The group has gone a bit too silent. So Guys any updates?  I haven't heard back from any program since my reject from UMD.

Visit Days

Has anyone been admitted to a program without a visit day or on-campus interview? I don't think I want to accept without visiting but the trip may be pricey on my own dime.

[What Does A Doctor Networking Event Mean?]

Hi, DId you ever go to this? I was also invited this year. Since they are a newer program I imagine they do events like this to convince students to come. They have some interesting professors and are AACSB accredited now. I will likely go since it is paid and I am genuinely curious about the program.

And what about the PhD program at Boston University, Questrom?

I applied at Questrom. Have not heard anything either

Congratulations to your offer! At least you got something in your hand. My minimum requirement is at least sending me some interview invitations. I read a post somewhere else said the person who applied to nearly 20 schools got silent rejections to all of them. It really freaks me out. 

I also applied to 20 schools and I am so happy I did. I have had only 4 Skype interviews and 1 offer. Reading forums I hear that it is bad form to ask a school that you haven't heard anything from about status. But a friend of mine applying to MBA had success in prodding the schools with a polite email. Would it be different for Ph.D. programs?

Thanks for the update, OBforme. Kenan-Flagler OB interviews were last week and this week. Notifications will likely be sent out next week.

 

Drat, I was thinking I had a chance at UNC. Did you interview there?

Would you mind sharing some interview experience such as questions they asked when you finish that?

The interviewer seemed genuinely interested in my research. He had read the master's thesis I submitted with my application and the bulk of the interview was very collegial. He asked why I wanted to pursue a PhD, what interests me about the subject area, and why I chose to apply to their school. It lasted about 25-30 minutes. There was plenty of time at the end for my questions as well. I think it went very well and was definitely a little boost after my Wharton rejection.

I also just wrapped up my applications to Management PhD programs (Organizational Behavior). I applied to almost 20 schools in the US and so far have only heard back from one (that requested a Skype interview). At least no rejections yet, lol.
