out of curiosity, how many applications do you guys think one should make? I only made 3 and I'm feeling like I should have applied to more programs to have a plan B

Hi Maverick,

I created the thread, but it was dead for quite some time.  I though no one was interested.  So I did not check the thread till today and was pleasantly surprised! :D
Not heard back from any of my universities so far.  The waiting is tough...

@usphd1920Agreed. The waiting is tough, especially when results are starting to go live. At least we have this online community.

@HLB I only applied to 4 programs, and I haven't heard back from any either. Hopefully we will all start getting some good news this week. ?

@maverick__ yes good luck to you too, it's so frustrating not knowing any deadline of the reviewing process but as you said, at least we have fellow applicants to encourage each other

I applied to 13 and heard back from 5 so far. Looking back I think it's too many, and may be 7-8 would be the best number.

wow, 13, that must have been a lot of work, yeah I also think I should have applied to 3 of the less known uni just to be sure. well no point crying over spilt milk. But good luck on your applications, hope you get callback for your first-choice program

Hi my OB people, I saw gradcafe posted one interview from GIT. GIT is my top choice, so I'm very sad that I didn't get the interview invitation. Can anyone who got GIT interview share some information on the admission process (like if I still have chances of being interviewed etc)?

Congrats!!!! I didn't hear from OSU, so I guess I got rejected by them :( 

This is just a short list, meaning 1st round. Unless you get a rejection mail, I think there are still chances.

I think that post is mine. The interview is scheduled next week with 2 professors who I didn't mention in my SOP. I will ask about the admission process during the interview.

Has anyone heard from Iowa State for interview? Maybe share some tips for the interview as I was not able to find anything specific to Iowa

Thanks

Interviewed with Cornell today. I think I underperformed. Sucks since it was my top choice 

You never know. Don't feel down just yet.

Has anyone heard from Wharton? I received neither interview invitation nor rejection. But it seems that Wharton has already sent out rejection letters.

Well I guess I should be grateful I haven't yet been rejected? I'm not an anxious person but this is driving me crazy! I've had 2 interviews and rumor has it Kellogg is letting people know by the 1st!?! I was cool as a cucumber until I heard that from a current PhD student there.

I heard apply to cast a wide net and apply to 10-12 (I did 13) but I've also met people who only applied to 1 and got in.
