thanks a lot! very useful information

作者: kobehenry 时间: 2007-2-15 09:50
so you will be interviewed by one professor only? or there would be several other profs?

re #6: sorry i don't know whether or not there will be more than one professor in the interview. all the info was in that email posted up there. but i will post about that upcoming interview once it's over.

re #4: my background is not stellar at all. no paper, some research experience as an RA in a master's program in a US school that doesn't even have a doctoral program in economics, which means it's not a research university although it's got some reputation in the quality of the students, mainly undergrads. and i m not interested in the research i did. (i was assigned to that professor rather than chose that field. ) i do have some working experience, back in China and now in the US, both finance related - previously in a financial institution; now in the asset management field. my professors in the US school wrote me recommendation letters, three of them. i took GMAT last Nov, after spending about 5 hours reviewing it - not that i was lazy but there was a good reason for this - and scored 740. not a high score for a chinese student who aimed at top programs.
i've been feeling rather pessimistic about the prospect of my application. even though there presented this interview, i still feel that it's out of my reach to get in, considering all those qualified applicants like you guys here. HOWEVER, i will stretch as much as i could to see how far i could reach.
share one saying with everyone: MAN PROPOSES, GOD DISPOSES.
不信上帝的，就是：谋事在人，成事在天。

thanks for the background.

good luck with your interview

作者: kellylau 时间: 2007-2-15 12:28

good luck.

btw: which direction are you interested in? i mean corporate finance or asset pricing. I think kellogg has more focus on corporate finance.

Good Luck!

This means your chance of being admitted increases to 50% from 2%.

Usually they will interview twice as many persons as they will admit. I think that is a rule of thumb, as told by the director of vanderbilt.
