Graduate School Admission Results

TPB. I also had my interview on 24 February. I receive the admission letter via email on 1st March.

I have not received any response since the first interview. For those who were interviewed again, what was this second interview about?

[Not waitlist] Did they send out any interviews? Anyone received an interview? Haven't received anything from them, maybe they just send out rejections in batches.

Email from Vrinda Kadiyali Director of Graduate Studies Graduate Field of Management. Not easy for a student from Africa to get into a good Ph.D. program in the US. These people definitely think whatever we were taught is shit. 5 rejections from these types of schools. Hope the small schools will make it.

Mail from the graduate coordinator of Management

I am not sure if they have ever looked at the applications. Not even a single person reported that they were interviewed which is sketchy. Nice way to make money 🥰

One issue that influence the result was that one of my referees is an international consultant but has no institutional e-mail domain. Her @gmail reference letter was discarded :/

The fifth one, probably try next year.

TPB: Thanks for the information. Best wishes to all of us.

TPB: May I ask when you had your interview? I had mine on Feb 24.

TPB: I got it from "Vrinda Kadiyali Director of Graduate Studies Graduate Field of Management"

[Not Waitlist] TPB: How did you get the notification? Email from program or specific professor? Could you let me know who send you the email? TKS in advance!

15th reject. Planning to drop PhD plans, continue in the corporate sector.

TPB: I got a letter within a week after the interview. The deadline is tight (1 week) and I have other options. I might decline the offer. Don't lose hope.

I'm the poster below who had asked if anyone had heard back. Email to check portal, what a wonderful surprise. Will wait until after visit days to make a final decision, but the offer looks quite attractive.

Rejected after interview. TPB: What other offers are you declining. Desperately in need of some hope here.
