Well guys, I had my SIMON interview today at around midnight my time. The interviewer was an Alumni, she was from 2007 batch(Part Time). The interview was more kind of conversational than anything else. The questions were also standard and some of them were as follows :
Walk me through your resume?
Why MBA?
Why do you think this is the right time for you to complete your MBA?
What do you expect from the SIMON school of business?
How can SIMON help you to achieve your goals?(I failed to understand what was the difference between this question and the previous one, comments/suggestions welcome.)
What unique qualities will you be bringing to SIMON?
Tell me about a strength and a weakness in your application?
How do you handle conflicts in your team provide an example from your professional life?
Any Questions I had for her?
I asked her few questions but as she had completed a Part Time MBA she was not able to provide good explanations for the questions I asked which were mostly related to full time program.
This interview of mine made me wonder, as on what factors do the AD-COM decide that a particular candidates needs to be interviewed by the AD-COM or by an Alumni. I feel its not a random selection, What do you guys think?
Till the time me meet again Guten Tag Zusammen :).

Happy New Year!
My first post in new year and would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very successful year ahead!
Now I know what happens if you try to test your endurance. To explain my point I would like to give you my example.
To treat myself on new year I went for "ICE SKATING" with couple of my close friends and boy oh boy... what an experience I had, throughly enjoyed it. I could have never imagined that I would be able to stand on those thin blades let alone skate on them.At the end of the day I did fairly well.
But even after two days I can feel that every bone of my body is crying out loud for help :). I think I just pushed my body over its limit in the excitement of displaying my prowess in skating arena (We were there in the arena for more than 4 hours):).
On the MBA front nothing much is happening, most of the colleges I applied to will be releasing there results by third week of January so wait continues....
Best of luck to other guys in there process.
