Regarding Kensei's question:
למישהו יש ניסיון קודם עם feedback session למועמדים שלא התקבלו, ובפרט – להליך כזה במישיגן? אם כן – איך זה עובד, איזה סוג של פידבק ניתן לקבל, מה כדאי לשאול ועד כמה אפשר לקחת את התשובות ברצינות (או שזה סתם שטאנץ, בקטע של לצאת ידי חובה)?
Hi,
I hope my reply is not to late. I've done a feedback session with Kellogg a couple of months ago. These 15 minutes are valuable, but it depends on the MBA officer and the questions you ask. My recommendations are as follows:
1. The admission officer would most probably not answer any OPEN questions, so provide him with the reasonable possibilities. Try to understand what exactly was less good about your application. For example: "considering my work experience, academic experience and overall contribution to the diversity of the student body, which area do you think was the weakest in my application?".
2. Ask them what did they think was strong with your application. Try to pinpoint by asking if it was strong or just on par with the other candidates.
3. Ask them whether they had a clear picture of whether you fit the school's culture and could succeed in the MBA program.
4. Ask them if there were any parts in your application they recommend you clarified better, etc. Ask them which part they recommend you improved best when you reapply.
5. As always, try to listen to the wording chosen. There's huge difference between "on par", "good", "great", etc.
Best of luck.
