你好!

是不是面试没通过的话,后面的package就不用再提交了,emory的申请就可以结束了.

另外,下面的这两个deadline前提交的package,是不是都是在2月份集中面试? 还是中间会有校友面试?

November 1, 2009 - Early Deadline

December 1, 2009* - Recommended International Deadline

I got the feedback from admission office. See below comments. Let me know if it does not answer your questions.

Q1: If they requested for interview in Sept MBA tour before submitting package but did not receive the interview invitation, does that mean they are filtered out completely? 

No! There were a limited number of spaces which filled up quickly. They should still move forward with the application if they are interested!

Q2: Have all interview invitations of Sept MBA tour in Shanghai & Beijing been sent out? If not, is there a estimated cut-off date?

The interview slots filled up very quickly but please encourage people to come to The MBA Tour fair. I will be there to meet them and we will have alumni there as well!

Q3: If candidates are not interviewed in Sept MBA tour, I suppose they may expect for an interview in Jan 2010? Is there any difference for people who submit before 1 Nov 2009 from those submit before 1 Dec 2009? Is it possible to get video interview or phone interview during the process?

International students should apply by December 2009. If they have not already interviewed when they apply, their applications will be reviewed and possibly recieve an invitation to interview in person or via phone or video.

觉得校方的这些回答都是套话，没什么实际意义，尤其是Q2的回答。

个人感觉，如有冒犯，请楼主见谅！

Thank  you for sharing your feeling.

I would say let's be realistic. Non-official reply is always subjective, varying from person to person. And official reply is of that typical standard. This applies to all business schools, not only Goizueta. "It depends" does work a lot in the real world.

What I can share with you is that Kathleen may only have time to interview 3-4 candidates (45-min for each or so) in each city as she only stays there for 1 or 2 days. Her schedule is really tight. So the above reply is quite reasonable from my perspective.

If I were in this specific condition, I would submit my package even without interview invitation. First, if not, the probability for my admission is zero. Second, it's only early September, isn't it?

But I am not the decision maker here. Whether or when to give up is your personal choice, though I'd love to give you all available reference information here and I hope you won't.

One more point, making judgments in ambiguity is also a quality that most b-schools are seeking for.

其实在递交package前，仅看resume就面试，以前是很多大学的通行做法，包括M7的一些学校。
也许最近几年MBA申请者太多了，学校也懒的这么做了。
也许usnews的排名压力也起了作用。因为学校这么做，很难让更多人申请。

我想emory对感兴趣的申请者，至少会来个十几分钟的电话面试啥的，即便没有时间。

关于提交材料之后面试的时间，我个人去年的经历是提交了材料，但是没有排进上海的面试，后来1月才video interview的，一周后给了录取决定。

我印象中其他好些申请人也是如此。其实原因很简单，adcom在上海能呆的时间很短，排不进多少人的，自然会有不少人需要等到以后才面试。所以大家尽早联系尽早提交，如果实在排不进也不是特别严重的事情，实际上我知道的去年和我一起1月video interview的上海发了不少于3个offer.所以adcom的上述回答，实际上是很客观的陈述事实，不是敷衍的套话。

buenas

Goizueta2011,

我有幸拿到了北京的面试。可是通知里说要我带photo id。我只有身份证和工作证上是有照片的~~~kathleen不会把我的身份证留下吧？？

I think it's just for confirming your identity...she will not return to Goizueta with your ID card... :-)

Good luck!

其实不看身份证的。带上你的resume就行了，身份证备用。
