FrankyFer Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Did we confirm that ASU sent out interviews yet? - Also, has anyone heard from U of Wash, Mich St., or Boston College? For OB/management U of Washington has reached out to their shortlist for OB. I haven't heard anything regarding Michigan State yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gzugel Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 How long does it normally take from final interview to admissions decision? I had a final last wed but still haven't heard back. Is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyFer Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 How long does it normally take from final interview to admissions decision? I had a final last wed but still haven't heard back. Is that normal? I would think so. Did you ask them about "next steps" or what to expect from the timeline during your interview? In a recent final interview this is the timeline I got: 1 week to finish interview all final candidates 1 week for the recruiting committee to come together, discuss, and select 1 week for bureaucratic internal process for the school to approve offers. This leads up to three weeks total of waiting time within a timeframe that makes sense. My recommendation would be to always make sure to ask for next steps, decision timelines, etc. More information = less anxiety. Hope that helps!

I heard from my interviewer that they had a committee late last week to make final decisions. So maybe around a week or so to go through the bureaucratic process? Thank you for your insights, I wish you all the best this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp1410 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I thought every university was going to reject me as I haven’t heard from any American or Canadian uni but finally yesterday I got an interview invitation from an European business school. Very excited! For those that have already interviewed, what kind of questions were you asked? Do you have any advices? I am very nervous as it is my first interview and I do not want to mess it up!

Very excited! For those that have already interviewed, what kind of questions were you asked? Do you have any advices? I am very nervous as it is my first interview and I do not want to mess it up! Thanks! Congrats! I interviewed with 5 management programs so far (so maybe this is only relevant to management). Every interview was slightly different, but for the most part they focused on asking questions about my research interests/ideas. Here's a list of some questions: 1. Tell me about yourself 2. Could you talk about your current research project (I'm a research assistant right now) 3. Could you explain your research interests in X? Why are you interested in X? (and I got a lot of follow-up questions specific to my interests that wouldn't be helpful to list here) 4. Why do you want to come to this school/program? 5. What methodologies are you interested in using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! This wiki has compiled interview questions from both macro and micro applicants last year. start [business PhD Wiki] Interviewed with 10 programs in OB/management so far, and 2 slightly challenging questions are: 1. Tell me about your favorite researcher in the field. What is a paper you read recently? 2. Why OB/management... not sociology? Best of luck!

gzugel Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Does anyone have any tips to limit anxiety while waiting to hear back after final interviews? It is all I can think about this week and it making it difficult to do anything else very well haha. Is anyone else in a similar boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katykand Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Hey does anybody know how long does it usually take for INSEAD to get back with results after interview? My second interviewer indicated that they've had some delays due to Covid, but that would be trying to finish up decisions in the next week or so and then would be going through the administrative process of offers.

plzletmein Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Has anybody heard from Booth Behavioral Science? I interviewed with them last week but haven't heard back about a decision yet. Seems like Stanford OB (at least for micro) sent out offers without an interview... is this normal? Seems kind of weird to offer someone a 5-year position before meeting them lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, I didn't see it on Grad Cafe. As for Stanford, to my knowledge, that's normal. I gather they believe that interviews add nothing and only confound their judgment.

I gather they believe that interviews add nothing and only confound their judgment. I'm not sure whether Booth is going to continue rolling out interviews -they said they'll have final decisions around two weeks from now. And the idea that interviews add nothing is interesting - I personally do not think any of mine helped, but if I were hiring students I'd probably at least check to make sure they weren't a psychopath.
