Business School Interviews??

[nazzaz99]

Hi!!

Has anyone heard for interviews from business schools, especially Stanford and Northwestern? Thanksss.

And of course, which programs?

I saw on the TestMagic boards that someone heard from Kellogg earlier this week about an interview- no more info than that, though.

Personally, I'm waiting impatiently on Wharton...

Yeah I saw that and others at Harvard. I applied to OB, I do hope it differs for each program:(

I have a friend whom Harvard admitted several weeks ago. He interviewed there several weeks before that, I believe. He was rejected from Stanford, I think.

Sounds like your friend was probably interviewing for MBA programs. I was just assuming that the OP was referring to interviews for business PhD programs...but that might just have been me projecting my own anxieties.

I just got off the phone with Wharton - they're inviting candidates for the Health Care Management and Economics program for in-person interviews on Feb. 14 or 15.

Still doing the happy dance

Yes, I was asking for the PhD programs, sorry I should have specified.

Congrats for the Wharton interview, you deserve to do the happy dance:)

So far, I'd been so focused on getting to the interview stage that I hadn't paid much heed to what happens after that. Generally speaking, 1) what percentage of interviewed candidates are eventually admitted, and 2) how long is the time lag between the interview and final decisions?

I'm sure that this varies tremendously by field, but any insight would be valuable!
