FrankyFer Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I am really confused. Are the universities moving exceptionally slow this year or this is the standard timeline. There's hardly any movement in marketing. Starting to worry a bit now. I heard from Booth to expect a slower timeline than in years past because they received more applications than on a usual year and it is taking them longer than usual to go through them. So best to do right now is to wait and try to manage our anxiety! I applied to 14 schools for Management/OB and have only heard back from one of them (have an interview next week).

BrazilianPhD Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I am really confused. Are the universities moving exceptionally slow this year or this is the standard timeline. There's hardly any movement in marketing. Starting to worry a bit now. When I applied a few years ago, I did some analyses based on GradCafe. For interviews in marketing, it was usually something like this: 10% Jan 1-15, 45% Jan 16-31, 40% Feb, and the remainder after that. So, things should just be starting really.

BrazilianPhD Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Applied to 16 unis. (...) Thats a lot. I have realised it for the 100th time now. I'd say 16 is pretty normal for applicants in marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This definitely helps. Although I am not sure how i feel about the Ross Interview invites and the one IU interview invite on GC. Don't know if the invites all come on a single day or are spaced out. So it's more of a waiting game at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of people that received an interview from Ross yesterday, so it's likely that they sent out most (if not all) of their interview invites already.

BrazilianPhD Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Is it just an unspoken rule that a 'conversation' or 'chat' means 'interview'? I suppose "interview" is the official word. But I think "conversation" is actually a better word to describe what happens, at least based on the experience I had. "Interview" gives me the feeling that one person is asking the questions and another person is answering those questions. But my interviews were more like back-and-forth communication, with both sides asking questions, commenting about the different topics, presenting their perspectives, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMAT800 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Has anybody heard back from a Finance program? I applied to 20 of the top 30 (US&Canada) programs, but haven't heard anything yet. My professor (at a top 10 school) told me most interviews would be in Feb, but I'm already getting soooo anxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggington Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Oof, it looks like NYU marketing already started sending interview invites--hoping they're rolling them out rather than doing them all at once.
