Interview duration

by achal.kumble » Fri Dec 01, 2006 1:06 am
Hi Stacy,

I just finished my interview with Tepper.

The interviewer said at the beginning of the interview that she would keep the Interview short.
The interviewer asked standard questions such as "Why MBA", "Why Now" & "Why Tepper"
It lasted for 15 mins and the feedback I got from the interviewer was positive.
Does the duration of the interview have any impact on the probability of getting admitted?
What chance do you think I have of getting in?
I scored 730 on the GMAT.

Regards,

Achal

Was this an on campus interview? Sometimes a short interview can indicate that you and the interviewer did not establish a good "flow", which would be a negative. Or it can indicate that the specific questions they had were answered and they achieved what they needed to in the interview. Did they give you an opportunity to ask questions?

Don't read too much into a short interview. I know someone who conducts off-campus Kellogg interviews; she recently interviewed a candidate for only 20 minutes and was sufficiently impressed during that short time to write a positive recommendation.

Congrats on getting to the interview stage at Tepper!

Hi Stacy,

The interview was a telephonic one.
Yes, they gave me the oppurtunity to ask questions.

Regards,

Achal
