I got the wind that Ivey will send people to mainland recently to interview applicants. Can anybody confirm this news and provide some detail? Thanks!

Ulsa

right, dear offeroffer! I was invited but I changed to a telephone interview:

The letter is as following:
Thank you for your recent application to the Richard Ivey School of Business MBA Program.

As part of the application process, we would like to arrange an admissions interview with you.  The purpose of an admissions interview is to gain more knowledge about you, which will assist the Admissions Committee in reviewing your application.

Your interview location is:

Hilton Beijing
1 Dong Fang Road
Chaoyang, Beijing

Please check at the front desk of the hotel, when you arrive regarding the location of the Ivey Board Room we have rented for interviewing, as well as the class.   We expect that the name of the board room we will use will be "The Zhou Dynasty Room".  The class and interviews will be in the same location at the hotel.

(1)  Class/Case Discussion -- 6:30 p.m. -  8:00 p.m.,  Tuesday, March 25, 2003

(2)  Individual Interview:     March 25,   8:30 p.m.   

The case discussion will include a group of Ivey MBA applicants.  A very short case will be distributed at that time.

The interview, like any business interview, will focus on your background and your future aspirations within and beyond the Ivey MBA Program.  Would you please bring a passport size photogroaph of yourself to the interview.  The interview wil be approximately 20 minutes.

If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you are declining the opportunity to interview with us, otherwise, please confirm both appointments above.

Ulsa,

Why change to phone interview!? I was experienced 3 phone interview and 1 face to face, and I definitely think Face to Face can express yourself properly. The mutual  reaction and eye contact make you confident and confortable!

Agree with Jeffrey that vis-a-vis interview has an advantage over a telephone one.
Ulsa,wcould you mind telling when you applied and when you received the invitation? I applied at the end of R2 and haven't got the invitation. Worrying about my chance to get in...
