קיבלת תשובות חיוביות בסיבוב הראשון?

מהרווארד היית אמור לקבל לפני כשבועיים הודעה שהאפליקיישן שלך שלם. את זה כן קיבלת, נכון?

ראשית, תודה על התשובה המהירה.

אני בשלבים מאד ראשוניים של התלבטות אם בכלל ללמוד בחו"ל או לוותר על הרעיון (הקוסם לכאורה) וללמוד בארץ.

למיטב הבנתי, יש מסלולים/בתי ספר שבהם אפשר ללמוד במשך שנה וכאלה שבהם ניתן ללמוד במשך שנתיים.

האם משך תקופת הלימודים משנה לעניין אישור עבודה?

האם יש למישהו מידע על מסלולים/בתי ספר שבהם ניתן לסיים את התואר בשנה? האם יש עדיפות מסויימת, מכל בחינה שהיא, ללימודים על פני שנה אחת?

Yoni-

That's correct. 100% of the classses at HBS are based on the case method. I think it is a very powerful tool for 3 main reasons: 1. the discussion is focused on real business dilemas and not fictitious ones. 2. every case invloves issues from different business arenas (i.e., finance, strategy, operations) and thereby, allows you to deal with several dimensions of a certain business situation (again, this is a good reflection of the "real world"). 3. The case method exposes you to numerous industries and companies. This knowledge is very useful in case you will have to deal with a relevant industry/company in the future.

Thanks.

בקשר לויזה אז זה לא משנה. אתה תמיד מקבל ויזה לתקופת הלימודים + שנה אחת.

אני יודע על קלוג ואמורי שיש להם תכניות של שנה בארצות הברית. יש גם באירופה אבל אני לא כ"כ מבין בזה. את זה כדאי שתשאל את גלעם. הוא מומחה בזה.

Hey gbiron,

Do you know about any Israelis admitted in R1? Last year I heard that NYU was looking for Israelis, however I don't see any admitted students on this forum.

I read your previous messages, sounds like you too are exhausted by waiting for admissions decision. I personally quit sleeping about two weeks ago…

Does anybody know if Wharton waits till the last second of the deadline to tell someone that he doesn't get an invitation for an interview?

Did anyone get a negative answer from Wharton before the last deadline when they release all the answers?

Thanks.

Interview invitations go out all the time till the deadline. On the day of the deadline everyone who didn't get an interview invitation will receive a formal "ding" email.

One other thing – don't stress if you hear of Israelis who got interviews and you didn't. The order of interview invitations is random and doesn't depend on your country of origin.

I believe you're mistaken. According to BW forums from last year people got invitation up until the very last moment – on decision-day!

And u r right too:

"Just to give some perspective from round 1 and so that you guys don't tailspin into a mexicobanker fiasco, I submitted 3 days before the deadline date (10/13), my recommendations came in on the deadline date (10/16), I waited and waited for an invite as others all over the world, from all different backgrounds, etc received them (Nov, Dec, Jan), gave up hope (mid Jan), got an invite three days before (1/18) the decision date to interview 4 days after (1/25, a sunday) the decision date and was accepted two weeks after (2/3) the decision date of 1/21.

Also, the interviewer asked me if there was anything I would change about the application process and I mentioned the whole issue of intransparency ( I said I liked how it made people sweat). She said that when the adcoms periodically get on these and other boards they tear their hair out reading crackpot theories about what HBS is doing. She said there is so many apps that there isn't a whole lot of method to the madness.

You can believe me or call me a liar, but this is first hand experience. It is also very possible that she was just saying this to reassure me that interviewing late didn't mean anything positive or negative about my candidacy, but that is what she told me, and it worked out in the end. Just like they say on the ESPYs, don't give, don't ever give up…at least until you get a definitive decision. Good luck to all of you!

So relax everybody. It has just began.

I see you all think I am wrong. Perhaps you are right. I also read the BW forum and saw that people around the world got invites in the last days. Still, in Israel Devash interviews all Israeli and he gets a list per round together…

For those waiting, I hope I am wrong and you get an invite soon. I too waited until the last day…. It was indeed painful

Hi all,

I wonder whether and when somebody who applied these schools on R2 have been invited to an interview.

In addition, what are the possbile interviewers of Stanford/Haas in Israel?

MIT conducts interview with admission officers, and as far as i understand they do not interview in Israel. Do they demand from Israeli to choose a location for interveiw or cinduct phone interviews?

Thanks,

Barak

מילגות – לדעתי הכי טוב לשאול סטודנטים ישראלים שלומדים שם עכשיו (או שסיימו), כי אפשר להניח שמישהו כבר עשה את החיפושים האלה פעם. ממה שאני יודע ומהנסיון שלי, בתי הספר מציעים בעצמם קצת מילגות לאלו שמתקבלים, בין K01 $ ועד מילגות מלאות. נראה לי שהם שוקלים אוטומטית כל אחד שמתקבל למילגות הללו.

הלוואות – המשרד של ה dia laicnanif הוא ה"מתווך" העיקרי להלוואות. ממי שדיברתי איתו על זה הבנתי שהם מטפלים כמעט בהכל. מאחר ורובנו אזרחים ישראלים וכנראה לא נמצא מישהו אמריקאי (עם tiderc טוב) שיחתום לנו ערבות להלוואה כזו, כנראה נצטרך לקחת את ההלוואות הסטנדרטיות שמציעים לסטודנטים זרים. למרות שאלו לא הלוואות בריבית גבוהה בכלל.

There is a section for international applicants, I think the site is worth checking.

For those of us who qualify, here is one more opportunity:

New scholarship created for whites only

BRISTOL, Rhode Island (AP) —A student group at Roger Williams University is offering a new scholarship for which only white students are eligible, a move they say is designed to protest affirmative action.

The application for the $250 award requires an essay on "why you are proud of your white heritage" and a recent picture to "confirm whiteness."

"Evidence of bleaching will disqualify applicants," says the application, issued by the university's College Republicans.

Jason Mattera, 20, who is president of the College Republicans, said the group is parodying minority scholarships.

"We think that if you want to treat someone according to character and how well they achieve academically, then skin color shouldn't really be an option," he said. "Many people think that coming from a white background you're automatically privileged, you're automatically rich and your parents pay full tuition. That's just not the case."

Hello everybody.

Now that we are done with the major part of the apps, and all that we have to do is sit and wait and be interviewed, i thought it is a good time to raise the 64,000$ Q. is the MBA really worth stopping our lives for two years, and spending about 120,000$. Jobs in the US after the MBA aren't gurenteed, and in Israel as far as I learned employers don't realy care where you earned your MBA, that is if they even care to hire an MBA. Actually many Israely employers consider WE as a much more important factor than the degree. Not to mention that if we have to pay back our tuition loan, while earning an Israeli salary it may take us a long time.

Another Q is even if someone got a job in the US, what will it be, couldn't he had reach that same position just working?

So just share your thoughts, knowledge and experiences in case you are an almni or a current student.

I interviewed for MIT (R1) on campus. I don't think there is an option for an interview in Israel but I think you can have a phone interview. If MIT is your number one choice, I strongly recommend flying to Boston, this is a proof of seriousness.

Good luck

Yael
