Hi Kevin,

I am curious about how you know these inside information?

The deadline of Temple University is Dec. 15th, this Friday, so I am wondering if the admission comittee will start reviewing the application so early.

Anyway, thank you for your information : )

the professors @ my dpt. recommend 4 MA & MBA students who apply to the institutes mentioned above. and these professors have very close connection, eg.research project, with professors in those univs. they got the news this morning from Temple. for other univs, these are old pieces of news.

temple will review the application materials as what i mentioned, if you have any question, feel free to contact them

btw, the Albanian student i mentioned is from my dpt. she did a on-campus interview in October and met with the chair of the admissions committee. the chair, along with two famous professors in my dpt, recommended her to a faculty who plan to initiate a research/governtal-funding project on international HRM @ EU (with the involvment of Morgan Stanley)

Does the campus interview help she get the preliminary offer?

the most important thing is that her background is very very excellent. although her GRE is only 1250, it doesn't matter 'cause a lot of foreign students have very low GT scores. btw, her awa is 5.5. she has completed two projects with the help of our dpt professors; one is for Washington Mutual while the other is for Shell.

i personlly consider her on-campus interview as a enhancement rather than a critical factor. she speaks very fluent English (even without accent 'cause she took her undergrad in a english-speaking univ which is sponsored by American financial groups and whose faculty positions are filled with Americans). she has reasonable research plan. and most importantly, one of the MSU faculties will initiate a research project to which her research interest and background will greatly match.

Are her projects more like empirical research for independent study/publication purpose or consulting?

the project with Washington Mutual is totally a group consuliting project which had been carried by three professors from my dpt, University of Pittsburgh, and Georgia State University. she is not the only grad student getting involved in the project whose success, if I remember correctly, shall be partially attributed to 5 grad students. but she is the one who exclusively drafted the 3rd edition of the counter-proposal given by a famous consulting corp, the strategic partner to which Washington Mutual has been outsourcing its organizational development strategy, and the only student of these five, whose presence had been made to Washington Mutual HQ as a main partner of this project.

the other one had been done before i came here. i knew little about it. but i am sure it is not for the purpose of publication.
