edison2019 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 just got my rejetion email today no interview etc. Hi, sorry for hearing that. Can I ask when did you apply to the program?
Bulldog0907 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Best of luck everyone! I applied September 15th, received an interview request a week later, interviewed a week after that, and was admitted 4 days later. I imagine the early application greatly accelerated things.
edison2019 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Guys this is my first post on this forum. I applied on december 14th as an international student and got the interview call just yesterday. My interview is on saturday I was wondering if anyone who had a video conference interview could shed some light on how it was and what types of questions will be asked? I am more interested in the statistics questions they ask. I think Some one else mentioned to describe a linear regression? Any other stats related questions i should be aware of?? Hi, can I ask are you a complete international student? I mean do you have US education before or you just finished your degree in your country and apply directly to the program?
uncwncsu Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 No i am a complete international student. I dont have a us education and i will finish my degree program in april 2015. Guys any updates on the stats questions I had my interview today and they only asked me about simple linear regression as far as stats questions go! Hope that helps and good luck!
kb5522 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 any idea how many spots left for this year? I hear it is very competitive...
uncwncsu Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Hi uncwncsu thanks for the input. Any other questions that i should be aware off. Most of it is just general interview questions. Like "tell us about yourself" and "why this program?"
analyticsguy Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Has anyone who had an interview recently, heard back from them yet?
edison2019 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 No i am a complete international student. I dont have a us education and i will finish my degree program in april 2015. Guys any updates on the stats questions Such a torture for me cuz I applied in mid Jan and I'm an international student, tough waiting!!!
analyticsguy Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Actually I had my interview at the end of Feb, and still havent received a reply. People have interviewed later on and have already received an acceptance (it generally happens in 4 days looking at the info in the forums). Just wanted to know if other people too are in the same boat as me. Thanks!
hamzaq93 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Same here although i was interviewed on 7th march. From the previous posts, i believe there is some unofficial wait list. I think that the people who get accepted 2-3 days after their interview are those with excellent profiles and the interview was merely a formality to get it over with. Unfortunetly for the rest of us, we are put on hold until soneone probably rejects or accepts their acceptance offer, hence only the 2 week deadline to accept or reject the offer. At this point no news is good news but if my admission depends on someone rejecting an offer on NCSU, well you dont need to be a genius to determine that the odds arent in our favor. Well atleast thats what i think.
bolzanodubs Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I interviewed March 4th and admitted on March 10th.. I have an friend who's an international student who's def stuck on the waiting list. Best of luck to everyone!
hamzaq93 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Hi bolzanodubs congrats on your admission. Could you please clear something up for me. When you got the acceptance did u get an email saying you were accepted or were you told to check your status on the ncsu apply grad page.
bolzanodubs Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Thank you!! I received an email from the school directly. Then I checked my status on the NCSU apply grad page and was able to accept the invite there. Also, to those who aren't aware, they are extending the size of this years cohort from 80 to 120 (as well as moving to a new building) so that should give everyone who's still waiting to hear a bit more hope!
hamzaq93 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Hi thanks. Yup just got my acceptance to the program. Was interviewed on 7th march and accepted on the 12th. Good luck for the rest of the applicants.
hamzaq93 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Guys any other Pakistani's applying and any who have gotten admitted??
kb5522 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Congrats to all that got in! Could you guys/girls share your major/GPA/work experience? only if you dont mind...
hamzaq93 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Gpa 3.7/4 from a top 3 undergrad business schook in Pakistan. Majors in accounting and finance. No postgraduate work experience however have 2 internships related to statistics. And i also have my own small business ( a catering company).
cs14 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Had an interview yesterday (application complete 1/20) so there are either spots still left or they are filling the waitlist, we'll see! Kathy indicated that at this point final decisions are being made very quickly.
dks Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Hi, I applied as an international student and have my online video conference interview scheduled on 17th March. hamzaq93 - Since you too appeared for online interview. Can you pls give some idea about the kind of questions asked in the interview ? Stats questions ? Thanks
cs14 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 True to their word, fast turn around. I was accepted today-decision posted online. My interview question was also to explain simple linear regression in a way that someone non-technical could grasp. For the in-person there was an actual white board to utilize. Anyhow, best of luck to those still interviewing and looking forward to meeting/working with those who will be enrolling!
hamzaq93 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Hi cs14 and other international admits. Did you get a chance to look at the certificate of financial responsibility. Does anyone know what we have to submit along with that: bank statements?bank letter?
analyticsguy Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Guys after a long wait a decision status is available in my application link. I still havent received an email though?... Is that ok? and just to confirm in the decision status link, there is a link to confirm your intent, you have to fill up the CFR form and the program mentioned is Analytics-MS.. am I right?
