrazilianPhD Thanks for the reply! btw... Some OB program updates that I have heard of: 1. truly top-top Management (micro-OB) has given out offers. (the one that gave out rejection letters last week. If you did not receive rejection letter last friday but have yet to receive calls, it probably is gonna be a relatively good news??) 2. another truly top-top Micro-OB program are in the process of final round of interviews. Since this school said explicitly that all accepted students must receive interviews during their webcast info session, if you did not receive any interview, I guess... well... I just hate that... why cant they just give out straight rejection from the beginning and only keep those advancing to the next round. 3. an top European school has given out interviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
instajar Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Just had an interview with Boston University (Quant marketing). Was a disaster! Sorry to hear that. What went wrong? FYI, a lot of people think they tanked interviews that actually went fine :) Faculty are rarely as critical towards you as you are towards yourself.

I have not received an interview request but wasn’t rejected in the slate of notices that went out last week. Any sense of what that means? if you are referring to W School's micro-OB, the interview invites were sent out mid-Jan & look out for phone calls from Philly. If you did not receive interview invite but did not receive email to check decision, did you check on your application portal as well (if rejected, the letter is in your app portal)? If not, I guess it might still be a good chance that you are not really rejected (& maybe still in their consideration)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
